Ames Sub-60 Streak
Posted: 24 Mar 2023 05:30 AM
It has been a rather interesting winter with plenty of precipitation and rather limited periods of very cold
temperatures. For Ames, the temperature has yet to reach 60 degrees this year and one needs to go
all the way back to 12 November 2022 for the last such temperature. The featured chart presents the
yearly maximum streaks below 60 degrees for Ames. The top 20 events shows the ongoing event
coming in 19th place, but likely not going to climb into the top 10 as warmer temperatures are expected
by around the first of April, which is the end of next week! The end date of these streaks is informative
to denote that they rarely can last more than the first week into April. The 1974-1975 streak is certainly
an outlier, lasting till the 15th.
