Late for Two Days of 90+

Posted: 29 Sep 2023 05:30 AM

It appears summer wants to return to the state with forecast high temperatures expected in the upper 80s and even some lower 90s over the state over these next three days. It is certainly quite late in the season for such high temperatures and the featured chart presents the frequency of having two consecutive days of a high temperature of at least 90 degrees for Des Moines. The side table lists the end date of the earliest and latest in the season events. The 5th and 6th of October 1963 is shown to be the latest such event. While not shown, the latest three day stretch record for the site ended on 1 October 1897.
