Tying 129 year old record

Posted: 28 Aug 2024 05:30 AM

The really hot and muggy air over all of the state on Monday was relegated to eastern Iowa on Tuesday with a number of locations there setting or tying daily high temperature records. One such location was Dubuque, with a high temperature of 94°F tying a record set way back in 1895! The featured chart looks into where the present day records lie for Dubuque. The dots represent the year and day of the year combination where the present day records reside. They are colored and counted by decade with the side bar chart for each record type. There are still plenty of records that exist still for the decades even before the 1890s! For each record type, it is interesting to denote any decal trends and even seasonal. For example, for the top two panels, there are very few summer season records being set since about 1950.
