It is that time of year

Posted: 18 Jul 2011 05:57 AM

Heat index values soared to well over 100 degrees this past weekend thanks to highs in the 90s and dew point readings in the upper 70s and lower 80s. The featured chart presents frequency of having a 100+ heat index by hour and week of the year based on observations from the Des Moines sensor. The bullseye is right about now, the third week of July which is also the warmest week of the year. The very hot weather looks to continue this week.

Voting:
Good = 14
