The recent few days have been refreshing after a stretch of brutally high dew points. Dew point temperatures for Des Moines have yet to decline below 60 since the 3rd of July. This makes for the longest period above 60 for Des Moines since the early 1930s. The featured plot presents the yearly maximum streak of having dew point temperatures above 60 and the time period over which the streak occurred. The plot nicely shows most of these streaks happening over July and August. With August only a week old, there is plenty of time to increase our streak this year.
