Posted: 30 Dec 2011 05:55 AM
High temperatures on Thursday were almost too good to be true around 50
degrees. How exceptional is it to have 50 degree temperatures in
December? The featured chart presents the daily 95th percentile for
high temperature (which ~50 in December approximately falls). Using
this metric, we can see that our current weather is about equivalent to
having 100 degree temperatures in July. The bottom chart shows the
distance, as normalized by the day's standard deviation, the 95th
