Dew Point Streaks

Posted: 28 Jun 2013 05:46 AM

Our recent bout with muggy weather looks to be taking a respite in the coming days. The featured chart presents the longest periods of having a dew point at or above the given temperature based on hourly observations from Des Moines. For example, back in 2011 the dew point was above 65 degrees for nearly 40 days straight. The upcoming drop in dew point will help limit heavy rainfall events as we really need to dry out in the state.

Good = 114
