5 days of 80 Dewpoints

Posted: 25 Jul 2016 05:31 AM

Much more pleasant air arrived in the state on Sunday afternoon, which ended a remarkable stretch of extremely humid weather. The featured chart displays the maximum dew point temperature as sampled by the hourly observations from the Cedar Rapids Airport weather station. The chart shows five straight days with this value reaching 80+ degrees. It is hard to find precedent for this stretch in the archives of Iowa weather.
