Year of Last 100+ Degree High

Posted: 10 Jun 2017 06:29 AM

The heat arrives in force today with forecasted highs expected to be in the upper 90s and perhaps some triple digit readings will be possible over the next few days. That begs the question of when was the last 100+ daily high temperature for sites in Iowa. The featured map displays that value for the NWS COOP / long term climate sites tracked in the state by the IEM. For most of the state, it has been 4-5 years since reaching 100+ degrees. Over northern Iowa, there are some locations that haven't reported such a temperature since the 1990s!
