Recent beat of early January

Posted: 04 Apr 2019 05:33 AM

The featured chart displays statistics on the year to date warmest high temperature for Ames. This year is compared with long term average along with the envelope of data. The warmth of early January set a somewhat high bar that was only recently beat by the warmer weather of late March as shown by the blue line. For the present value, we are only a few degrees below average meaning that our typical year to date warmest high temperature is not far from this year. The chart nicely shows that by the end of April, we should have seen our first 80 degree day, which would feel amazing! There is hope that maybe we can eek out a 70 degree high on Saturday.
