Cedar Rapids 100+ hours below 0
Posted: 17 Feb 2021 05:45 AM
After a very frigid start to Tuesday morning, temperatures did warm to values above zero Fahrenheit
for the first time in a number of days for many locations in the state. Cedar Rapids stopped the
streak lasting over 100 consecutive hours below zero. The featured chart presents such streaks
below zero for the site based on the hourly temperature data available. The 2021 stretch is the
longest since a very cold period back in 1996. It is hard to know for sure what's the longest such
streak on record given the shorter period of available hourly daily. The daily data records go much
further back and, of course, if the daily high temperature is below zero, the hourly data would have
followed if it existed.
