Day of Warmest March Temp

Posted: 28 Mar 2022 05:30 AM

The forecast for this week, which covers the end of March, does not look all that optimistic for warm weather, but rather reinforces the term "lousy Smarch weather". For Ames, the warmest day this month will have been the 21rst for both warmest high and warmest low temperature. The featured chart presents the frequency of a given day of the month having the warmest high or low temperature for the month for that year. This chart shows a significant preference for such days to occur toward the end of the month. So this year's max on the 21st is within what's typical for the month. This month will have also seen warmer weather to start the month than to end it.
