March Warmer Than...

Posted: 11 Apr 2022 05:25 AM

Up until Sunday, temperatures this April have been struggling. Of course, struggling is a relative term and even such temperatures during April are often much better than we would expect to see in March on a good day. The featured chart looks into having the average temperature for one month being warmer than the other month during the same calendar year for Ames. For the March to April comparison, all April's have topped the previous March. The climatological pull this time of year is very strong as increasing solar incidence angle and lengthening days both promote warming of the soils, which helps to buoy temperatures. Of stint of very nice weather on Sunday will be short lived with a major storm system set to arrive on Tuesday.
