Minneapolis 70+ Streak

Posted: 22 Sep 2022 05:30 AM

A week or so ago, the daily feature denoted that Waterloo had established a new record for consecutive days with a low temperature above 50 degrees. Today's feature denotes a similar type streak, but for daily high temperatures at or above 70 degrees for Minneapolis, MN. The high on Wednesday was just 70 and with a forecast high much cooler on Thursday, it appears the streak will end at 118 days. The featured chart presents the longest such streaks with the bar chart showing the longest such streak by day of the year. The frequency of having such warm high temperatures really drops off in a hurry during October and becomes nearly impossible to have more than a one day streak during the winter months. Having such warm weather this September will likely increase the shock once full blow fall season arrives in a few weeks.
