Tied December Max

06 Dec 2017 05:33 AM
The quick turn of our weather to winter on Tuesday made Monday seem like a distant memory. The highs on Monday were some of the warmest possible during December and Des Moines was able to tie its all time record high temperature for the month. The featured chart displays the monthly maximum temperature records for the site. One can use the values in comparison to other months, so the 69 on Monday is comparable to seeing 110 in July!
