Hours of 90+

Posted: 05 Jul 2018 05:42 AM

Hot and muggy conditions were present in Iowa on Wednesday for the fourth with temperatures at or above 90 degrees for much of the state. The featured map presents the number of hours this year that the temperature was that warm based on a gridded analysis product from the NWS. If you want to beat the heat, this map shows a number of places to consider going. In general, those areas include any where elevated or over water. It is not much wonder why those locations are favored vacation spots for summer. Our forecast keeps temperatures in the 80s for a few days for most of the state, before a return of some 90s next week.
