Play in the Rain

Posted: 15 Aug 2018 05:36 AM

In the absence of lightning, summer rains can be nice to play in. One of the main reasons this activity is pleasant is that air temperatures are typically warm. The featured chart looks at the frequency of reported air temperatures for Ames by week of the year when precipitation is being reported. A simple weekly average is plotted as well and shows the months of July and August having the warmest temperatures during rainfall. The chart quickly plummets during the fall season, so the chilly rains are not that far away!
