Our current stretch of warm May temperatures continued on Wednesday with highs again well into the 80s for most of the state. The featured plot checks in on hourly temperature percentiles for the month of May using period of record observations from Ames. Of interest is the bottom left panel, which shows the hourly temperature percentiles so far this month. These are computed against the hourly temperatures for May over the period of record. The side histogram for the panel shows that we have seen a balance of cool and warm temperatures for this month with the highest frequencies coming somewhere near the middle. Slightly cooler temperatures will arrive for the weekend, but still will be on the warm side of average.
