Posted:
While most of the state has seen a sub 60°F temperature recently, the urban heat island of Des Moines has remained at or above that level for 72 straight days. At the time of this feature writing, it is unclear if that streak will continue this Friday morning, but there is metaphysical certitude that the streak will end sometime this weekend and even may make it down into the 40s by early next week. The featured chart presents the longest such streaks for Des Moines. This year's streak will finish as third longest for the site on record.
Updated: The low dipped below 60 on Sunday for Des Moines, so the streak ended at 74 days
