Fall Duration
Posted: 03 Dec 2010 05:46 AM
Following up on the previous day's feature, today's featured plot
presents an IEM computed metric of the climatological duration of the
fall season. The number of days presented represent the time between
the warmest 91 day period and coolest 91 day period based on daily
climatological high and low temperatures. Think of it as the number of
days it takes to get from the warmest quarter of the year to coolest.
Iowa is shown right around 90 days, which is about what one would
expect for having evenly distributed seasons. The plot would suggest
that if you like the fall, don't live on the west coast!
