Tuesday was yet another very warm day in Iowa with highs pushing 90 degrees for much of the state. For Des Moines, Tuesday tied the previous record for most days with high temperature at or above 82 and 83 degrees. The featured chart presents the maximum number of days per year at or above a given temperature threshold. The current maximum number of days is shown in gold and the 2012 total so far is shown in cardinal (Go Cyclones!). High temperatures today will come close to breaking the tie at the 82 and 83 thresholds. Keep in mind that we still have 3.5 months left to potentially break some of these other thresholds.
