Daily GDD Climatology

Posted: 11 Apr 2017 04:59 AM

The growing season is tantalizingly close and computed variables like growing degree days become important for tracking plant growth and development. The featured chart displays the combination of daily GDD totals for this year, the range between the 5th, 95th percentile and average of daily values based on period of record data. This year has seen a number of days with very warm temperatures and you can see these showing dots well above the 95th percentile. Of course, even with the warm weather, there is still plenty of time for freezing temperatures.

Voting:
Good = 8
