Heatwaves In The Midwest Used To Be Much Worse
Posted on July 1, 2012 by stevengoddard

Des Moines has had only one 100 degree day during the last nine years, but in 1934 they had 31 days over 100 degrees, including three days in May.



U.S. Historical Climatology Network

It reached 101 on June 27 this year, and alarmists went hysterical. One hundred degree days used to happen on a regular basis in Des Moines. Now they are extremely rare.
