Chicago WX Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hoosier's thread got me thinking, so I put together something for Indianapolis with monthly average temperature departures. Indy's official recorded history is pretty much divided between downtown sites (1871-1942) and the airport sites (1943-present). With that in mind, I separated the two...because there logically would be a bit of a difference between the two ("urban" downtown warmer, "rural" airport cooler). Plus temperature siting/measuring issues and what not throughout time. Departures for each site based off the average of their respective periods of record. Month/Year in italics means another year not shown is tied with that value. Downtown era monthly temperatures and departures • top 5 warmest and coolest for each month. Period of record 1871-1942: Airport era monthly temperatures and departures • top 5 warmest and coolest for each month. Period of record 1943-present: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks fellas. Moral of the story: the cool/cold season months of December, January, February, and March have the biggest temperature extreme capabilities for Indianapolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
