All-time seasonal high of 68F from December 1998 appears to be safe. INL set a monthly record high last month, but will come short of the February record high. Still one of only a handful of years in which it reached 50F or better in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Minneapolis has now set two outright monthly record high temperatures in the last 5 months (with records dating to 1872) - 92 in October, and 65 in February. Additionally, only one year exceeded the 98F reading from September (1931 - 104, on 9/10; and 99, on 9/8), and the 55F reading in January has been exceeded only twice (1/25/1944 - 58F; and 1/24/1981 - 57F). Honorable mention to August - the 98F reading has only been exceeded in 9 years (5 of them by just one degree). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
