A recent warm spell had International Falls, “Minnesota’s Icebox,” above 90 degrees for four consecutive days.
“Just remarkable for them, absolutely remarkable,” Climatologist and meteorologist Mark Seeley told MPR News host Cathy Wurzer on Friday’s “Morning Edition.”
But northern Minnesota wasn’t the only place feeling the heat.
From May 11 to May 14, dozens of climate stations all the way down to Granite Falls in southwestern Minnesota reported daily record high temperatures over 90 degrees.
“I think we set close to 90 daily temperature records this week,” Seeley said.
Wurzer spoke with Seeley about the abundance of warm weather in their weekly weather chat, during the last day of Spring Member Drive.
