Ask the Meteorologists
Have a question for our meteorologists? Post it here and check back later for the answer.
Hi. can you tell me how many 90+ days we had in 2007 either by month or total? is this information available in table form anywhere on your website.
MIKE MOSS SAYS: Rick, There were 83 days in 2007 with temperatures reaching 90 degrees or more at the Raleigh-Durham airport. This broke the old RDU record of 72 days, set back in 1953, and is far above the normal yearly total of 39.
You can check this kind of information using the "Get historical data" link on our our almanac page. Once you go to a date in 2007, just switch the view from "daily" to "monthly" and you can scan a table of daily observations to see how many hight temperatures reached the threshold.

- Where can I find the allergy information that used to be on the website? Thanks! Posted: Aug. 26, 2008
- Hey there, I was just wondering how much money do meteorologists get paid? Also, HOW do you get paid exactly? I know that the salaries and whatnot may differ from city to city, how experienced you are, and what broadcast network you work with, but I'd like to have the general overview of a life as a meteorologist, including the pay. :) Posted: Aug. 26, 2008
- Define "excessive lightning". Isn't one strike too much if it hits your house, and 1000 strikes irrelevant if no damage occurs? Also using the term "excessive" impies that lower amount is acceptable, right? Posted: Aug. 23, 2008
