Cold weather is expected for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon on Sunday, April 30. There can be a variety of weather conditions in late April when this marathon is run. Past races have been warm and muggy, with relatively light breezes. Other races have been in jeopardy due to thunderstorms. The start of the 2014 marathon was delayed by nearly two hours as thunderstorms moved into the area prior to the start.

The weather is moderating across most of the country at this time of year, and many areas are enjoying at least occasional pleasant weather days. So, we decided to take a look at which cities in the country have the most and fewest number of nice weather days per year. Everyone has their own idea of what weather constitutes “pleasant”, and while I personally enjoy cold and snowy weather, sunny days with highs in the 70s are also nice.

Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and by transpiration from living plants. Estimates of potential ET¹ are used by professionals in the fields of hydrology, agriculture, and water management. Many irrigation companies use precipitation data and potential ET estimates to make irrigation recommendations for growers, including WDT’s partner HydroBio, who makes such recommendations across the United States and South America.
