DAYTON — Our average high temperature at the Dayton International Airport (DAY) is roughly 37 degrees. This number rises as we inch through the month of February.

However the Miami Valley has struggled to warm to freezing over the last two weeks.

Wednesday marks the twelfth consecutive day for DAY at or below freezing. The record took place in 1985 with 23 days at or below freezing.
