How does today's temperature compare to the average on this date?
This map is a temperature map, but it doesn't show actual temperatures. It shows temperature anomalies, or how much colder (blue-to-purple) or warmer (tan-to-red) than average it is on February 26, 2014.

Use the key to write a description of the temperature where your test garden is located. Pick a second test garden location and describe their temperature.

• Predict how temperature anomalies might affect when test gardens emerge.
