Less than 20% of average

Posted:

Rain has been very difficult to come by this July for most of the state. The featured chart displays an analysis of precipitation percentage of average for the first 15 days of July. Most of the state is shown in the 0 to 20% range with the actual accumulation labeled on the map. Des Moines has only reported six hundredths of an inch, which is the driest start since 1975. The forecast continues the dry weather with temperatures in the 90s for the rest of the week.
