IEM Daily Feature

November wetter than


Posted: 14 Nov 2024 05:30 AM, Views: 559
For much of the state, this November has been wetter than the previous months of October, September, and even August for not quite as many locations. For Ames, the November total has eclipsed those three months already. The featured chart looks into the frequency of one month having a higher precipitation total than another month for the same calendar year for Ames. The three highlighted boxes are relevant for today's featured topic. It shows that the individual month comparison situation is not necessarily all that rare. While not shown on this chart, a manual database check indicates that having November wetter than all the previous three months almost happened just recently in 2022 with the November total tying August.
