With the calendar turning to September, it is a good time to look back on the summer season that was! The featured map presents IEM unofficial climate district ranks for total precipitation over the June, July, and August months. A value of one would indicate the wettest on record since 1893. There are some large contrasts indicated over the Midwestern US with the most noticeable one over northeastern South Dakota to northern North Dakota or even that of south-central South Dakota! Iowa's summer season was rather wet with only southwestern Iowa indicated to be only slightly above a long term average. The rest of the state was at about the 85th percentile or higher for total precipitation.
