For Des Moines, the summer of 2010 came so close to breaking the record for precipitation. The featured chart shows that for most of the summer, 2010 had a sizable lead over the hallowed 1993. With just three days to go, 1993 overtook this year and barely held on to win by just 7 hundredths of an inch! Heavy rainfall once again visited the state last night, but it was not quite enough for Des Moines.
