Drought History

Posted: 09 Sep 2011 05:54 AM

The current analysis of drought severity in the state has just over half of Iowa under abnormal or worse drought condition. The featured graph shows the history of drought category coverage over Iowa since the year 2000. The past 5 years have been relatively drought free with 2008 and 2010 being very wet years. The forecast does not have much in the way of rain chances for the next week as our dry weather continues.
