For places like Des Moines and Ames, it finally rained again yesterday! The Des Moines Airport weather sensor reported measurable rainfall on seven different hours, which exceeded the total to date for all of September and August. The featured chart shows the monthly climatology of number of hours with reported precipitation and this year's total. It is interesting that the climatology for January is about the same as July! Of course the nature of storms for those two months is much different and intensities are much smaller in January. It is raining again this morning in some parts of Iowa and more rain looks to be on the way this week.
