While up to three inches of rain fell on Thursday over a few counties in southwestern Iowa, the rest of the state, including Des Moines, got a big fat zero! It seems like Des Moines has missed out on the rainfall events this summer and the featured chart illustrates it. The chart shows the percentage of days during Jun, Jul, and Aug where some location in the state picked up an inch of rain and Des Moines reported over 0.5 inch as well on the same day. The percentage this year is the lowest since 1951! While heavy rainfall events have occurred this summer, some locations in the state, like Des Moines, have consistently missed out. Some might call this being jinxed.
