The June precipitation totals have been piling up with some locations in Iowa approaching a record accumulation for the month. For this analysis, Sioux City is shown besting its previous largest June total but long term data does not exist at the site. Other locations like Dubuque, Burlington, and Esterville are just a few intense thunderstorms away from besting their respective records. And then there is Des Moines, which needs over a foot more to break the record (not likely!). The blue circles on the map are a cheesy attempt at illustration the percentage the current June total is to the previous monthly record for June.

Voting:
Good = 13
Bad = 2
