Posted: 01 Jun 2015 05:42 AM

May was a recording setting month for precipitation over much of the plains. While Oklahoma and Texas got most of the headlines due to the devastating flooding, heavy rains also fell further north all the way to the Canadian border. The featured map displays IEM computed precipitation percentiles for May by climate district. Plotted values of 1 would indicate the wettest May on record (since 1893) for the area. Only the eastern portion of the Midwest is shown to have had a dry May.
