Wet Day Average
Posted: 21 Sep 2015 04:33 AM
Much of Iowa has seen a number of intense rainfalls this year. The featured chart presents
the average daily precipitation on days with precipitation reported for each year for Ames.
A long term mean, a mean calculated over the 1981-2010 period, and a trailing 30 year
mean is shown as well to look for changes. This analysis does not show much change as
they all are around 0.35 inches. If you assume a rough 35 inch per year annual total, you
can back out around 100 days per year with precipitation which equates to 2.5 days per
week with precip. The rain chances this week look to come around mid-week.
