July Precip Distribution

Posted: 28 Jul 2017 05:27 AM

The large disparity with July precipitation in Iowa does not look to change with the few days left in the month. The featured chart displays the distribution of July precipitation totals for the long term climate sites tracked by the IEM. The distribution this year is shown to be shifted a bit to the left of the long term climatology, assuming a normal distribution. The actual histogram for this year shows many more sites with below average precip than would be indicated by normal.
