Half Inch over Seven Days

Posted: 20 May 2019 05:33 AM

The wet and chilly weather mostly dominated this past weekend again adding to the general misery that has been May in Iowa this year. The featured chart presents a daily estimate of the portion of Iowa that had received at least a half inch of precipitation over the trailing seven days. The May depiction is rather solid green indicating that the drier areas have been limited so far this season. The comparison with the end of April is noticeable, but this plot does not take into account cold soil temperatures when attempting to apply toward agricultural crop planting suitability.
