Wettest First Three Weeks of October

Posted: 23 Oct 2019 05:34 AM

To say that it has been wet this October would be a bit of an understatement. The featured chart displays the total precipitation for Des Moines between the period of 1 and 22 October each year. For this 22 day period, the total precipitation is, by far, the wettest on record. The total is a full inch above the next closest year! The forecast has a few chances to add to this total and perhaps break the October record of 7.29 inches (1941).
