June has gotten off to a hot start and with the dry conditions over parts of the state, comparisons to the infamous "Dust Bowl" have been floating around. The featured chart presents a comparison between the warmest June for Ames (1934) for average temperature and scenarios based on this year's month to date accumulated value with each previous June's data appended onto the end. None of these scenarios are able to top the 1934 value, which was really boosted by an epic warm start to that month. The forecast continues the warm temperatures, but overnight values are not too bad, which is also pulling down the average some.
