Ames vs Sioux City

Posted: 25 Nov 2022 05:30 AM

With just over a month to go for this year and a month that does not feature all that much precipitation, it is a good time to compare totals for the year as what is done by the featured chart. The chart compares the yearly totals of precipitation for Ames and Sioux City. The difference between the two is color coded as blue when Ames is wetter for the year than Sioux City. The chart shows that only the drought year of 1988 featured a Sioux City total higher than Ames since 1962. The noise shown during the early 1900s is likely a data quality issue more than an actual difference.
