The hope was going into this fall that we could extend the growing season as far as possible due to the late planting dates and cool summer. So far a killing frost has yet to happen in Iowa and the featured map shows that minimum temperatures this fall are on the warm side of climatology. Most of the state is above the 70th percentile, meaning this year has been warmer than at least 70% of the previous years since 1951. The forecast looks to continue the warm weather into at least the first of October.
