Fall Day Difference

Posted: 27 Oct 2026 05:30 AM, Views: 521
Your location within Iowa made a big difference if you found Monday to be an excellent fall day or not. The featured map presents an analysis of Iowa airport high temperatures. A range of over 30°F is shown with Centerville reaching 79°F and Sheldon + Sioux County only reaching 45°F! This same gradient looks to repeat itself on Tuesday and even Wednesday before warmer air pushes north and northwestern Iowa is not left out again on the continued nice fall weather that the rest of the state has enjoyed for just over a week now.
