Some Paltry September Totals

01 Oct 2025 05:30 AM
While the calendar now says October, the summer like temperatures look to continue through at least this upcoming weekend. The dry weather looks to continue as well. With the start of a new month, it is a good time to check in on September precipitation totals. The featured map presents a heavily smoothed analysis of available NWS long term climate site precipitation totals for September. Some rather paltry totals below an inch are found over far eastern and northwestern Iowa. The worsening drought this fall season continues to be of concern as the dry August for parts of Iowa was followed by even drier weather during September for most of the state. Not everybody missed out during the month with a number of locations plotted shown above 3.5 inches, which is about average for Iowa during September.
