A month's worth in a day
Posted: 08 Jun 2010 05:09 AM
Yesterday's feature highlighted the rainfall recorded at Lamoni. The
station reported more rainfall in a day than what on average falls
during the entire month of June! The featured chart today displays
the frequency of a climate site in Iowa picking up more rainfall in a
day than what is average for the month. While the chart may seem
counter intuitive, monthly precipitation averages during the winter
months are much lower and so a bit easier to exceed than the summer
months. More heavy rainfall is occurring this morning.
