June max temp and rainfall

Posted: 30 Jun 2010 05:09 AM

The featured chart plots the relationship between the total rainfall during June with maximum temperature observed based on data from Ames. The red lines indicate the average value and the percentages show the frequency of the observations in each quadrant. Having both above average rainfall and maximum temperature is the least common combination, which makes physical sense as typically the warmest temperatures are associated with dry soils, which implies less precipitation. The 2010 value is shown with the red dot.
