Foot of rainfall events

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 06:11 AM

Heavy rainfall events have once again been common this July with some locations in northeast and southern Iowa unlucky enough to experience multiple heavy rainfall events. The featured chart presents the number of times per year a NWS COOP site has reported more than 12 inches of rainfall. 1993 shows up very prominently with a total double that of any other year. The 2010 total is only year to date, so perhaps this years total will surpass 2008. Let us hope not!
