Rain at the State Fair
Posted: 19 Aug 2011 05:57 AM
The Iowa State Fair ends this weekend and has seen about an inch of
rainfall so far, which is close to long term average for the Fair. The
featured chart presents the yearly rainfall totals during the fair and
the frequency of having five hundredths or more of rainfall on a given
day. The smallest value is on day three with a less than one in five
chance. 1977 was the wettest year at over eight inches. This data is
from the Des Moines weather station, which is not located at the fair,
but should be a close approximation.
