Sustained rainfall has been very difficult to come by for this growing season. Even getting a seven day period with above average rainfall has been rare for most places in the state and especially the southeastern quarter of Iowa. The featured chart presents the number of days each growing season to date that the previous seven days (inclusive) of precipitation was above average for Cedar Rapids. For this metric, this year has the second lowest total since 1900. The next seven days look to be on the dry side of average as well with only modest chances of rain.
