Climate Districts are a spatial aggregation that exist between individual counties and states that provide a map unit to produce estimated climate data on. The IEM generates daily spatially averaged estimates of precipitation and high/low temperature for these climate districts and has daily data available back to 1893. The featured map displays the rank of the September total precipitation for each of these districts. A value of one represents the wettest month. Even within a climate district, there is plenty of variability as convective rain events are on a much smaller scale and thus lead to large district to district differences in some cases.
