Both Close to Average

It stands to reason that since our recently passed month featured periods of very wet, dry, cold, and hot
weather, that the averages for the month would compare closely to average. The featured chart
presents the combination of precipitation and growing degree day departures from average for an IEM
areal averaged for Iowa. This year's value is labelled along with the most extreme years on the plot. A
simple fit line is placed on the plot and shows the intuitive decrease in precipitation with increasing
positive temperature anomaly. The present guidance for June has slightly above average precipitation
and below average temperatures. The near term forecast and more definitive forecast is along those
same lines with not much for extreme heat.
