May Precip Reliability
Posted: 16 May 2023 05:30 AM
At the half way point of May, the precipitation total for Ames is on pace to meet the monthly climatology
by the end of the month. The featured chart looks into the reliability of a given month meeting at least
80% of the climatology over the past 20 years. Rewording, which months over the past 20 years have
been the most reliable for producing climatological rainfall. It is interesting to see the months of May
and December tied for most reliable on this chart. The month of October is shown as the laggard. The
forecast for the next seven days just has a good chance of rain on Thursday into Friday, but dry and
warmer otherwise.
