Algona vs Iowa

Posted: 09 Sep 2024 05:30 AM

Of the long term climate stations that the IEM tracks, Algona (north central Iowa) has received the largest amount of precipitation within the state. The featured chart compares the yearly total for the site against an areal averaged value for the state computed by the IEM. As it currently stands, this year's difference is the largest positive difference for the site. A majority of the years see the site's precipitation total below the statewide average, which makes sense as precipitation totals generally decrease as you travel north and west in the state. Unfortunately, this week looks bone dry for all of the state, so this shown difference won't be changing anytime soon!
