Spottiness of rain.

Iowawill · Jul 30, 2020

In my area of central Iowa, we had not received significant rain for at least a month and a half until last Sunday morning. That morning I had downpours that produced 2.2 inches in roughly an hour and a half. All the cracks sucked it up pretty well. The NWS reporting station just 2 and a half miles south of me reported .02 inches. Yesterday afternoon I got another 1.5 inches in the usual downpour method while the NWS station reported nothing at all. So it goes. Still, crops look mostly better than they should for having endured such a long dry/hot spell. Soy will be helped around me at least and hopefully corn can make some better weights too.

Its been real spotty here since May 26th..Yesterday I got .25 and areas 20 miles to the south and west had 1-2 inches..Its been that way for the past 8 weeks..A few lucky ones will have good crops but not in my immediate area...I've had 4 inches in the past 8 weeks while close neighbors have only had 1-2 inches...

I'm a few miles south of you, 1206, we've got about the same amount as you since May. Just didn't get it at the same time you all did. Got 2" since Tuesday evening.

Southeast Webster county hasn't gotten a good rain since the end of May. Grass is brown. Corn not looking good.

I'm in far SW Boone County. The NWS reporting station is the Perry airport. It's incredible how it can vary that much in such small distances. I hope you get some rain real soon.
