Season so far

Data sources. NASA POWER · Most recent days from the nearest airport station via the Iowa Environmental Mesonet. Forecast days 1–7 from the NOAA/NWS API; days 8–16 from Open-Meteo; weeks 2–4 outlooks from the NOAA Climate Prediction Center. County crop yields from USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, Quick Stats. Geocoding by Nominatim, map tiles © OpenStreetMap contributors.

What this is not. Normals are computed from 1996–2025 at a single grid point, not the official NOAA 1991–2020 station normals, so they will not match a NWS climate report exactly. Similar years rank past seasons against this one; they are not a forecast, and a similar start has often been followed by a very different finish. Nothing here is validated against your own rain gauge and it should not be the only input to an irrigation or planting decision.

What we record. To know whether this is useful, the site counts which county each lookup falls in — never the exact point you clicked, which stays on your screen and is thrown away on arrival. It also keeps a random code in your browser so that ten visits from you are not counted as ten different people. That code is not linked to your name, your email or your address, and there is nothing here to link it to. No advertising, and nothing is sold or shared. Add ?notme=1 to the address to switch all of it off for this browser.
