State climatologist Justin Glisan says the rain across the state this week helped bump the month of October down the dry weather record book.
He says much of the state got some rainfall to impact the average for October, which still ended up below normal.
The storms that brought the late October rain also brought in some cold weather — including some snowflakes in northern Iowa. Glisan says the lack of moisture impacted overall temperatures.
Glisan says the early indicators for November are showing the potential for above average temperatures, with a potential for more precipitation.
