State climatologist Justin Glisan says May was a quiet month for severe weather, after the record setting and deadly May we had last year.
He says that’s the exact opposite of May 2024 numbers.
Glisan says our mile weather was is due to drier conditions, while the southern U-S has been battered this spring.
It was the first time since May 2010 that Iowa had no tornadoes reported. Glisan says May’s moisture didn’t help the area that needed it most.
May is normally a month where southwest Iowa gets caught up on rain.
Glisan says May was a tale of two temperatures.
Glisten says the drier, warmer stretches did work out well for farmers who were trying to get their crops planted.
