(Radio Iowa) – There was a wealth of rain for several areas of the state in June, but State Climatologist Justin Glisan says the statewide average was pretty close to normal. “Overall precipitation for the state was about six inches, and that’s about three-quarters of an inch above average,” Glisan says. He says many areas saw totals well beyond the statewide average. “There were pockets anywhere from 150 to 180 percent of normal. So think widespread one to three inch above average totals across the state, particularly in Western Iowa, North Central Iowa as well,” he says.

Glisan says northeast Iowa was the one area that remained below normal. June ended up a little warmer than normal. “Statewide average temperature, about 72 degrees, and that’s a little over two degrees above average,” Glisan says. Glisan says a stretch of days from June 21st to the 23rd tipped the temperature scale for the month.

“Very high temperatures up in the 90s, also very strong winds out of the south and dew points up in the 70s,” he says. “So those three things don’t really come together, but they did push the average a little higher given those three days of warmth.” Glisan says some of the rain totals for June will be in the top 25 for records in those areas.

(Radio Iowa) – While tornadoes can strike in any season, any day of the year, today marks the last day of what’s considered the peak season for twisters in Iowa. Meteorologist Jim Lee, at the National Weather Service, says Iowa has seen very few tornadoes so far in 2025, especially when compared to last year’s multiple outbreaks that brought the annual tally to a stunning 125 tornadoes.

“We did have the most recorded tornadoes in Iowa history, although that comes with a big asterisk, but this year it’s been very quiet,” Lee says. “There’s been, I believe, fewer than 10 so far, confirmed in Iowa this year. The numbers are still preliminary.” That compares to more than 100 tornadoes by this date a year ago. Lee says there are several reasons for the smaller number of tornadoes this year statewide.

“Last year, we just had a very long and a very active tornado season. Obviously, it was well above normal and this year being well below normal. Part of that is just how the storm tracks set up, where the jet stream is for a lot of the spring in particular. We had somewhat cooler than normal weather, so that kind of cuts down on instability,” Lee says. “This summer, we’ve had plenty of heat so far, but we haven’t had a lot of wind shear in a lot of these events, so that cuts down on the tornado threat.”

While the main season for tornadoes in Iowa — April through June — is now coming to an end, Lee stresses that Iowans should not let down their guard, as twisters can form anytime, as they did on December 15th of 2021 when we saw 63 twisters in one day.

“Absolutely, which was a really extreme event. That was actually the most tornadoes in one day in Iowa history, and it was in December, so go figure,” Lee says. “They can happen at any time of year, and the peak historically has been particularly May and June, but it’s not a rapid drop off after that. It just slowly tapers off through the summer.”

During last year’s record-setter, 98 of Iowa’s 125 tornadoes struck during either April or May.
