Iowa State climatologist Justin Glisan says although October ended with an extended period of dry weather, Iowa received a statewide average of 4.6-inches of rain. That’s just over two-inches above normal for the month.

Sections of northeast Iowa received the most rain last month, around four-to-six inches above-normal.

Some Iowans saw snow fly in October. Areas of western Iowa received roughly two-to-six inches of snow on the 14th. The statewide average high temperature for October was 59-degrees, while the average overnight low was 38.

Glisan says the outlook for November calls for below average temperatures and above normal precipitation.
