So far in 2008, the temperatures in Iowa have been below average. The chart above shows that Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Sioux City and Dubuque are all below average YTD (Year to Date) with departures between 1.7°-3° below the typical average. With a little over 2 months remaining in the year, there is little doubt the year will end below average statewide for 2008.
