Drought September 1, 2023 – September 30, 2023 · Worth, Iowa

What the National Weather Service wrote

Widespread severe to extreme drought persisted in Worth county during September given the above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation.

The wider storm

A continuation of above normal temperatures and lack of rainfall contributed to a deterioration of drought conditions across central Iowa. A small area of Exceptional Drought developed in Tama county by the end of the month. Agricultural crops were mainly unaffected by this point in the season as many of the crops had already reached maturity. However, the drier conditions did hasten the dry down of crops with harvest in full swing by the end of the month.
