next week's temps forecast for Iowa...

[bagdropper]

There's been more than one post commenting on how utterly gorgeous it's been the past couple days (temps wise, it has been awesome), but that's coming to an end unfortunately. I know our southern posters will say big deal and all that, but these temps really don't occur in Iowa all too often at all and especially don't occur in mid to late August.

For CR per the NWS...just in time for school to begin. And these are air temps, not heat indexes.

Sunday = 99
Monday = 100
Tuesday = 101
Wednesday = 100
Thursday = 100

Let's hope it doesn't get that bad.

CR 7 day forecasts - NWS

I like riding bike in the heat. Bring it.

You are a dumb person fuk the heat

Most of this summer Davenport has felt like San Diego and it's been amazing.

This forecast is typical July/August weather in Iowa. Not awesome, but tolerable.

You had to figure we were due for at least one more heat wave before autumn.

And, no rain. Most of Iowa remains in a drought.

That forecast is certainly a bagdropper.

I will take that over snow any day.

Yeah, the last few mornings when I've been out on the trail have been BEAUTIFUL. Big time football weather/fall vibes. Got me giddy for fall, but knew we'd still have another blast of heat. Looks like the next week is going to be rough.

Monday afternoon a cold front skimmed NE Iowa and dumped some fairly good totals...some places got 2-3" of rain for the day. For about 2 hours we got drenched - just over 2" in my rain gauge.

It was very strange to sit through the thunderstorm that rolled through. They've been so rare this year - the kind of straight down no wind type of storms that normally you should get once every other week normally.

And of course, for the most part about 90% of Iowa never got a drop out of it.

I have a forecast of crotchrot and no sex for HROT next week

Yep, same here. For whatever reason biking in the hottest weather doesn't really bother me as long as I don't over-extend things. For example, I wouldn't want to do a RAGBRAI kinda thing for a full week in the coming heat.

But going out a couple times a day for 60 minutes each...no problem. That last hot stretch in late July I believe it was, I actually biked more that week than any point the entire summer.

I'm glad the heat wave left Florida and relocated to Iowa.

Have fun with that, y'all!

Just in time to turn the carp on this weekend. Hopefully. Been pretty slow this week. Carp usually like it hot though

You oughta see the size of jig she can get in her mouth.

Won't matter to me. I'm starting an 8 day run tomorrow. Maybe 14 straight if I switch a weekend. But at least there's air conditioning.

54 on my morning commute today. Wild.
I'll have to start watering my trees. We've been skipped by all but one of the big storms.

The first 2 days with no AC in my room is going to suck.

Not looking forward to it. My late mother remembered this summer and trying to sleep outside on the porch.


Heatwave of July 1936
Des Moines endured a stretch of 15 consecutive days where temperatures were over 100 degrees. On July 15th, the average high for all 113 weather stations in Iowa measured 108.7. It is still the hottest month and the hottest summer in Iowa's history.
