La Niña Keeping Weather Warm

Statewide Iowa — State Climatologist, Justin Glisan, says June, July and August have been warmer and drier than normal for the last three years.

Glisan says the La Niña weather pattern is to blame and it could impact fall as well.

He says La Niña is a cold sea surface temperature anomaly in the Pacific that impacts where the storm tracks set up over the United States. It could hang around through winter.

Glisan says the La Niña impact has been felt across much of the upper Midwest.
