Average temperatures in Iowa and the region are shifting cooler, bucking trend

Ag/Outdoor, Weather

May 6th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – When you hear the average temperature or rainfall during the weather, that’s typically based on the past three decades of information, and this week the National Weather Service updated that temperature and precipitation data. Doug Kluck, the weather service’s Central Region climate services director, says they roll the averages forward every ten years.

“We’re taking 1991 through 2020 compared to 1981 through 2010, so that’s a ten-year adjustment forward in a 30-year full period,” Kluck says. “We’re going to see how much the climate has changed in those ten years.” Kluck says the new numbers show a cooling trend across the Northern Plains states, which includes Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas. “Guess what happened in the last ten years across the Northern Plains, what have we seen up there? An abundance of what? Not necessarily cold air, but an abundance of moisture, right?” Kluck says.

“We’ve had some pretty wet years, let’s say, in the last ten across the Northern Plains, thus, the temperatures are dampened a little bit.” While most of the nation is trending warmer with the shift in the decades of averages, Iowa and its neighbors are seeing a cooling trend. “Other parts of the country, not so much,” he says. “If you go to the West, especially in the Southwest, you’re going to see a lot more increases in temperature when you compare the last 30-year period to the new 30-year period.”

As for the Northern Plains, Kluck says they’re seeing cooler temperatures lingering longer in the spring, with warmer temperatures pushing further into the fall.

22-0 committee vote for Iowa House GOP tax plan

News

May 6th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Democrats on a House committee joined Republicans in voting for the House G-O-P’s latest tax plan. It includes more than two dozen tax changes, but notably does NOT include using state tax dollars rather than county property taxes to support Iowa’s mental health system. SENATE Republicans and Governor Reynolds back that move, but House Republicans say it’s a big policy shift that needs more work. Representative Chuck Isenhart of Dubuque, a Democrat, agrees.

“I understand that the Senate bill proposes to make what many could consider potentially radical changes to how we deliver mental health in this state based on who pays for it,” Isenhart says, “and I agree with Speaker Grassley that we have not really considered all the ramifications.” House Ways and Means Committee chairman Lee Hein, a Republican from Monticello, acknowledges the debate among Republicans over tax policy isn’t resolved, however.

“I’m hoping we’re getting close to being at the end, but anything can happen and ‘stay tuned’ I guess would be my message,” Hein said. The HOUSE is planning to debate some state budget plans today (Thursday) and perhaps tomorrow (Friday), but there’s no universal agreement on state spending among Republicans in the House and Senate. Senate Democratic Leader Zach Wahls of Coralville says there is no end in sight for the 2021 legislative session.

“Here we are now, swinging into May, and Republicans are kind of squabbling with each other over the budget and taxes…and don’t really have a clear sense of how to get out of this mess that they’ve made for themselves.” Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver says Senate Republicans want to resolve the tax impasse before making final decisions on the state budget plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1st.
