This one's for you if you want to understand weather better! Join Dan Fillius, Iowa State University Extension Horticulture Field Specialist, and Dr. Justin Glisan, Iowa’s State Climatologist, as they discuss what is happening in the world of Iowa weather. Every week during the main growing season we'll discuss recent weather, its impacts on fruits and vegetables, and provide a climate outlook for the coming week in Iowa. Let us know what you think, though as Mark Twain once said, "If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes."2023 博物学 生物科学 科学 自然・生態学

    What in the Weather? - August 21, 2025 Episode Summary Weather Discussion
    • Historic perspective: August 21, 2004 saw unusually cool temps (upper 30s) in northern Iowa - opposite of current conditions
    • Hot summer analysis: July averaged 2°F above normal with exceptional humidity (85% of days had above-average dew points)
    • Heat index impact: Triple-digit heat index values driven more by high dew points (upper 70s-low 80s) than air temperatures
    • Moisture source: Gulf moisture "gate wide open" with southerly winds bringing exceptional humidity to upper Midwest
    Forecast
    • Weekend cooldown: Dramatic temperature drop to highs in 70s, overnight lows in upper 40s-mid 50s
    • Extended outlook: Southeastern Iowa likely colder late August, September outlook shows warm/dry trend
    • Precipitation: Minimal rainfall expected (0.1-0.25") with best chance Friday night into Saturday
    • La Niña watch: Potential fall development could affect late October/November weather patterns
    Specialty Crop Impacts
    • Disease issues: Rhizoctonia root rot affecting snapdragons; tomato brown rugose fruit virus causing uneven ripening
    • Pest spotlight: European corn borer infesting dahlia stems and peppers - biological control with Trichogramma wasps recommended
    • Growing challenges: Excessive moisture limiting planting windows; late-planted fall crops struggling to establish
    • Crop performance: Good pepper year for some growers, but eggplant and tomato fruit set suffering from heat stress
