--June: Summer has finally arrived!! We start to see really hot days ranging in the eighties and nineties. You know what that means, time to go to the pool! Soaking up the sun, going on waterslides, and messing around in the pool is what the summer is all about. June nights can consist of grilling out, going to a baseball game or running around outside until the bugs get too bad.
--July: Time for some fireworks! The temperatures will creep up even more during these 31 days as we get to experience days over one hundred! Maybe it's time for family vacation, a day out on the lake, or a cookout with some friends.
--August: The time has come for summer to start slowly dwindling down. The days are still hot so last minute trips to the waterpark or amusement park are a must. It's these last minute plans that will make your summer worth bragging about! As school comes around the corner, so does the fall type of weather.
--September: School is in session, the leaves are falling, and the football games are rocking! September is the most perfect month to watch a good football game outside on Friday nights. It still tends to be warm during the day but by night you better bundle up. Another fun idea is to go apple picking! It's a unique way to be outside in the fall and eat more apples in one day than you ever thought you could.
--October: Fall has officially arrived. You better dig up those jeans and sweatshirts. There are occasionally warm days which give you a last minute chance at some warmth before the winter months take over. Raking leaves and jumping in the piles define a perfect fall activity. Plan a Halloween party and have a most creative costume contest!
--November: This is the time of year to start embracing winter. In Iowa you never know when the first snow is going to arrive but November is a good possibility. Thanksgiving is just around the corner so spending lots of indoor fun with family and friends is a must. Who knows there might even be that fluky day where its nice enough to play catch outside.
--December: The Christmas trees are being cut down, stockings are being put up and the cookies are being baked. It is very easy to ignore the bitter cold days outside when your so busy with Christmas plans. The snow just adds to the holiday spirit and no one seems to mind too much. Going shopping for gifts, going to holiday parties, putting up the decorations, and of course spending time with family and friends over the Christmas season!
Well there you have it, a glimpse at the crazy typical Iowa weather and how to make the best of it!
