Over the last half century, average annual precipitation in most of the Midwest has increased by 5 to 10 percent. But rainfall during the four wettest days of the year has increased about 35 percent, and the amount of water flowing in most streams during the worst flood of the year has increased by more than 20 percent. During the next century, spring rainfall and average precipitation are likely to increase, and severe rainstorms are likely to intensify. Each of these factors will tend to further increase the risk of flooding".<sup id="cite_ref-EPA_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EPA-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tornadoes">Tornadoes</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Climate_change_in_Iowa&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Tornadoes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:FEMA_-_44901_-_Damaged_Private_Property_in_Iowa.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/FEMA_-_44901_-_Damaged_Private_Property_in_Iowa.jpg/220px-FEMA_-_44901_-_Damaged_Private_Property_in_Iowa.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/FEMA_-_44901_-_Damaged_Private_Property_in_Iowa.jpg/330px-FEMA_-_44901_-_Damaged_Private_Property_in_Iowa.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/FEMA_-_44901_-_Damaged_Private_Property_in_Iowa.jpg/440px-FEMA_-_44901_-_Damaged_Private_Property_in_Iowa.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3008" data-file-height="2000" /></a><figcaption>Flood damage, <a href="/wiki/Lake_Delhi" class="mw-redirect" title="Lake Delhi">Lake Delhi</a>, 2010</figcaption></figure> <p>"Scientists do not know how the frequency and severity of <a href="/wiki/Tornado" title="Tornado">tornadoes</a> will change. Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases tend to increase humidity, and thus, atmospheric instability, which would encourage tornadoes. But wind shear is likely to decrease, which would discourage tornadoes. Research is ongoing to learn whether tornadoes will be more or less frequent in the future. Because Iowa experiences about 50 tornadoes a year, such research is closely followed by meteorologists in the state".<sup id="cite_ref-EPA_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EPA-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mississippi_and_Missouri_Rivers">Mississippi and Missouri Rivers</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Climate_change_in_Iowa&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Mississippi and Missouri Rivers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:P081312PS-0597_(8000541542).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/P081312PS-0597_%288000541542%29.jpg/220px-P081312PS-0597_%288000541542%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/P081312PS-0597_%288000541542%29.jpg/330px-P081312PS-0597_%288000541542%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/P081312PS-0597_%288000541542%29.jpg/440px-P081312PS-0597_%288000541542%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4096" data-file-height="2731" /></a><figcaption>President Obama and Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack hear from farmers about drought, August 2012</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Heidemann_000075_168298_513033_4578_(35953440493).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Heidemann_000075_168298_513033_4578_%2835953440493%29.jpg/220px-Heidemann_000075_168298_513033_4578_%2835953440493%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Heidemann_000075_168298_513033_4578_%2835953440493%29.jpg/330px-Heidemann_000075_168298_513033_4578_%2835953440493%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Heidemann_000075_168298_513033_4578_%2835953440493%29.jpg/440px-Heidemann_000075_168298_513033_4578_%2835953440493%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1920" data-file-height="1282" /></a><figcaption>Solar installation, Des Moines</figcaption></figure> <p>"Flooding occasionally threatens both navigation and riverfront communities, and greater river flows could increase these threats.

Longer frost-free growing seasons and higher concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide would increase yields for many crops during an average year. But increasingly hot summers are likely to reduce yields of <a href="/wiki/Corn" class="mw-redirect" title="Corn">corn</a> and possibly <a href="/wiki/Soybeans" class="mw-redirect" title="Soybeans">soybeans</a>. Higher temperatures are also likely to reduce livestock productivity, because heat stress disrupts the animals' metabolism. Seventy years from now, Iowa is likely to have 10 to 20 more days per year with temperatures above 95°F than it has today.
