Iowa and Its Climate

Four photos of the seasons: three students walking past the bell in the spring; a group of students sitting on lawn in the summer; students walking on sidewalk in the fall; students in coats holding snow that spells Luther

Iowa is located in the American Midwest, a region of the country that features four seasonal changes. Climatic conditions vary widely from season to season.

Iowans appreciate four distinct seasons—lush, green springs; warm, breezy summers; crisp, colorful autumns; and bright, snowy winters.
