Des Moines Weather in May
United States · late spring in Northern Hemisphere
Des Moines in central Iowa has a classic humid continental climate at the heart of tornado alley. The flat prairie surrounding the city means no terrain barriers to weather from any direction — cold Arctic blasts, warm Gulf moisture, and severe spring thunderstorms all arrive unimpeded. The Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers provide some local flooding influence.
One of the most popular travel months worldwide for good reason.
