Iowa Heat Alert with RAGBRAI Safety | Des Moines News

Iowa’s facing brutal heat Monday, with heat index values hitting 100 to over 105 degrees across most of the state—especially dangerous in northwest Iowa, where an extreme heat warning is in effect. But relief is on the way: a storm front late Monday afternoon will slash humidity and cool things down by Tuesday. For RAGBRAI riders heading toward Guthrie Center, this heat is serious—severe weather remains a risk, so know where to find shelter, especially from lightning. Emergency shelters are set up at the main campground, county fairgrounds, and near vendor zones. Stay safe and stay prepared.
