[June 20, 2013]  CHAMPAIGN -- Do you need to know how hot it was yesterday in Iowa or how cold it was in Wisconsin this morning? Maps of maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation, snowfall, and growing degree days are now available for mobile devices from the Midwestern Regional Climate Center at the Prairie Research Institute, University of Illinois.

The Midwestern Regional Climate Center is converting its extensive suite of maps and climate data products to a format suitable for mobile devices. The first of the products available is from the popular Midwest Climate Watch page. Maps of temperature, precipitation, snowfall and growing degree days are available for the nine-state Midwest region for the current day and the previous seven days.

Users can access the mobile Web pages from http://mrcc.isws.illinois.edu/ by selecting the "Mobile Maps" button on the home page or by going to http://mrcc.isws.illinois.edu/m/. The list of available products will continue to expand in the coming weeks, so users should check back to see what has been added.
