Notice A Difference





FAST FACTS ABOUT OUR JUNE WEATHER:
In the last five days we've had a huge difference in our weather. Allow me to show you.

  • From June 1st through June 11th, our average daytime high temperature was 91.8°...contrast this to the last 5 days where we have averaged 82.4°. 

  • While the past 5 days have felt 'cool', our historical average high is 84° this time of year, so that is just below normal. 

  • Our average so far for June 2011 in the daytime high temps is a balmy 88.9°, the record through 16 days is from 1925 where we averaged 90.7°. 

  • The 2+ inches of rainfall recorded yesterday set a new daily record for that date. 


FROM THE 'DID YOU KNOW' DEPARTMENT:

  • In 1998, we had recorded more than 13" so far through the first 16 days of June?
