Start Of Meteorological Summer

Today is the first day of meteorological summer and the start of June.

Summary for May here at house: There were two precipitation events: 0.23" on the 12/13th and 0.05" on the 20th - total for month only 0.28".

Even this low total amounted to the third wettest May here in last 20 years.


May precipitation from ALERT is shown above - fewer than 10 sites had more than half an inch. At least two sites recorded precipitation less than 0.04".

However, rainfall at the airport was the outlier amount with 1.22" - second wettest day in May during period of records (amount was about 600 % of normal) occurred when a localized thunderstorm produced most of this and also wind gusts over 50 mph.

Here at house there were seven days with morning low in the 40s.

Rainfall in June here is highly variable - five months with 0.00" but also two months coming in at over 2.00".
