A very average June for both temperature and
precipitation
In contrast to the last few years when there were lots of
June days at or above 30°C (8 in 2016, 3 in 2017, and 4 in 2018), there was only
one day this past June when it just barely made it to 30°C. Despite this, there were enough warm days to
put the overall temperature at almost exactly at the average (well 0.04 degrees
above, but let’s say that rounds off to 0.0). The also marks the first month this year that
was not at least a little bit below average.
There was also a pretty regular series of moderate storms
that came through during the month to keep the precipitation within the average
range, although the total precipitation of 73.6 mm was below the long term
1981-2010 average of 82.4 mm.
For the first half of the year, the total precipitation we
have seen of 486.8 mm is not that far above what we would expect for the
halfway mark of 416.1 mm.
Summary for June 2019:
Maximum Temperature 30.0°C
