Here is a look back at another cool and wet June:
PDX Rainfall: 4.10" / 2nd wettest in history, behind June of 2012, 4.27" Normal for month is 1.70"
Average High: 69.7 degrees / 3.8 degrees below normal
Average Low: 52.7 degrees / slightly below normal, -0.9 degrees
Mean Temp: 61.2 degrees / 2.4 degrees below normal
12 days had partly or sunny skies / 14 is average
18 days were overcast / 16 is average
______________________________________________
Does it surprise you that June had only 2 more cloudy days than average? This is a reminder that June is not a sunny month for us. With that said, the high temperatures were cooler than normal and of course total rainfall was nearly a record. 16 days had measurable rainfall, normal is 10 days.
The updated summer outlook calls for July - September to see near normal temperatures. The forecast for the 3 month period continues to call for below normal rainfall, which would mean extremely dry conditions.
