The June outlook from the National Weather Service continues to hold a wetter than normal weather pattern in place, along with an absence of hot weather. While Portland temperatures may average near normal, our rainy start is likely to continue. Total rainfall at PDX through June 5th is .81 inches, a total more than twice the average number through the period. Normal June rainfall for the 30 day period is 1.63 inches. I expect Portland to top two inches for the month.
The graphic shows the final 2-weeks of the month and highlights cooler than normal temps over the Northwest and above normal rainfall.
The Euro weather model continues to show hints of possible 90 degree weather, but other weather outlooks disagree. My message is to expect more 70s than 80s this month and up to 3-90 degree days at most before July 1st.

No 80s before June - a bit rare
