PDX SETS JUNE RAINFALL RECORD

By Rod Hill on 2010-06-16


Yesterday's rainfall of .38" gives PDX 4.21" for the month of June. The amount is the all-time wettest June for PDX.  The old record was 4.06" back in 1984.  The records date back to 1941.  The all-time Portland record for all locations is 5.38" back in 1888.  We continue to set the record for the wettest May and June at PDX.  As of this morning, Portland has received 8.96" since May 1st. The 2-month average is 3.97 inches.  Obviously we are well over 200% of normal!  By the way Portland's Tuesday high temperature of 57 degrees sets a daily record for the coldest high temperature.  McMinnville and Hillsboro also had daily low-high records.  McMinnville's high temperature was 58 and Hillsboro had a high of 57.

COME ON JULY!!!
