Summer begins Monday morning at 4:28 a.m.. The first two days of summer look pretty nice, but the National Weather Service outlook calls for a stretch of cool days to finish June. The real bad news is the following: The July monthly outlook calls for below normal temperatures. Let's hope the projection is incorrect! Here are a few headlines from our spring season, from April 1st to June 19th:
1. Number of mostly sunny days morning & afternoon: 4
2. Days with rain: 59 of 80 days / 26 more wet days than normal
3. Days of 70 degrees or higher: 12
4. Rain Total: 11.92" / normal is 6.14" (this spring is nearly 200% of normal!)
Enough fun facts for one day.
