June total rainfall ends up at 4.27" at PDX. The total becomes the new monthly record for Portland International Airport. The total is 2nd most all time dating back to 1871. The record for all reporting stations is 5.38" back in 1888. The daily high temperature average was 68.8 degrees, nearly 4 degrees below normal. Despite, the chill, the monthly temperature averages did not place in the top five for coolest Junes. It is also interesting to note that June only had one really wet day, following the record wet start that ended June 10th. The final 20 days, were mostly dry and averaged on the cool side, not enough to impress the record book.
July is typically Portland's driest month. The average rainfall is .72 inches. July averages only four days with measurable rainfall. One day down, three to go!
Cool July Outlook, May Be A Joke
