June brought wet weather across much of North Carolina, as well as a mid-month break from the heat. It also saw our office get out and about to a number of weather stations and events across the state and even across the country.

A Wet Month in the North and West
After a dry May in which organized precipitation stayed off to our west, June saw a return of regular rainfall to North Carolina. The preliminary average statewide precipitation of 7.12 inches ranks as our 8th-wettest June on record since 1895.

Most weather stations had between 10 and 15 days with measurable precipitation last month, including 16 such days in Greensboro -- the third-most days with rainfall there in any June out of the past 117 years. That's compared to just 5 to 10 days with precipitation at most sites in May.
