June continued the trend for cooler-than-average temperatures in the area.
Fargo-Moorhead finished last month 2.4 degrees below the long-term average, making it our seventh consecutive month with cooler-than-normal weather. Finishing only a couple of degrees below the long-term average was quite the recovery as the first 10 days of June averaged a remarkable 10 degrees below normal, including five straight days with highs in the 50s. In no other June since records have been kept has Fargo-Moorhead had such a cool streak. Fortunately, the rest of the month was quite mild, erasing much of the month's temperature deficit.
Although many areas south of Fargo-Moorhead had a very wet June, 2.93 inches of rain fell in F-M for the month, which was 0.58 inches below average. That was our third consecutive month with below-normal precipitation.
