SUMMARY OF
CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA
JUNE 2005
...TEMPERATURES WARM TO NEAR & ABOVE NORMAL IN VIRGINIA
WITH MIXED DEPARTURES FOR THE CAROLINAS...
...THUNDERSTORMS PROVIDE EXCESS RAINFALL FOR MANY SITES
WHILE "THUNDERLESS" SITES REMAIN DRY...
Of particular note, thunderstorm activity provided many of us with excess rainfall while
many stations- just "down the road" from these storms - had very dry conditions without the storms.
There were simply no major weather systems providing widespread moisture.
The north central portions of North Carolina were left dry with only 1.5" at Raleigh-Durham International Airport and
just over 2" from Bob Woods Raleigh site north to Merriell Jay's Roxboro with
and just over 2½"
Lumberton lived up to expectations and continued to be the Tarheel state's dry spot
with only 2" total rainfall. And not far away Charlotte had nearly 8¾".
In Virginia, Jim Fentress in the
Fox Hall section of Norfolk (NOR) just to the WSW of ORF (2 miles) recorded over 7" of
rain for the same June that Norfolk International Airport only measured 4½".
Southeastern Virginia rainfall totals were above normal in comparison to lesser amounts
of the rest of the Old Dominion state, particularly in northwestern and central Virginia.
Across Virginia, noticeably warmer temps observed than those of the past three months.
Northern and Central Virginia temperature averages were considerably above normal.
For the Carolinas, temperature averages were held down by the increase in rainfall.
Asheville reported over 10" of rain and large totals were noted along the coastal plain
at Morehead city, New Bern, and Wilmington. Even Greenville-Spartanburg got in on the beneficial rains
with nearly 10", 2¾" coming on the 28th alone and, not to be outdone, usually dry Florence
had over 8" of rain! Totals for coastal South Carolina were an inch below normal
at North Myrtle Beach and Charleston.

NOAA COASTAL SERVICES CENTER UPGRADES POPULAR HURRICANE MAPPING TOOL
Kevin Shaw from ACON - DC/MD sends along this interesting resource. He adds, "
The NOAA Coastal Services Center recently launched a revised version of
their Historical Hurricane Tracks tool, an interactive mapping
application allowing the public to search and display more than
150 years of historical tropical cyclone data. Among other things new
for 2005, a "Query Expediter" tool has been added to allow Web
developers to build customized Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
strings that can be embedded into Web sites. This allows for one-click
access and display of one or more historical hurricane tracks by
allowing users to bypass the existing query structure offered by the
application." Visit the site at http://hurricane.csc.noaa.gov/hurricanes/.

"
June was warm and for the most part dry ( only 0.09 inches of rain occurred
from June 14th to 28th a 15 day period) except for the 29th and 30th.
June's mean average temperature (75.4°) was the third hottest on record
with a +1.9° departure from average. The 3.29 inches of rain was a little
below average but without the rainfall of the 29th, June would have been
the fourth driest on record in the last 25 years. The most rain in a
calendar day was 1.68 inches on the 29th when 0.53 inches of rain fell in
only 5 minutes.
This was the most rainfall in a 5 minute period since June 15, 1998 when
0.56 inches rain fell in 5 minutes. A total of 1.50 inches was recorded
in one hour in this same storm. This sets a new record for the most
rain to occur in one hour's time in the month of June since rainfall
intensity records were started in 1991. The old record was 1.41 inches on
June 8, 1992.
It was the driest June since 2002. June was also the clearest June
since 2002.
June had 13 days with 90° or above temperatures which ties the old
25 year record set in 1994. June's highest maximum temperature was 95°
on June 28th which was the highest June monthly maximum since June
2002.
June's average temperature range was only 20.7° and highest daily
temperature range since 2002.
The maximum gust of 26 mph from the west on the 16th at 1720
was the lowest maximum wind gust recorded for June since 1999.
The maximum barometric reading for the month was
30.30 inches on the 20th which was the highest pressure
recorded in June since 2002.
There were 10 daily records set!
June DAILY Records Tied or Broken (25-Years of records):

- Report from NWS LWX:
"
THIS YEAR FEATURED A MUCH WARMER JUNE THAN LAST YEAR...BUT IT STILL WAS
ONLY SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. AFTER A PARTICULARLY COOL MAY...TEMPERATURES
QUICKLY JUMPED INTO THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK. A
COLD FRONT DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH BROUGHT SOME RELIEF TO THE
AREA...WITH TEMPERATURES ONLY MAKING IT INTO THE UPPER 70S FOR A FEW DAYS.
THE WARMER TEMPERATURES WERE ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY A LACK OF RAINFALL
IN JUNE. MOST OF THE MONTH WAS VERY DRY WITH SIX DAYS REPORTING LESS
THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH OF RAIN. ONLY TWO DAYS WHEN AROUND AN INCH
OF RAIN OCCURRED BROUGHT THE MONTHLY PRECIPITATION TO JUST SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL.
NO RECORDS FOR TEMPERATURE OR PRECIPITATION WERE TIED OR BROKEN IN
JUNE 2005.

Bridgewater

The temperature for June was 1.7 degrees above normal, and the
rainfall was 2.3 inches below normal. The precipitation for the year is now
4.92 inches below normal. In the last 20 days of the month only .22 inches
of precipitation fell. The lawns in Bridgewater are very brown. At the
present time, the chances of a good soaking rain are rather slim. Nearby
places have had thunderstorms, but not here in Bridgewater.
" - [ + - ]
Centreville
- "
After a cooler than normal month of May we were left wondering how long the
extended spring would continue. Three days into June and our question was
answered as a warm front spread itself over the area and daytime highs
jumped from 64° on the third to 90° on the fifth. Summer has arrived!
The maximum high for June was 96ø on the eighth and only four other days in the month achieved 90ø or better. The average monthly temperature of 74.2ø was 3.9ø above the statistical 70.3ø and registered nearly fourteen degrees over the average of last month when a change of eight degrees from May to June is considered normal.
Night time lows returned to the above average readings and I have conceded
that the mid-year deep freeze of May was just a short cool period with lousy
chances for snowball longevity. My parka and mukluks are now safely
stowed away in an obscure closet corner. Our average daily low of 64.6°
for June was 6.5° warmer than the 58.1° normal average low.
Precipitation amounts took a slight respite from the past three months of
above average accumulations. Two-thirds, or 2.27" of the 3.39" normal
amount fell for the month with a quarter of our total accumulation
occurring on June 29th. While our monthly rainfall average was
significantly below normal, we are still running a surplus of 0.56"
for the year, a slight but reasonable margin to try to keep building on.

A warm, very dry month. June temperatures were 2.1 degrees above normal
and precipitation was 2.56" below average. We had thunderstorms pass nearby
on the 6th, 7th, 9th, 22nd, 28th and one close enough to give us some
much needed rain on the 29th. The high temperature of 90.9 set a new
daily high record on the 6th.

My average MAX temperature was 0.4 degrees ABOVE

The monthly temp average was 6/10ths degree BELOW normal while rainfall was 127% of
the norm or +1.05" Good rains from the 26th through the 29th pushed the monthly
totals to above normal in an otherwise fairly dry month.
As the station is located in dense gardens, the vegetation
tends to keep summer temps a degree or two cooler than most surrounding weather observation
stations. Too, humidity levels tend to be higher.

NOTE: Based on a construction update on my new house, I should be at this
location through the end of August. Therefore, my last report for RGL will
be at the end of August.
June featured a paltry 1.01" of total precipitation and a stretch
of over two weeks without any measurable rainfall. It would stand to reason
that I would have a new lawn installed on May 31. ;) May's absence of warm
temperatures was quickly forgotten as temperatures soared into the 90s on 12
occasions during the month.

Very dry spells during June with heavy rainfall on the 6/7. Received just

ended with very dry conditions from Mebane to the North and East over
northern Alamance County. Some notable events:
6/7/05 - 2:20pm Heat index of 105, was broken by first storm with .08" of rain.
6/7/05 - 6:35pm Second thunderstorm gave 2.03" of rain in 1.5 hours.

Dry conditions continue with the year to date precipitation almost 6"

(+0.8 deg). There was one widespread severe weather event during the
afternoon and evening on June 7th. Most of the severe weather was
limited to strong straight-line winds from intense thunderstorms.

Raleigh
- NWS Raleigh (RAH) reports:
"
Generally warm and wet conditions were prevalent during the first week of
June 2005. These wet conditions persisted throughout the month over the
mountains, southern Piedmont, and at the coast. The exception was over the
north central part of the state where there was a decidedly turn to
drier weather during the middle to latter part of the month. Numerous
locations in this region did not receive measurable rainfall for two
consecutive weeks. June rainfall averaged above normal over the mountains,
foothills, southern Piedmont, and coast with dry conditions across the
northern Piedmont and the northern coastal plain. Overall, temperatures
during June 2005 returned to above normal levels after a generally
cooler than normal April.
