... MOST AREAS REMAIN WARMER & DRIER THAN NORMAL...
... BENEFICIAL RAINS MAKE A DENT IN SOUTH CAROLINA DROUGHT ...
With temperature averages above normal and rainfall generally in deficit territory for most stations, summer began to take hold through the month although some pleasantly cool weather persisted periodically at the coastal areas as backdoor cold front dropped down the coastal plain. Not much of a difference between conditions in May and June other than warmer temps and more rain for the parched lower portions of our area in South Carolina. While much of our three-state region experienced below normal rainfall, deficits weren't as glaring as in May. The increase in summer thunderstorm activity actually gave excess rainfall amounts at some spots.

OF INTEREST: SNOW IN BEUNOS AIRES [reported 7/10/07] Thousands of Argentines cheered in the streets of Buenos Aires on Monday as the capital saw a rare snowfall, the first of its kind since 1918. Wet snow fell for hours in the Argentine capital without accumulating on Monday, after freezing air from Antarctica collided with a moisture-laden low pressure system that blanketed higher elevations in western and central Argentina with snow. Argentina's National Weather Service said it was the first major snow in Buenos Aires since June 22, 1918, though sleet or freezing rain have been periodically reported in decades since. The snow followed a bitter cold snap in late May that saw subfreezing temperatures, the coldest in 40 years in Buenos Aires. That cold wave contributed to an energy crisis and 23 deaths from exposure. Two more exposure deaths were reported on Monday. "Despite all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen in snow in Buenos Aires," said Juana Benitez, an 82-year-old who joined children celebratng in the streets. One man stripped to his shorts to welcome the snow. Some fender benders were reported on slick suburban streets. The storm struck on Argentina's Independence Day holiday, adding to a festive air and prompted radio stations to play an old tango song inspired by the 1918 snowfall, "What a night!" "This is the kind of weather phenomenon that comes along every 100 years," forecaster Hector Ciappesoni told La Nacion newspaper. "It is very difficult to predict."

Annandale - Lowell sends these additional notes: " June was very warm and for the most part dry (only 0.09 inches of rain occurred from June 14th to 26th a 12 day period). June's mean temperature (75.1°F) tied for the fifth hottest on record with a +1.60°F departure from average. The 2.11 inches of rain was a deficit of -1.88 inches and was the driest June since 1999 and tied for the 6th driest in the past 27 years. June had 9 days with 90°F or above temperatures. June's highest maximum temperature was 96° F on June 8th and 19th which was the highest June monthly maximum since June 2002. The June record is 97°F set in the years 1988 and 1994. The 32°F daily temperature range on the 7th was the greatest daily range for June since 1999. The 27 year record is 34°F set in 1980 and 1994. The maximum gust was 29 mph from the west on the 21st at 1814; the average maximum wind gust recorded for June is 32 mph. The minimum barometric reading for the month was 29.43 inches on the 3rd which was the result of the remains of tropical storm Barry and was the lowest pressure recorded in June since 2003 when it was 29.38 inches. The record low pressure for June is 29.26 recorded in 1972 during the remains of Hurricane Agnes. June DAILY Records Tied or Broken- (27-Years of records): 2 HIGH maximum temperature: 8, 27; 2 LOW maximum temperature: 14, 15; 1 HIGH minimum temperature: 19; 2 HIGH range temperature: 7 & 21; 1 LOW range temperature: 29. " [ + - ]
Arlington from NWS in Sterling - " JUNE WAS VERY DRY WITH TOTAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTING TO ONLY 1.38 INCHES. THIS IS 1.75 INCHES BELOW THE NORMAL PRECIPITATION TOTAL OF 3.13 INCHES. JUNE OF 2007 TURNED OUT TO BE THE NINTH DRIEST ON RECORD. JUNE WAS ALSO ON THE WARM SIDE AS WELL WITH THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE TOPPING OFF AT 76.1 DEGREES. THIS IS 1.6 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. [ + - ]
Bridgewater - " The temperature was 1.4 degrees above normal while the rainfall was 1.2 inches above normal. There were 5 thunderstorms, most coming during the latter part of the month. The first part of June was fairly dry with thunderstorms skipping all around us. In the last week, we had 4 beautiful rains coming in a period of three days. We went from dust to mud.The rain was much needed. The precipitation for the year is now 16.32 inches which is about an inch below normal. " - [ + + ] - report from Clayton
Centreville - " Except for replacing the numbers with updated values, June could just as well be a rewrite of May. The average temperature for the month was 3.8° warmer than normal with no records broken and drier than usual once again while only receiving just shy of 60% of our monthly water rations. A two-way tie by the 95's was the high point of the month, but that monthly maximum was still 5° shy of the 100° set in 1965. The monthly average temperature for June was 74.1°; 3.8° above the 70.3° established average. Two mornings set another tie as well. This time it was at the 54° mark for the lows of the month. The seventh and eighth had the distinction of being the two consecutive days in June where a monthly minimum occurred followed by the monthly maximum. An average low of 63.4° for June was 6.2ø warmer than the 58.1° average statistical low and was the second highest low temperature deviation since January. The lack of sufficient rainfall has once again contributed to our annual deficit that is now standing at 7.02". With 1.96"of precipitation in the record books for June, we received just 58% of our 3.39" monthly average with the greatest amount of 0.60" falling on June 28th. To date here in C entreville, we indicate a yearly accumulation of 14.53", or 68% of our 21.53" expected amount. " - [ + - ] - report from Paul
Chantilly - Russ Topping sends these notes: " June temperatures averaged 1.6 degrees above normal. The average maximum was normal, but the nights were warm and the average minimum was 3.1 degrees above normal. Rainfall was 1.79" below average and was provided mainly by summer thunderstorms on the 13th and 28th. The remnants of Tropical Storm Barry gave us 0.45" of rain on the 3rd, but we're still 6.67" below what our average annual precipitation should be at this point. *Please note, anemometer is currently partially obstructed " - [ + - ]
Dulles - from NWS in Sterling " In its monthly summary, Washington Dulles reported a tornado on the 13th. [ + - ]
Falls Church - Windie adds these comments: " June 2007 was pretty much average in both temperature and rainfall for me. The storms on the 13th brought over an inch of rain for the day. " - [ +/- +/- ]
Hampton - Dave sends these additional notes: " June had several periods of hot and humid wx that would last two or three days and then be punctuated with delightful wx. A cool period near mid- month produced highs only near 70 for two days (14-15). Records for Hampton: High 97 on the 8th and 18th. " - [ + - ]
Herndon - Randy sends these notes: " JUNE WAS ANOTHER FAIRLY WARM AND DRY MONTH. THE TEMPERATURES SAW A ROLLER COASTER RIDE WITH PERIODS OF 90 DEGREE PLUS TEMPS FOLLOWED BY TEMPS LOW TO MID-70S. OVERALL WE ENDED THE MONTH 1.2 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH TEMPS EXCEEDING 90 DEGREES SIX TIMES. LIKE THE TEMPERATURES, THE PRECIPITATION OCCURRED SPORADICALLY THROUGH THE MONTH . ALTHOUGH THERE WERE MANY DAYS WITH THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA; MOST OF THEM WENT AROUND MY SITE. I DID RECORD THREE DAYS WITH THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY: ON THE 12TH & 13TH AND THEN AGAIN ON THE 28TH. THESE THREE DAYS PROVIDED 75% OF THE RAIN THAT FELL. THE MOST SEVERE WEATHER OCCURRED ON THE 13TH WHEN TWO PERIODS OF THUNDER STORMS ROLLED THROUGH THE AREA; ONE IN THE MID-AFTERNOON AND ONE DURING THE EVENING. FAIRLY GOOD SIZE HAIL FELL DURING THE AFTERNOON EVENT. EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT AT HOME DURING THIS EVENT, NEIGHBORS REPORTED THAT HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF NICKELS FELL FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN I DID GET HOME, A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER THE EVENT, I DID FIND TWO POCKETS OF HAIL STONES SURVIVING IN PROTECTED AREAS OF MY BACK YARD THAT STILL HAVE SEVERAL STONES MEASURED AT 3/8 INCH. MANY OF MY HOSTA PLANTS SHOWED SIGNIFICANT HAIL DAMAGE TO THEIR LARGE LEAVES. SEVERAL WERE FAIRLY WELL SHREDDED. THE MONTH ENDED UP AT 2.18 INCHES OF RAIN WHICH WAS AGAIN OVER 3 INCHES BELOW NORMAL AND IT WAS THE SECOND DRYEST JUNE IN THE PAST 14 YEARS OF MEASUREMENT AT THIS SITE. THE TOTAL PRECIPITATION FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2007 IS NOW ONLY 15.41 INCHES; OVER 7.5 INCHES BELOW NORMAL AND THE DRYEST FIRST HALF YEAR I HAVE EVER RECORDED AT MY HERNDON SITE. LET'S HOPE THAT JULY BRINGS MORE RAIN AS THE GRASS AND FLOWERS ARE ALL VERY DRY AND THE WATER BILL IS GOING TO BE HIGH KEEPING THEM FROM DYING. " - [ + - ]
Ladysmith - Danny sends these additional notes: " Temperature and precipitation were both very close to normal for June. A nice way to ease into summer. " - [ + - ]

Concord - Tom sends these notes: JUNE CONTINUED THE YEARLY TREND OF BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL FOR THE IMMEDIATE AREA. ONLY THE MONTH OF APRIL HAS SEEN RAINFALL ABOVE AVERAGE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. I CURRENTLY AM REGISTERING A YEARLY DEFICIENT OF NEARLY 7" OF PRECIPITATION LOCALLY ALTHOUGH ISOLATED STORMS NEARBY DEPOSITED 4-6" OF RAIN WITHIN A COUPLE MILES OF MY STATION ON 3-4 DAYS IN JUNE ALONE, ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN AREAS OF CABARRUS COUNTY. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE 18 DAYS WITH TEMPERATURES OVER 90 DEGREES, WE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL CLOUDY COOL DAYS WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW 70S WHICH HELP OFFSET THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH WHICH WAS ONLY 0.3 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. MODERATE DROUGHT CONDITIONS ARE STILL IN PLACE. " - [ + - ]
