THE THREE-MONTH APR-JUN RAIN TOTAL OF 18.13 INCHES IS THE EIGHTH HIGHEST APR-JUN TOTAL RECORDED SINCE CLIMATE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1871. " [ - + ]
Bridgewater - " The temperature was 1.9 degrees above normal while the precipitation was .59 inches below normal. The total precipitation for the year is now 18.12 inches which is slightly above normal. The first part of the month was wet while the last part was dry. Need more rain! " - [ + - ] - notes from Clayton
Centreville - " Another wet one for the Centreville folks and much of our surrounding area as well. April, May and June have produced welcome amounts of rainfall after a six-month dry spell beginning last October. These past three months are reminiscent of a similar period in 2008 when Mother Nature pulled off another drought-buster. Our rainfall for June amounted to 4.71" giving us a surplus of 1.32" over the 3.39" normal. Temperatures were fairly well behaved with the overall monthly average just 1° above the 70.3° June normal. A monthly maximum of 88° occurred on the 26th which was a far cry form the highest since 1964 of 100° and the high average of 79.6° managed to enter the log books below the 82.4° mark by 2.8°; still a bit chilly for those of the Centreville fun club. Fifty- five degrees was our recorded low temperature that happened on June 4th. Nowhere close to the record low of 36° set in 1977. At 63.0°, the June average low temperature worked out to be 4.9° over the 58.1° normal average low. Compare this to the 2009 annual average low temperature deviation of +3.9° and we came in 20% warmer in June for our nighttime temperatures. Seventy-nine percent of our final accumulation happened during the first two weeks of June with 13 days reporting some precipitation. A great boost to the 4.71" total monthly accumulation was measured on the 2nd when a drenching 1.10" was collected representing 28% of the final tally. However, the last ten days were relatively dry with only a quarter of an inch being added to the bucket. Overall, for June we finished 1.32" to the good or 139% over our normal 3.39", and for the year we stand at 3.46" on the plus side with hopes for happy sailing ahead. " - [ + + ] - additional notes from Paul
Chantilly - Russ sends these notes: June continued very wet. The total precipitation for the month was 7.12", which was 3.05" above normal. This has been the second highest April-June rainfall total on record and last year was our third wettest. Rainfall of 1.45" on the 10th broke the previous daily record. The average temperature was 0.2ø above normal. No temperature extremes were observed at my station, for June. It was unusual that we did not break the 90ømark all month. Thunderstorms rumbled through on the 1st, 9th, 10th, 13th, 18 & 20th. Dense fog was observed on the 3rd. *Please note, anemometer is currently partially obstructed from the Southeast " - [ + + ]
Dulles - from NWS Sterling (KLWX) come these notes: " AVERAGE MONTHLY TEMPERATURE THIS JUNE 2009 WAS ABOVE NORMAL. THERE WERE ONLY 2 DAYS OF 90F OR BETTER AT IAD...BELOW THE NORMAL OF FIVE DAYS. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 91F ON JUNE 2ND TIED THE DAILY RECORD HIGH THAT WAS SET BACK IN 2000. RAINFALL THIS JUNE 2009 WAS ABOVE NORMAL. THIS IS THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE MONTH WITH ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL THIS YEAR. IT IS THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW AT IAD WHEN THE APRIL-MAY-JUNE PERIOD HAS MEASURED THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS OF ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL. THE TOTAL RAINFALL OF 21.07 INCHES RECORDED DURING APRIL-JUNE 2009 IS THE SECOND HIGHEST 3-MONTH APRIL-JUNE RAINFALL RECORDED...SECOND ONLY TO THE 27.35 INCHES MEASURED IN APR-MAY-JUN 1972. INTERESTINGLY THE THIRD HIGHEST TOTAL APRIL-JUNE RAINFALL WAS SET LAST YEAR. THE 1.16 INCHES OF RAIN MEASURED ON THE 10TH BROKE THE PREVIOUS DAILY RAINFALL RECORD OF 0.83 INCHES SET IN 1963. " - [ + + ]
Falls Church - Erica notes: " This month saw both above average temperature and rainfall. A few days of gusty winds with my peak gust on the 20th of 37 mph. Severe storms on 2 days this month brought pea-sized hail. " - [ + + ]
Glen Allen - Lowell Koontz reports the following: " June was warmer and wetter than average as the monthly mean temperature was 75.3°F, a +3.0°F departure, and was above average in precipitation (when compared to Ashland, Virginia records). The 5.22 inches of precipitation for June was a + 1.74 inch departure when compared to the Ashland, VA average. The maximum precipitation recorded in a day was 2.13 inches on the 3rd and thunder was heard on four days during June. Measurable precipitation occurred on twelve days. The main news for June was the very severe thunderstorm of June 3rd. Time the rain started was at 1825 hours and the max wind gust was 28 mph at 1839 hours. The total precipitation was 2.13 inches observation from an 8 inch Weather Service gauge. The 4-inch plastic gauge read only 1.98 inches. (Hail bounced out of this gauge) Maximum one-hour rainfall was 2.13 inches between 1835-1930 hours and maximum five-minute intensity was 0.48 inches. Most of the hail was dime to penny size and the largest near nickel size and fell in a two to three minute period around 1850 +/- 5 minutes. Pictures of storm damage on (18-21) at http://www.glenallenweather.com/localphotos/18.htm. 1. Tree limbs fell on a car in Sugar Court, Glen Allen, Virginia. (See picture 18) 2. A nearby lightning strike damaged the transmitter on my wireless Davis Vantage Pro 2 between 1925 and 1930 hours and solar sensor and also hail damage to plants in family garden. 3. A picture of the hail of June 3rd that was dime to penny size and the largest was nickel size and fell in about two to three minute period around 1850 +/- 5 minutes. The smaller hail fell first was flattened like platelets but the latter hail was rounded and fell later and wasn't nearly as numerous as the platelets. (See picture 19) 4. Another neighbor reported that a lightning strike was observed to have split into two and hit two trees and the trees fell on a fence damaging it. 5. Lightning blew this hole in the neighbor's backyard. The energy of this lightning bolt followed his irrigation system to the control box and melted the control box to the wall. The key to the right is shown to give one an idea of the size of the hole. They were fortunate that the energy did not cause a fire but caused a total of more than $6000.00 damage (see 20 & 21). 6. The neighbor next door to the backyard lightning strike had her TV damaged. The maximum temperature for June was 93°F on the 20th and the lowest minimum was 57°F recorded on the 1st. The highest barometer recorded for the month was only 30.18 inches on the 16th and the lowest reading for June was 29.55 inches on the 29th. The 30.18 inch reading was a very low maximum pressure for the month and was the lowest maximum since 2001 when it was 30.13 and the next lowest was 30.10 in 1977 when compared to my old station in Annandale, VA.

After six consecutive months of below normal precipitation ending last year and beginning this year, we have now had three consecutive months of above normal rain. It rained on 15 of the 30 days in the month and the rainfall was scattered throughout the month.
