THE 1.87 INCHES OF RAINFALL IS THE SECOND DRIEST JUNE IN THE LAST 15 YEARS ...WITH ONLY THE 1.38 INCHES OF RAINFALL IN JUNE 2007 BEING DRIER. ALMOST HALF OF THE MONTH`S RAINFALL WAS RECORDED IN A THUNDERSTORM ON THE 28TH. " - [ + - ] - Notes from NWS Sterling, VA
Bridgewater - " This has been the hottest June by far in at least 49 years which is the extent of my record keeping. It is also the driest June since 1990. A strong thunderstorm occurred on 22nd with some very strong winds. A lot of trees were blown down. The fire and rescue people were kept busy. It is getting very dry. The grass is turning brown, and the gardens are drying up. I'm trying to water some of the small stuff in the garden, but water here is very expensive. At the present time, there is no rain in sight. Precipitation for the year is 3.69 inches below normal. " - [ + - ] - Comments from Clayton
Centreville - Paul adds: " June 5th was an average day of averages; AV maxT-86° AV minT-67°. On the 6th we managed our low barometric pressure for June at 29.57", and on the 8th - our monthly minimum temperature of 54° and high barometric pressure of 30.19". On the 28th there was 0.77" of rain recorded, and a wind gust of 39mph, both monthly maximums. On other days there was no significant weather. - [ + - ]
Chantilly - Russ notes: " June temperatures averaged 5.1° above normal and precipitation was 2.15" below normal. It was another record month. Most notable was the mean temperature of 76.7°, which was the highest ever recorded in June. A record high maximum temperature occurred on the 24th (96.8°). A record high minimum temperature occurred on the 3rd (68.6°), 24th (73.3°), 28th (73.3° tie), and 29th (74°). A thunderstorm occurred on the 3rd, 14th (0.55" rainfall), 27th and 28th (1.01" rainfall). When it did rain in June, it rained hard and for less than an hour, and that provided little relief to lawns and plants. We are now in a moderate drought. *Please note, anemometer is currently partially obstructed from the Southeast " - [ + - ]
Dulles - from NWS Sterling (KLWX): " HEAT WAS THE MAIN CLIMATE STORY IN JUNE 2010 AT DULLES. THE AVERAGE MONTHLY TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH WAS 76.8F...WHICH WAS THE WARMEST JUNE ON RECORD...BREAKING THE PREVIOUS WARMEST JUNE RECORD OF 76.1 DEGREES SET IN JUNE 1994. THERE WERE 12 DAYS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES OF 90 DEGREES OR HIGHER. THIS WAS THE FOURTH JUNE ON RECORD OF AT LEAST 12 DAYS OF 90 DEGREES OR HIGHER AND THE FIRST SINCE 1994 WHEN THERE WERE FOURTEEN SUCH DAYS. THE JUNE 2010 MONTHLY AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WAS CLOSE TO WHAT IS MORE TYPICAL OF JULY. EVERY MONTH SINCE MARCH 2010 HAS RANKED IN THE TOP-THREE WARMEST OF ALL-TIME AT DULLES WITH MARCH AND JUNE BOTH BEING THE WARMEST ON RECORD. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 97 DEGREES ON THE 24TH BROKE THE OLD DAILY RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 95 DEGREES SET IN 1966 WHILE THE HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 89 DEGREES ON THE 3RD TIED THE RECORD SET IN 1980. A TOTAL OF SIX DAILY RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WERE EITHER BROKEN OR TIED...THREE NEW RECORDS WERE SET ON THE 3RD, 24TH AND 29TH WHILE THREE WERE TIED ON THE 1ST...20TH AND 28TH. JUNE WAS ALSO DRIER THAN NORMAL WITH DULLES ONLY RECEIVING LESS THAN A THIRD OF THE NORMAL RAINFALL FOR THE MONTH. THE 1.29 INCHES OF RAINFALL IS FOURTH DRIEST JUNE ON RECORD AND THE DRIEST JUNE SINCE 1988 WHEN ONLY 0.52 INCHES OF RAINFALL WAS MEASURED DURING THE ENTIRE MONTH. ABOUT HALF OF THE MONTH`S RAINFALL WAS RECORDED WITH A THUNDERSTORM ON THE 28TH. " - [ + - ]
Glen Allen - Lowell Koontz reports: " Heat and drought the star players !! June was hotter than average and 4.8°F warmer than June last year as the monthly mean temperature was 80.1°F, a +7.8°F departure, and was much below average in precipitation (when compared to Ashland, Virginia records). The average maximum temperature for the month was 90.8°F, which is extremely rare for June. The 1.11 inches of precipitation for June was a -2.37 inch departure when compared to the Ashland, VA average. The last 14 days of June had temperatures of 90°F or hotter except for one day and this period had only 0.04 inches rain. The maximum precipitation recorded in a day was only 0.49 inches on the 3rd and thunder was heard on six days during June but many of the storms missed our area. The maximum temperature for June was 100°F on the 27th and 28th and there were 20 days that the maximum temperature was 90°F or above. The highest minimum temperature recorded here for the month was 76°F on June 28th. There were also 18 days that the minimum temperature was 70°F or higher. The Richmond International Airport reported the mean temperature for June was 81°F, which was a new 113-year record, the hottest June on record. This breaks the old record of 79.2°F set in 1943 and was and +8.7°F departure from average. It was also interesting that the Richmond International Airport had three days with a 102°F reading. Only three days in the last 113 years has the Airport had a higher temperature in June and previous to this year it had never had more than one 102°F reading. The 102°F maximum temperature record at Richmond International Airport was also the highest temperature recorded there since August 8, 2007 when they recorded a maximum temperature of 104°F. The lowest dew point temperature for June was 38.1°F on the 8th at 1106 and the highest dew point was 76.9°F on the 13th at 1518. The average daily temperature range was 21.4°F almost +2.5°F more than last June due to the arid conditions and because of many days with clear skies. Also the lowest daily temperature range for June was 13°F. The Spring Season at the Richmond International Airport was the warmest spring in their 113 years of records. Let's hope this isn't the hottest summer on record! There were 20 days that the maximum temperature was 90°F or above. There were also 18 days that the minimum temperature was 70°F or higher. The average maximum temperature for the month was 90.8°F, which is extremely rare for June. It was also the hottest spring in the last 113-years at the Richmond International Airport! " - [ + - ]
Herndon - Randy adds: " June was above normal for temperature and well below normal for precipitation. The temperatures ranged between a high of 96 and a low of 51. The average high and low were about 4 and 3 degrees above normal, respectively. We recorded 13 days where the max temp was 90 or higher, most in the last two weeks of the month. On the precipitation side, the month was 3.33" below normal with only 1.66" measured and 1.04" of this occurred during a short-lived, but heavy thunderstorm that occurred on the 28th. Otherwise we only had multiple very light rain events occurring off and on during the month. My water bill will be high this month, as I had to water the gardens frequently to keep them from drying out. We have now had 17.58" precipitation for the year which is over 5" below normal; the last four months have all been below normal. Is this the start of another very dry summer? " - [ + - ]
Ladysmith - Danny adds: " June was the warmest month recorded at this location since August 2006, with temperatures nearly 5 degrees above normal and an average daily high above 90. Lawns turned brown as most thunderstorm complexes would veer to the south or dissipate before reaching Ladysmith. " - [ + - ]
