Virginia:
Arlington - " THE BIG CLIMATE STORY THIS JUNE IN WASHINGTON DC WAS THE HEAT... ESPECIALLY DURING THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. TEMPERATURES AVERAGED ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT MONTH. ALTHOUGH THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WAS NEARLY TWO DEGREES OFF THE RECORD PACE OF THE WARMEST JUNE IN 2010...JUNE 2011 STILL RANKED AS THE 4TH WARMEST JUNE SINCE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1871. THERE WERE TEN 90-DEGREE DAYS THIS JUNE...CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN THE 18 90-DEGREE DAYS RECORDED IN JUNE 2010. SEVEN OF THE TEN 90-DEGREE DAYS THIS JUNE OCCURRED IN THE FIRST 12 DAYS OF THE MONTH...THE MOST NUMBER OF 90-DEGREE DAYS FOR THIS 12-DAY PERIOD SINCE 1984. NUMEROUS DAILY TEMPERATURE RECORDS WERE TIED OR BROKEN THIS MONTH... THE MAX TEMPERATURE OF 98F ON THE 1ST BROKE THE DAILY MAX TEMPERATURE RECORD OF 97F THAT STOOD FOR 116 YEARS SINCE 1895. ON THE SAME DAY...THE MIN TEMPERATURE OF 76F ALSO SET A DAILY HIGH MIN TEMPERATURE RECORD...BREAKING THE OLD RECORD OF 74F IN 1895.
