June by the Numbers

With it being the first day of July, I wanted to take a quick look back at the month of June. Overall, June was a very wet month for the state of Illinois, with 9.37 inches of rain across the state. For the Rockford area, we are actually right at the average mark, well just .01 inches away, sitting at 4.64 inches. The average precipitation for Rockford is 4.65 inches. High temperatures however, were almost two degrees cooler than the monthly average.  Rockford normally sees an average high of 81.1 degrees, but our actual average high was 79.2 degrees. However, the low temperature average was warmer, with an average low of 59.3 degrees, which is .80 degrees warmer.

The Climate Prediction Center shows that the area has a better chance of having above normal precipitation and below normal temperatures overall, but at least we get a few days break from the rain!
