A Weird Weather Record

Now that June is just about over, we can look back at just how unusual it was. We started off the month extremely cool, averaged highs in the first few days that we typically see in April. Not to mention, the first half of June (typically our most active month for severe weather) went by with almost no severe weather at all. But then the second half was just the opposite; severe weather practically everyday and heat and humidity that we haven't seen in quite some time. But none of those elements created any weather records. However, it did seem like a very wet month. Whether it was cold and cloudy or hot and humid, it seemed to rain a lot. Well, in fact it did. Sioux Falls tied a record for the most days in the month of June with measurable rainfall. Now despite the fact that we saw so many days with rain, Sioux Falls was still officially below average on the month seeing just over three inches of rain. Below is the official record for the month of June for not only Sioux Falls but also Huron and Sioux City. Following that is the month rainfall distribution by days both courtesy of the National Weather Service.~KDLT Meteorologist Cody Matz
