June was HOT. It was the 5th hottest June on record. The high temperature reached
the triple digits (100°F+) for 28 of the 30 days in June. This tied a record for the
most triple digit temperatures. Since 100°F converts to 37.8°C, I decided to put my
brain into Celsius mode to survive the heat. Psychologically 40.6°C doesn’t seem as
hot at 105°F. We still recorded 11 days of the month over 40.6°C.
Our average high temperature in June was 103.4°F (39.7°C). This was 3.1°F (1.7°C)
above normal. Our nights did not cool off very much. Our average low temperature was
72.2°F (22.3C) which translates to 2.9°F (1.6°C) above normal. We did receive a
little bit of rain this month. The official location at the airport recorded 0.34”
(8.64 mm), which is 0.10” (2.54 mm) above normal. My location only received 0.14”
(3.56mm).
My pictures were taken on July 4, 2012. We received a much needed rain that day,
which made the sky overcast.
