June was punctuated by a searing 5-day heatwave that blasted the region from June 17 - 24.  This heatwave was part of a massive heat dome that drifted east across the country.  The event was unusual in the fact that it happened so early in the season.  Readings peaked at 95 on June 19.  The average monthly temperature was 72, some 5 degrees warmer than usual.  The first three weeks of June were dry, but decent late-month rainfalls pushed the monthly rainfall total up to 3.65 inches, slightly more than usual.  June was quiet otherwise.  Records for the month:  Record high temperature of 94 degrees on June 17.  Record high temperature (tie) of 95 degrees on June 19.
