Nick Diller weather summary: June 2020 sixth driest since 1965

My sister said the month’s weather was like the more arid conditions of southern California when she lived there, where each day was picture perfect, fair and pleasant.

Great Barrington — The photo shows of Old Glory always flying proudly, no matter what the conflict, in this case, a thunderstorm that brought badly needed rain to our lawns and gardens the next to last day of June.

This storm was part of four days that brought us 1.22 inches and that kept the month from being the driest June since 1965. The month’s total of 2.18 inches made it the sixth driest. As it stands, we are about 5 inches below what we should be this time of year. The National Weather Service in Albany has put the Berkshires in the moderate drought category.

While June was dry, it was also warm — 3 degrees warmer than average. Also, coupled with warmer temperatures, came low to moderate humidity. My sister said the month’s weather was like the more arid conditions of southern California when she lived there, where each day was picture perfect, fair and pleasant.

Now it’s July, a traditionally hotter and more humid month.

Great Barrington averages five 90-degree days in July and 10 all summer.

I hope the A/C is still working.
