Nick Diller’s weather summary: June 2016, dry but comfortable
More InfoGreat Barrington – It was another drier than average month, the ninth straight month. June 2016 received half of the average rainfall, 2.87 inches versus 4.64 inches.
With the jet stream to our south, keeping us in a dry weather pattern with very low dew points made this June the 15th driest in 51 years of record keeping.
But, as far as temperatures were concerned and our comfort, June was ideal. Our gardens did not like it, but we did.
This June turned out to be slightly warmer than average, by a half degree. The average high was 79 and the low 54 for a mean of 66.5, but with low humidity it felt a lot cooler.
For the immediate future it does not look like the weather pattern will change, so expect comfortable conditions, but we sure could use some rain.
Have a bang up July.
