June rainfall of 4.23″ compared to a NOAA average of 4.52″. Just a little below normal. The first 20 days of the month were quite dry then several days of heavier rainfall brought us to near normal. For the calendar year still well above at 28.55″ compared to the NOAA average of 22.13″. Any rainfall we were to receive today would be recorded/reported tomorrow at 7am, the start of a new month. All numbers are from my location in the SE corner of Brattleboro.
