A dry month for a change with 3.32″ measured compared to the NOAA normal of 3.64 inches. Much of the month was even dryer until the last 6 days when just over half of the month’s total fell.

All numbers from my location in the S.E. corner of Brattleboro and can very considerably from location to another.
