May has been a wet month with wide temperature swings.  Measured 4.57 inches of rain compared to the NOAA normal of 3.64 inches.  May has been the  first month this year with above average precip.  Measurable rain on 14 of 31 days.  Year to date my total is 15.36″ compared to the normal of 17.61″ or 87% of the average.

I don’t keep temperature records but there have been days well above 90° and the last day of May (yesterday) wearing a jacket with a little heat turned on.  The month of June is normally the second wettest month of the year with an average of 4.52″.  Shall see.  All numbers are from my location in the S.E. corner of Brattleboro and do vary place to place.

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. For the calendar year still well above average with 24.32″ measured compared to the NOAA average of 17.81 inches. All numbers from my location in the S.E. corner of Brattleboro and can very considerably from location to another.
