JUNE GLOOM WAS THE THEME FOR THE MONTH IN THE GRAY AREA. THERE WERE
21 DAYS DURING THE MONTH THAT THE GRAY AREA RECEIVED MEASURABLE
PRECIPITATION. WHEN IT WASN`T RAINING IT WAS OFTEN CLOUDY WITH THE
FREQUENCY OF MID DAY OVERCAST SKIES NEARLY TWICE THAT AS THE
CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGE. AS A RESULT, TEMPERATURES AVERAGED WELL
BELOW NORMAL MOSTLY DUE TO DAY TIME HIGH TEMPERATURES OFTEN BEING
RELEGATED TO THE 60S WITH THREE DAYS WHERE THE HIGH TEMPERATURE DID
NOT GET ABOVE 60 DEGREES. THE PRIMARY CULPRIT OF THIS DREARY WEATHER
WAS A SERIES OF UPPER LOWS THAT SLOWLY MEANDERED THROUGH THE
NORTHEAST. WITH JET STREAM WINDS WEAKER THAN NORMAL THESE UPPER LOWS
WERE SLOW TO EXIT INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC. DURING THE SECOND HALF OF
THE MONTH THE HUMIDITY ALSO STARTED TO BUILD INTO NEW ENGLAND AND
THIS INCREASE IN MOISTURE LED TO SEVERAL DAYS WITH THUNDERSTORMS AND
LOCALIZED TORRENTIAL RAINFALL. THESE TORRENTIAL RAINFALL EVENTS
RESULTED IN MULTIPLE FLASH FLOODING EVENTS IN MAINE, WHILE THE
GRAY AREA WAS GENERALLY SPARED FROM THESE EVENTS.

THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH WAS 61.4 DEGREES, WHICH WAS
2.2 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. THE COOLEST JUNE ON RECORD WAS IN 1998
WHEN THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WAS 60.6 DEGREES. THE WARMEST WAS 69.7
DEGREES IN 2021.

A TOTAL OF 5.67 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION FELL, WHICH WAS 0.94 INCHES
ABOVE NORMAL. THE HEAVIEST RAIN FELL ON THE 17TH FROM LOW PRESSURE
PASSING THROUGH THE GULF OF MAINE THE PRODUCED 1.36 INCHES OF
RAINFALL. THE WETTEST JUNE ON RECORD WAS IN 2012 WHEN 11.07 INCHES
OF RAIN FELL. THE DRIEST WAS 0.83 INCHES IN 2021.
