At month’s end today all reporting stations in the area reported more than average rainfall totals. The reports varied greatly as there were lots of isolated thunderstorms that produced heavy rains. The reporting station in Dubuque, IA recorded the highest amount with 8.84 inches, far more than the 3.73 inch normal. The Galena Territory reported 4.03 inches with 2.16 inches of that falling on the 17th and 18th, Mt. Carroll reported 6.09 inches and Stockton reported 3.40 inches for the month. Looks like the reporting station on Bethel Road near Stockton missed some of the soaking rains.
The temperature average was one degree cooler than normal. After a dry May we have caught up to near average precipitation for the year. After being dryer than normal for the past five years, lets hope that this continues.
