If you're wondering, our weekend weather is batting just over .500 this year. Thirteen of the 24 weekends (54%) have been completely dry, while 11 weekends (46%) have seen measured rain. January, February, and March were evenly balanced as far as wet and dry weekends, while April featured three weekends with measured rain. There have been just two of six weekends with measured rain in May and June. Here is the monthly breakdown of our weekend weather:
January: 2 wet weekends, 3 dry weekends; total weekend rain 0.48"
February: 2 wet weekends, 2 dry weekends; total weekend rain 0.05"
March: 2 wet weekends, 2 dry weekends; total weekend rain 0.38"
April: 3 wet weekends, 2 dry weekends; total weekend rain 2.21"
May: 1 wet weekend, 3 dry weekends; total weekend rain 0.02"
June: 1 wet weekend, 1 dry weekend; total weekend rain 1.27"
Yearly total: 11 wet weekends, 13 dry weekends; total weekend rain 4.41"
The month of June can offer plenty of rain and clouds. Fortunately, though, a week of nearly-perfect weather is on the way. For many, end-of-year class field trips have been scheduled, school will soon be ending, and graduation ceremonies are being held. The weather will cooperate for the next several days. My younger son takes his class trip next Monday, and both of my sons are graduating from their respective middle school and high school next week. I'll be a proud Dad.
Happy Father's Day.
