    It is the 2nd wetest June on record. Going back to the mid 1800's or something. ALso, I heard Mass had something like 30% sunshine and we average around 70%. It really does seem like its been cloudy and rainy everyday.

    that is my exact thinking.
    which would you prefer, the boys live close by.....or hit up your area every year? ;) they can stay in seattle as long as they continue to hit up the east coast annually. :mrgreen: thanks.

    as to the rain - i don't have any stats, but it MUST be one of the wettest junes in the NYC vicinity as well. crazy. looks like next week will start to get sunnier. i will say tho, thankfully, that most of the beautiful/sunny weather we have had, rare as it may've been this june, mostly coincided with weekends. very nice. last summer i seem to recall a lot of rainy weekends and sunny weekdays, and that is just cruel. :twisted:
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Without research, I'll guess #1 was 1998.
    My wedding day set a record for rainfall at Logan. I had to hire ducks for ushers.

    Here we go, here's my wedding day:

    June 13 set rain records in Boston and Providence, R.I.
    NEWS FROM THE NORTHEAST REGIONAL CLIMATE CENTER

    FOR RELEASE: July 22, 1998
    Contact: Blaine P. Friedlander, Jr.
    Office: (607) 255-3290
    E-Mail: <!-- e --><a href="mailto:bpf2@cornell.edu">bpf2@cornell.edu</a><!-- e -->

    ITHACA, N.Y. -- June 13 will go down in the record books in Boston and Providence, R.I., as the wettest June day on record in the two New England cities. Boston's total of 5.69 inches beat the previous record of 4.36 inches set in June 1881. The rainfall at T.F. Green Airport in Providence was 3.29 inches, compared with the previous June day record of 2.97 inches, set June 5, 1982.

    June also appeared to be a deluge throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and West Virginia. It was the second-wettest June for those states since official records began in 1895, according to the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University. (Weather records for some larger cities, however, go back earlier than 1895.)

    Rhode Island can expect about 3.39 inches of rain in any normal June. This year nature pounded the Ocean State with 9.67 inches of rain, which is 285 percent of the 30-year normal (based on records between 1961 and 1990). The rainiest June "Little Rhody" ever had was in 1982, when it was deluged with 11.33 inches.

    Massachusetts endured 8.43 inches of rain for the month, or 227 percent of the normal 3.71 inches. The "Old Colony's" wettest June was in 1982, when 10.37 inches of rain fell.

    With 8.97 inches of rain, New Hampshire received 240 percent of its normal rainfall for June of 3.73 inches. Vermont saw 7.81 inches of rain, which is 208 percent of the normal 3.76 inches. For both Vermont and New Hampshire, it was second only to 1922 as the rainiest June on record.

    "Heavy rains on June 13 and 14 were the largest contributors to these high monthly totals," says climatologist Keith Eggleston.

    West Virginia also endured its second-rainiest June with 7.15 inches, compared with an average rainfall from 1961 to 1990 of 3.9 inches.

    The 12-state Northeast region averaged 6.32 inches of rain, or 164 percent of normal, making the month the third-wettest June on record after 1972 (8.29 inches) and 1922 (6.75 inches). It was the fourth wettest June in both Connecticut and New York. Monthly rainfall totals were the closest to normal in southern portions of the region, with Delaware averaging 114 percent of normal and Maryland 112 percent of normal. The Northeast comprises of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia.

    June ended the Northeast's string of six warmer-than-normal months, with most of the region cooler than normal. The area-weighted monthly average temperature for the region of 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit was 0.4 degrees cooler than the normal 64.9 degrees, making it the coolest June since 1993. Massachusetts reported the largest temperature drop with an average temperature of 63.4 degrees, compared with the normal 64.8 degrees.

    By than the long-term average of 62.6 degrees.
