Texas sets June record for wetnes Mississippi, Louisiana also damj Texas / n te free | mpus, T Previou By Randolph E. Schmid THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Texans slogged through the wettest June on record, and residents of the Gulf Coast and south-central states also had wetter than normal weather, the government said Tuesday. It was the second wettest June on record for Mississippi and No. 3 for Louisiana, the National Climatic Data Center said. In its monthly climate analysis, the center, a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also reported record dryness across southern California while parts of the Midwest had a cooler-than-average June. Overall, Texas averaged 6.87 inches of rain in June. That topped 1899’s record average, 6.72 inches. But some areas nearly doubled the statewide average. It rained for 18 days in northern parts of the state in June, a record, and for 21 consecutive days in Houston. Victoria Regional Airport in Victoria, Texas, recorded 13.5 inches of rain in June, topping a local record of 12.84 inches set in 1977. Even though it didn’t set a record, Mississippi was even wetter than Texas. It averaged 10.0 inches for the month, second only to the 11.5 inches recorded in 1900. And Louisiana aver aged 12.22 inches in June, trailing the 12.44 of 2001 and 13.64 inches of 1989. While past record years generally have been caused by tropical storms, no tropical activity was blamed for the conditions this year.R; a series of strong thunderstorms repeals swept over parts of Texas.
