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.
It was also the wettest June on recori
Richmond, Va., with 9.70 inches,
with the 9.24-inches of 1938.
