| Monthly Review |
| The Brazos Valley saw heavy rains and below
normal temperatures during the month of June.
Beginning on the |
| first week, the tail end of a stationary front
caused scattered showers to drop almost two inches on College Station. |
| An upper level disturbance during the second
week of June caused heavy rainfall in the Brazos Valley and most of |
| southeast Texas. On the 8th, College Station received
2.41", and the rain helped cool temperatures down. A low |
| pressure system settled over Louisiana just
before the 15th, and a daily record was set on the 15th with 2.93" of |
| precipitation.
Things became relatively normal for the third week of June before the
subtropical jet settled over the |
| state for the final week of the month. A stationary front in the northern part of
the state combined with the moist |
| air from the jet to cause copious amounts of
rainfall throughout the Brazos Valley and the state. June ended with |
| 2.86" over seven consecutive days of
rain. 11.75" of rain fell during
June, the second wettest June since 1910. |
| For the year, 37.04" have fallen - 93% of
the normal annual rainfall for the city (39.67"). The 18 days with |
| measurable precipitation is 11 over the normal
for June. The rain cooled temperatures
down quite a bit, as well. |
| The highest temperature of the month was 96°
on the 1st, and two records were new set for lowest maximum |
| temperature.
Nine of the 14 near records during the month were also for lowest
maximum temperature. The |
| average daily temperature was 1.4° below
normal. With half of 2004 finished,
the area has yet to reach 100°F. |
