Monthly Review
The month of June has been very hot and dry for the Brazos Valley. A upper-level high pressure system built in over
the state and created a very inactive weather pattern with most fronts stalling around the Red River. The southern
winds have brought in moisture from the gulf creating very humid conditions but not enough to create showers.
Temperatures have been settled above average all but two days of the month and the precipitation totals are very
low. The monthly rainfall total was 0.45", compared to the normal of 3.79" and last year’s total of 11.75", and all but
0.08" came on the first day of the month.  The Climate Prediction Center lists the Brazos Valley under abnormally dry
conditions but not yet in drought stages.  The rainfall deficit of 3.59” is almost entirely caused by the month of June,
which is 3.34” below normal.  All but one day in the month recorded highs over 90, but none reached the century
mark.  The month finished with high temperatures 2.7° above normal and low temperatures 1.8° above normal. No
relief is in sight with temperatures in July expected to be high with little help from precipitation.
