At Louisville, the temperature reached an all-time record high for the month of June with 103 degrees on Thursday. We could likely reach that today or exceed it by a degree if any developing storms stay away from the area.
We have had 11 days with temperatures at or above 90 degrees this month. However, according to the NWS Louisville office, our AVERAGE temperature, which takes into account high and low temperatures, is 75.2 degrees or 0.2 degrees BELOW normal for the month. Amazing!
How can this be? First, we had a cool start to the month. Next, with all of the dry air in place and a worsening drought, temperatures soar in the afternoon and fall off quickly after sunset. Yesterday, we had a 36 degree spread between the high (103) and the low (67).
By the end of the month, though, the average temperature will most likely come out slightly above normal.
I'm curious whether we'll see any of those storms firing close to our area. I sure could use some rain.
