The outlook for June (released May 31) shows a good chance that many in our region could see below normal temperatures...
Do you remember when we had a below normal June? It has been rare indeed, lately But, that has not always been the case.
Take a look...

| 2016…..2.5 | 2016…..2.6 |
As you can see in the chart above, Louisville has not really had a below normal June month since 2006. During 2009, over 9" rain quite possibly led to a very slightly below normal month.
Interestingly, check out the June 'mini-ice age' for Louisville during the years of 2000-2006. Although the chart does not show it, Louisville's string of below normal June's actually went back to 1995, a stretch of 12 consecutive years!
There's your little bit of climate trivia I bet you didn't know.
Have a cool day.
