We were finally wetter than normal across the area in June! After months of dry conditions stoking fire fears and leading to drought concerns, we spent much of June catching up to annual rainfall numbers.

Temperature-wise, Central Florida's temps were pretty normal in the afternoons but above normal in the mornings. In Melbourne, low temperatures actually tied or broke records on several days.
