June stats are in from the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory:

It was tenth coldest June on record.

The consistently cool temperatures were due to the persistently low sunshine all month, which measured just 27 percent, or half of the 55 percent typically observed in June. This is the second lowest sunshine ever recorded in June, behind only 25 percent measured in 1903, and this ties for the fourth lowest sunshine (in percent) for any month of the year.

Although not generally heavy, the rainfall was frequent with measurable precipitation occurring on 19 of the 30 days, which is the second highest total for any June.


Got soaked on this morning's bike ride to work. Had broken spoke repaired at Community Bike yesterday. Was told I need new chain ring.

I wish I could share some of our Pacific Northwest sun and good weather...I feel like our weather patterns are reversed lately!
