June 2013 is in the record books as one of the wettest on record in most of Southern New England. All four major climatological sites received at least 10″ of rain, and it was the second wettest on record in Hartford, Providence, and Worcester. It was the third wettest in Boston. There have only been 15 months since 1905 with more precipitation in the Providence area than this past June.
Somewhat surprisingly, even with all the rain, it was warmer than normal. Worcester, Boston, Hartford, and Providence were all 0.9-1.9° warmer than normal. Without a doubt, the warmer conditions were felt more at night than during the day. In Providence, 14 of 30 days featured above normal high temperatures. By contrast, the low temperature was cooler than normal only 10 of 30 days. The low temperature average nearly 6° warmer than normal during the last nine days of the month.
There were two 90° days (24,25) in Providence. Boston and Hartford both saw four 90° days, including a three-day heat wave from June 23-25. There were no 90° in Worcester.
There were no record high or low temperatures set in Providence. The record daily maximum rainfall was set on Friday, June 7 when 3.23″ fell at TF Green Airport.
