St. 克劳德一周都没休息 with less than 3 days of rain since May 19-25 (one day of rain, but 0.95英寸). 的re hasn't been a week with less than half an inch of rain since April 6-12 (0.17寸). This has led to high water levels in lakes, many of which were recording record lows last fall, and rivers and dangerous boating conditions. Some of the June heavy rainfall has produced flooding farmland, which has begun to take its toll. Also, several lakes and rivers had to be dammed to limit flooding.

Persistent Rain Causes High Humidity and Low 温度

的 cause of the heavy precipitation has been the stubborn positioning of the main storm track from the Northern Rockies, mainly just to the south of Minnesota and into the Carolinas. 在那个区域的北边, a series of storms have pumped hot and sticky air over slightly drier air at the surface. 最重要的是, some of these storms have had relatively light winds aloft, meaning that slow-moving thunderstorms were able to douse some areas.

的 persistent humid conditions led to a warmer than average June, only the second month since September 2013 with a warmer than average temperature. 6月的平均气温在圣. 云68岁.2°F, 2.比平均温度高8华氏度. 的 humid conditions meant that much of this warmth was a result of the warm nighttime lows. 平均最低为58分.0°F, 4.比平均温度高4华氏度 included 11 lows of 60 or greater and one low of 70 degrees (6月27日). Those mild lows ended up producing 20 days with warmer than average temperatures. 的 highest temperature of the month was only 85 degrees. 那不像 warmest May temperature of 87 degrees on the 30th. St. 云 今年夏天还没看到90度. Since 1990, only 1993, 2003, and this year have gotten to July without a 90-degree day.

的 upcoming week looks to be a rare opportunity to dry out for a couple of days. 然而, that drying will come with relatively cool temperatures, so there won't be a 90-degree high through Independence Day.
