The statewide average for June is now 8.97 inches. That is based on rainfall data collected around the state through yesterday. I’m sure we will see that number move up as we include last night’s rainfall.
Right now June 2015 is the fourth wettest month on record for Illinois. If you look at the top 5 wettest months in Illinois history (below), all the other wet months were in the fall.
- September 1926 at 9.62 inches
- October 1941 at 9.06 inches
- November 1985 at 9.05 inches
- June 2015 at 8.97 inches
- September 1911 at 8.96 inches
