A Look Back On Summer

With the start of fall right around the corner, I figured it would be a good time to give a recap of summer. The maps below depict departure from normals for both temperatures and rainfall. I want to point out that the temperature map is for June 1 through August 31...instead of June 21 through September 21.





TEMPERATURES
Most of the state of Virginia was warmer than normal for this summer (even though it didn't feel like it). A lot of this can be attributed to the exceptionally hot weather we experienced in June - especially early in the month.

RAINFALL
You can see which areas were most impacted by the remnants of Fay and Hanna. There is a narrow stripe of counties west of I-95 that ended up above normal for rainfall. Otherwise, most of the state received below normal rainfall for summer.
