Garland Maine Climatology for June, 2020
Garland Climatology for June, 2020 (35 year averages in parentheses):
average max: 77.9F (74.5F)
average min: 55.0F (54.3F)
extreme max: 95F
extreme min: 33F
total precipitation: 1.97 in. (5.26 in.)
total snowfall: 0.0 in. (0.0 in.)
June turned into a significantly warmer than usual month after a chilly start that saw many locations have a killing frost right at the beginning of the month. But this cool start was more than balanced by a mid-month heat wave that saw most locations around central Maine have a string of days that saw high temperatures rise to well into the 90sF while they only fell into the 60s at night. Only the immediate coast failed to take part in the heat since those locations tended to have sea breezes most days for much of the month. The reason for the down and up conditions had to do with the wavy jet stream that plunged well to our south during the cool spells and then moved well to our north during the heat wave. The rest of the time it tended to move west to east right over Maine and that flow tended to keep us much drier than usual and which added to the severity of the building drought conditions that set up over all of most of the state. There were signs that a more variable pattern was setting up toward the end of the month that would tend to bring periodic showers and thunderstorms, though it’s still not certain if that pattern change would be enough to break the drought conditions. It was warm enough so that we ended up with 44 cooling degrees rather than a more normal 18 heating degrees in an average June. This compares with 37 heating degrees last year which was a noticeably cooler and wetter month.
