In June, visits to this blog were received from the following 21 countries:
As with previous months this year, the number of countries for the month of June was high compared to the same month last year.
The following is a summary of the weather for the month in the area where we live:
The rainy or "green" season continued with some records so far this year: (1) the most days with measurable rainfall; (2) the most rainfall on any one day; (3) the most rainfall in any one month; and (4) the coldest daily high temperature. The coldest daily high does not appear on the chart but it was a mere 78°F (25.6°C).
The rainfall in June involved 3 days with significant deluges. But they were peanuts compared to a friend who lives in the southern zone of Costa Rica near the Pacific coast. He reported that they had 25 inches (63.5 cm) of rain in the first two weeks of the month (Costa Rican microclimates at work).
On June 25th and 26th we got sideswiped by the Saharan Air Layer - dust that had travelled across the Atlantic and Caribbean from the Sahara Desert in Northern Africa. The highest temperature of the month (88°F / 31.1°C) occurred on the 25th and was accompanied by low humidity (26%). There was a distinctly brownish haze in the atmosphere. To a lesser degree, this lingered on the next day.
