CHAMPAIGN — June in Illinois started out particularly warm and ended with above average rainfall from numerous storms, according to Illinois State Climatologist Trent Ford at the University of Illinois’ Illinois State Water Survey.
Overall, the preliminary statewide average June temperature was 73.8 degrees, 1.6 degrees above the 1991–2020 average.
The Climate Prediction Center’s outlooks for the second week of the month show elevated odds of warmer and wetter than normal conditions statewide. Meanwhile, longer-term outlooks for the entire month of July do not show much of a strong signal in either temperature or precipitation.
