WEST LAFAYETTE,
Ind. (AP) — The State Climate Office says Indiana's average June rainfall
of 9.03 inches set a record for the month and was the fourth-wettest of
any month on record since 1895.
The office at
Purdue University in West Lafayette says the rainfall surpassed the
previous June record of 8.13 inches set in 1958.
It says nearly
all parts of Indiana received above-normal rainfall of just over 4 inches.
It says the
heaviest totals generally were in a band stretching from Newton to Adams
counties across northern Indiana. A rainfall monitoring station at
Rensselaer in Jasper County recorded the most rain at 18.06 inches. Two
locations in Newton County had more than 17 inches.
