June, 2007
Rainfall & Temperature Data

Compiled by Donovan Landreneau, Forecaster

 

Rainfall for June, 2007 averaged to be slightly below normal for most of Southeast Texas, Southwest and Central Louisiana, with the exceptions of a few wet spots across the Inland Southeast Texas Lakes region and Western Louisiana. Precipitation was above normal for just about all of South Central Louisiana, where storms over the Atchafalaya Basin combined with the sea-breeze to provide a bit more afternoon thunderstorm coverage.

Temperatures across the region were within a degree of normal, displaying a fairly typical temperature distribution.

The following tables are compiled from the Automatic Surface Observing System (ASOS) and Cooperative Observer network within the National Weather Service Lake Charles area of responsibility, using data obtained from NOAA's Regional Climate Center xmACIS,  WxCoder, and mailed in Cooperative Observer B-29 forms. Many thanks goes out to our Hydro Meteorological Technicians Todd Mogged and Jimmy Nunn, whom maintains the cooperative observing equipment that our observers use to provide this information.

Rainfall graphics were obtained from the Lower Mississippi River Forecast Center's Precipitation Analysis product.
