It's Official: June was Wet

The preliminary numbers are in, and here are the Oklahoma rainfall
totals for June 2007. Six of Oklahoma's nine climate division
appear to have established June records. Notably, central Oklahoma
absolutely shattered its previous mark by three inches!

Also notable: the far northwest part of the state actually
experienced on of its drier Junes. This helped salvage a respectable
wheat harvest in the eastern panhandle.

Here are some different views of a soggy month:
