"June 2008 Rainfall Totals"

With the month of June concluded, I thought it appropriate to update the final rainfall totals here in Milwaukee. Last month is officially the wettest in recorded history. And to put things into perspective, the previous record was broken back on June 13th.

The top five rainiest months in Milwaukee history:

RANK / AMOUNT / SEASON

1. . 12.27 -- 2008 June
2. . 10.03 -- 1917 June
3. ... 9.98 -- 1997 June

For the record books, here is a thorough recap of the Midwest Flood of 2008 -- the devastating result of all this rain. As of today, some areas are still above flood stage.
