WYNNE — The last significant rain recorded at KWYN was two months ago.
KWYN recorded 1.29 inches of rain on July 11 and then two days later, 1.13 inches was measured here.
Since that time, KWYN has recorded a total of 0.59 of an inch of rain. That’s over a two-month period.
In addition to the lack of moisture, the temperature has soared.
There have been a total of seven days of high temperatures of at least 100 degrees. That includes the 101-degree high temperature yesterday.
Our first 100-degree day was Aug. 17 when it was exactly 100 degrees.
Then, there were five consecutive days of 100-degree days from Sept. 4 to Sept. 8, marking the first time that’s happened in September since KWYN became the official weather reporting station for the National Weather Service in 1956.
The 102 degrees on Sept. 6 was the second hottest day in September since that time.
