CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Climatologists say the average temperature for June across Illinois was 72.8 degrees - 0.9 degrees above normal.
A Wednesday statement from the Illinois State Water Survey says that in the first 14 days of the month, temperatures were about 4 degrees above normal. But they were about 2 degrees below normal in the final 16 days.
Illinois State Climatologist Jim Angel says that gave June a kind of “split personality” when it came to weather.
