As is usual, our thanks to the many responsible for the success of the Frost Warning Service: the weather observers, telephone distri- butors, radio stations and National Weather Service personnel.

Weather June was warm, averaging degrees a day above normal, but not nearly so warm as the record 6 degrees a day above normal in Boston. In fact, as recently as 1973 we had a warmer June in East Wareham. Maximum temperature was 88 degrees on the 24th and minimum 40 degrees on the 3rd. The only cooler than average days were the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 13th. Warmer than average periods were the 8-9th, 15th, 18-19th and 21-26th. Rainfall totalled only inches which is inches below normal. This is only our sixth driest June and the driest since 1971. This is somewhat misleading because inches of the total came on June 2nd which left only inch for the rest of the month. There was measurable precipitation on only six days. We are now about 4-1/3 inches below normal for half the year and 4-1/2 inches behind 1975 to date.
