NOAA released their monthly climate statistics for the United States today. They showed that for most of our region, precipitation was wetter than normal, although some areas were near normal. The driest areas were southwest Georgia and northern Virginia. The temperature was mostly near or slightly above normal, but no records were set in the Southeast, although the Southwest was a different story. The warmest part of the region was the Florida Peninsula and eastern NC and Virginia.
