The updated June outlook from the National Weather Service pushes back the call for hot weather until July. Forecast models show mainly comfortable days in the 70s through the first two weeks of our new month. Total rainfall over the 30 days could average near the climate normal of 1.70 inches.
The map shows the Northwest in the EC zone which stands for equal chance or no confidence for hot or cool temperatures. The green shade clearly shows the chance for normal to above rainfall.
Of course a lack of hot days in the 90s and at least periodic rain showers could go a long way to delaying the start of wildfire season.
