May Was Warmer and Wetter Than Normal

May was warm and wet in Illinois.

State climatologist Jim Angel says statewide average rainfall was five point six inches last month...which is about an inch above normal. He says a few areas like Red Bud received more than nine inches of rain in May.

He says the driest area was in southeastern Illinois...mainly along the Indiana border from around Champaign to Carmi.

May was warmer than normal...by more than two degrees.
