May closed as the second driest on record with Helena reporting 0.27 inches of rain. Officials note only May 1928 was drier, at 0.24 inches, while average May rainfall stands at 1.99 inches. Despite the drought, experts say a surge in June rains could improve crops, citing historic patterns since 1880 and past years where June flood levels followed dry Mays.
