Wettest June on Record Gets Additional Boost
Wet conditions in Stamford push June rainfall to 9.27 inches, the highest for any June. Thundershowers south of Stamford near Arledge Field dumped up to 1.5 inches, with Lueders recording the same amount. Farmers fear crop losses from delayed planting and replanting, as up to half the cropland west and northwest of Stamford remains unplanted. Maize and small sorghums may yield well if undamaged.
