"Can you give an update as to where we stand? Are we going to be hotter than June 2008? It does seem hotter but a year is a long time ago so I'm sure to most of us it's hotter because it is in the present as opposed to the past. Shoot. I guess I don't even remember June 2008 as being hot."

Mike,

Today has been another triple-digit, record-breaking day for Austin, but it's not enough to beat last year. However, as of Monday afternoon, we've moved into 2nd place. Here's where we stand on the list of Hottest Junes Ever for Austin (Camp Mabry).

1) June 2008 87.6 degrees
2) June 2009 86.7 degrees
3) June 1998 86.4 degrees

With only one day left in the month, there's no way we'll beat last year's record. And, even with a weak cold front in the area on Tuesday, we're not likely to cool off enough to drop back into 3rd place. So, it seems almost certain that June of 2009 will do down in the record books as the second hottest June ever in Austin's history. I'll post the final numbers Tuesday evening.

Mark
