Minnesota Experiences Hot Summer Weekend, Followed by Heavy Rainfall Boosting Annual Totals

Parts of Minnesota experienced hot temperatures over the weekend, with New Ulm reaching 86 degrees. This was due to a heat dome passing through the region, causing dry, sunny, and windy conditions that contributed to high temperatures.

However, this calm before the storm was short-lived as rainfall totals of up to 2 inches were reported in some areas on Tuesday and Wednesday. This rainfall has helped boost yearly rainfall totals above normal for much of southern Minnesota.

Some impressive rainfall totals include: Annandale with 5.65 inches, Maple Lake with 3.09 inches, Sleepy Eye with 2.72 inches, Monticello with 2.7 inches, and Howard Lake reporting 2.62 inches.

The Twin Cities are no longer in a drought due to this rainfall.

Despite the hot temperatures and subsequent rainfall, frost is still common this time of year as clearing skies and colder temperatures will bring widespread frost and freezing temperatures to Minnesota.
