Today is Tuesday June 21, 2016.
This is the 173rd day of the year, there are 193 days left.
On this day...
Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
In 1791 A huge hurricane wave carried off the coffin of a hated
count as he lay in state in Havana, never to be seen again.
In 1893 On the first day of summer the temperature at Dodge City
KS soared to 106 degrees during the midst of a blistering
heat wave. The heat wave initiated a severe three year
drought in the Central Plains Region. Ironically, at
about the same time, heavy rains in the Mississippi
Valley were causing the river to swell to its highest
level of record at New Orleans LA.
In 1919 Seven heavy coach cars of a moving train were picked up
and thrown from the tracks by tornado winds. A baggage
car was set down 30 feet away from the rest of the train.
In 1954 A severe hailstorm struck Wichita KS and vicinity causing
nine million dollars damage.
In 1972 Phoenix AZ was drenched with 1.64 inches of rain late on
the 21st and early on the 22nd to easily surpass their
previous June rainfall record of 0.95 inches. The total
for the month was 1.70 inches.
In 1987 A tornado destroyed 57 mobile homes at the Chateam
Estates trailer park northwest of Detroit MI killing one
person and injuring six others. Total damage was
estimated at 1.7 million dollars. Thunderstorms over
Lower Michigan also drenched the Saginaw Valley with up
to 4.5 inches of rain in less than six hours.
In 1988 The first full day of summer was a torrid one, with
100 temperatures reported from the Northern and Central
Plains to the Ohio Valley. Sixty-nine cities in the
north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for
the date. The high of 110 degrees at Sioux Falls SD was
an all-time record for that location. Highs of 103 at
Des Moines IA, 102 at Fort Wayne IN, 109 at Huron SD, 108
at Sioux City IA, and 101 at South Bend IN were records
for June.
In 1989 The first day of summer heralded snow in the northern and
central Rockies. Fifteen inches of snow was reported at
the summit of Mount Evans CO, and 18 inches was reported
west of Lander WY, at Dickensen Park. Heavy rain
continued in the eastern U.S. Huntsville AL reported a
record 11.65 inches for the month, compared to the 0.17
inch rainfall total in June 1988.
