Top 10 Warmest Junes On Record

Hottest Junes on record at the West Lafayette COOP (1901 to present)
1) 79.3º - 1933
2) 78.9º - 1934
3) 76.6º - 1921
4) 75.9º - 1944
5) 75.7º - 1925
6) 75.5º - 1941
7) 75.4º - 1919
8) 75.0º - 1931
9) 74.8º - 1939
10) 74.7º - 1991

No surprise, the 1930's dominate again. Who knows if there was some "fuzzy" recording or measuring back in those days, but there's also some "fuzziness" to LAF's numbers these days as well. Regardless those are the numbers to shoot for. 

As well, we're obviously off to a hot start through the first 4 days of June, with more heat in the next several days, so I looked for the hottest first 10 days of June throughout history.

1) 80.1º - 1933
2) 79.9º - 1925
3) 79.3º - 1934
4) 78.0º - 1942
5) 76.6º - 1914
6) 75.7º - 1963
7) 75.2º - 1911
8) 75.0º - 1940
9) 74.9º - 2005
10) 74.6º - 2008

LAF with an average of 75.9º through yesterday. 0z MEX MOS for the 6th through 10th: 87/60, 93/67, 94/69, 89/69, 79/65. Assuming a 88/64 for today and using the MEX numbers (no doubt they won't be exactly right, but will be for this purpose), the 10 day average will ballpark at 76.6º.
