June 2025 ends with another quite dry month at least right here. Station rainfall of 2.09" was only 45% of June NOAA normal. That said the rainfall pattern, dominated by convective activity, was highly variable across the region  even within the upper Roanoke Valley. June was preceded by a very wet May, but before that was a very dry March-April--the roller coaster continues. Overall year-to-date precipitation is very close to normal, while The Water year (Oct. 1 to date) deficit is at 3.90" or 88% of NOAA normal. 

Most indicators suggest conditions fairly close to normal.
The USGS gage on the Roanoke River at Roanoke 7-day flow as of 6/29/25 was 189 cfs or the 57th percentile of all flows for the date (115% of median). Carvins Cove local water supply reservoir as of 6/30 was at -1.0 feet below full pond (97.5% of capacity) -0.7 ft decline in the past two weeks. The US Drought Monitor (USDM) valid as of 6/24/25 showed no drought anywhere in VA or nearby WV and NC. A late June heat wave pushed average June temperatures up into what will be a top 10 warmest finish at KROA climate site (currently at 75.9F or +2.2 from 30-yr mean), to 7th or 8th place, with official records back to 1912. Interestingly, June 2024 reached 4th place at 76.9F. All told, a difficult call but will select Mildly Dry at least in my own yard.
