As we get set to turn the calendar to June, May will end up below average for precipitation.

According to Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln, the region saw roughly 10 to 12 days of measurable precipitation throughout the month. Despite the frequent instances of rainfall, the total accumulation for May remains roughly 1.5 inches below seasonal averages.

Shimon notes a cool spell at the start of the month brought eight to ten consecutive days of lower-than-normal temperatures, which set the tone for the rest of May.

We'll have more with Shimon next week on the June and summer month outlooks. Get more on local weather at weather.gov/Lincoln.
