For the fifth time in the past six days the low was in the 40s (and the one day that didn't drop into the 40s had a low of 50°). No other June has had this many days in which temperatures fell into the 40s. What made this streak even more noteworthy is the fact that it came only a few months after the mildest March on record (a record which still stands). Today's high of 70° was the first in the 70s since 5/29.
