Rain-soaked grounds all across the state, but especially in the Northeast, have created the perfect conditions for minor to moderate flooding. According to climatologist and meteorologist Mark Seeley, many climate observers witnessed rainfall on 15 of the first 20 days this month.

Between Tuesday and Wednesday, there were near all-time daily rainfall records for June — including just a hair over 5 inches of rain in one day at Tettegouche State Park, which saw rushing waterfalls and property damage.

MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Seeley about the ample rain in their weekly weather chat.
