In the month of June, Extension rainfall reporters recorded an average of 5.52 inches of rain in Hardin County.
Last year, the average rainfall for June was 4.21 inches. Rainfall for the current month is 1.15 inches more for the month than for the 10 year average rainfall in the month of June.
Liberty Township received 6.01 inches (the county average was 5.52 inches), according to Phil Epley, reporter for the township. The township also has received 11.21 inches of rain since the growing season started on April 14 (the county average is 11.25 inches.)
