It would seem that the rain is real spotty this year. Some areas with little rain and others with too much.

So I will start it off. Since Friday night we have gotten 5 1/2 inches of rain. That was 2 inches Saturday night and 3 1/2 last night. We also got a good inch last week. So we have plenty of water here. Matter of fact the rain last night washed the heck out of things. Some bottomland is under water now too. Couple of real nice fields of corn where under water this afternoon. This is North-east Iowa.
 
Not much around here... Peoria, il. I had a half inch Sunday night and that was the first real rain since before Memorial Day. The rain seems to be staying on the other side of the Illinois river and north of here.
 
Weather guesser said this last front would produce 2-2 1/2" here(E SD).....got maybe .30. Darn dry here. Starting to look like 2012. 60 miles south they have too much.
 
Six and half inches near Strawberry Point, Iowa. Spotty here too. Some of my friends only had 1/2 inch when we got the first three.
 
St Cloud and surrounding has had periodic rains every 3 to 4 days of .5 to one inch. everybody seems happy. Jim
 
inch and 6 tenths friday or sat last week inch and 9 tenths last night il wis state line near monroe wis heard reports over 5 inches brodhead wis area to 2 tenths in same local area
friend of ours was saying 5 inches in parts of jo daviess co il he had fences flattened cattle out not a happy camper
 
we got some rain a couple weeks ago. highs in the 90's to over 100 today. near lincoln ne. going to plant beans on sat.
 
Been on the wet side, was just drying out some and got 2 inches again yesterday. 30 miles east of me they say 4-6 inches of rain near Mankato. Way too much, we have clayish soils around me, an inch goes a long long ways.

Was thinking of replanting the bean drownouts, figured I would wait for this round, its all water again. Think the one corn field will have a lot of stunted corn too now from this. Just too much wet.

Come Augist, I will probably change my tune the other way, we all know how this farming thing goes.....

We had 3 inches about 5 days ago, another .8 since then. Lots of puddles in the fields. Prior to that we"ve had nice gentle, adequate rains. Very little snow over winter, so spring field work went well- could go everywhere since day one.
 
Bout half inch here in south central Indiana. Just go a few miles any way of me and its 3-6 inches. I can not seem to get a rain.
 
North AR, a couple of weeks ago we got over 10 inches in less than 2 weeks. Yesterday it was 98 and the heat index was 112. A small storm moved through and we got .6 and the temp dropped to 70. Supposed to be hotter today.
 
I received 1.25" the past couple of days as the corn was starting to roll with the high temps, but others within 10 miles had up to 3" also heard 9" about 35 miles NW of me and I am located just east of the I 80 and I 39 intersection
 
20 some inches until Memorial Day, then nothing. Hot and humid.
Have been watering regular now here in central Texas.
Last year had to much rain til July 8, then it quit and didn't get anymore til late Oct. Typical for this area tho.
 
It seems to mostly miss me had one day in March had a nice steady rain all night had close to 2 inches, then after that all I could get was .1 or .2 inches, when wherever I go around me might have had 1 to 2 inches. Tuesday was a strange one, PDC just on the north side of the Wisconsin river from me had 3.91 inches in one hour, that same storm gave me .4 inches. Then later in the evening it rained some more to give me the second time this year of having over an inch of rain in one day. Only good thing to say is they been coming in a timely fashion. LOL
 
Touch on the dry side here in SW Ontario, getting about half inch every ten days or so, til last night got 6 tenths, just right since the hay is off, beans are sprayed and N is on the corn. In good shape for now. Ben
 

Though not as bad as last year and a few other recent years, we are dry here in NH. I can look at the big green patches on radar coming across the state, and as they approach us they fall apart. They must be pretty good over in the Connecticut river valley.
 

Need rain bad in NW Pa. Last year 23 of the 30 days of June we had rain & lotts of it.
This years June we've gotten about 1" so far.
 
About 8 inches the last two weeks or so. Last week they were forecasting 5 good days in a row so everyone knocked down all of their first crop hay. Well last Tuesday it started raining and hasn't stopped since. I have one 25 acre field that has been on the ground a week and a half, its now landscape hay. Crops and pastures look great tho. Most of the rains have come in one inch or less shots so not much washing. They are now forecasting sunny sky's until Monday and I'm trying to decide if I believe them and cut down my last 25 acres of first cutting. Major case of gun shyness, LOL!
 
Here in central Iowa it was getting real dry, grass was starting to turn brown. No rain in two weeks. Tuesday night we got one inch. It is really spotty, Perry Iowa 20 miles north has been getting quite a bit more rain than us.
 
Ditto what MN Scott said on lots of rain so far this spring... and here, it looks like it could possibly rain AGAIN today.
 
April and May were cold and wet here...June came and its been very warm with very spotty rains..It was 101 here yesterday....I've had 1.2" of moisture so far in June..Yesterday morning some good rains went to the north of us...At 2 AM this morning a good rain fizzled out just to the west of us..We are fine for now but next week we won't be if the rains miss us.

The 15 day outlook is nothing but mid 90's with very few good chances for rain..Last night they had some 6" rains just north of Wichita,KS...
 
SE WI was cold and dry in April and early May, made for good planting but slow emergence. 2"+ in May, most the last week in May. 5"+ so far in June. Things are green. 2nd crop alfalfa will be ready to cut by Monday. Those that bale hay are "distressed" right now. We have several horse guys in the neighborhood, and I've gotten several calls to help find a home for hay that got baled too wet or is still in the field after 10 days and several soakings.
 
Wife said it rained last night but I never heard it. Looked out side this morning and well if it did rain you can not tell by looking at the drive way since it is dry as a bone. Starting to have to water the garden or it will dry up. Here in my area we are behind in the rain gauge at least 5 inches if not twice that for the year
 
We have had 1.3 inches over the past 30 days and only one decent shower which accounts for .8 inches of the 1.3 inches over all. The soybeans could sorely use a good 1.5 inch soaker but no rain appears to be coming for a few days. It is torture to look the window and watch beans planted 3 plus weeks ago struggle to come through but the one saving grace is the crust is weak.
 
If I'd answered that at 8 o'clock this morning,it would have been filled with some pretty negative expletives. We hadn't had squat in at least a month. We got .3 about ten days or so ago. There was a big line that came through early yesterday morning,got a whopping .3 from that one. Late yesterday I watched a line moving this way for seven hours. When it finally got here after midnight,most of it skimmed to the south. I had another .1 in the gauge this morning,so there was .4 in there. There was nothing on the radar when I went out the door. It started sprinkling at about 8:15,kept picking up in intensity so I came in the house to wait it out.

There was a cell set up over Montcalm County that sat right here for over two hours. When I went back out,there was 1.6 in the gauge,so 1.2 in that two hours. I was all hooked on and fueled up to cut hay,but not now unless it clears out. It's still kinda misty.
 
Central Iowa, halfway between Ames and Fort Dodge, None. 20 miles north 2+" Fields are very dry and hard as a brick.
