ATMOSPHERIC RIVER BROUGHT MORE RAINFALL TO THE AREA. THE DAY WITH THE MOST RAIN
WAS THE 21ST WHERE MEDFORD RECEIVED 1.67 INCHES! HOWEVER, THE RAINFALL RECORD
FOR THE DAY IS STILL HELD FROM 1955 WHEN 2.27 INCHES FELL. ALTHOUGH MEDFORD
RECEIVED A MAJORITY OF THE MONTHLY RAIN BETWEEN THE 15TH AND 25TH, THE TOTAL
MONTHLY RAINFALL WAS ONLY 0.29 INCHES ABOVE NORMAL. NO TEMPERATURE RECORDS WERE

LAST FOUR DAYS OF THE MONTH HAD LOWS IN THE 20S, BUT THE AVERAGE LOW
TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH WAS AROUND 36 DEGREES.
