June in Truro ...
June is the month with the most daylight, over 15 hours, and June 21st is the Summer Solstice, when the sun is at its highest. Although this longest day is the first day of summer, it also marks the day when days start getting shorter, albeit slowly at first.
The warming trend continues with temperatures up almost 10 degrees from May. According to past records, we expect an average temperature to 64°F, with average lows of 56°F and highs of 72°F. We traditionally get a total of 2.7 inches of rain (about 25% drier than May).
Below are some of the activities and events happening about town this month.
