This week, Victoria sat down with State Climatologist Dr. Jim Angel for a lesson on the weather.

Illinois climate experts say the state saw its wettest February on record this year.

There was no shortage of rain this month, but rather a shortage of drainage solutions. Collectively, Illinois received 8.9 inches of rainfall in June making it the wettest June on record and the fourth wettest month in the state's history according to records dating back to 1895. Currently, the wettest month on record happened in September of 1926 when 9.26 inches of rainfall fell over Illinois.
