Feature(s) of Agro meteorological Interest:  A  survey of rainfall totals for June indicated some of our network stations have recorded  values much above their normals. In several cases the totals measured more than 50%  of the normals typical for June. This was most prevalent for  stations in the west of the country and occurred during the final weekend in June.   ENSO neutral conditions are present across the equatorial Pacific. Sea surface temperatures(SST) anomalies have become increasingly negative across the equatorial Pacific.
