The summer of 2013 was one of the wettest on record across eastern Kentucky. Meteorologists break down the seasons differently from what you see on the calendar.

Meanwhile, the London-Corbin Airport, which has weather records dating back to November 1954, recorded 18.03" of rain for the meteorological summer.
