Bridgeport Shatters Rain Record | Hartford News

Bridgeport just shattered its all-time rain record from June 1 to August 23 with 21.21 inches — smashing the old mark by nearly an inch. The surge came after a record-breaking 2.36 inches fell on August 23 alone, more than double the typical August 23 rainfall and 11 inches above normal. While June was dry, July dumped 12.33 inches and early August added another 6.36 inches — scattered storms leaving some neighborhoods soaked while others stayed drier. Across Connecticut, Hartford’s total of 14.96 inches is also 3.25 inches above average. Temperatures swung between warm June and cooler July. With meteorological summer ending August 31, Bridgeport’s record still has time to grow — and we’re watching closely.
