Yesterday's rainfall totals didn't just break a record- it shattered it.

Tucson International Airport recorded 1.15 inches of rain yesterday, breaking the old record for June 29 of 0.55 inches, set in 1912.

With more rain on the forecast today, 2016 is positioned to break the record for the wettest June, according to the National Weather Service in Tucson.

Yesterday's totals and what's been recorded since midnight measure in at 1.58 inches. With the previous record set at 2.07 inches, enough rain today could push 2016 into first place.
