Regional context

Summer convection drives Saukville's precipitation: June logs 4.3 inches on 7.5 rainy days, against January's 1.5 inches on 4.5 — warm-season storms carry Saukville's moisture. It is a warm-season-wet pattern Saukville shares with places like Port Washington, WI, Grafton, WI and Fredonia, WI.
