After one of the wettest Mays on record, June in New England is looking just as soggy.
And worst yet, it seems like it's rained every Saturday since the spring thaw.
Driving the news: Boston has seen 13 consecutive weekends with measurable rainfall and that's impacting our spirits and a lot of businesses and organizations that depend on sunny days to make a buck.
Parking fee collections for state properties are significantly lower than the same time last year, according to the Department of Recreation and Conservation.
Parking lots haven't closed because of capacity either.
What they're saying: "More than 50% of our earned revenue comes in during the summer period, and as you can imagine, a lot of that comes in on Saturdays and Sundays at our beach properties," Trustees of Reservations president Katie Theoharides told Axios.
The Trustees manage 47,000 acres of recreational land across 120 sites in Massachusetts. Some, like Crane Beach in Ipswich, charge for parking.
If people cancel plans to come to the Trustees' campgrounds, their reservation money is refunded, Theoharides said.
The bright side: Tomorrow's forecast doesn't call for another drencher, but it could be better, with clouds, temperatures around 65 degrees and a chance of showers before 3pm.
DCR reports that the recent rainfall hasn't contributed to any water quality issues
