SOME OTHER INTERESTING TEMPERATURE FACTS ABOUT JULY 2012...THERE WERE 28 DAYS WITH HIGHS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 90. THIS WAS TIED FOR 2ND PLACE ALL TIME...THE AVERAGE NUMBER IS JUST 20. FOR LOW TEMPERATURES THERE WERE 29 DAYS WITH LOW TEMPERATURES GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 60. THIS WAS THIRD ALL TIME AND THE AVERAGE IS JUST 16. JULY ALSO HAD 6 DAYS OF LOW TEMPERATURES GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 70. THIS WAS THE SECOND MOST AND FINALLY THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF DAYS IN JULY OF 100 OR MORE IS FOUR AND THIS YEAR THERE WAS NINE...THE 6TH MOST.
FOR PRECIPITATION JULY 2012 RECORDED ONLY SEVEN HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH WHICH WAS ABOUT A QUARTER INCH BELOW THE NORMAL. DRYNESS LIKE THIS IS TYPICAL IN JULY WITH MANY YEARS POSTING ZERO OR TRACE AMOUNTS FOR THE MONTH. HOWEVER...WHEN COMBINED WITH A VERY DRY PREVIOUS MONTH OF JUNE...THE JUNE-JULY TOTAL OF .26 HUNDREDTHS WAS THE DRIEST JUNE-JULY COMBINATION SINCE 2000...A 12 YEAR STRETCH.
THERE WERE NO NOTEWORTHY STORMS IN JULY BUT GUSTY WINDS IN THE 40 TO TO 50 MPH RANGE OCCURRED ON A COUPLE OF EVENINGS THIS MONTH. THERE WAS SOME BLOWING DUST REDUCING VISIBILITY BUT NOTHING DAMAGING OR SEVERE.
