We have only had two 90 degree days so far this July. And, there aren’t any in the forecast. Remember, the average high is now 89 degrees and we are just moving into what is usually the hottest time of the year. Let’s look at the past five Julys to compare and look at what happened in August:
# of 90º days in July Highest Temperature # of 90º days in August
2004 4 95º on the 13th 6
2005 17 99º on the 23rd 11
2006 19 104º on the 19th 15
2007 12 93º on the 18th 24
2008 7 96º on the 21st 6
2009 2 91º on the 9th ?
http://community.nbcactionnews.com/blogs/weatherblog/default.aspxOnly two days over 90 so far in July, compared to an average of 11.8 in the last 5 years. 2004 only had 4 days over 90, but unlike this year it at least got up to 95 degrees. Electric bill should be decent this month except I am going to have to do more mowing - with my electric mower.
