After a very wet May, 2018 decided to go the other way for July. We recorded only 1.11 inches of rain at Leslie Park's weather station during July. That is the lowest summer monthly total since 2012. Only seven days saw measurable rain and just one had over a tenth of an inch. The month was bookended with rain, as the first saw 0.06 inches and the 31st had 0.81. The storm on the 31st carried over into the next month, and the total was 1.14 inches. That brings the total for 2018 to 17.08 inches.
July had an average temperature of 73.5 degrees. The high temperature for the month was 95.1 (July 4th.) There were seven days with temps that got above 90 degrees. That makes 13 days already where the high was above 90. The lowest recorded temperature was 50.1 (7th)
Average windspeed for the month was 1.5 mph. The highest recorded sustained windspeed was 24 mph, on the 20th.
