Month OF July Was Cooler Than June;
Rainfall .2S OF Inch Above Normal

Mark down the month Of July just
passed as rare gem of a month as
Julys go. The average temperatures,
below normal, were even cooler than
June; it also brought the most rains
for any July since 194S.
For 10 consecutive years-1944 to
1953-July rainfall has been below
normal. This yean with a total pre-
eipitation of 374 inches, it was .2s
inch above normal.
July had its share of hot days,
however. There were nine DAYS
when the thermometers went above
80 degrees-the same as last year.
The high mark for the month was 81
degrees, according to Weather OBJ
server Ray Burkholder's records.
This compares with a record of 107
degrees set in this area in 1884.
The July low of 4s degrees was
within five degrees Of the all-time
record of 43 degrees set in 1895 and
repeated in 1850.
The month also brought to this
area 8 thunderstorms including a
couple that caused considerable dam
age.

The researchers disclosed to-
