| Monthly Review |
| July was colder and wetter than normal for
College Station. The first week of the
month was quiet - temperatures |
| hovered around normal levels and little
precipitation fell. A cold front
passed through the area on the 9th, with the |
| high on reaching 86° and 0.39" of
precipitation falling. A little more
rain fell on the 11th (0.08"), and typical |
| summer weather then returned to the Brazos
Valley. A high pressure system settled
over the state and clear skies |
| dominated the middle two weeks of the
month. At the end of the third week,
temperatures reached a peak at |
| 96°.
Late on the 25th, a cold front began to move across the area, and
1.74" of precipitation fell.
Temperatures |
| also dropped quickly; the 46-year-old record
for lowest minimum temperature was broken on the 26th. Clouds |
| Clouds covered the sky during the last week of
July. Another 0.11" of rain fell
on the 29th, setting the monthly |
| total at 2.33", only 0.41" above
normal. The average temperature,
however, was nearly two degrees below normal |
| for the entire month. Through the end of July, College Station
has yet to reach 100°. Two other
records were set: |
| the
lowest minimum temperature on the 18th (78°F) and 19th (70°F). |
