| Monthly Review |
|
| This past July was right about par as far as
temperatures were concerned, though it did not appear things would be that |
|
| way at the beginning of the month. High
temperature records were either set or tied four out of the first seven days
of |
|
| the month, including 102° on both the 6th and the 7th.
Thankfully, temperatures moderated the rest of July and the |
|
| century mark was never threatened again. The only other
temperature record set this July was tying the record low |
|
| on the very last day of the month. A five-day stretch of rain
from the 14th-18th brought temperatures down to below |
|
| normal levels, including the 16th and 17th, days that saw
highs only reach the middle 80s. Temperature for the last two |
|
| weeks of July could be characterized as very normal. Rainfall
in College Station was above normal for the month, |
|
| thanks in large part to 1.98" of rainfall recorded on
the 14th. 1.25" of precipitation on the 7th cooled temperatures |
|
| and marked the end of the 100° plus heat. No severe weather
was recorded in the Brazos Valley for the month. |
