July Ends and August Begins!
Can you believe this summer is more than half way over? Here's a look back at July's weather and a look ahead to what August may bring.
Either way you slice it, it can be difficult heading into the month of August. Daylight is decreasing, our normal climatological high temperatures have peaked and now are in a slow decline, and summer is more than half-way through.
Many thought this summer would be a dud after the cool and damp spring. It's hardly been a dud, that's for sure. If you're a summer weather fan, I'm sure you loved July.
