If you take all of the highs and lows of the month, add them all up, and then take the average….you get the “average monthly temperature”.
Here are the top 5 coolest Julys on record (since 1871):
- 68.0 – 1891
- 68.5 – 1965
- 69.0 – 1971
- 69.1 – 1967
- 69.6 – 1962
As of late yesterday, our monthly average temp so far is 67.7 degrees. That makes it the coolest July ever on record. There are a few more weeks of the month to go, but unless we see a prolonged period of warmer temps, this month will most likely end up somewhere in the top 5.
