3rd Coldest July

It's been a cool summer across the Stateline and here in Rockford as well. This July ended up tying for the 3rd coldest since we started keeping record, about one hundred years ago. The average high temperature for the month was 79.2° which is 5.3° below normal. The average low was 59.1° which is 3.9° below normal. Overall, the average temperature for the month was 69.1° which ties for the 3rd coldest. The coldest July was recorded in 2009 when the average temperature was 67°.

There ended up being only one 90° day in the month of July this year, and that was only the second time we hit 90° this year. Normally we see about six 90's in the month of July. As we look ahead this week and even peeking at next week it looks as if we will continue the trend of below normal temperatures.
