5th Hottest July on Record

The numbers are in, and according to my calculations this is the fifth hottest July Rockford has seen since records began in 1906. Our average temperature (highs and lows together, divided by 31) was 78.9. That's 6.1 degrees above the long-term average.

Speaking of long-term averages, those will be changing starting tomorrow, as we explained in a previous post.
