More Nice June & July Stats

By Gannon Medwick

Greetings, and thanks for checking into my blog. I’m Storm Team 9 Meteorologist Gannon Medwick.

In early June of this year, the weather was sizzling, and we were becoming anxious about the summer to come. We wondered, “If it’s this hot already, how bad will it be in July?!?!?” Actually, not that bad! Here are some stats from the Channel 9 Studios comparing temperatures from June 1-14 to July 1-14:

Number of days from June 1-14 above 90 degrees: 10
Of those, the number of days from June 1-14 above 95 degrees: 6
Of those, the number of days from June 1-14 above 100 degrees: 2

Number of days from July 1-14 above 90 degrees: 4
Of those, the number of days from July 1-14 above 95 degrees: 0
Of those, the number of days from July 1-14 above 100 degrees: 0

Also, as I illustrated in a previous blog, rainfall has also been more plentiful in July for much of the East as compared to June - a definite plus.

As I write this at 10am Tuesday morning, July 15, it’s a pleasant 78 degrees outside the Channel 9 Studios. We’re on our way to a high of 86 with a 30% chance of afternoon showers. Now that’s a July day I can handle!
