Will finish the month with 3.33" of rain. Felt drier but think that's a typical amount for July. One heat wave from 22nd-24th and came close to a 6 day stretch but just missed the 90 mark on the 21st (although I think the airport hit 90 that day for the official 6 day heat wave). Today almost felt like one of those back broken days of late August...very windy and felt nice when not in direct sun.
Really?
"A series of other category 3 heatwaves - Yago, Xenia, Wenceslao and Vega - are expected later this summer."

My Davis has me 82/66 now. Backyard lobster and steak later with guests...hoping that sea breeze that's been here for a week makes an appearance this afternoon.
High of 70F in full sun today...can't remember a cooler solstice. Looking back the past several years it's typically been over 80 on this date. Would like something interesting to show up soon but Stein in control for now.
Definitely been a nice stretch. Don't think we've needed to run AC here in over a month. 71/56 perfection out there now...should have taken this week off.
Wife going to St. Louis next week. Forecast highs there are 95+ the next 10 days...no thank you. At least she'll be mostly in office buildings with AC.
Picked up just over an inch of rain today. Biggest accumulation of the month, which is now at 2.73" total. Don't see any drought concerns if the long range is any indication.
