daddylonglegs Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 82F/62F here....very nice out...winds have already turned out of the west... can't seem to hold on to a north wind for more then about 12 hours this summer.... Should end the month at record warmth for La Crosse...that is out of 130 odd years of record keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Wanna take a guess as to how LAF fared? Watched it on radar. Oh look, more storms developing right now that won't hit LAF. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Saved by a redeveloper here at my place. Loud a** crack of thunder just a few minutes ago. Pouring right now. Looks like the airport will not get a drop...but just west and east there will see some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Only July 22nd, I had recorded 0.11" for the month. I'll finish the month of July with 4.01", aided by a 2.01" downpour today. Convection has a way of changing the narrative of a month on a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Detroit had a high of 87*F and a low of 68*F today. That was just enough for July 2012 to have a 3-way tie with 1955 and 1921 for the 2nd warmest July on record, with an average of 79*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 AC on again today....Just guessing, but I bet my AC ran for 27 or 28 days this month... 2 year old daughter just came out of the bathroom and told me she wiped her a$$... Brings a tear to my eye... so proud of these little b@#@stards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 89 here today. There were quite a few clouds (cumulus congestus) during the middle of the day and early afternoon that prevented the temperature from reaching into the 90's again.

michsnowfreak Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 DTW will finish July with a mean temp of 79.0F, which will tie July 1955 and 1921 for 2nd hottest July (behind July 2011, 79.3F). Top 5 Hottest Julys at Detroit below. For 2011 and 2012, I put DET's numbers in parenthesis, because though unofficial, its interesting to note the difference here in 2012. The AVERAGE high at DET was a startling 2.1F COOLER than at DTW (the average low was 0.3F warmer). Clearly all those days I either wondered how the heck DTW managed to get as high as it did, or joked about stat-padding degrees, showed up in the averages. This will officially tie with 1921/1955 for #2 hottest July, though DET (where 1921/1955 temps were taken) would have placed 4th hottest. JULY 2011: Avg High: 89.3 - (((DET - 88.6))) Avg Low: 69.3 - (((DET - 68.8))) Mean: 79.3 - (((DET - 79.2))) JULY 2012: Avg High: 89.6 - (((DET - 87.5))) Avg Low: 68.4 - (((DET - 68.7))) Mean: 79.0 - (((DET - 78.1))) JULY 1955: Avg High: 89.6 Avg Low: 68.5 Mean: 79.0 JULY 1921 Avg High: 87.6 Avg Low: 70.5 Mean: 79.0 JULY 1916 Avg High: 87.2 Avg Low: 68.6 Mean: 77.9 Interesting note...the official numbers for July 1955 and July 2012 were almost EXACT matches: Cumulative High temp: 2779 (1955) - 2779 (2012) Cumulative Low temp: 2122 (1955) - 2121 (2012) Of course, 1955 was at DET, and as we see, 2012 numbers at unofficial DET are nearly a degree cooler. 2012 saw THREE days hit 100F+ to 1955s ONE, but on the flip side 1955 saw a record 17 days of 90F+, while 2012 saw "only" 13 such days at DTW and in fact only 10 days at DET.

Geos Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 DLL: Kudos to your daughter! haha Yeah probably ran the AC 28 or 29 days this month. Total rainfall: 3.96" - about normal. Average High: 87.7°, low: 67.8°. 77.82° overall. +6.58° High 81° today, with lower dewpoints and a nice breeze made it one of the more enjoyable days of the month. 47 minutes of daylight lost so far.

cyclone77 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 July was one of the hottest months I can ever remember, but it's only good enough for 6th place in MLI. Just goes to show how hot it can get around here if it really wants to. July '36 had it beat by over 4 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
