A3
July was warmer,
drier than average
Chieftain staff
JOSEPH — Tempera-
tures in Wallowa County
were above normal in
July, though not quite as
far above the average as it
was in June.
For the month, the
National Weather Service
in Pendleton recorded an
average temperature in
Joseph of 67.8 degrees,
which is 2.8 degrees
above normal.
In June, the aver-
age temperature was 5.7
degrees above normal.
The
average
high
temperature sat at 86.7
degrees, 6.1 degrees above
normal, but again, closer
than the 9.4 degree-above-
normal highs seen in June.
The average low was 48.8
degrees — interestingly,
0.5 degrees below normal.
It had been two degrees
above average the previ-
ous month.
The daily high tem-
perature reached 90 or
above nine times, with a
top high temperature of 94
degrees on July 31. That
was lower than the June
high of 100 reached on
June 29.
The high temperature
exceeded the average on
all but fi ve days during the
month. The lowest high
was 75 degrees on the
19th.
The lowest low was 38
degrees on the 23rd, while
the highest low was 58 on
the 31st. It was at 50 or
higher 13 times. The low
was at or below average
17 times.
The fi nal day of the
month was not only the
hottest, but also the wet-
test. Half of the precipita-
tion measured during the
month — 0.14 inches —
fell on the 31st. The only
other two days with mea-
surable precipitation —
0.01 inches or more —
were the 1st (0.12 inches)
and the 2nd (0.02) inches.
The 0.28 inches total were
1.12 below average.
For the year, just 3.83
inches of precipitation
has been recorded — 6.86
inches below normal.
The National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administra-
tion’s Climate Prediction
Center is projecting higher
than normal temperatures
— the average daily high
is 81.5 degrees and the low
is 46.9 — but near nor-
mal levels of precipitation,
which on average is 1.23
inches in August.
