Crop'Year Dry, Too
July was dry. It was as dry
as any July. It didn’t rain at
all. The average is a puny 0.18
inch and the July of this year
missed the average by just that
much.
The crop year total is
10.39 inches which is .78 inch
below normal.
T h e growing
season precipitation w a s 2.11
and that is 1.18 inches short of
the normal.
The hottest day of the year
so far, was 99 degrees and that
on July 15. The heat on July 30
and 31 sent the thermometer to
97 and Monday to 98.
Coldest
night was on July 7.
