This was the hottest july on record in the US

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/

Drought expands to cover nearly 63% of the Lower 48; wildfires consume 2 million acres

The average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the hottest July and the hottest month on record for the nation. The previous warmest July for the nation was July 1936 when the average U.S. temperature was 77.4°F. The warm July temperatures contributed to a record-warm first seven months of the year and the warmest 12-month period the nation has experienced since recordkeeping began in 1895.

I'm sure anyone who works outside really felt the heat this july. It was f*cking misserable. I just hope that this isn't the new normal.

Not really worried about that, I care more about August.

It was an unusually cold July where I live (US).

Does an average of 77* seem really low to anyone else for July? I would think the average July temp in the US would be around 85-90. There must be some really cold states even in summer.

I think they were counting total average temperature, not just daily high temperatures.

It's only going to get worse. l4dak47

Sh1t movie, but you get the idea.

It's been really rainy here lately. That's kept the temp down, thankfully. But early last month I was working on an extension of my grandma's car port roof with my uncle. I hadn't sweat that much in a long time.

Feels good to live in silicon valley, where almost no one has air conditioning. Today we are expected to get to a high of 90 degrees, I might put on shorts.

The highs are in the 90s and 100s but the temp doesn't stay their all day, temperature ranges throughout the day are factored in. (even in louisiana it would get down to 80 or so at night)

The one bad thing about Cali, the f*cking heat. :( Even in the North it can get atrocious. tagyhag

How hot does it get there?

It was miserably hot in Michigan this July.

It got up to 87 here in the Puget Sound area on Sunday. It did kinda suck since not many apartments have AC here, and my apartment faces west. Got up to around 93 in my room, so that kinda blew. This past weekend was kind of a fluke though, since it usually hovers around the low 70s. Rather pleasant.

I've never seen so many temps in the 90s in eastern WI, where we are usually protected by the lake breeze. Climate change FTW.

I miss winter. And the cold.

Thank the Gods we have a freezer at my workplace. :D

It was bad our average is in the high 70's and we had weeks of 90+

Were having a great summer in Europe, never above 24°. Sometimes sunny, sometimes a little rain.

Love it.

86 is hot? 86 is considered nice here in the summer. We spent most of July with heat indexes of 110+. I bet most of you have no idea what hot really is.

I live near the coast in California. July was really nice here hehe.

July was quite a rainy month here, with the odd few sunny days

Careful now, don't get your jimmies get in a rustle.

[QUOTE="BeardMaster"][QUOTE="lonewolf604"]God, I want to stab people who use Fahrenheit, sorry Americans. lonewolf604

Fahrenheit is more sensitive. You only have 100 degrees between freezing and boiling on a Celcius scale, but you have 212 degrees between those two points on the Fahrenheit scale.

Freezing is 32F, which is 0C. Not-freezing is 33F, which is also 0C.

Yes, I know you can use decimal places with C, but weather casts don't so it's a moot point.
