The month got off to a bit of a cool and wet start with daytime highs in the upper teens and some showers on the 4^th. Conditions dried out and warmed up by the end of the first week with the highest temperature during the month recorded on the 8^th at 30.6 degrees. A few cool days were interspersed with warm conditions for the remainder of the month. Daytimes highs for the month were well above normal however overnight lows were on the cool side.

On the precipitation side of things, the wet day on the 4^th and an unsettled period between the 19^th and 22^nd pretty well covered the rainfall or lack of. In the end only 16% of normal precipitation was recorded, not the driest July on record however in the top 3.

Into the archive, July will show a warm and very dry month.
