This week continues to live up to being the climatologically warmest on the year with high temperatures on Tuesday in the upper 80s and 90s. While we have had some warm days this July, overall it has not been all that bad so far. The featured chart presents the percentage of days each July with a daily high temperature above period of record average for an areal averaged statewide value. The overall average of 50.0% is shown and at first may seem like a no-brainer value, but the distribution of is not always "normal". Anyway, as do many other charts for July, the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s stick out including a few years with every day above average. You may notice the one 0% percent value, that occurred during July of 2009 with each day below average. So the 2022 value is still well below 50%, but there are a number of days left yet for the month and the forecast mostly continues the summer time heat into next week.
