National Overview:
- T
- Temperature Highlights - July
- Persistent high pressure systems continued to
dominate much of the eastern United States during July,
resulting in a
nationally averaged temperature that was warmer-than-normal.
- The intense heat either tied, or shattered, July monthly
temperature records in several East Coast cities, including
Washington D.C., which recorded an average temperature of 83.1°F
(28.4°C). This tied July 1993 for the warmest for any calendar
month on record. Other July monthly temperature records were
broken, or tied, in Atlantic City, New Jersey and Hartford,
Connecticut.
- It was the hottest July on record for
Delaware and
Rhode Island. Along the East Coast,
each state from Maine to Florida ranked in its top ten
warmest. Only
Montana,
Idaho, and
Texas had average temperatures that were below-normal for
the month.
- The Southeast and Northeast
climate regions experienced their third and fifth warmest
July on record, respectively. Of the
nine climate regions within the contiguous U.S., none
experienced an average temperature in the below-normal category.
