When it comes to the blog my goal is to always write something about weather, but this time I will stray slightly.

Wednesday, Lindsey and I visited Hacker’s Golf & Games in Niles for the Fox Hunt. It was so much fun! We met a lot of great people and we appreciate that so many of you took the time to come out and see us. If you want to watch video of Lindsey and me at Hackers, check out her blog.

Now to the weather stuff. During my time out at Hacker’s, some people asked me about the weather and when it was going to warm up. Some one else mentioned that it seemed like a cool summer. In truth, the summer has actually been pretty normal. The average high in June is 79.6 degrees with an average low of 58.3. When you average those two numbers, you get a monthly daily average of 69. Through June, the monthly average turned out to be 69. When you break the number down, the average daily high all month long was 78.5…or 1.1 degrees below normal.

June was able to be a normal month because of the big swings in temperatures. It started out cool, then heated up near the end.

We are now in July and so far it has been below the normal. According the National Weather service, this is the coldest start to July since records started in 1893. So far, July is 8.5 degrees below the normal of 72.3 degrees. Of course, the month just started so we will have to see what happens.
