Much of the country experienced higher than average temperatures in July. |
To follow up last week's post about July's extreme heat, here is another NOAA article about the heatwave that much of the country experienced.
- "41 of the lower 48 states had above-normal, much-above-normal, or a record warmest July."
- "The South climate region -- Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas -- had its warmest single calendar month for any climate region on record."
- "Exceptional drought, as defined by the U.S. Drought Monitor, covers more than 75 percent of Texas (201,436 sq mi)."
Record high (day and night) temperatures across the US. |
