Despite more than 50% of June days averaging below normal mean temperature, the mini heatwave towards the end of the month that posted 3 days in the 90s, including a hot day of 99 degrees, was enough to boost the June mean temperature to above normal by 1 degree Fahrenheit for the 30 day period.
The July update shows a similar pattern of a trough off of the northwest coast, which will likely bring a number of cooler than normal days for the month. However, like June, I believe the month will see at least 2 or 3 mini heat waves that could pull the average for the month to slightly above normal.
Here is the July update from the National Weather Service (NWS) showing the cooler than normal pattern in our local region, with an equal chance to see at least some rainfall for the month.
