July continues Portland's trend of hot summer weather! The average high, low and mean temperatures at PDX for the month were all the second warmest on record:
AVERAGE HIGH: 86.7 - 6.1 degrees above normal
AVERAGE LOW: 61.1 - 3.3 degrees above normal
AVERAGE MEAN: 73.9 - 4.7 degrees above normal
Total rainfall for the month was near normal at .57", just .08" below average.
You may recall that June set the record at PDX for being the warmest all-time in all three temperature categories. Depending on August, we may be experiencing the warmest summer in Portland's recorded history.
Forecast outlooks call for above normal temperatures during the months of August & September.
