If Only Every July Was Like This One!


Months like this one make me wish I had a weather station like my brother's (WxWatcher). I can't wait to see his summary for July and see what our temperatures looked like. It has felt more like Spring than Summer here in mid-MO this past month. My grass is a beautiful green without the help of a sprinkler, and my tomato plants haven't needed much watering at all. I was even able to sit on my porch swing a few evenings! (I have the mosquito bites to prove it!)



Rain Summary:

I had 13 days with at least a trace of precipitation, 11 were measurable amounts.

Total rain was 4.00"

Over half of my rain was received on two days: 1.12" on 7/12, and 1.18" on 7/17.

Longest dry spell was only 5 days - not bad for a Missouri July!!


A Couple More Pictures:
Here are a couple more pictures from our trip to the St. Louis Arch. They say you can see 30 miles from up top on a clear day. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!!






I hope you all have a blessed weekend!! WxWatcher and our Dad are in Oshkosh at the air show...hopefully he will have some awesome pictures to post when they get home!!!
