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!!!

  1. Great photos. It's been a long time ago that I visited St. L. and the gateway to the west.

    Your weather sounds wonderful. We are under the "hot gun" here. Then again it is summer! I just posted the July data for my location.

  2. You always say "little" brother...don't you know that I'm bigger than you now?? :o)

    I haven't been up the arch since the new Busch Stadium was built. Looks cool.

    Have you ever been to the Millennium Hotel? It's the revolving restaurant just this side of the stadium in your picture. Nicole and I went there once (only because we knew the chef!). Amazing food!! At the end of dinner, they had a fireworks display over the river by chance. Of course, I told her that I ordered that. ;o) And wisely...she didn't believe me.

    Hope this cool weather holds on. I'm in my room now and I'm NOT looking forward to sweating in my dress clothes again!

    Have a great day Ami!
