July 2009 goes down as the hottest month ever recorded, Lower Colorado River Authority meteorologist Bob Rose said Friday.

Prayer request for some relief.

Come up to Northern Michigan. It has been the coldest summer EVER, also setting new records.

July also set a record in Iowa for the coldest July ever. I won’t trade the Texans. The weather has been fantastic for humans—the crops need some heat therms. The tomatoes are not doing well, either.

So hot you can cook PINGS on the sidewalk.

Meanwhile the glaciers are closing in on Chicago (Ohio was pretty cool this July also).

How cold was it? We've got some facts for July (Chicago)

I’ve been praying for you guys! Here’s a little ‘rain relief’ for ya:

I know about Houston and south Texas, but how's the general humidity in and around Austin?

I was reading something about Kerrville the other day, and it was claimed that part of the state isn't "southern" humid.

[bgill]

Oh, no! Algore was right? Naw.

And we here in Northern Illinois are having one of the coldest — if not THE coldest — Summers on record. Today it is overcast, windy, and in the high 60s; more like early Fall than Summer.

We don't have our usual sea breeze to help cool us down in the evening. Without that, no sea breeze showers, either.

Hot temps and no rain begets hot temps and no rain.

Thanks! God Bless Texas

Yea, but up the road 180 miles here in Dallas, we are having one of the coolest, wettest summers in my known history.

Humidity begins to disappear as the heat goes over 100 anyway. It’s pretty bad here in the Bryan-College Station area, with actual temperatures as high as 104, with heat indexes as high as 112. It is a little less humid around the Kerrville area, as the elevation is higher. I you go north you get out of most of the humidity about Abilene.

Coldest July on record Madison, WI

[Jane Long]

It’s George Bush’s fault!

[wolfcreek]

Idiot developers down here (in cahoots with the local water authorities) have sold water rights well into the future and well beyond possible capacity. The other day they decided we won't run out until 2080. MY ASS!

[wolfcreek]

Look at the map on post #17. You can see whose wet and whose not.

Sorry for my fellow freepers in Texas but here in NYC it’s been a relatively mild summer, so far. I don’t think we’ve hit 85º yet this year and we sure have had lots of rain.
