July has been hot, but right about normal. This July was actually a little cooler than last year, but drier as well.

July winds were actually pretty calm, most winds over 20 mph were of short duration.

We have likely seen our hottest weather for the year. And history says the evenings will be cooler in August than in July.

June Weather Report

Last month I stated that "the El Nino pattern that has dominated Toquerville weather this year, has now passed." That turned out to not quite be true. June was unusually cool, crops and fruit are well behind their normal course. Historically, El Nino's influence continues through June and into early July.

Avg high temp = 92.5 (2009, 89)
Avg Low temp = 63.0 (2009, 63)
Avg wind speed = 17 (2009, 16)
Avg humidity = 22% (2009, 23)
Total rain = .18 inches (2009, .06)
Days above 100 degrees = 6 (2009, 5)

With the year half over, Toquerville has received 8.77 inches of rain, well above the annual average of 7 inches.
