Louisville's Heat So Far This Summer

Today is July 22. We've had 15 days now in the month of July with temperatures at or above 90 degrees. For the year, including April and May, we have now reached the 90 degree mark 28 days.

Prior to today, the month of July was averaging 82.0 degrees (includes high and low temperatures), good enought for tying 7th all-time hottest July ever. However, the dewpoint, to my knowledge, has not breached the 80 degree mark for as many hours as it has this year compared to prior years (so far, I've calculated 19 hours of at least 80 degree dewpoint this month).

Remember last summer? The month of June 2010 was the hottest ever, July was the 3rd hottest, and August was the 3rd hottest. 2010 was also the hottest summer on record (Jun-Aug) including an astounding 85 days at or above 90 degrees for the calendar year.
