Forecasters that I listen to leaned more toward a cooler than normal summer. Well, how have we done here in Louisville?
Counting today, we have had 49 days at or above 90 degrees this year. For the summer, technically 44 days. Still above average.
For the summer, how does this summer compare to other summers so far?
Jun - 77.3 avg (hi/lo)
Jul - 83.3
Aug - 79.5
AVG - 80.03 degrees
Therefore, this summer in Louisville is on track to be about the 3rd or 4th hottest on record. However, termperatures are expected to cool down somewhat over the next several days.
My own projection shows Louisville's summer of 2011 will go down as possibly the 4th or 5th hottest summer of all time.
Next, as for precip, as of yesterday, Aug 23, we had surpassed 47" for the year, nearly 16.5" above normal. In fact, according to the latest 1981-2010 normals, we should average about 45" in an entire year.
Louisville needs to surpass 56.31" to claim a spot in the top ten wettest years on record.
