January 3rd RECORD HIGH TIED 65 F. in 1997. February 25th RECORD HIGH of 79 F. Breaks the old record of 76 in 1930 March 8th RECORD HIGH of 86 F. beats the old record for this date of 75 in 1974. This is also the highest temperature ever so early in the season. It's never been above 82 before March 12th. March 9th RECORD HIGH of 79 F today breaks the old record for this date of 77 in 1964. May 6th 90 F TIED RECORD HIGH in 1986. May 7th RECORD HIGH of 92 F beat the old record of 89 in 1959. May 8th RECORD HIGH of 91 F broke the old record of 90 in 1936. JULY- First July Ever without any 90 degree days. The highest temperature was 89 F on the 10th of July. The thermometer tried to get to the 90 degree mark the last 2 days of the month reaching 88 F both days but clouds probably helped to break the record. It felt like it was in the 90's with a lot of high humidity, dew points and a heat index of 98. The only other time we came close to not having any 90 weather in July was in 1947 when the temperature hit 91 on the 30th for the only 90 degree day of the month. Even the coolest July on record in 1920 had two 90 degree days. In 1907 only three 90 degree days occurred for the entire year but two of those happened in July. July's temperature averaged out to be 72.1 F. Not the coolest ever but it came in as the 6th coolest ever. This is a great contrast from last July 1999 when we had the record for the most 90 degree days for the month of July or any month with 23 days 90 or higher.
