As months go, August 2016 was pretty
average. We had 15 days that were above the average temperatures of
89
ºF.
With a combine average of 79.3ºF
versus a 30 year historical average of 76.5ºF,
it was easy to see that those warmer nighttime temperatures were
something to be concerned about. (After all, the only true
measurement of Global warming comes from just how low the temps drop
during the nighttime)! That said, one must remember that my weather
station is just one single dot of data and really did not mean much
when data from all over the world is looked at...
Rainfall,
at 2.01 inches was considerably behind the 'normal average' of 3.41
inches. That merely reflected the mini drought we were in for the
entire year. Something that had since been corrected with the
flooding rains of April and May of 2017! As of August 2017, we were
still about 4 inches ahead of the average. That was the good news, the bad news is that all the other months, thus far, had fallen short of the average for rainfall.
