Two Week July Weather Records Amid Heat and Rain
The latter half of July brought unprecedented heat, yet crops largely escaped damage due to plentiful June rainfall stored in the soil. The article lists daily max, min, and rainfall figures for July including record highs, with overall monthly totals and an end-of-month summary.
