Bye-Bye July

It's time to say, "Good-bye" to the month of July.  It was indeed a toasty one, just like most of the summer so far.

According to statistics from the National Weather Service and NOAA, here is what July did for us nationwide:

• 171 all time highs were broken or tied
• Over 4,000 daily high temperatures were either tied or broken
• July produced the lowest number of tornadoes since 1951

In addition, this summer is on track to be at least the 3rd hottest summer since 1950 and may end up higher than that.

As for the greater Akron area, so far this summer we have had 22 days when the mercury hit 90 degrees or higher. By the way, there's more of that to come!

I think I'm looking forward to Fall.
