Fall-like weather is right around the corner

Today (Friday) is likely to be the hottest day we will experience until next summer.

Cooler air is heading into the region overnight tonight. That will set the stage for a return to cooler and less humid weather.

Temperatures over the weekend and next week will generally top out in the 70s. The following week (week of September 15) daytime highs will only get into the 60s.

I'm going to jail...for a worth cause!

Hey, in less than a week I'm going to jail for Muscular Dystrophy. I need bail money to get out. So far things aren't going well.  I've had a few donations ("Thank You!"), but not enough. They may keep me!

If you can help out with $10, $15, $20+ that would be greatly appreciated. Just click on the link below to go to my page and make your contribution.

Thank you and I hope to be round for awhile.   :-)

T'was a cool July

July 2014 in the Greater Akron area was cooler than normal. The temperature rarely got above 85 degrees and when it did it was for no more than two consecutive days. In contrast, July 2013 was above normal with a string of 90+ degree days.

Here's the bullet points for this year and last:

July 2014

• only on 6 days was the temperature warmer than 85 degrees
• none of the 85+ periods lasted longer than two consecutive days
• the temperature hit 90 degrees only one time and that was on July 1st
• the temperature averaged 1.7 degrees BELOW normal for the month

July 2013

• we had five days when the mercury topped 90 degrees
• these five 90+ days were mid-month and were consecutive
• the highest temperature of the month was 93 degrees
• the temperature averaged 1.4 degrees ABOVE normal for the month

(Information is based on official observations from the National Weather Service Akron/Canton)
