...SOAKING RAIN FROM BERYL AND NEAR-NORMAL TEMPERATURES...

A NOTABLE LACK OF 90-DEGREE DAYS WAS PAIRED WITH ABOVE-NORMAL
PRECIPITATION FOR JULY. THERE WERE 14 DAYS THIS MONTH WHERE THE
AVERAGE DAILY TEMPERATURE DEPARTURE WAS BELOW NORMAL. AS A RESULT,
THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES OF 72.5 DEGREES NEARLY MATCHES THE NORMAL
OF 72.4 DEGREES.

FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE JULY 2017, THERE WERE NO 90-DEGREE DAYS
OBSERVED IN JULY. THE MONTH TYPICALLY HAS FIVE 90-DEGREE DAYS.
INSTEAD, THE MAXIMUM OBSERVED TEMPERATURE THIS MONTH WAS 89.

REMNANTS OF HURRICANE BERYL MOVED THROUGH THE AREA ON JULY 9TH AND
10TH BRINGING EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES DUE TO TROPICAL MOISTURE
OVERHEAD. 1.87 INCHES OF RAIN WAS RECORDED ON THE 9TH, FOLLOWED BY
1.06 ON THE 10TH AT SOUTH BEND. ELSEWHERE IN THE FORECAST AREA,
TRAINED SPOTTERS, COCORAHS OBSERVERS, AND THE PUBLIC REPORTED
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 INCHES TO NEARLY 9 INCHES OF RAIN THROUGH JULY
10TH. SEVERAL REPORTS OF FLOODING WERE RECEIVED. THE ST. JOSEPH
RIVER AT SOUTH BEND REACHED A CREST OF 7.6 FEET LATE IN THE DAY ON
JULY 10TH WHICH IS JUST BELOW MODERATE FLOOD STAGE (8 FEET). WIND
GUSTS OF 35 MPH TO 45 MPH RESULTED IN UPROOTED TREES THANKS TO THE
SATURATED SOIL.

SOUTH BEND RECORDED 4.67 INCHES OF RAIN WHICH IS 0.89 INCHES ABOVE
NORMAL. THIS RANKS AS THE 36TH WETTEST ON RECORD.

THERE WERE NO RECORDS SET THIS MONTH.
