REMARKS...

BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WERE SEEN TO BEGIN AND END THE MONTH...
BUT SUMMER HEAT WAS STILL AN ISSUE AT TIMES. HEAT INDICES PEAKED
AROUND 105 DEGREES ON AUGUST 8 AND 9...THEN FROM 100 TO 105 DEGREES
FROM AUGUST 15 THROUGH 17. STILL THE STRETCHES OF COOL WEATHER WERE
LONG ENOUGH THAT AVERAGE TEMPERATURES FOR THE MONTH ENDED UP BEING
BELOW NORMAL. MORE THAN HALF OF THE MONTH`S RAINFALL CAME DURING
THE PREDAWN TO EALRY MONRING HOURS ON AUGUST 10.
