August 2007 is by far the warmest on record for Memphis! (lucky me)
Avg daily high --- 99.1 degrees!! 8 degrees higher than normal average.
(previous record 97.6 - 1980)
Avg daily temp -- 88.6
(previous record 87.2 - 1980)
This is where it gets good....
9 straight days of 100 plus weather
10 days when record hi temps were reached
(previously only 3 dates reached in 1943)
28 consecutive days of 95 plus!! OMG! I KNOW you are jealous now!!
13 days of 100 plus....
106 highest August temp EVER!!!
0 number of days when the high was AT or BELOW normal.
*sarcasm* I really must say how much I LOVE this city... someone, please, send us some cold air!!
I am REALLY glad that August is over. Our averages for next week are predicted to be in the lower and mid 90s. I can't wait.
I must move away...
