July weather extremes break records in U.S.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It was too wet and too dry.
and too cold.
It was too hot and too cold.
It was July 1993, month of extremes in the United States.
How bad it was — or rather how it was bad — depended on where you lived.
nived.
The month was dominated by cool air that moved in from the west, traveled north of the Rocky Mountains and then turned south toward the West North Central states. At the same time, a strong high-pressure area kept the Southeast dry and pushed wet air from the Gulf of Mexico north up the Mississippi Valley.
July rain for the area was 2.02 inches.
courtesy of these two forces converged in the upper Midwest and produced the massive Mississippi Valley flooding while the southern and eastern sections of the nation remained dry.
The result was the wettest July ever for the West North Central states, which averaged 4.85 inches of rain over the region during the month. Some spots got a lot more. Average
in the area was 26.2 inches. And it was the second wettest July in the 99 years of record-keeping for the East North Central states with an average of 5.86 inches of rain over the region. Only 1902 was wetter, averaging 5.95 inches. The normal is 3.61 inches.
On the other hand, it was the driest July on record in the Southwest, which averaged a mere 0.73 inches, well below the normal 1.83 inches.
And the average of 3.34 inches in the Southeast made it the second driest July for that area. Only July 1983 had less rain, 2.94 inches. Normal is 5.56 inches.
July also was a hot and cold month. As swintering farmers and city residents could attest, it was the hottest July on record in the Southeast, averaging 82.7 degrees over the region where the normal July average is 78.6 degrees. It took a lot of readings in the 100-degree plus range to pull that average up.

In the Northwest, though, it was the coolest July on record with an average of just 58.9 degrees.
