Unsummer 2004!

The summer of 2004 was a cool one. Summer is officially defined as June, July and August and the temperatures for all three of those months were below normal that year:

  • June 2004 -1.5
  • July 2004 -4.0
  • August 2004 -5.1

Anytime an average temperature is plus/minus 4.0 or more from the normal it is significant.

In addition, we broke four record lows that summer, three of which were in the forties, very chilly!

Records set in 2004:

  • June 23rd, 49
  • July 27th, 52
  • August 13th, 47
  • August 15th, 49
