Well between our two locations will have quite a bit of difference. The A/C was almost never on up here and windows open nightly.
July will not be remembered as being warm or hot, thats for certain. Chilly, probably not but July isn’t a month that is chilly even below normal. Cool maybe? Cool and damp? But for sure it won’t be remembered as warm or deep summer.
The other thing is I do think the public believes it was a colder than normal July (it was, ha). But the daytime highs were colder than normal a LOT and that’s going to lead to perception in the public.
Focusing on the nights is weird because in the winter we always talk about what people perceive when they are awake and out/about. Same in summer, if it’s 72F for a high but 65F for a low, people are like it wasn’t hot today. In the winter we get those above normal months that are perceived cold because daytimes were chilly.
