July 2012 all but a lock to beat 1936 as the hottest July...and hottest month on record for Indianapolis.

Whereas, in July 1936 the extreme heat relented in the last 13 days (only four days of 90º+)...July 2012 will sustain the extreme heat, through what looks like the end of the month. In the end, July 2012 may have this record by a relatively large margin over second place.

July 1936 average temperature: 82.8º

Average temperatures through July 18 for both Julys.

1936: 97.9º/74.6º/86.2º

2012: 97.1º/73.7º/85.4º

Averages for the last 13 days of July 1936: 87.9º/68.0º/78.0º

July has a good chance at becoming the record warmest at Indianapolis. That would only be the second month to be the warmest on record since the official observations were moved from the downtown rooftop site to the airport in 1939. Prior to March 2012, the last record warmest month was August 1936. July 2011 was nearly a record-breaker, but finished a close second to 1936.

July 2012 pretty much a lock to be the warmest on record for Indianapolis.

And 1943 was when they made the airport the official site.

1983

At least that's the highest number I can find for LAF, what with its ton of missing data through the years and all.

I'll take the under on 62. I wouldn't really be shocked if we make it though. FWIW, 1936 had 31 additional 90 degree days from July 29 onward. Mercy.

Waiting on the final max temp for IND today, 94º as of 4:00pm, but it doesn't matter...July 2012 is the warmest July and month on record for Indianapolis, shattering the old record of July 1936 in both cases. Full write up to come in the next day or two.
