Our low only dropped to 53F. I thought there'd be 40s this morning, but I thought it would out here.  Strange too, because it was already down to 55F here at 11:30.  Awesome to see records broken and to see 40s anywhere close in July.

 

Edit, NOAA site shows a 50F low at KOKV at 6:15.  Usually the wxbug station is identical, but not today.

I just have to report the following observation:

 

Since March 2013, the weather around here has been f******g awesome (unless you're a severe weenie... sorry, Ian).

 

I guess it's payback for having to suffer from March 2010 through Feb 2013.  That was a 3 year nightmare..... although to be fair, Dec 2010 and stretches of winter 2013 were ok out here.

I think I have this right - coldest July temp at IAD since 2002 and the coldest for the 2nd half of the month since 1985.

Yep. Legit. Dulles* records are never good enough on their own. ;)

I did dig on a match for yday.. had to go back to July 2001 to find it. 

 

Remarkable (though intuitive) that 80% of days in the 70s or lower in July at DCA have featured rain http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2014/07/30/tuesday-was-washington-d-c-s-nicest-july-day-in-over-a-decade/

 

Nice article, Ian.  One question... in your article you stated ..."July days with highs in the 70s or lower...."  Has there actually been a July day in DC with temps (highs) in the 60s?

11 of them.  Mostly pre-airport location, but there are some more "recent"

 

7/30/72 - 68

7/29/01 - 68

7/24/97 - 69

 

All were rainy days.
