Forecasters confirmed today that this month has been the second-coldest July on record in the Rochester region.
The coldest July was in 1884, when global temperatures dropped due to emissions from the catastrophic Krakatoa volcano eruptions in 1883. The average temperature in Rochester that month was 65.4 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Buffalo.
Through yesterday, the average temperature in July for the Rochester region was 66 degrees. The normal average for the month is 70.7 degrees, said Weather Service meteorologist Bill Hibbert.
In the past month, the daily average has been in the 60s 23 times and the high was 80 or higher only four times, according to the Weather Service. The lowest average was 60 on July 14, and the highest average was 74 on July 28.
Wohoo! I can't stand the heat/humidity. It would be nice for the rain to stop. This isn't specific to Rochester either, other cities are having record cooler summers as well.
Its working out well for my utility bills too, I don't need heat or air conditioning. We have a family room on the third floor, and up until recently it has stayed halfway decent up there.
You gotta post something positive about the area once in awhile too, it is getting a little depressing.
I'm surprised nobody brought up the tornadoes too, really odd for this area. Good thing if we do get them they are not very strong. Snow and occasional flooding is usually the worst the northeast gets.

[quote=cheese9988;10037929]Ya, I was just going to say that, it is pretty much the entire northern half of the country:
There used to be an explanation for surprisingly cooler temperatures in these days of global warming. I went to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gore_Effect and surprisingly found the page has been deleted!
One reason for deletion of a page is listed as "case sensitive". I bet. Maybe searching Gore Effect in another manner would help.
Bottom line; I think he's spending the summer in the northeast.
