HOT AND HUMID JULY
LAST YEAR, WE ENJOYED A COOLER THAN NORMAL JULY WITH NO 90 DEGREE
DAYS. THIS YEAR, THE WEATHER WAS MUCH MORE TYPICAL FOR JULY WITH
MULTIPLE UPPER LEVEL RIDGES SETTING UP OVER THE MIDWEST AND GREAT
LAKES REGIONS. HOT AND HUMID WEATHER DOMINATED FOR A MAJORITY OF THE
MONTH, ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE MONTH. THERE WERE
9 DAYS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S IN FORT WAYNE. THE HOTTEST
TEMPERATURE THIS MONTH WAS 95 DEGREES ON JULY 24TH. AS FOR THE
HUMIDITY, THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE STRETCH OF VERY HUMID CONDITIONS
FROM JULY 24TH THROUGH 30TH. DURING THIS TIME, THERE WERE 106
CONSECUTIVE HOURS OF DEWPOINTS AT OR GREATER THAN 70 DEGREES! THIS
RUN IS THE LONGEST ON RECORD FOR DEWPOINTS AT OR GREATER THAN 70
DEGREES FOR JULY AND IS THE 5TH LONGEST STRETCH ON RECORD FOR ANY
MONTH OF THE YEAR. DEWPOINT DATA AT KFWA DATES BACK TO 1948.
OVERALL, JULY FINISHED WITH AN AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF 76.5 DEGREES,
WHICH IS 2.7 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THIS TIES 2002 AND 1919 AS
THE 18TH WARMEST JULY ON RECORD AND THE WARMEST SINCE 76.9 IN 2020.
AMID VERY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS, THUNDERSTORMS WERE WIDELY HIT OR
MISS IN AND AROUND FORT WAYNE THIS MONTH. RAINFALL WAS VERY
EFFICIENT FOR LOCATIONS THAT WERE ABLE TO GET STORMS. FOR INSTANCE,
ON JULY 30TH, HARLAN, IN RECEIVED OVER 4" OF RAIN (ON NE SIDE ALLEN
COUNTY, IN) WHILE THE FORT WAYNE AIRPORT ONLY GOT 0.08" (SW SIDE OF
ALLEN COUNTY, IN). THERE WERE ONLY 2 DAYS THIS MONTH WHERE DAILY
RAINFALL TOTALS WERE OVER A HALF INCH: JULY 25TH AND JULY 31ST. JULY
2025 HAD 2.15 INCHES OF RAIN THIS MONTH, WHICH IS 1.90 INCHES BELOW
NORMAL AND TIES (1995, 1932) AS THE 25TH DRIEST MONTH ON RECORD.
THIS WAS COMPARABLE TO 2.14 INCHES RECORDED IN JULY OF LAST YEAR.
OTHERWISE, THIS IS THE DRIEST JULY SINCE 1.12 INCHES IN 2016.
NO NEW RECORDS WERE SET THIS MONTH.
