| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A consistently hot July was noted in Interior Central California denoted by the average high temperature of 101F at Fresno CA. During the month in the Central San Joaquin Valley, Fresno recorded 22 days of 100F or above which ties the 3rd highest number set in 1891. Similar conditions were noted at Bakersfield in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, adjacent foothill locations, and in the Kern Deserts. Furthermore, a relatively consistent wind flow aloft from the southeast brought monsoonal moisture over the area several times during the month providing for high minimum temperatures and several records due to the above normal amount of moist air over the area. Bakersfield in the South Valley tied its overall high minimum temperature with an 86F on the 29th. Several daily rainfall records were set even though amounts may not have been high (the area is not known for having rainfall in the July time period). There were unquantifiable losses to various grape crops on the East Side of the San Joaquin Valley, especially the Flame variety, due to the extended period of time with high heat. |
