The Hottest August in 50 years - UW Weather Station Summary
Here is the University of Waterloo Weather Station Summary for August 2010:
The hottest August in 50 years with less than half of the average precipitation
With an overall temperature over 2.5 degrees above average it was the hottest August since 1959. There was little relief from the heat as well, given that there were no days that were significantly (ie. more than 5 degrees) below average.
We still have not seen a month this year that has been below average, making this the warmest first 8 months of the year since 1998, which was the hottest year on record in the area.
It was a dry month with only 36.2 mm of precipitation when the average for August is 87.0 mm. Apart from a couple of days with around 10 mm, the rest of the month's precipitation were just a few sprinkles here and there.
Of course a dry month is going to also put us further behind for the year. So far we have had 534.2 mm in 2010, compared to the average of 596.0 mm at the end of August.
