 On this day...
    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
    weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1911 The temperature at Painter, Wyoming dropped to 10 degrees,
            equaling the record low for July for the continental US.
    In 1934 The temperature reached 109 degrees at Cincinnati OH to
            cap their hottest summer of record.  The state record for
            Ohio was established that day with a reading of
            113 degrees near the town of Gallipolis.
    In 1975 Six inches of rain fell across Mercer County NJ in just
            ten hours causing the worst flooding in twenty years.
            Assunpink Creek crested eleven feet above flood stage at
            Hamilton and Trenton, the highest level of record.
            Traffic was brought to a standstill, and railway service
            between New York City and Washington D.C. was cut off for
            two days.  Flooding leaft 1000 persons homeless, and
            caused an estimated 25 million dollars damage.
    In 1983 The lowest temperature ever recorded in the world was 129
            degrees below zero at Vostok, Antarctica.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Utah to North
            Dakota, spawning a dozen tornadoes in North Dakota.
            Thunderstorms in North Dakota also produced baseball size
            hail at Clifford which caused four million dollars
            damage, and high winds which toppled a couple of eighty
            foot towers cutting off power to the town of Blanchard.
    In 1988 While cool air invaded the central U.S., unseasonably hot
            weather continued over the western states.  The
            temperature at Spring Valley NV soared from a morning low
            of 35 degrees to an afternoon high of 95 degrees.  Fallon
            NV reported an all-time record high of 108 degrees, and
            Death Valley CA reported their sixth straight day of 120
            degree heat.
    In 1989 Afternoon thunderstorms over Florida produced wind gusts
            to 92 mph at Jacksonville, damaging thirteen light planes
            at Herlong Field.  Five cities in Texas reported record
            low temperatures for the date.  Corpus Christi TX
            equalled their record low for the date with a reading of
            71 degrees, and then tied their record high for the date
            that afternoon with a reading of 97 degrees.
