..A VERY DRY AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AUGUST
THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST BEGAN WITH A FEW DAYS OF COOLER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES, WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY A LONGER RELATIVELY WARM PERIOD
THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF THE MONTH. THERE WERE 6 DAYS IN THE 90S
THIS MONTH WITH THE WARMEST TEMPERATURE OF THE MONTH OCCURRING ON
AUGUST 12TH WITH A HIGH OF 91 DEGREES. A UNSEASONABLY STRONG COLD
FRONT SWEPT THROUGH ON AUGUST 24TH/25TH, REPLACING THE HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS WITH MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR THE LAST THIRD OF THE
MONTH. THE LAST 9 DAYS OF AUGUST FEATURED HIGHS IN THE 70S AND LOWS
IN THE 40S. DAILY AVERAGE TEMPERATURE DEPARTURES WERE GENERALLY
SMALL EACH DAY, BUT DEPARTURES ON THE 26TH AND 27TH WERE OVER 10
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. AFTER THE 2ND MOST HUMID JULY ON RECORD,
AUGUST WAS MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IN TERMS OF HUMIDITY AND THE
OVERNIGHT LOWS. THERE WERE 5 NIGHTS IN AUGUST WITH A LOW OF 50 OR
LESS; THE COLDEST LOW TEMPERATURE OF THE MONTH OF 42 DEGREES
OCCURRED ON AUGUST 27TH. THIS LOW TEMPERATURE ACTUALLY SET A NEW
DAILY RECORD, BREAKING THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 45 SET ON AUGUST 27,
1910. ALL IN ALL, AUGUST FINISHED WITH AN AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF
70.7 DEGREES IN FORT WAYNE, WHICH IS 0.9 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL AND
TIES FOR THE 38TH COOLEST AUGUST ON RECORD.
MUCH LIKE JULY, PRECIPITATION WAS VERY HIT OR MISS. MUCH OF THE
MONTH'S RAINFALL TOTAL CAME FROM POP-UP SHOWERS AND STORMS AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED STRONG COLD FRONT TOWARDS THE END OF THE MONTH DID
NOT PRODUCE ANY SUSBSTAINIAL RAIN. IN FACT, UP UNTIL AUGUST 28TH,
FORT WAYNE WAS IN THE RUNNING FOR THE 2ND DRIEST AUGUST ON RECORD. A
TOTAL 0.73" OF RAIN FELL ON AUGUST 28TH, WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR OVER
HALF OF THE RAINFALL FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH AND BOOSTED THE MONTHLY
TOTAL OVER AN INCH. AUGUST TOTALED 1.16" OF RAIN FOR THE MONTH,
WHICH IS 2.64" BELOW NORMAL AND RANKS AS THE 8TH DRIEST ON RECORD.
THIS WAS THE DRIEST AUGUST IN FORT WAYNE SINCE 1984.
