Yes, it dawned cloudy and rainy, but 13 C (about 55 F) in July is ridiculous!

FWIW it has been unseasonably warm in the northeastern US (NJ specifically) these past 2 weeks. In the 90's most days and thunderstorms rolling through but doing nothing to break up the heat. I'd take 55 F over 90 anyday, especially since I do landscaping work outdoors during the day.

I hope you're joking. It's been over 100 degrees every day this month in Arizona. And over 110 lately
Edit: I obviously meant June:)

Ridiculously hot. 90some here in WNY, and just like you said, a t-storm rolls through and the next day "drops" to 89*. Just moved into a new house that needs a complete relandscaping. I feel your pain, duck.

The Midwest has had an unusually hot and dry summer this year, combined with the low snow totals from this winter, there is a drought that farmers I talk to claim will take at least 2-3 years to fully recover from.

Lol, Nareed's not a troll. I'd be mentioning 55 in July, too, especially in Mejico.
That drought things a killer. Never really noticed how dependant some could be on rain until I lived in a house with a well. No shower, no toilet, no laundry, no drinks, no cooking, no dish washing... glad to have gone through it. Really made me appreciate water, and I now waste far, far less.

I know, just having fun. But it's hard to think about how cold this summer is when it's supposed to be 97 and humid tomorrow in Chicago.

I heard that. I'd ask boymimbo to send us some cool Canadian relief, but he's close enough to me that he's probably dieing, too.
In any case, 4 more months and we can all cry about the cold and the snow ;)

I laughed a little bit at this thread title.
For what it's worth, I've been sweating my ***** off.
Yesterday, I was tempted to grab some of the hail that fell and roll use them to cool my *****.
Yep. We had hail yesterday. In the middle of mid 90's heat, a thunderstorm rolled thru, and dropped some hail. Temp dropped too. About 5 degrees.....

Try laughing while you hunt for an extra blanket at 3 am when you wake up shivering.
Look, rain, and hail, are common in central mexico in the summer, but also day-time temps of 20-25 C, not 13 C. Mornings tend to be cool, but even 13 C at dawn is considered usneasonably cool. 13 C in the middle of the day is downright ludicrous.
BTW, hail is most common in heavy thunderstorms, which tend to take place in Spring and Summer. The temperature up in the clouds is low to begin with, but something about thrunder clouds favors hail. Hail stones form in the clouds. Snow, on the other hand, is plain rain which crystalizes on the way down

The water in the clouds condenses with the coolness present. As it does so and gets heavy, it begins to fall as rain. The great updraft present in thunderclouds occasionally catches the rain and throws it back up, where it cools further and eventually freezes. That little ice pebble collects more and more moisture as it "rolls" back and forth inside the cloud until it becomes too heavy and falls. Big updrafts make hail, severe updrafts give us baseball sized and bigger. =)

In all fairness, Midwest farmers don't believe in perfect weather anytime. It's always too rainy, too hot, too cold, too dry... I grew up in a family of farmers (though I wasn't one myself) and the weather is always a problem.

I'm with Nareed, it's been a really cold summer. I even have to close my window sometimes or I get too cold. In Seattle we've had a few hot weeks, but it's a much wetter summer than usual.

No one does :)
But farmers sometimes live and die by the weather, or rather prosper or go bankrupt by the weather. IT isn't just rain and drought that affects how plants grow, what pests are likely to turn up, how the soil will erode, etc etc etc.
Which makes me wonder when will hydroponics on an industrial scale be profitable.

I am familiar with the elevation of the city in which I've lived my whole life. And it's even higher in the suburb where I live now.

Yes, average low. Not average daily temperature. It's one thing to have 9-11 C late at night, and quite another to have 10-13 C in the middle of the day.

i was not trying to be a smartass posting the elevation.
i am sure you know your own geography!
you did mention in our original post that the day dawned at that temperature,
which i do not find unusual.
if the high that day was 13C, that is remarkable.
i was actually very surprised when investigating the climate of mexico city,
my perception was that it was hot like vegas, which is clearly not the case.
i am now reading up on it, as i have always taken an interest in mesoamerican cultures
and am now considering a visit.
thanks for your post,nareed, it changed my perception!

Nothing is hot like Vegas, except perhaps Arizona ;)
Lot's of people are surprised. Mexico City is not a hot weather town. It gets hot, towards the low 30s C in late spring sometimes (not this year), but summer is cooler. Partly it's the elevation,a dn aprtly the rain season. It's cloudy most days, and I mean completely overcast. Clouds block sunlight, and that means less heat. it also rains almost every day, sometimes heavily. While this raises the humidity, it also removes a lot of heat from the air. Things actually warm up towards Fall.
Given all that, though, we tend to have highs of 20-25 C throughout summer. And sometimes the Sun does peek from behind the clouds and it gets hot for part of the day. These days with max temps in the mid-to-high high teens C and lows in single digit C are unseasonably cool.

Here in St. Louis, we've been having record or near record highs for a week or more. Here's the data according to Weather.com
Wed 6/27 - 101
Thur 6/28 - 109 (5th hottest day in St. Louis since records kept and hottest June day ever)
Fri 6/29 - 106 (Although I saw 108 recorded by the best local weather guy.)
Sat 6/30 - 105
Sun 7/1 - 103
Mon 7/2 - 100
Tues 7/3 - only 98!
Today 7/4 - 104
The next three days are forecast for 104, 103, & 101 before it drops down to the low 90s, only a few degrees above normal. The lack of rain is killing us too. Most places canceled their fireworks displays due to extremely dry and dangerous conditions.
