Hottest July On Record!

 

Some interesting data from WHNT Meteorologist Jessica Camuto about last month being the hottest July on record for Huntsville: https://whnt.com/weather/valleywx-blog/huntsville-sees-hottest-july-on-record/

 

Additionally, the degree day number for July 2022 was 602. In July 2021, it was 462 (click here for an explanation of degree days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkfpuNCb2Tc)

 

That kind of heat means your air conditioner was probably running quite a bit. As you can see in the graphic sent to us by an employee, their AC ran for over 330 hours last month!

 

The National Weather Service in Huntsville has more 90 degree temperatures in the forecast for this week, so remember these energy saving tips: https://www.hsvutil.org/community_resources/safety___money_saving_tips/smart_consumer_tips.php

 

Also, the government recently launched a new website "to reduce the health, economic, and infrastructural impacts of extreme heat." You can find it at heat.gov.
