summer heat

the summer's just about over. it has cooled off a bit, but the humidity is still gross here in virginia. the recap:

Norfolk's August average temperature of 80.1 degrees ranked the month as the ninth-warmest August in that city's record. Like Richmond's warmest August, Norfolk experienced its warmest in 1900.

Meanwhile, Norfolk's average high of 86.6 for August was only slightly above normal.

The 101 degrees Norfolk saw on July 27 was the Hampton Roads city's first 100-degree-or-higher reading since July 1995.

i did recently have a discussion that this past summer was not among the hottest that i can remember. officially, the ninth-warmest.
