HAPPY VALLEY, OREGON WEATHER: JULY 2019
TEMPERATURES
Though July averaged close to Normal, the month began quite cool as Maximum Temperatures for 3 of the first 6 days remained ≤70°; no day was >80° until the 12th, and the first day to reach ≥85° wasn’t until the 20th. Overall, there were just 5 days reaching ≥85°, only one of these attaining ≥90°, this being the monthly Maximum of 90.2° on the 26th. July Maxima ranged 35.2°, from the High Maximum of 90.2° to the Low Maximum of 65.0° on the 2nd.
Minimum Temperatures were pleasant throughout the month as 28 of the 31 days were ≤60°, with the month’s Minimum reaching 50.3° on the 20th. Overall, 10 days fell to ≤55°. As, usual, Minimum Temperatures didn’t range as much as the Maximum Temperatures – the month’s highest Minimum of 61.7° occurred on consecutive days – the 15th & 16th, these two extremes providing a July range of just 11.4°. The Maximum Diurnal Range was 35.9° on the 20th (86.2°/50.3°) and the Minimum was the 9.2° on the 2nd (65.0°/55.8°), this due to light rain and an unusually heavy cloud cover for this time of year. Splitting the month in two, the Max/Min/Mean Temperatures were thus:
1st-15th – 75.3°/57.1°/66.2°; 16th-31st – 81.2°/55.9°/68.5°.
