August Weather

Since it was a slow day at work and nothing else of any significance happened yesterday, I thought it would be appropriate to review our weather for the month of August. One of the main attractions of this area, aside from its beauty, is the beautiful weather. With only today and tomorrow left in the month, we have had 23 days with highs in the 80's. There have only been 4 days where the high was 90 degrees or higher, and the highest temperature we reached was 93 degrees on August 8.

The lows for the month are another reason why folks love this area - especially for sleeping at night. We went into the 40's for our low temperature a total of 19 days. There were 2 days we even went into the high 30's, and there were only 8 days where we only went as low as the 50's at night or early morning.

Measurable rainfall for the entire month has only been .01 inches. It's hard to imagine anyplace in the country where the weather during the summer months is any better. The forecast for the last 2 days of the month, today and tomorrow, is for a chance of rain, but given the weather so far this month, it can't change the overall statistics by very much.

Our plan for the day is to take a trip to Idaho Falls to take care of some necessary business that can't be accomplished here and we always look forward to taking drives anywhere in this beautiful area...
