THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE...SUMMER IS MISSING! by Brian Wilkes

The high temperature in Indianapolis Wednesday was only 68 degrees - not only 18 degrees below normal but a record low - high temperature. The previous record was 70 degrees set back in 1996 (updated by the NWS Indy late Wednesday). This is the third time this month that a record low / max temperature record has fallen. July 2009 has yet to produce a 90 degree high - the last time that occurred was July 2004.

If the temperature doesn’t rise to 90 degrees before the end of the month, it will be the first time in Louisville history that the 90 degree mark hasn’t been reached in July.
