Beschreibungen/Notizen
During July, rapidly intensifying drought gripped the central and southern Plains and mid-South, depleting topsoil moisture and significantly stressing pastures and crops. Extreme heat with monthly temperatures on the southern Plains locally averaging more than 5 °F above normal accompanied the lack of rain. Several other areas, including the Northeast and portions of the Midwest, experienced drier-than-normal July weather. However, much of the Midwest avoided extreme heat. In fact, near- to slightly below-normal monthly temperatures were commonly observed in the Great Lakes states. Typical July dryness prevailed in the Northwest and along the Pacific Coast, allowing several large wildfires to flourish. By early August, wildfires had charred 5.8 million acres of vegetation nationwide, substantially above the 10-year average of 3.7 million acres.
