Indeed. After I thought aboutI realized if 90º is the average high for the month of July, it's likely that significantly more than half the days in July will be see 90º or higher. To illustrate, let's say the first and last few days of the month average highs are 89º, for an equal number of days around the middle of the month average highs of 91º and the rest, say two weeks the average high is 90º. So that's 90º or above for perhaps 3 weeks of the month...

Right now at 7:30am, it's 77º and only expected to reach 93º (heat index of 100º). Excpectations have been exceeded the past few days though...
