The last few months have been just plain old hot.  June of 2008 has gone into the record books as the HOTTEST June of all-time in Austin, Texas.  The records date back to the mid 1800's and the average temperature at Camp Mabry in Austin was 87.4 degrees.  Not only did that break the old mark, it is the ONLY time in the data set...that the average for June even reached 87 degrees...
and we were nearly a half a degree hotter than that!  
 
In climatology terms...that's actually a LARGE span!!!
 
There's a great site that tracks monthly climate averages all across the country.

What I like best, is they provide you with a map...and instead of having to type in a particular city or location...
you can just position your mouse over any city...and the data instantly pops up!
 
You can choose your month, and whether you want minimum temps or maximum temps!
