This is the 196th day of the year, there are 170 days left.

On this day...
   Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
   weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
   website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
   In 1936 Extreme heat prevailed across the central U.S. as severe
           drought raged from Texas to the Dakotas.  Record high
           temperatures were established in sixteen states that
           summer, including readings as high as 120 degrees in the
           Great Plains Region.  On this particular date, afternoon
           highs for 113 stations across the state of Iowa averaged
           108.7 degrees.
   In 1955 Lightning forked into the crowd at England's Ascot race track,
           bowling people over "like nine-pins." 2 died, 44 injured.
   In 1957 Hail, with some stones up to an inch in diameter, covered
           the ground to a depth of three inches ruining crops in
           the Bath area of New Hampshire.
   In 1987 Severe thunderstorms in Iowa produced eight inches
           of golf ball size hail near Grafton IA, completely
           stripping corn stalks in the area.  Hail caused more than
           a million dollars damage to crops in Worth and Mitchell
           counties, and another million dollars damage in Ada and
           Crawford counties.  Unseasonably cool weather prevailed
           in the Great Plains Region.  Eight cities reported record
           low temperatures for the date, including Duluth MN with
           a reading of 37 degrees.
   In 1988 Severe thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging
           winds in the Northern Atlantic Coast Region during
           the afternoon and evening hours.  Thunderstorms also
           spawned a rather strong tornado near Westtown NY, and
           drenched Agawam MA with four inches of rain.
   In 1989 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe
           weather from eastern New Mexico to central Nebraska.  One
           hundred soldiers were injured by flying debris and
           collapsing tents during a thunderstorm near Trinidad CO.
           Thunderstorms in Colorado produced wind gusts to 77 mph
           at La Junta.  Early morning thunderstorms produced
           torrential rains over parts of Louisiana, with 7.50
           inches at Carencro, and 5.85 inches at Morgan City.
