Was your 3rd of July cool, not hot – That’s not a surprise

July 3rd afternoon temperatures have been declining in the US since the 19th century, and likelihood of hot weather has declined.

On this date in 1911, almost 30% of the US was over 100F – with one hundred degree temperatures stretching from California to Maine. Missouri had temperatures over 110 degrees, Iowa 109 degrees, and New York 104 degrees.
