Once again, record heat was experienced across the Tennessee Valley. The recorded high temperature at Lovell Field was 103 degrees, which surpassed the old record of 100 set in 1983. We are still on pace for the hottest August on record with an average temperature of 85.9 degrees. The current record belongs to August 1993 with an average of 82.5, so we are currently well above the number. August 2007 could also go down as the hottest month ever recorded in Chattanooga.
Now for some "cool" thoughts to ease the heat:
- Today's Record Low: 55 (1956)....It is possible to actually have cooler weather this time of year!
- Autumn is only 31 days away
- The average date of the first frost is October 21st (just 2 months away)
- Yesterday's high temperature at Mt. LeConte, TN (elevation 6600 ft) was only 72.
