During July, visits to this blog were received from the following 24 countries*:


The number of countries (24) compares with only 16 countries in July 2019. For all years, the total number of countries from which visits have been received remains at 130.

Despite fewer days with rain, there was more total rainfall in July than there was in June. Reminiscent of the dry season, there were several days in the middle of July with little or no rain and a substantial amount of sun. Temperatures bordered on hot, albeit with low humidity.

Apparently, the phenomenon arrived a bit late. Normally it occurs in June.

Here’s a video I made of a thunderstorm at our house in July:
