Oh, I almost forgot to make this post, it's already the 6th of August. July is done and the last summer month is upon us. Time to see who won the last weather game where you had to guess the July maximum temperature. Congratulations ! You guessed 79F which is 26.1C. The maximum temperature was 27.3C and you were the closest guess. 10 Hive will be sent to you! Thanks to all the other participants who make the game interesting

Weather Game Round 11
In this game, you have to guess the strongest rainfall intensity that happens in August. I haven't done that before. You need to guess the intensity in mm/hr ( millimeters per hour ). For example, 30mm/hr is quite a strong downpour. So try to guess how strong of rain we might get.
A rainfall chart below might give you an idea of how strong rains we get.
One guess per person
The closest guess will win 10 Hive at the start of September.
The game will run until 18-th of August.
July Weather Review
July wasn't a great summer month. Temperatures were mostly on the cooler side in the low 20s. The drought is over that happened in May and June. We got an insane amount of rain here during the month. In fact, we got 17 times more rain than we got in June. More on that below.
Temperature and Humidity
Often July is the warmest month but not this time. Temperatures didn't really get that hot at all this time. The maximum temperature was 27.3C and the monthly average was 16.4C. I have a feeling that August will be warmer. The coldest temperature was 9.1C on the 10th of July.
Humidity is fluctuating all over the place during the month.
Solar radiation and UV
The trend is slightly down now. Our days are still very long but the night gets almost fully dark now. The sun sets an hour earlier than at the end of June. UV averages around 6 during the daytime.
Rainfall
We got a huge amount of rain. 170mm in total. Thats crazy. You can see that 58.2mm/hr was the strongest rain intensity and that rain event was insane. Our capital was flooding and my backyard was more of a lake too. The strongest rain intensity is what you need to guess for the month of August as well.
Wind
Nothing to bring out here, the usual stuff in July. Most of the wind comes from the South it looks like.
Air Pressure
I am going to chase some storms now. Severe weather in Estonia today. Also, very damaging hail has already been reported.
