Weather stats for August, what a roller coaster it was!!

Weather stats for August.  Very interesting month that was way below normal for 
the first half and way above normal for the last half. Luckily, we had average 
temperatures at best during the main June/July window of summer or we could of 
had some serious issues with this extended heat at the end of summer.  Things are
holding well at this time but we still want to error on the side of caution until we get back to more
normal temperatures
