hottest month of the year?

Not nearly as wet a weekend as it might have been; next weather story- much cooler, less humid air for the end of this week.
Right now, August is in first place for the warmest month of the year, depending on location, by about 2-4 degrees. It has been the only month to bring us any sustained summer weather. However, much cooler temperatures are expected to end the month (or at least the week). Will these be chilly enough to knock the month out of first? I don’t think so, but they will certainly lower the average.
There is nothing unusual about the end of August being cooler than the beginning; it’s part of our seasonal transition.
