Our average high was 86F (30C). Our average low was 65F (18C) I didn't think our old averages really held anymore. Things have been hotter. But our highest temperature in July was 95F (35C), so we don't get broiling hot here, even in our hottest month.

If we are in a hot spell like we are now, then it is every 4 days. But it rains here. On average we get 3-4" (7.5-10cm) a month over the summer, but the reality is that it doesn't come evenly. In July we got about 2" (5cm) of rain. We also have a lot of humidity here so the plants don't lose water as quickly as in drier places.
