| STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Aug. 3 (UPI) -- A meteorologist in Pennsylvania has documented what many people in the U.S. Northeast and Midwest already sensed -- the weather in July was not very summerlike. SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS Jesse Ferrell, a meteorologist with AccuWeather.com in State College, Pa., found more than 1,100 daily record low temperatures were broken in July nationwide when he checked the National Climatic Data Center records. Several Midwestern cities reported their coldest July on record. Madison, Wis., had an average temperature of 65.7 degrees, breaking the previous record of 66.7. Cincinnati, Chicago and Jackson, Ky., also broke records. South Bend, Ind., broke its previous record with an average temperature of 68.3 degrees. South Bend had no temperature higher than 86 degrees in July, the second time this has happened in recorded history.
