July proved correct the old adage that if one wishes different weather in Wisconsin, just wait a couple of days. In the far north the month started off cool and dry.

And by the end of the month we hit a spell of good haying weather. The weather forecasters are talking about a dry August and the possibility of what they call a flash drought. But because weather forecasting, like sports prognostication, is steady work, we will just need to wait and see.
