July, typically the driest month of the year on P.E.I., was the wettest of 2021 so far. There was 134.1 millimetres of rain last month, 68 per cent more than normal. There was one good stretch of beach weather, from July 16-19 the temperature rose above 25 C every day. There was only one other day all month when the temperature passed 25 C.By contrast, in June the temperature rose over 25 C on eight days. While beachgoers may have found the weather disappointing, the Island's potato fields have been thriving in the wet weather.
