July was considerably warmer than average and is ranked second compared to the past (after July 2017) in the nationwide series of temperature measurements since 1950. In some areas this was the warmest July with regard to maximum daily temperatures whereas for minimum daily temperatures it is not ranked high, since nights in the coastal plain and the valleys were not especially warm and in some of the stations it was even close to average.

It should be noted that the first part of July was, in fact, close to average, but starting from July 12th an unusual long heatwave prevailed and it only ended near the end of the month.
