Too lazy to look it up, but it probably is. Hot month for sure. Water temperatures off the Atlantic are responding. Now 88 F water off Tybee and Hilton Head. Perfect hurricane fuel.
88 off the NC coast too, 90 at Virginia keys florida. Not sure about your locality specifically but savanna had an average of 86.1, second hottest on record. 86.7 is hottest in 1993.
Absolute high: 29.5C
Average high: 19.1C (+0.0C)
Average: 15.5C (+0.4C)
Average low: 12.0C (+0.9C)
Absolute low: 7.7C
Rainfall: 49.8 mm (-21%) on 18 days (0.3 mm threshold)
Sunshine: 165 hours (+11%)
Technically it's been warmer, sunnier and drier than normal, even though it has felt very mediocre - only 7 days above 20C! The highs were running quite a bit below average until our warm spell between the 18th and 22nd, 29.5C is pretty warm for us and it was followed by a 17.7C low, the warmest July low on record. That was really the only memorable weather event, otherwise nothing of note.
Average minimum: 2.8C (+0.9C)
Average maximum: 13.5C (+0.6C)
Rainfall:93mm on 9 days>1mm (+12mm)
Sunshine: 175 hours. (+15 hours)
Extremes -1/18C
Overall all, a warmer, wetter, sunnier month
Haven't checked Richmond and other spots in your area yet. Kelburn had 158 hours, almost 40 above average and the 3rd highest in its record. New EWS at Napier recorded 189, following nation's high of 175 in June.
Another July that was warmer than normal, especially the lows. Obviously I was away during the impressively cool period at the middle of the month. The precipitation data is weird because I seem to remember quite a few flash rain storms (those were probably very isolated events though, so it changed from neighborhood to neighborhood). No sunshine data as usual but it seemed normal. This month was overall warm and pretty muggy, I think the 20c dewpoint mark was reached quite often.

For Savannah it was the second hottest all-time. Charleston broke the record by 0.1F.
I recorded 7.02 inches of precip and 12 days of precip (using digital gauge data July 1-16 and CocoRaHS gauge July 17-31).
1st 3 weeks were hot and dry, but there were still some t'storms. Then high pressure retreated and we entered a wet spell with high thunderstorm activity. Thunder was recorded 9 consecutive days from July 21-29. Precip at airport ended up above average (my total was well above average.) Temp was above average.
The station near downtown had an average temp of 93.5/74.5 F with 6.42 inches of rain.
I think that the newyorkers here means average max dew point when they say "avg dewpoint", because an average Td of 71F for NY isn't realistic. In fact, according to Ogimet, the average Td this month there was 18.2ºC/65F.

It seems like in US the mean temp is simply calculated with (max+min)/2, is true?
