Western Texas including El Paso experienced very hot conditions.  However, the central Plains were much cooler than normal matching up with areas of cloud cover and above normal precipitation.  The winner was New England with boatloads of rainfall during July. </p><div class=\"captioned-image-container\"><figure><a class=\"image-link image2 is-viewable-img\" target=\"_blank\"
