It's worth noting that Indianapolis is going to have their driest July on record with only 0.47" total for the month (previous record was 0.49" set back in 1914). We've faired much better with 3.37" recorded at LAF this month...though 2.23" of it came in the first two days of July. So with Indy's record in mind, I went back and looked at the top 10 driest and top 10 wettest Julys at the West Lafayette COOP (data back to 1901).
