Summer Temperature Stats Across Indiana

Recently I've read claims that this past summer was the hottest since 1936 or 1949. When we look at the major climatological sites across Indiana, plus a local COOP, well that isn't true at all. The funny thing is that last summer was warmer than this one. The numbers don't lie...
