Still cool temps here

It's mid-July and I'm still tempted to wear a sweater when I'm outside. Temperatures (at least when I've looked), still haven't topped 68 degrees. I.e. it's cool here if sometimes down right cold. Not that I'm complaining mind you, I don't want a heat wave, but I wouldn't mind if it would get up to 72 degrees or so in the afternoon. Because of the cool temps I yet again won't have many tomatoes. Even the dahlias are slow to grow and bloom this year. Only two dahlia plants out of the 30 or so I have have bloomed so far.

We have cool wet winters that are basically overcast for weeks to months at a time but our summers are normally glorious with sunny skies, windy, warm (not hot) temps, and little rain. But this summer it's been colder than norm and much more overcast then the summers past.

Here's what the Weather Channels says our temps have been in June and what we have to look forward to.
June and July.

And just for your edification (and why I'm NOT complaining) is a picture of a sand storm approaching.
