July in Truro...
July is a month when the sun remains near its highest transit in the sky. The longest day was June 21st and the days are now very slowly shortening while our surrounding waters continue to soak up the solar energy, bringing us our warmest month of the year.
The warming trend continues with temperatures up 6 degrees from June. According to past records, we expect an average temperature of 70°F, with average lows of 62°F and highs of 79°F. We traditionally get a total of only 1.8 inches of rain (about 1/3 drier than June).
Below are some of the activities and events happening about town this month.
