The climate of July 1911 in the Great Basin was generally fair and cool, with cooler weather in the Wasatch Mountains and eastern portions of the basin. Local thunderstorms caused some flooding in limited areas. The month was favorable for agricultural and manufacturing activities due to light precipitation and few rainy days, allowing for uninterrupted field work and safe harvesting. The cool weather reduced evaporation on arid farms while maintaining normal crop growth and maturation. The basin experienced an average of 16 clear days, 10 partly cloudy days, and 5 cloudy days, with more clear days in the middle and western portions. Wind movement was generally light. The mean temperature was 69°, 2.5° below the normal, with the lowest temperatures occurring in the first decade of the month. Daytime temperatures were not excessive, and a few warm days were reported around the middle of the month. The average precipitation was 0.62 inch, 0.17 inch below the normal, with most rain falling in moderate showers. Local thunderstorms caused significant rainfall in southern Utah and western Nevada, leading to flooding in some areas. The rainy period lasted about two weeks, with the majority of rain falling in the middle and western portions in the last two weeks of the month. Thunderstorms were numerous in the northern and western portions, particularly severe in certain localities. No snow fell during the month, and water remained plentiful for irrigation and other purposes. The article also discusses the variability of precipitation over large and limited areas, attributing it to factors such as proximity to mountain ranges, elevation, latitude, and proximity to bodies of water.The climate of July 1911 in the Great Basin was generally fair and cool, with cooler weather in the Wasatch Mountains and eastern portions of the basin.
