2009: A long period four foot south swell generated high surf and strong rip currents from this day to 7.26.
Eight to ten foot surf with sets to 12 feet were observed at many south facing beaches, and sets up to 20 feet reported in the most favorable locations.
The high surf also generated strong rip currents, which were responsible for hundreds, or even thousands, of rescues throughout Southern California.
Structural damage and one death occurred.
1998: Bridgeport (Mono Co.) recorded 2" of precipitation.
1996: Surf from 7-10 feet with sets to 12 feet occurred from this day to 7.26.
It was generated by an intense South Pacific storm south of Tahiti.
More than 500 rescues were made at Southern California beaches.
1956: Strong monsoon flow hit the region with thunderstorms each day from 7.23 to 7.28, even west of the mountains.
On this day an evening thunderstorm hit Barstow with an estimated one inch of rain in 30 minutes.
Heavy rain also hit Joshua Tree city and roads were washed out.
Flash flooding hit San Bernardino, Riverside and Ontario.
In Apple Valley, floodwaters reached depths of two to three feet.
A severe thunderstorm dropped hail "almost the size of baseballs" and very strong winds at Joshua Tree National Monument.
1942: Today it reached 117° F at Las Vegas, NV, establishing an all-time record high. This would be tied on June 30, 2013.
1931: Searing heat in the San Joaquin Valley.
Many locations saw highs of 110° F or better, mainly between the 21st through 26th.
Highs on this date reached 114° F at Bakersfield, 113° at Hanford, 112° F and 111° F at Wasco.
1928: The high temperature at Sierraville, CA, (Sierra Co.) was 104° F. Reno, NV, was 102° F.

2005: Half Moon Bay had a high temperature of 82° F.
1998: A severe thunderstorm formed near Sloan, NV, and moved north into the Las Vegas Valley.
Lightning from the storm struck five rescue personnel as they rendered aid to occupants of an overturned truck along Interstate 15 near Sloan.
As the storm moved north, outflow winds estimated at 65-70 mph were observed by a NWS meteorologist near Lake Mead Drive and Interstate 15. Before dissipating, the thunderstorm produced another lightning strike which set fire to an apartment building in Henderson, NV.
1998: Bridgeport (Mono Co.) recorded 2" of precipitation.

More than 500 rescues were made at Southern California beaches.
1984: Unusually warm nights were the norm for all of July 1984 in San Diego. This day marked the 18th day in a row of record high minimum temperatures, while 25 days in the month set records for the highest overnight temperatures on record.
Overnight lows in the city averaged 72.6° for the entire month (7.2 degrees above normal!), and failed to fall below 70° for the only time since records began in 1874.
Unusually warm ocean waters associated with the 1982-1984 El Niño were likely a contributing factor, with the water temperature at Scripps Pier consistently above 70° throughout the month.
1956: Strong monsoon flow hit the region with thunderstorms each day from 7.23 to 7.28, even west of the mountains.

A severe thunderstorm dropped hail "almost the size of baseballs" and very strong winds at Joshua Tree National Monument.
A Marine Corps party was pelted.
1955: Hundreds of homes and businesses in Las Vegas, NV, are damaged by floodwaters that are 4 feet deep in the Twin Lakes subdivision.
Property damage is estimated at $3 million.
