2011: An unseasonably strong trough of low pressure was centered off the coast of California; this brought a push of cool marine air into the San Joaquin Valley that allowed temperatures to cool to around 10-15° F below normal.
Significant cooling occurred elsewhere throughout the central California interior.

This also occurred on this date in 1972 and on 7.18.2005.

Flooding occurred in Goat Ranch Creek with 5 homes damaged.

1972: It was 94° F in Big Bear Lake, the highest temperature on record.
This also occurred on this date in 1998 and on 7.18.2005.

1970: The high temperature at Reno, NV, was 103° F.
1955: The high temperature in Fresno reached 102° F.
There were only the 4 days all month where the mercury reached into the triple digits in Fresno, which tied 1903 for the least number of days of 100° F or better in the month of July.
The average temperature in July 1955 was 76.2° F, making it the coolest July in Fresno records.
