Where did you come up with this number? KCON's average high is 81 in early August, and my crude observations over the past 10 years suggest that temps generally run about 2-3 degrees cooler at the lake than in Concord. So, I'd guess that an "average" high at the lake is about 78-79ish in mid summer.
I believe most lake goers, for one reason or another, have a skewed perspective on what "average" weather is on the lake in the summer. With the average high at 79, the probability of a 90 degree day is about the same as the probability of a day which never gets over 68.
And just for the record, KCON was 1.1 degrees above normal in July, and has been above normal for each of the first 3 days of August so far.
