Here’s the list. The warmest in the threaded record is 62 in 1921. We also continue to climb the list of consecutive days without dropping below 64. Today will move us into 5th place on that list, and it’s already the longest streak since 1921. Looking at the extended, 2nd place is a guarantee and 1st place is very likely.

Is it too early in July to mention that every single July in the period of record so far at the airport site has made it into the 50s (or 40s) at least once?

I was just trying to help him correct his data.

Just wanted to point out your “max 90 or above (since April 1)” is wrong. It says 1, but you’ve had 3.

We managed a Mickey Mouse below normal day today.

Next chance might be next weekend, but even if it happens that’s a long way off and by then we’ll be at 28 days and in 2nd place behind the 1916 streak.

Today will be the 18th consecutive day that the official low temperature at PIT has not dropped below 64, tied for 12th longest on record and tied for 2nd longest at the current airport site. Record is 32 days in 1916, record at the airport is 19 days in 1995. I think there’s a slight chance PIT can get to 63 tonight, but if not, this streak could continue for quite some time.

Why even engage with this lunatic?

Appears the 80+ streak may already be in jeopardy. Not ruling it out yet.

Yesterday was the 9th consecutive day the temperature at PIT didn’t drop below 69. That’s the longest streak on record at the airport. Could add another day to that today, depending on what the temp is at 1am.

I assume today’s average should be enough to allow us to jump past 1994 and 1967 to be the hottest June recorded at Pittsburgh International?

Assuming this morning’s low of 71 holds, it’ll be the 15th time on record that Pittsburgh hasn’t gone below 71 for at least 6 consecutive mornings, the first since August 13-18, 1995 (which is the only other time that’s happened since observations moved to PIT airport in 1952, and the first time it’s ever happened in June. Edit 10:20 pm: alas, it wasn’t to be. The storms killed it and dropped us below 71 this evening.

I’ll post your daily summaries for the 3 days you weren’t here: Monday: high 92.1, low 75.7 (+10) Tuesday: high 93.1, low 76.6 (+11) Wednesday: high 91.6, low 73.4 (+9)

We also had 5 day stretches in both July and August last summer, which I know doesn’t technically negate your statement. The only other time we had 5 day streaks of 90 degree temps in 3 consecutive summer months (not necessarily the same summer) was July and August of 1887 and June of 1888.

If this morning’s low of 74 holds, it’ll be the first time Pittsburgh International hasn’t dropped below 74 for three consecutive days, and the first in the threaded record since 1930.
