That type of question is dangerous though, because the human lifespan is such that if we write it off as being possibly cyclical and “just a phase”, most of us probably won’t live long enough to know for sure if that’s true.
Somehow we escaped that stretch without a 90 at PIT or even a daily record. Still, it was miserable. 88, 85, 89 to start October. The 80 at PIT on 11/2/2016 also comes to mind, though it looks like that didn’t extend to central PA.
The max of 85 here (PIT) for September, which should hold, is the lowest since 2009. But likewise, a lot of Septembers in the 2000s that didn’t get to 85 here.
Lots of time for that fantasy range stuff to change. Seasonable and fairly dry otherwise. EC is on board too. Monday could make a run at 80 but I don’t mind that if it’s short-lived.
