Question for you: the equipment used in 1894 - was it sited in the same location as your current weather station and did it have an Asperger fan or whatever you called it?
-
Cool, now do East Nantmeal, hotshot.
-
Operational models and ensembles do show a pretty strong troughing signal over eastern Canada in that timeframe. Maybe it spills into PA, maybe it doesn’t.
-
15th straight July at MDT in the top half of all Julys on record.
-
Statistically it would make sense that there are a lot more days that reach exactly 90 vs. 91 vs. 92, etc., and that the further the departure from normal, the fewer days will top out at that exact temperature. So it’s disproportionate in a way that the mathematical explanation makes sense.
-
90/50 at that. Rare combo in these parts.
-
Seems the rain overcame the dry air pretty easily. Even got a lightning strike just now.
-
This warmth just keeps hanging on. Went to bed with a forecast of low 60s, woke up to see it’s still 70 at PIT at 6am.
-
Surging way past the NWS forecast high of 78 at PIT (now at 84) because of the rain failure thus far. Looks like we should get some rain after all.
-
Tomorrow seems like a sure bet but who knows anymore. Edit: aaaaand, now it doesn’t. This is getting comical.
-
The last time Pittsburgh strung together 4 straight 93+ days was the first 4 days of August 2002.
-
Second half of summer 1995 was absolutely brutal, so it’ll be tough but this seems doable.
-
Coming into today, we were even with August 1995 for hottest month at Pittsburgh International with a mean temp of 77.7. That should go up to about 77.9 or 78.0 after today, but will likely go down in the coming days.
-
93
-
Yet another 91 in the books.
-
It’s crazy. Dewpoints mix into the low 60s at ASOS sites and then you check the dewpoints on nearby PWS and it’s still close to 70.
-
Don’t dewpoints typically run high on PWS?
-
This is the first time AGC has hit 96 or higher since 7/7/2012.
-
Up to 91 at PIT. That’s the 13th day of 91 or above so far this season, which is tied for the 6th highest total of 91+ days through today’s date behind only: 1. 1876 (19) 2. 1988 (18, only year at Pittsburgh International with more 91+ days on or before 7/15) 3. 1880 (18) 4. 1881 (15) 5. 1911 (14) and tied with 1966 (13). The magnitude of heat may not be extreme, but the number of days is up there with some of the hottest summers Pittsburgh has ever experienced.
-
Officially 90 at PIT already.
-
Couple of 91 5-min obs. Done deal.
-
Impressive that not a single one of the 90s so far has been by the skin of our teeth, all of them have gotten to at least 91.
-
Bit of a strange route to 90 at that. 5-min obs of 90 (probably 89) at 2:30, then down to 85 at 2:51, now back up to 89 or 90. Edit: 90 is official on the daily climate report. Actually reached 91 after 5pm.
-
Today was the first day where the normals are 83/64, which is the highest they go. They’ll stay at 83/64 until the 28th, then it’s all downhill.
-
Is it a paid gig or volunteer? I know there’s big money in climate denial these days, but I ain’t doing it for free.
