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.
-
First time since 1885, 1887 and 1888 that Pittsburgh has gotten to 94 in 3 out of 4 consecutive Junes.
-
Already have a 90 on the board at PIT. Two degrees above yesterday at the same time, with a dewpoint two degrees lower. I’d say 95 might be in play.
-
NWS point and click centered at KPIT has lows at or above 70 every day through Monday. If that happens (I’ll bet it doesn’t), it’ll be the 7th occurrence on record of 9+ consecutive days with lows of 70+, first time at Pittsburgh International, first time since 1918, and the first time in June. Record is 12 in 1916.
-
Remembering last June’s heatwave, I seem to recall there was an afternoon or two that we got some nice outflow that made things feel quite pleasant in the late afternoon, even in areas that didn’t get storms.
-
In other words, excessive/extreme heat warning criteria have only ever been observed for two hours in Pittsburgh in June, on that day in 1978?
-
If PIT does get to 94 during this heat wave, it’ll be the first time since 1952-1953 that we’ve done it in back to back Junes, and the first time since the questionable records of the 1870s-1880s that we’ve done it 3 out of 4.
-
You learned something new today. You’re welcome.
-
Yes, I realized that after I posted. Anyway, as @TheClimateChangercan tell you, asos ran warm in the 80s/90s and that almost entirely explains the KMQS thing.

We’ll see how the averages stack up for June. I’ll bet every major observing site in Pennsylvania is above normal when it all shakes out.

Re: your last statement:
-
In before East Nantmeal shows up and says he didn’t hit 80 yesterday.
