Yesterday's 85.8 was our warmest reading since the 87.3 last August 27th -could we hit a rare 90 in these parts today? fingers and toes crossed

I agree I have already told folks we are due for a well below normal rain year as the last 3 have been well above normal - these things as all things climate have a way of evening out. Through today here in Western Chester County PA we are 1.93" below this month with only 1.23" of rain and 3.56" below normal YTD with only 15.01" of rain so far in 2021

With the 1st 90+ day today at PHL and of course no 90's at KPTW/ KMQS or East Nantmeal....will for the 7th straight year the combined 90+ days at 3 spots in the western burbs of KMQS & KPTW Airports + East Nantmeal Twp. be less than the runaway heat island problem that continues at PHL airport?? If I was a betting man (I'm not) I would say yes!! Below is the number of KPHL 90+ days vs. those 3 combined since 2014 2014 - PHL 19 days - combined burbs 10 days 2015 - PHL 37 days - combined burbs 13 days 2016 - PHL 46 days - combined burbs 35 days 2017 - PHL 26 days - combined burbs 11 days 2018 - PHL 30 days - combined burbs 26 days 2019 - PHL 31 days - combined burbs 16 days 2020 - PHL 36 days - combined burbs 33 days

scary views here.....sad for our country - debate is not encouraged anymore.....

High today 78.2 here in East Nantmeal today after yesterday's 83.4 - 90's likely not coming out this way anytime soon. Easterly flow kept Sea Isle City in the low to mid 60's much of the day with a high temp of 66.2

10 of the last 13 days have been below normal...and of course no rain. Nice stretch of above normal days should help us get back to an above normal month before the end of May

Some analysis below comparing the original Coatesville PA NWS Coop climate averages from 1894 to 1982 (88 years of data) taken at locations between 340ft to 400ft ASL vs. the last 38 years of data 1983 to current taken at over 660 ft ASL. The analysis highlights a small 0.3 degree increase (+0.6%) in annual average temperature with this relative modest change in elevation between the 1st 88 years of data vs. the last 38 years. Biggest variation has been in snowfall with a near 15% increase in annual snow from the old vs new location and precipitation +9.5% at the new location. Of interest the average daily high temperature is lower in 10 of the 12 months (except January and December) at the higher elevation - while the average low temperature has increased in all 12 months

Today marks the 9th below normal day temp wise in the last 10 days....today's splits 73.8/47.2 here in Western Chester County PA

After yesterday's record Chester County PA low high temp of 54.5 today we were even chillier with a well below normal (68.2) high of only 51.7...however only the 2nd coldest May 9th....just last year we set the record chilly day with a high of only 46.5.

settled....of course not

Dr. Ryan Maue going off on the "new normal" of 90+ days and how they skew local climate stats - "I started looking at number of 90°F days in various cities accounting for the new "normal" and it is straight up urban heat island. Not surprising. Cities really need to get off their asses and plant trees and change the urban landscape to provide quicker evening cooling"
