Today looks like a perfect beach day...but I have a family event down in Wildwood which will not involve the beach. Have an awesome day!!

Zero evidence that any small impacts of our current warming climate change cycle has led to any disasters anywhere in the world!

A steamy wet week ahead for the area. While most spots will fail to reach the 90 degree mark this week we will see temperatures in the mid to upper 80's with increasing humidity and rain chances almost every day. The best rain chances look like tomorrow night into Tuesday and Wednesday into Thursday. We may see our NWS issue a flood watch for that time. Our warmest day looks like Thursday where some of the lower spots in the county could get close to 90 degrees. Next weekend may turn a bit cooler and a little drier....does anyone remember drought concerns?

So great to see young professional Meteorologists getting time on major networks to help start to turn the tide on the old climate alarmist fake narratives on simple cyclical weather events!!

Nice moon shot over the ocean in Sea Isle City NJ this evening

And below is the warming so far this century...

One of my social media followers mentioned that the 20th century experienced a "clear upward temperature trend"....well again not speaking for the US or World as a whole but clearly as you can see below for the 20th century in Chester County we actually saw temperatures cooling during our last complete century - in fact we did not warm at all! That was clearly a long cooling cycle. Now since 2000 we have clearly been in a slight warming cycle of our normal cyclical climate change at least here in Chester County.

Partly sunny today and continued warm and muggy with temperatures today and the rest of the week mainly in the mid to upper 80's. Some of the lower and warmer spots may touch 90 degrees today and again on Tuesday. Higher ridge locales are likely to get no higher than the upper 80's. Shower chances ramp up yet again by Sunday night into Monday. Rain chances lessen much of the work week before increasing again by Friday.

We have found additional Ghost Stations and more years of ghosted estimated data. Now our updated list includes ten (10) Ghost Stations with data. All years between 1893 through 2023 feature some ghost data with the exception of 2014 / 2015. The updated stations and ghastly data years now include Phoenixville (1895-1914) / West Grove (1928-1962) / Chadds Ford (1946-2005) / Coatesville (1948-1955) / Glenmoore (1957-2005) / Honey Brook (1957-2013) / West Chester 2W (1979-1981) and Devault (1893-1950 + 1988-2004) / Coatesville 1E (2016-22) and Spring City (2020-2023). Overall there are 283 years of ghastly data used to "fill in data gaps" across Chester County PA. Below is the updated Ghost Station annual average temperature trends vs. the actual raw County data. Every year between 1918 and 2013 the Ghost Data runs warmer than the actual County Data. The largest differences start in the late 1940's through the early 80's with the largest differences between the data points being during our coldest actual period from the late 1950's through the mid 1980's. As is always the case with the estimated IEM or adjusted NCEI averages they show a clear warming trend while the actual raw non-estimated / adjusted temperatures show very minor warming. It is interesting that the estimated IEM data runs higher than even the actual stations during the warmest decades of the 1930's and into the 1940's....the estimated data clearly also lacks the NCEI alterations like the actual raw data.

Happy Friday! We continue our stretch of warm and humid weather with chances of at least some rain on most days. No total washouts but our best chances of rain look to be from Sunday night through Monday. We should continue to run a few degrees above normal with highs in the mid to upper 80's with maybe a couple lower valley spots touching 90 some days. Still no sign of any widespread sustained 90-degree heat in our future through much of the remainder of July!
