My family bought a satellite dish in the late 80's and it was amazing. Live sporting events without commercials....in between innings Harry Kalas would sing and the cameramen would focus their cameras on girls in the crowd. Live "wild feeds" of all the news networks - fun times!

Today looks to be our only above normal temperature day of the week. Overall temps looks to stay near to slightly below normal as we have a good chance to finish with our 1st below normal temperature month of the year and first since our below normal December 2022. Dry weather all work week but it looks a bit unsettled by the 2nd half of Memorial Day weekend. Records for today: High 95 (1941) / Low 34 (1963) / Rain 2.59" (1915)

Some of the lower and coldest spots like Marsh Creek did briefly hit the freezing mark this morning. Here in East Nantmeal we dropped to 35.9 degrees this is the 3rd coldest May 18th reading since 1894. Only colder were both 1983 and 1973 at 33 degrees. Well below normal temps will continue today before warming to near normal tomorrow. Rain chances increase on Saturday before clearing out on Sunday. Let's hope for some much needed rain as we are now exactly 5" below normal for the year. Records for today: High 95 (1962) / Low 33 (1983/1973) / Rain 2.39" (1988)

The first 4 months of the year have been the warmest on record for Chester County since 1894. During our current cyclical warmer climate phase we have seen 8 of the top 10 warmest starts to the year since just 1990! However it is important to note that 13 of the Top 25 warmest first 4 months occurred prior to 1960 (see below). However, for those of us that believe in normal cyclical climate change... some cooler periods are likely in our not too distant future. With the start of the modern grand solar minimum (when solar magnetic field and its magnetic activity will be reduced by 70%) which began in 2020 and will last through about 2053 we should expect to see our temperatures begin to chill as part of the next normal cooling cycle by up to 1.8°F. This cooling is expected to be most notable during the periods of solar minima between the cycles 25–26 and 26–27 which means we should see some clear cooling starting later this decade and peaking during the 2030's into the 2040's before our next warming cycle looks to begin later in the 2050's.
