Had to adjust the rainfall when I got back last night. The Cocorahs showed 2.08" from the Wed/Thurs event. The record high today is 98 degrees from way back in 1894. Record low was 45 degrees on this date back in 1902. Record daily rain was 1.20" from 1964.

1.24" of rain has fallen so far since yesterday. Our record high for today is 96 degrees set way back in 1894. The record low is the 41 degree reading from 1992. The record Chesco rain fall is the 3.00" that fell today back in 1969.

A firmly non-beachy day here in SIC. Water temps have not come up fast this season and chilly sea breezes have been the rule.

We have fallen just a little below average rainfall for the year to date. Looks like we may pick up enough rain today to put a smile on the many farmers across Chester County! Our record high for today is 97 degrees set back in 1921. The record low is 42 degrees from 1940. The daily rainfall record is the 3.75" that fell back in 1972 with the remnants of Hurricane Agnes.

Thanks CC!! I have used the IPS site for individual handwritten obs but did not know they had the summaries!! Thanks! Paul

Fantastic!! I had just finished moving the previous data to a spreadsheet for all of the Chesco sites. This looks great!! Did you share a link? if not I will do some digging - thanks again!! Paul

The record lowest maximum temperature for today is 66 degrees today back in 1973. Our maximum temperature so far during the day today is the current 63.9 degrees.

But it is probably safe to say this will go down as the coldest June 18th during the daytime since record keeping began here in Chester County way back in 1894!

Have shared variations of this before... but some clear strong consistency across the 3 longest running NWS Cooperative locations in Chester County...with the vast majority of the warmest summer (June thru August) decades occurring prior to the 1990s. Eight (8) of the top ten (10) warm summer decades at both Coatesville and Phoenixille occurred before the 1990's and seven (7) of the top ten (10) warmest summers at West Chester also were realized prior to 1990. That said - I note that the 2000's and 2010's would likely have ranked much higher with the change in Coatesville/Western Chesco obs to the higher elevation stations starting in the mid-1980's
