Peak hurricane season is usually from Aug through Oct but can easily go into Nov...we're just starting.
Today may turn out to be the hottest day of summer w/combined temps/DPs.
71F/DP 67F
For whatever reason I think the tropics will eventually ramp up.
Looks like Friday afternoon/evening is our next best radar watching opportunity. Maybe Saturday as well...
80F/DP 66F
89F/DP 65F but I have really nice breeze going on so not too bad also. The only bad thing is I had to run errands and once you leave the car (black)/get back in it's a oven but oh well, not horrible.
Philly suffers from the "urban heat island" effect. (high amounts of exposed asphalt, concentration of old buildings/black rooftops, congestion of cars/trucks) Nothing they can do about it. If Philly's landscape was similar to the burbs they would have no where near the amount of 90 degree days as they do currently. So in essence Philly's high temps have much to do w/environment along w/weather...
85F/ DP 70F
Spoke w/my old man who sure knows a helluva more about gardening than myself. He received 13 solid looking zucchini in his first batch. (I'll be picking up a couple this week) And already planted his second crop. He gets two crops per summer if you time it correctly. And he always says "Don't bunch them in....they need to breathe."
68F/DP 67F
Philly's going to surge past 30 - 90 degree days this week. I think they're at 25/26/27? currently. 40+ days 90+ certainly is possible....
68F/DP 66F Still low clouds/gloomy
65F/DP 64F Low clouds, slight fog, mist
Thursday looks to be the barn burner day this week (sunny/95F+) where I can cook weenies on the hood of my black car...80s next week?
Then take the homemade all natural approach which I always meant to do but laziness got in the way. There's tons of videos on YT which much success. 72F/ DP 67F Very light rain
Amazon has 3 - 1/2 pound Reese's cups w/only 17 left so Reese's hysteria has kicked in. They're flying off the shelves like the Wonka bar...
This is another one of those cases where the radar's bark is worse than the bite. Ground is barely wet but I've been under solid dark greens.
80F/DP 66F
Reese's were my favorite and neighbors back then would hand out the full size 2-pack not the "fun size" smaller 1 pack nowadays. "Fun size" isn't so fun because you receive less candy.
Uneventful weather for the next several days with increasing heat and humidity...blah.
71F/DP 62F
Add Birds training camp has begun so a bunch of things showing summer the door. He'll get a couple last punches in but he'll be on life support soon.
As far as Halloween, there's a shortage of my favorite candy. As a kid, I'd be a little pissed running from door to door and coming up short...

73F/DP 62F
They kinda screwed up all 3 days. (Wed/Thurs/Fri).
Wed, little chance of anything. (I received a decent amount)
Thurs, chance of some showers (I received a decent amount)
Fri, downpours/T-storms (I received zilch, nadda)
84F/DP 63F w/a nice breeze.
Super Cell in Pottstown around 6pm tonight. That's really really cool!
It's real, Cecily just showed it on the news so I went to her twitter account and it was there.
