Holy cow you guys, I might actually get training t-storms for a change!

Got my 40 drops for the day. The driveway is almost dry again, and nothing was measured in the gauge. Cooled down to 83 though, and that's not nothing these days. It's sunny out again so that will probably rise a little bit.

Clouds have rolled in and dropped temps massively from 95.3 to 94.8. Looking forward to watching any storms that develop dodge around my house this afternoon.

I was curious, so I compared my local wind patterns from 2021 and 2022. Way more winds from the south this year compared to last, check it out:

Have now watched 3 storms flare up and then die right before getting to me. Frustrating.
Looks like we wit 93.7°F today. Currently 86 with a DP of 76. Gross.

6th day in a row of >90°F. Can't wait for this to be over.
Radar looks like it's filling in again, time for the Reading Rain Shield to go up. I'm at .23" for the last 7 days.

Looks like a shield paralleling Rt 422 actively resisting the approaching storm.

Best light show in years multiple thunderheads
Yeah I was just outside with my dog looking at that. Supposedly a storm is inching towards me, we'll see if it ever gets here. Not betting on it--it has that "holy crap Armageddon is approaching aaaaaand it's gone" look to it.

And that was a nope. Maybe overnight.

Maybe we'll get something out of this (to my west):

On GOES-East you can see the outflow boundary regressing SW from that storm complex over NE PA. Kinda neat.

Really can't believe it lasted long enough to call it right in the 5th? (cough, cough, home advantage but a W)
75F/DP 72F
Need to sun to pop out and create instability, currently cloudy...
I'm in the sun hole to the NW. Currently 79°F and climbing rapidly.
Somehow we eked out .11" just after midnight last night.

This equals some rain drops on the back deck and nothing in the gauge.

Most with accounts on Americanwx get bubble shields courtesy of the deep state..
I'm literally watching the downpours slide off to the NE through my front house camera. At least there's a breeze and the temp got knocked down to... checks PWS... 89. Whew, what a relief that is

Amazing how warm you run there compared to Chester County! East Nantmeal only 86.8 / KPTW airport 87.1 / KMQS 89.6 / Elverson and Downingtown (Hawk Hill) 89.6 - Even the hottest place with UHI contamination PHL airport is only 93
Lots of 90's and above up here and down there. I just checked Allentown though and they're reading 100! Harrisburg reports 98, and south of you, Oxford reports 91 and Phoenixville says 96. Enjoy your microclimate while the rest of us bake, my hill-top friend.
Here are the stations closest to me: (closest to me is highlighted.)

Lots of pop-ups sprouting on radar to the west. Maybe some of that makes it over here?

Third heat wave IMBY this summer, as opposed to 6 by this time last year.

Forgot to add:
5/20-7/31 2021:
Average: 73.13 Average High: 85.39 Average Low: 62.45 5/20-7/31 2022:
Average: 74.12 Average High: 86.61 Average Low: 62.84 -
All data recorded from my backyard nano-climate, ~400' ASL. I'm not sure what to make of the trend lines--I think they'll be more representative at the end of the season, so make of them what you will. I think the most noteworthy thing on this chart is the distribution of this year's precipitation vs 2021. So, it's raining just as much IMBY as last year, but in fewer but larger instances.
I have recorded 29 days above 90°F in 2022 and 25 in 2021:
Daily lows for consistency:
Incidentally, the average dewpoints are only marginally higher for this period for this year (2021 = 62.27 2022 = 62.46) :
Anyway, thanks for reading and allowing me to nerd out on some weather data.

Don't weekly average highs wane after mid July?
I sure hope so!
