10 miles to your northeast, I'm at 50. 

Kind of amazed at how much cooler it still is in your area! I saw that just an hour ago you were still at 45. The temp did go up pretty quickly but you’re usually at least a degree or two warmer than here.  

Up to 63 here now; an Ambient station about 2 miles north (just outside John Rudy park) is pushing 64.

Near Rocky Ridge park in east York, 60 degrees and sunny with a light breeze as of 10:45 am.

27 here this morning. PSU sweatshirt on as I head south to Maryland. 

You and Wim Hof …  

(I’m more like the Wegmans lady, wanting to break out the parka when the temperature dips below 40)

you need to do that fall mowing, with a frosty beverage?

Sounds great but I think the frosty beverage disqualifies it as a “dry” weekend

No coffee. He can bring 90 degree heat and 70s dewpoints along.

I’ll pitch in for the heat if we can negotiate down on the dewpoint!

As of 12:40 pm, 71 and sunny here; dew point 59.6. (I wish the first two weeks of October had been like this…)

Beautiful morning here; 43 and sunny.

Left for work at 6 this morning and it felt great in a short sleeve shirt. Very refreshing. 

This morning was definitely light jacket weather for me! Guess I better start building up my cold tolerance  

Edited to add that I quite enjoy the slower, more gradual cool down as we transition into winter. I’m really looking forward to the “no longer warm but not yet cold” weather coming up over the next few weeks. 

As of 12:45 pm it’s 58 degrees here and a pleasant mix of sun and clouds. Fairly steady wind; I’d guess somewhere around 10 mph with occasional gusts around 15 mph (local Ambient stations are reporting similar numbers). When the wind settles down it feels much milder, almost too warm for even a light jacket. 

My canine friend is thoroughly enjoying this cooler weather. Makes it just the tiniest bit easier to say goodbye to summer.

Down to 58 I guess summer is gone.

I think Bubbler’s right — might not be any upper 70s or 80s with high dew points, but I’d bet we still have a few more warm days coming up. 

For what it’s worth, I miss summer and the longer daylight hours too. I don’t know how old you are but one thing that helps a little is that the older (and busier, it seems) I get, the faster time seems to fly by. The holidays come and go quickly and then we just have to get through a few months, likely with some mild spring-like days scattered here and there throughout, and it will be mid-spring again before you know it. 

Rain just started here a few minutes ago, around 1:15 pm. Sky had been looking rather ominous for about 45 minutes prior to that and I was starting to wonder if we might get a surprise thunderstorm. 

As of 11:45am it’s 70 and sunny here, light breeze; closest Ambient station says dew point is 60.6 but it feels very comfortable outside right now.

Some of you would probably consider it too warm but to my mind this is a perfect fall day. Hope you all get a chance to enjoy it.

Just after 2 pm, it’s overcast and 67 here. My point-and-click weather apps are all still saying it will reach mid 70s here but it doesn’t feel like it’s warming up, so I’m not so sure. Occasional light breeze, very pleasant out; perfect day, really, minus the gray sky.

I know it’s weird, but i do too. Mid 40’s, leaves still on trees, maybe a shower or two.

 

I don’t know why but I love it.

I really enjoy them on occasion. Two-three times a week, no problem. Four or more consecutive days and it starts to get old.

Full-blown drizzle here now and 61. 

Same here - just a couple degrees warmer, but steady light rain/drizzle for about 45 minutes. I consider this an improvement. If it’s going to be nonstop gray and dreary, might as well get some rain out of it.

It appears next week we do get real fall temps. Lows in the 40s and highs in the low to mid 60s. 

Better late than never. Too bad we have an 80 degree gauntlet to go through Wed-Sat.

Honestly I’m more looking forward to seeing the sun again than the cooler temps. For awhile the humidity was starting to feel like a personal affront (lol) but I quite enjoy fall weather that bounces around between warm (mid 70s) and crisp (low 60s). The constant gray skies are a real drag, though.

Has winter been cancelled?  LOL 

According to the MA forum, yes. (lol)

64/63 at 10:30.  Fall temps.  Not fall DP's. 

I’m out later today than yesterday so there’s always the risk that it will get very uncomfortable while I’m out, but yesterday, instead of being warm and soupy it was like walking through a cool mist. Not bad at all. It’s like that now too; hopefully it lasts awhile longer. 

76 here, starting to see some breaks in the clouds now but it’s been near complete cloud cover for most of the day thus far. There’s a large, dark cloud hovering overhead, slowly making its way east, and looks like more storm clouds to my southwest, but no more rain since early this morning. Had a little over a tenth of an inch total. 

I’m a little surprised by how swampy it is today. I thought the dew points  might be at least a little lower this time of year.

As of 6:15 AM it’s a balmy, downright tropical 67 degrees with a 66 dewpoint.

I love being able to get up and roll right out the door in shorts and a t-shirt, so I’m going to make the most of it. The cooler weather will be back soon enough to kick the last of the warmth out on its arse. 

As of 12:00 noon it’s 76 here with a dp of 71. Surprised by how summer-like it feels today, but there’s a steady breeze with some stronger wind gusts and intermittent rain drops (not even enough to call it a drizzle) keeping it pretty comfortable. 

As of 2:40, an Ambient station about a mile south of me says it’s 87.1 with a dewpoint of 72.6.

Mostly cloudy/overcast all day so far with just brief moments here and there where the clouds and haze shift just enough that a bit of filtered sunlight gets through. 

I’d love a couple weeks in the upper 70s to low 80s with plenty of sunshine, a light but steady breeze, and low humidity. This time of year, that shouldn’t be too difficult a request. Do the Weather Gods demand a blood sacrifice for this? Will mosquitoes do? 

A throwback to this date last year: looks like the next few days will have “artificial” haze in the form of smoke from the out-of-control wildfires in the west/PNW. The only difference is that last year, the first few days the week of the 14th - 18th were pleasantly cool and feeling like fall whereas this upcoming week is definitely a nod to late summer. 

At the moment, there are some clouds and light haze but it’s still fairly clear skies. Maybe this year won’t be as bad as last year.

So far the lightning doesn’t meet that storm we had in July (that was the best light show I’ve ever seen here) but it’s mighty impressive. 

Thank you — couldn’t remember if that was in July or early August, but I was reminded of that one too. As of 10:10 pm this one is giving that July light show a run for its money. Also hearing some pretty loud thunder now and it just started raining. Kinda hope we stay on the edge of this one; no power outages yet this year but every time we get storms with significant wind it feels like we’re tempting fate.

If you look back at the first Winter 20/21 and Fall 20 thread you will see they both started using the dates Met's use.  So I still contend that this is a primarily cold driven board which is fine using Met dates for fall and winter but uses Astro dates for Spring and Summer as sort of a "well if I have to, I have to" way of trying to hang on to Winter and Spring longer. 

Interesting! I assumed the later start dates were just coincidence but that makes sense on a forum mostly populated with cold and snow-chasers.
