It's even worse at 2 am. I went out and visibility dropped dramatically as if there was a thick fog. I took a few breaths of air as I walked outside looking down the street and my lungs felt like they were burning slightly. Also I think why it's worse now is because the smoke has been progressively moving farther south as time moves on so I think it's just coincidence that it got bad as night came.

DP is 36 here right now. I can't remember ever seeing it this low in June

Oof. Well that'll be fun lol

Well that explains why the air quality is doubly as bad just north of here. It's 170 here in Enola and I've never ever seen the air quality anywhere this high. Ever. Even during the worst air quality alerts it's only ever gotten around 80 or 90 here. Absolutely insane. I hope that stuff doesn't come farther south

Yeah probably a good idea. I've got a few laying around still and these filters you can place inside so that'd be perfect I think. I'm glad I didn't throw them away lol

I can smell the smoke now

Yeah the rain and wind were really bad here just now. It didn't last for very long. Hoping the rain didn't blow into your windows

I knew the drought was bad but didn't realize May was that bad for a few other places

I hear sirens going off down the highway so it must have been bad there

I can't believe I missed that storm to my east. It missed me by just a thread otherwise I'd probably have had hail here too lol

Saw on the radar the color intensity is the highest it can possibly go. Storm must be pounding over there

Missed the storms to my east yesterday and today missed them all to my west lol

With how dry it is I can definitely see that contributing to the summer being a few degrees warmer some days than what would have originally been forecast as well. Since dryness like that likes to invite more heat

It's weird barely seeing it thunderstorm in May. I miss the storms Also I think I might be one of the youngest ones here lmao. I just turned 33

Year without a summer is super interesting. Apparently it would sometimes be hot and then suddenly get super cold randomly. "Rapid, dramatic temperature swings were common, with temperatures sometimes reverting from normal or above-normal summer temperatures as high as 95 °F (35 °C) to near-freezing within hours." It would also be very wet and damp feeling but chilly at the same time which is interesting

Sun actually came out just now

It's nice having a May that's more similar to normal than a brutally hot one. The next 1-2 weeks look pretty nice temp wise

Same here. Still not a drop with the sun shining through the clouds

Was watching this live last night. Absolutely jaw dropping wedge tornado. I'm only just now looking at this high quality footage of it since the stream wasn't super clear. Crazy.

Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm looking forward to some actually normal temperatures for once. That cold spell kinda sucked

Yeah it's pretty annoying people making assumptions about specific parts of the country. If people actually spent time in the big cities or rural parts of the country they'd understand that things are not as they seem online. It also doesn't help that media and social media fearmongers us constantly making us think that everyone's out to harm you or that you might get hurt if you walk outside your home. Most people are nice and caring...obviously there's some people that are awful but the negative things always stick out like sore thumbs compared to all the good in the world. Sorry for the rant lmao

Looks like chances of potentially hitting 90 again on Friday lol. Thursday also incredibly warm as well

Today definitely felt more summerlike than the previous few despite it being a bit cooler just because of that dp

We got some heavy rain here in Enola around midnight. I noticed it all started to vanish as soon as it passed me so I wondered if you got any. It must have cut off. It was really weird because in western PA I saw some heavy rains that then vanished instantly in an hour and then reappeared out of nowhere when it got right near me and then vanished again

If you want to hear some crazy weather...friend in Wisconsin had temps in the mid 80s 4 days in a row. One day broke their record high by 13 DEGREES and now they're under a winter storm warning getting 5-10 inches of snow when it was 80 the previous day lol
