This month becomes the driest month since February 2002. 21 years and 3 months since we've had a month drier. Also, the previous May record was .50".

Those 2 April days are masking how bad it really is with the lack of those .25 to .75" type rains we are missing out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralRed Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Weather guy on WNEP Channel 16 was just talking about the area's lack of rain. He noted Williamsport's "especially pathetic .44" for May and ended his segment by noting the record breakers (like us) as of today should stay where they are. There was a news segment about farmers over near Muncy on our county. The strawberry farmer cancelled Pick Your Own Strawberries and hopes to salvage half his crop. A lady farmer said the soil in her fields is like concrete and is getting dusty and blowing around. I really feel sorry for them, especially since we do not know when things will go back to normal long term. I realized in December we were no longer having lots more sunny days than normal but of course now we are again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most farmers can get Fed aid if they substantiate their losses so hopefully that works out for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But farming is always a gamble, there is no denying it. Farmers in PA are all small guys and with our weather, they are not used to long periods of semi-drought or other things that happen much more in the Midwest. Plus the price of food has gone up like crazy but as usual, I am sure they got very little of that extra money even as their costs went up. It isn't just one year. The whole game of farming is getting harder and riskier for them and I am not sure they all will stay in the game. I don't want to see people forced out. Honestly I myself don't want to have the weather that would make them give up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now at least. But yes I can imagine it’s getting rough up that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Yet another in a long string of dry days on tap across the area today to close out a Top 20 coldest May and 2nd driest month in Chester County history. Some patchy smoke will be visible and you will likely smell it in the air at times today and tonight as smoke from the wildfires in Nova Scotia spread southwestward on the East/Northeast breeze. After another below normal day today we should warm to above normal for both Thursday and Friday to close out the week. Cooler weather again by the weekend. Our next small rain chances look to be on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
