On a side note, Lowes has some Halloween decorations out already. Drove through, and had to stop during, that absolute deluge in Exton this afternoon. Just could not see, driving 5 mph with the washers on "frenetic". There was no way in heck I was getting on the turnpike in that. Side note, I've noticed many of the beer stores did not completely sell out of pumpkin-themed beers last year and have been trying to sell them on discount ever since. I wonder if the "pumpkin-spice ALL THE THINGS" trend may be drawing down finally, in the beer world at least. Or maybe they already stocked it this year in late May and I already missed it.

ChescoWx Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 A wide range of rain totals across the County yesterday with as little as 0.12" in Chadds Ford to near 4" in Central and Eastern sections. We should top out short of 90 degrees today across most of the county but Thursday through Saturday we should see temps in the lower 90's for most. The heat will only pay a brief visit as has been the case this cool summer with temps likely not escaping the 70's by Sunday. Records for today: High 99 (1940) / Low 48 (1977) / Rain 1.64" (1994) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Of note so far June and July 2023 is running as our 12th coldest June/July in 130 years of records for Chester County PA. The Top 20 coldest are below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I bottomed out at 65 this morning, my "coolest" low during the entire month of July. Tat will be a memory come tomorrow and the days after. It's currently mostly sunny with cumulus here and there, and 87 (don't think I will make 90), with dp 70 so not too bad out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had to go swap out the batts in my WS-2000 a couple hours ago as it had suddenly stopped sending temp/humidity data around 5 pm (after the high for the day). I had bought this station in the summer of 2020 (as a replacement to a WS-1001 from 2015) and it still had the original lithium batts that I had put in it when I first set it up, so I knew this day was coming! Anyway, it's partly sunny and 83 with dp a reasonable 66 and doesn't feel bad out there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad deal and the 90s are short lived. I'm a stickler for replacing batteries (or recharging) before they screw you (and they will) especially the FOB for the car... 79F/DP 66F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PWS has been going strong on the original set of batts since late 2020. I really need to get up there and swap them out some time soon. On topic, I once again find myself working outside in the heat and humidity of summer. Today wasn't too bad, but I'm not especially looking forward to tomorrow and Friday. At least we have a 10 sq ft pop-up canopy to provide shade on the site, but it's not going to be pleasant. Thankfully, no tyvek this time around at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still sending data for the anemometer. And I did have to swap out the batts on the key fob a couple years ago. At least those lasted about 5 years. 15 minutes ago, CoolHandMike said: Ooh I'm in the same boat. My PWS has been going strong on the original set of batts since late 2020.

Thankfully, no tyvek this time around at least. I have been pretty happy with the Energizer lithium batts for that. Also use those for my temp sensors and even have one in my deep freezer (with lithium batteries). Have dropped down to 76 now with dp 67. Will see if it hangs around that temp through dawn in order to start out warmer tomorrow ahead of the blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Yesterday was our 10th straight below normal day. That changes today as a very brief potential heat wave impacts the area today through Saturday. The peak heat will be tomorrow PM when most spots in the county should touch the mid 90's. Much cooler weather returns by Sunday with another stretch of below normal temps including most nights reaching the 50's for lows. Records for today: High 99 (1940) / Low 48 (1946) / Rain 2.23" (1966) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Bottomed out at 73 this morning and have hit my high (so far) with my current 88. What is different is that the dp has gone into the stratosphere, bopping between 78 & 79 and just stepped outside and I think that rain we had a few days ago juiced it up here.
