Bonus as just had 3rd T-Storm of rain today. Nothing big in the lightning and thunder department but nice downpours.

Was not paying attention after first two as I working on a spreadsheet and then realized why is it getting so dark. See the dark sky and my mind gives a "oh yeah!!!"

Edit - as a 4th small one just popped up over us.

Edit 2 - as a 5th one on approach.

most of the  lower 48 states have been either below normal or normal for the month of july so far... weather channel...

Only the middle section of the country has been below normal. 2 different data sets below. NYC is +2.3 for July so far. No 95+ heat yet, but plenty of days near 90 and high dews has made us above normal.

LOL, torch wind at PHL is a west wind which isn't a flow off the Delaware. Wilmington is several miles off the river which is SE of the airport so again torch winds there aren't coming off the river. For Trenton the river is a fraction of the size & has no affect on the ASOS a mile or two away & over 150' up hill. There's reason why these top line ASOS stations haven't reached 100 degrees in 11 yrs. It's because they're consistent, reliable & represent their surrounding area's very well. Newark represents a patch of rock hard ground immediately adjacent to miles of black runway asphalt & 12 lanes of nonstop traffic. Other locations like Mt. Holly are consistently out of tolerance warm.

Even bigger LOL is you referencing Murrysville in conjunction will Philly, that location is a suburb of Pittsburgh. Most likely another garbage station since Pittsburgh hasn't recorded 100 degrees since 1995. Harrisburg & Williamsport are also locations nowhere near PHL. 

 

We haven’t been getting many westerly flow heat events since around 2018. There has been a strong S to SSE component to the flow at times with the big ridge east of New England. So that definitely affects the conditions at PHL which is in a marshy area along the Delaware. You would be surprised what a body of water that width can do. It will shave a few degrees off the daily high with strong southerly flow days relative to the Franklin Institute which is downtown. Same thing happens at Newark with even the slightest flow off the bay.  Those tables that I posted were for the whole region. Not just Philly. The airport isn’t as representative to what downtown Philly experiences in the more built up concrete jungle. The tables give a wider perspective than just one station that everyone is familiar with . The tables show that the 100° heat last summer extended from SMQ to Newark with spots in NYC as shown by the NYC micronet. So Newark is representative of the wider area around the airport. Harrison can often be a degree or two warmer since its located further off bay. So there is nothing special or anomalous about the high temperatures at Newark International. 
 

Airport is alongside a wider part of Delaware River and gets slight cooling on southerly flow relative to downtown Philly.
