The Iceman Posted Wednesday at 04:01 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:01 PM 6 minutes ago, JTA66 said: First mow of the season where I was kicking up some dust. July totals here sit at 3.10”, most of that falling early in the month. Storms in the forecast for the weekend. 82F/DP 65F Wow we have double down here. 6.2" on the month. But vast majority of that was in 2 events earlier in the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Thursday at 01:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:13 PM Several spots across the county have yet to exceed 90 degrees this month including East Nantmeal, Atglen, Avondale 2N and West Grove. While today we should stay in the mid to upper 80’s tomorrow many of these spots should see their first 90 plus day in over a month. The heat will back off a few degrees over the weekend with some storm chances before we heat up again to possibly more 90’s by Tuesday. The good news is a pattern change back again to cooler and low humidity weather looks likely a week from today and should last into the first week of August.

I saw a few flying around in the backyard 2 total while I was cutting the grass this on Monday. The hornets typically nest into my small hill along the driveway in mid-July I don't see them yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 01:22 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:22 PM The heat and humidity return today with many spots near or above 90 degrees. We cool down a notch over the weekend but with increasing shower chances by Saturday night into Sunday morning. Hot again early next week before a big cool down arrives by later next week.

LVblizzard Posted yesterday at 08:40 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:40 PM Really nice storm just went through my place west of Allentown. Tons of lightning, gusty winds but not quite severe. A few power outages around Lehigh County, fortunately I still have power. New line starting to form behind this one? Some strengthening storms out near Williamsport.

PhiEaglesfan712 Posted yesterday at 10:07 PM Share Posted yesterday at 10:07 PM New record high of 98 set at PHL. This leaves July 12 (my birthday) as the only July day at PHL to not have a record high of at least 98. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted yesterday at 10:15 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 10:15 PM DAMMIT! Got maybe 20 drops from that line. Literally nothing measurable enough to tip the bucket, let alone wet the street and walks. The heavier stuff bubbled north and south of me. It did drop the temp about 15 degrees from my 96 high to the current 82 with dp 75. Currently mostly cloudy and hope something will bubble up or I'll have to pull out the hose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted 13 hours ago Author Share Posted 13 hours ago I finally managed to get 0.02" overnight before midnight, which was not really enough but I guess it kept me from a total miss. Still have to pull out the hose. My Upper Darby sis said they got a deluge with near an 1". After a 73 low yesterday, my high did end up being 96, making it 11, 90+ days in July so far. With the 8, 90+ days in June (with one of them being a 100), that takes me to 19 for the season at post time. Currently partly sunny and 75 with dp 73. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Today will be several days cooler with high temperatures mostly in the mid to upper 80's. So far this year Chester County has experienced only one heat wave (at least 3 consecutive 90+ days) back on June 23rd through June 26th. We have what may be our last chance of a 2025 summer heatwave early this week as Monday through Wednesday may see temperatures at or near 90 degrees. We then turn much cooler with a pattern change to well below normal temperatures as we close out July and move into August. The best chances of rain look to be tonight and later Sunday.

ChescoWx Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Below is an analysis of excessive heat - represented by temperatures exceeding 100 degrees in Chester County PA by decade from the 1890's through today. There is a clear trend for less excessive heat days with 100-degree readings becoming a relatively rare event compared to the 1900's through the 1950's. On average Chester County PA is down to maybe 1 time per station per decade. The below shows the number of days, average days per station - this is included to take into account many less stations prior to the 1990's. Of interest is even though there are more current stations at similar elevations relatively close to those older historic stations excessive heat is just not like it was for our parents and grandparents.
