Ahoff Posted yesterday at 08:41 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 08:41 PM The temps so far are pretty much spot on. Looks like 93 so far today per the 5 minute obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago NWS point and click centered at KPIT has lows at or above 70 every day through Monday. If that happens (I’ll bet it doesn’t), it’ll be the 7th occurrence on record of 9+ consecutive days with lows of 70+, first time at Pittsburgh International, first time since 1918, and the first time in June. Record is 12 in 1916. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 86F as of 9:51 am. It might slow down, but you have to think there's at least a chance of a 95F high today. The last official 95F reading was on September 4, 2018, although I do seem to recall some discussion about whether the sensor wasn't running a little hot at the time.

Record is 12 in 1916. Making a late push on the monthly temperatures. I'm a little skeptical that lows would stay above 70F that entire stretch, especially with showers and thunderstorms becoming increasingly likely. Too easy to drop into the low 70s with rain-cooled air in the evening. At that point, only a few more degrees of overnight cooling gets you into the upper 60s. Taking the NWS point-click values for PIT would yield a final monthly mean of 73.1F. That's 11th warmest in the "official" threaded record but would be the warmest ever at PIT and warmest in the threaded record since 1943. The cold start to the month prevents us from making a run any higher than that. Personally, I suspect that forecast is a little overdone with the increasing rain chances, but we'll see. Definitely going to feel like summertime either way. The warmest Junes at the current airport site are 1967 (73.0F), 1994 (72.9F), 2024 (72.8F) and 1991 (72.6F). The record is 75.9F in 1934, when observations were taken downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Already have a 90 on the board at PIT. Two degrees above yesterday at the same time, with a dewpoint two degrees lower. I’d say 95 might be in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
