Ahoff Posted Monday at 08:41 PM Author Share Posted Monday 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 yesterday at 01:15 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:15 PM 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 yesterday at 01:59 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:59 PM 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 yesterday at 04:07 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:07 PM 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...
Ahoff Posted 21 hours ago Author Share Posted 21 hours ago Might have stopped at 93 again. Which is a bit surprising considering we ran ahead of yesterday most of today. Might still sneak a 94 in the inter obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted 19 hours ago Author Share Posted 19 hours ago Yep, temps were forecasted pretty well, maybe a hair under, but not as off as last year’s June heat. Dew points seemed lower than forecast as well, if only by a little. Still very hot out there, but more Heat advisory than Extreme Heat warning.

TimB Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago First time since 1885, 1887 and 1888 that Pittsburgh has gotten to 94 in 3 out of 4 consecutive Junes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, those June's lately have outperformed July and August with peak temperatures (last year all three hit 94, but still). June has generally outperformed August these last few years. More front loaded summers it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago If this morning’s low of 74 holds, it’ll be the first time Pittsburgh International hasn’t dropped below 74 for three consecutive days, and the first in the threaded record since 1930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Made it to 92 so far today. With clouds & scattered thundershowers, that’s probably as high as it will get today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
