TheClimateChanger Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Revisiting June, finished at 73.1F at PIT, which, as noted, was the warmest since observations have been taken at the airport, and tied for 11th warmest overall. Elsewhere across the region, it tied for 4th warmest in the Morgantown area threaded record. It should be noted there is no data for 1943, which appears to have been a very warm month. 1934, which holds the top spot in both the Pittsburgh and Wheeling station threads, is tied for 15th place with 1949 & 2014 (72.6F) in the Morgantown threaded record. Dubois, with a shorter POR, finished tied for 4th warmest with 1976. A little skeptical of the ranking for 1976, seeing as that is said to have been the coldest summer on record at PIT, but that's what the official data shows. The record of 69.2F was set just last year. Wheeling finished tied with last year for 7th warmest June. There's a pretty big gap in the records here between 1953 and 1998; however, there really only appear to be a few candidate Junes for inclusion on this list in that time frame (1967, 1994, perhaps 1991). Another 0.1F would have raised this year to 4th warmest, as there is currently a 3-way tie for 4th place (1952, 1949, 1921) at 72.9F. New Philadelphia, Ohio, another short POR site, finished as 2nd warmest behind 2016. Yes, those 2016 readings were coming in quite high there relative to most places.

TheClimateChanger Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Overall, it was a wet June regionwide, most notably at Morgantown (see below). The 8.65" of rainfall there was good for 4th place overall, with records dating all the way back to 1872 [albeit with some gaps]! 1939 must have been insanely wet. Most other climate sites generally finished between about 12th and 25th place in the ranking of wettest Junes. I suspect some areas outside of the official observations, especially in far southwest Pennsylvania and portions of West Virginia, saw 10" or more of rainfall this month.

TheClimateChanger Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 It's also the half-way point for 2025. Through the first 6 months, PIT is running 3.8F cooler than last year's record-breaking pace. Still well above the long-term mean, checking in at 33th place in the threaded record (9th at the airport, tied with 1953 - the first full year of records at PIT). Similar story at Morgantown. The mean temperature of 50.5F ties for 22nd warmest and is 3.4F cooler than last year's record-pace. This list includes only years with less than 30 missing days. Wheeling is currently tied for 11th warmest with 2016, despite a 3.3F dropoff from last year. This ranking is obviously aided by the lengthy gap in the records, as years like 1990, 1991 and 1998 would certainly be in the mix otherwise (perhaps some from the late 80s as well). Also, no temperature records prior to 1900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Additionally, the average hourly dewpoint was highest on record for the month of June (since 1945). While the heading indicates Pittsburgh International (PIT), the years prior to 1953 are from hourly observations taken at present-day Allegheny County Airport, as Pittsburgh International Airport did not exist until 1952 [when it was known as the Greater Pittsburgh Airport]. The average hourly dewpoint for the month of June is 57.7F, so last month was nearly 6F higher than the long-term mean. Top 3, per the .csv file: 2025, 63.548F 1949, 63.546F 2005, 63.166F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted Sunday at 12:01 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:01 PM While there hasn’t been any temps of 95 or higher, every day since June 21 has been above normal, with only 2 days below normal since June 4. That trend looks to continue for at least the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted Sunday at 12:33 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 12:33 PM Might touch 90 again today. 89 yesterday, and supposed to be warmer today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted Tuesday at 11:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:16 PM Today will be the 18th consecutive day that the official low temperature at PIT has not dropped below 64, tied for 12th longest on record and tied for 2nd longest at the current airport site. Record is 32 days in 1916, record at the airport is 19 days in 1995. I think there’s a slight chance PIT can get to 63 tonight, but if not, this streak could continue for quite some time.

Not even close. Low was 66F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next chance might be next weekend, but even if it happens that’s a long way off and by then we’ll be at 28 days and in 2nd place behind the 1916 streak.
