TheClimateChanger Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 7 minutes ago, TheClimateChanger said: On the topic of 90 degree days, that 19th century Pittsburgh heat island must have been insane. Why so many more than Morgantown? Wow! According to this, from 1880-1882, Pittsburgh had 105 days at or above 90F, while Morgantown had either 8 or 4, with only a handful of missing days? Morgantown did later go through its own heat island period for a time in the next decade, where it flipped the script and became a powerhouse of 90 degree days. In 1893, at the height of its ascent, it surpassed Pittsburgh by a whopping 35 days in that metric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Enjoying the summer so far, it's been a great season for the pool this year. Warm water just about all summer (thanks to all the 90s). Pretty decent lightening show on the way to work this morning. Summer is cruising along. The older I get the less I look forward to the end of summer and fall and the start of Winter and he Holiday routine but don't worry I'll be in top form by November . This Farmers Almanac outlook would be sweet if it verified (probably as likely as the 384 GFS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that track record, I wouldn't put too much stock in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted Wednesday at 09:43 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:43 PM Although many of us saw rain today, PIT has so far seen just a trace. This ends the streak of completely rain-free days on the official record, but honestly I’m not sure measurable rain at the airport is anywhere near a sure bet this evening.

The airport ended up with 0.79", all coming in less than an hour. They had a nice cell, not much larger than the airport itself, pass right overhead. I only ended up with a few hundredths of an inch.

TheClimateChanger Posted Friday at 08:35 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:35 PM Barring some late day mischief, looks like an 89F high for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Just wanted to share this with you guys since the weather hasn't been all that active here except for the occasional storm. We do have a nasty hurricane out in the Atlantic, but it's going to mostly be a fish, with some wind impact on the east coast, but nothing here.Anyway, being the weather nerd that I've always been, even as a kid, I had a watch as a kid that had a thermometer in it. It was a Casio watch from the 80s. I loved that watch. I felt like I had a little weather station on my wrist. It was way ahead of it's time back then. Well, I found this baby on Ebay in great shape and for a pretty reasonable price. Works great. I feel like a kid again. Lol OK, back to weather talk.

TheClimateChanger Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Do we get some rain tonight? I have barely accumulated a quarter of an inch this month. Seeing a lot of early leaf drop and grass looks worse than even last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
