Central PA Summer 2025

[Voyager]

So 99 ended up being my high yesterday. Just couldn't muster up one more degree. Strange though that this morning is the coolest one since the heat wave started. Bottomed out at 68 after mornings of 71 and 70 respectively.

MDT shattered the record high min temp by an impressive 3 degrees. Low was 78.

My low was also lower this morning. I thought it might have to do with lower dewpoints, my dew was a good 5 notches lower yesterday afternoon than it was on Monday. But it did come back up overnight and was running about the same as previous nights. Not sure why the temp was lower last night...maybe the NNW wind component?

Yep, will break today's as well, likely by one degree at 76. 

[Itstrainingtime]

95/77 approaching the noon hour. Actually running ahead of yesterday at this point.

Nice little storm cluster in Adams County currently.

This heat wave did what it was supposed to do: It warmed up swimming holes and water parks. Swimming holes are now too warm but the relaxation of the heat will correct that and we should be set for a nice summer of water recreation. 

 

I am now alright with low-mid 80s with the occasional hot one.

97 at 3:45 

[Itstrainingtime]

High today at MU was 97. KITT reached 99 after hitting 100 yesterday. Looks like 98 for the high at home. 

[mahantango#1]

.76 rain from that storm. High today was 97. Looks like there is more rain coming (according to the radar) for me. Total rain for month so far 4.75.

[canderson]

I hope but rains. Everything is quite dry now here and plants are getting brownish.

3 days of 100 degrees and 9 or whatever days without rain will do that in high summer. I’ve missed most all the rain this last 2 weeks. I have 1.8” rain this month. 

[canderson]

Got .05” rain - perfect! Don’t have to water tonight.

Hoping for the same here. Have missed everything all day but there’s a tiny little potent cell just NW of Mount Joy headed my way that I hope holds together. 
 

Narrator: It did not, in fact, hold together.

Low of 72 with zero rain.  MDT fell one degree shy of the daily high record yesterday, broke the max min record by one degree, and also now stands one degree AN for the month.  Supposed to go to a Barnstormers game tonight, so a close eye on the radar, I will have.  Cheers.

No rain at the homestead for me as well. A couple of weeks ago I was ground zero for flooding rains, yesterday my ground received zero.   

[Voyager]

This storm as usual missed Tamaqua, but got Lehighton, Palmerton, and points southeast. Grabbed it on US22 near Fogelsville.

[mahantango#1]

I hope I miss the rain today. Garden had srmtanding water in there last evening. Was down to the garden a little bit ago and was sinking in there.

[canderson]

I got all the way down to 73 last night. 

It is 88 at noon.  

Winds might be a legit issue this afternoon in storms.

Wow, it's 93 here currently with a HI of 107. 

And not even a Heat Advisory for Lanco. 

[Voyager]

Currently 89.6 so it's our 6th consecutive day of 90 or above. It's been awhile since we pulled that one off here in Tamaqua.

Radar looks good for a Tamaqua miss again. Scranton looks good right now, but they almost always seem to get the goods in a ripe environment.
