Central PA Summer 2025

Heat advisories up. And they put this in today’s discussion.  
 

Ensemble data suggests pattern change is likely to evolve by
the end of the forecast period/beginning of August as the upper
level flow becomes more amplified, with the ridge building
north across the Rockies and a trough from Canada building
southward across the Great Lakes and the Northeast. This should
bring a return to much more pleasant conditions behind a cold
front on Thursday.

Yeah there's been some heavy hints in the modeling for a while now that the first week of August could be on the cool or comfortable side.  Don't think anyone would complin about that.  I'm sure the heat will return not too long after that.

The heat and humidity return today with many spots near or above 90 degrees. We cool down a notch over the weekend but with increasing shower chances by Saturday night into Sunday morning. Hot again early next week before a big cool down arrives by later next week.

Below are the number of 90 plus days so far at the major climate/airport sites across the Northeast US - PHL 24 days. / ILG 15 days. /ACY 16 days. / ABE 8 days. / TTN 10 days. / RDG 17 days./ GED 20 days. / MPO 2 days. / EWR 24 days. / DCA 22 days./ BWI 17 days. / NYC Central Park 7 days.

 

Now let us contrast that with the 90 plus days across the Chester County sites London Grove 3 / Devault 6 / Chester Springs 6 / West Bradford 6 / Kennett Square 6 / Warwick Twp. 4 / Nottingham 5 / Longwood Gardens 5 / KOQN Airport 7 / KMQS Airport 4 / West
Grove 3 / East Nantmeal 3 /Avondale 2N with 4 days.

It just got wild here - incredibly windy. 40-50 mph stuff. 

Not much in Tamaqua, but it was bad down between Hamburg and Reading on PA61. Easily 40+ gusts as it was ripping branches out of the trees, and actually looked like an Arizona dust storm prior to the rain hitting.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop today in the warm and muggy airmass in place across Pennsylvania. Localized flash flooding is possible areawide, while isolated damaging winds are possible in storms across primarily the southwestern half of the commonwealth. | Saturday, July 26 @ 6am

"Corn sweat" is the term used to describe the moisture that corn plants release into the air through transpiration—kind of like the plants' version of sweating. A single acre of mature corn can release up to 4,000 gallons of water into the atmosphere per day during peak summer heat, dramatically increasing local humidity levels. That sticky, soupy air you feel in farm-heavy areas? You can thank all that hot, sweaty corn.

.87 rain yesterday from 2 thunderstorms.

I got .29" in Tamaqua. While I saw a good one driving through Cross Keys and Leesport, north of Reading on PA61, Tamaqua was on the fringe of the first storm and missed completely on the second one.

You might soon have to deliver water to yourself at the rate your going.

After next week, I won't have that availability. Since there's no foreseeable path to day shift at my current company, I'm starting a new job next Monday....unless my current boss finds a way to slot me into a 5am start time. With no one quitting or retiring, though, anytime soon, I just don't see it happening.

Today will be several days cooler with high temperatures mostly in the mid to upper 80's. So far this year Chester County has experienced only one heat wave (at least 3 consecutive 90+ days) back on June 23rd through June 26th. We have what may be our last chance of a 2025 summer heatwave early this week as Monday through Wednesday may see temperatures at or near 90 degrees. We then turn much cooler with a pattern change to well below normal temperatures as we close out July and move into August. The best chances of rain look to be tonight and later Sunday.
