With meteorological summer coming to an end, it is now time to start a discussion for fall.

Finished up August with 2.57" of rain and only 3, 90+ degree days.  Final tally for JJA was 13.60" of rain and 26 days of 90+ (including the 1st triple digit day -100- since 2012).

After a low of 54 yesterday, made it up to 78 for a high.

Currently 60 with dp a pleasant 56.

August ended with 1.99" of rain.  Kicked off September with a low of 55F this morning.  Models don't look too optimistic for rainfall to start this month.  Lets hope this fall doesn't end up like the last one with monster wildfires.

A couple climate statistics for Allentown as we wrapped up August:

• The average temperature was 70.0F, the coolest August since 2008.
  • Likewise the average minimum was 58.3F, the lowest since 2008.
• The lowest minimum recorded was 45F, which is the lowest August min since 2000 (which tied with a min of 45). The next year that recorded a lower minimum in August is 1986!
• 1.6" of precip fell, which is the driest August since 2008.

The sun is a bit active today.  Space weather has been more exciting than Earth weather.

Not much to yak about. Even the tropics are fairly quiet.  Need the rain though. 

Go Birds!

13 of the 19 current Chester County stations recorded their driest August on record. Of note those stations have less years with data. That said on average it appears this to be the 3rd driest August since 1893 across our fair county. The driest such months occurred in 1896 and 1943.
