80's in October is sacrilege. I guess we are paying for August

Remember the year we had 90's in October? I think it was either 07 or 08.

I think it was 2008. I feel like I remember watching people at the Bank dropping dead of heat stroke during a Phillies game.

62 when I left the house. Carry on.

Enjoying this late summer warmth...sometime soon those cold gusty 30-40 mph northerly winds will takeover. Making it unpleasant to be outside. Not looking forward to those unrelenting winds. Until then, I'll take what this current warm weather has to offer.

KMDT hit 93 on Oct 2, 2019, Cap City reached 95... I was not a happy camper.

Today we should see temperature once again reach above normal levels in the mid to upper 70's. There will however be a noticeable lowering of humidity and dew points by this afternoon. We cool to below normal levels as we start October tomorrow with high temperatures across most of the county remaining in the mid to upper 60's for the rest of the work week. By the weekend we should see a warming trend with temperatures rising into the mid to upper 70's. There is almost no chance of rain for at least the next week.

Ninetys in Minnesota next week.

Who is ready for October starting tomorrow. We have seen summer like readings of 100 degrees and temperatures in the teens. We even occasionally see snow. Who remembers 2011 when between 5" to 9" of snow fell across the county? October Chester County PA records are below.
