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.

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.

Happy Red October for those who celebrate - Go Phillies!! I will have the final September climate wrap up for Chester County later today, but it looks like we finished with slightly above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall. We have had 5 months with above normal temperatures and 4 months with below normal temperatures so far here in 2025. We are much cooler this morning with the chilliest spot being the 49.5 degrees at Chester Springs. We will see dry weather with below normal temperatures through Friday and then a nice warmup through next Tuesday before we cool down again during the middle to end of next week. As has been the case no rain in sight.

Happy hump day.  Just parsing over extended, and it looks like a week from today will be a notable step into fall weather.  Not looking too deep, but hoping the pattern change being shown holds, as cooler and wetter times are being shown.  Wood stove likely gets first burn next week.

In 1963 we no fall. Average high temperatures in October for the month were a ridiculous 71.7, a plus 6 departure from Normal. It hit 87 on October 7th. In total 5 days were 80 or above and an insane 15 were 75. The mean high temperature was 4th highest all time. Our lows however were a negative 3.5 from normal at 42.5. The reason? Not only did we have the driest October on record, but it was also the single driest month ever, and still is, at 0.04". My dear weather nerds, what followed was pure beauty of snow starting December 10. Following is December to March snow
