Albedoman Posted yesterday at 03:53 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:53 AM I am really concerned with this COLD weather. In tonights 18z, I counted at least 8 days in the next 15 days with lows in the mid to upper 30's and many days not breaking out of the low 50's. This is by far the coldest spring I can remember in 40 + years. Snow flurries and graupel a real good possibility at these temps if moisture shows its face at the right time. Cloudy days will force me to run the heater. I have never run the heater in May before. The sycamore leaves are now gone and wilted from the freeze. The other PA forum indicates strawberry damage in Lancaster and York and complete fruit tree bud destruction. This maybe the year with "no summer" again at this juncture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This maybe the year with "no summer" again at this juncture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer Stop exaggerating. This is nowhere near the coldest spring in 40+ years. March and April were well above average. Top 10 warmest, in fact. Almost half of the springs since 1980 were colder than this year's March and April. And you're lying if you say you've never run the heater in May before. (Does May 9, 2020 ring a bell?) Also, we're not getting a year with "no summer". Keep in mind, the last significantly cold summer in this area was 2009. The most recent cool summers, like 2014 and 2023, are very near the 1981-2010 averages.

RedSky Posted yesterday at 04:29 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:29 PM The big warm spikes raised the average for March and April above normal but strangely the northeast trough still persisted. If you know anything about growing late April through May is the key growth period for crops everything is being stunted by this cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago Farmers have had a double whammy this spring as the drought persisted through the first three weeks of April adversely affecting early spring plantings and high fertilizer cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Below for the Philly burbs of Chester County PA are the all-time May climate records and below that the climate trends for the month. Based on the actual historical data (blue) our average May temperatures show a slight cooling trend since 1893 while the adjusted NCEI (red) temperatures indicate a very slight warming trendline.

ChescoWx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Another below normal temperature day on tap today before we see a brief warm up with some valley locations touching 80 degrees by Tuesday before we turn much chillier again by the end of the week. Highs by Thursday through Saturday may struggle to escape the upper 50's. Rain chances increase with a cold front by Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
