Well - If Elliott from MU is right, we're looking at 25-35 days of temps in the 90s from July right through September. Plenty of heat is coming. More heat than normal, actually.

Already disgusted with today. Cold, windy, and mostly cloudy.

Less than a month away from the solstice and it feels more like mid to late fall.

Yes it certainly feels like fall out there.

I’ve been too busy to pay attention to the weather and don’t know it’d be this windy today.  N winds at 40.

Thank you for the wind report from the 'Burg.

As we get into the summer months lower elevation (<450 ft asl) areas of Chester County PA will see at least one heat wave (defined as 3 or more consecutive days with highs at 90 degrees or above) while the relatively higher ridge locations (>600 ft asl) only average a heat wave every couple of years or so. Below sorted by highest to lowest elevation is a ranking of all reporting stations since 2000 with their recorded heat waves. Our lowest elevation spot at Phoenixville averages a whopping two to four times the number of heat waves as almost all other locations across the county.

The wind has been impacting my daughter’s softball tournament.

Gusts have been blowing dust around all day.
