Once again.  Maybe I'll actually get something today?  It's currently 89.7F with a 76F dew.

Edit: Just hit 90F for the third consecutive day.

Edit 2:  It's all collapsing into a pile of blah.

It had a good hook on it for a bit and left some wind damage.

I did hit 90 today so being the 3rd day, officially another "heatwave".

Currently 84 and stormy looking with dp 73.

Here comes the humidity. It was comfortable here 2 hours ago…not so much now. Hopefully we get some rain later to cool us down.

This will be my last full week in the Lehigh Valley for awhile - possibly ever? I’m moving to Denver in a week and a half because it’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to live and I’m now in a position to give it a try. It gets hot out there sometimes but it’s a dry heat. “Humid” there is a DP of 60. It’s going to be quite the adjustment but I’m looking forward to living in a place with such volatile weather.

Good luck, and enjoy!

I had a request to update the "heatwave" stats to something potentially more meaningful. Which is 3 or more consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures above the 90th and 95th percentile for all Chester County Stations. The below rank summary makes the absolute-vs-relative divergence concrete. Sorted by absolute rank, the biggest movers are the 2010s (11th → 4th) and 2020s (13th → 6th), both rising 7 places once heat is judged against each station's own norm — meaning recent decades have been locally extreme even though they weren't absolutely record-hot. Going the other way, the 1960s (−4) and 1990s (−5) fall under the relative lens, and the 1940s slip from 1st to 3rd. The 1930s hold firm near the top under both definitions, and the 1950s actually take the #1 spot under P90

Started bringing in some pumpkins from the garden this morning. A clear sign fall is approaching quickly. 

Flies are becoming lazy and slow as well. 

Is your 100+ Powerpoint slide presentation for this upcoming Winter almost finished?
