E PA/NJ/DE Summer 2026 Obs/Discussion


Recommended Posts

After a very wet August across the area we start September with more shower chances over the first few days of the month. Today looks to be the warmest day and likely driest with highs ranging from the mid 80's here in East Nantmeal with some 90's possible in valley locations. Tomorrow will be a good 10 degrees cooler but also a better shot of some showers. With a cold front passing through we begin to trend cooler as we head into the Labor Day Weekend. High temperatures through the weekend looks to remain in the mid to upper 70's with overnight lows in the 50's.

Below is the Chester County area Climate Summary for August 2026. August finished just slightly above normal +0.6 degrees as the 52nd warmest and the 16th wettest since 1871. Through the 1st 8 months of 2026 we are running 0.7 degrees below normal temperature wise which is the 57th warmest over 151 years but only the 103rd warmest on a composite anomaly basis.

They haven't said yet.  I'm guessing it has to be Adam Joseph, right?  

With the MLB lockout looming, maybe Mike Trout retires after the season and takes over. We all know Trout has a love for meteorology.

[Most likely not going to happen (at least right now), but crazier things have happened. Realistically, though, the Phillies need to make a trade for Trout. Philly already has LeBron, now time for the baseball team to land the big fish.]

Below is the summer (June-July-August) temperature summary for 2026 and summer temperature history from 1871-1926. This was 33rd warmest summer but overall since 1895 there has been no statistically significant warming or cooling across both the raw and composite trend and only the NCEI adjusted averages indicate any significant summer warming.image.thumb.png.2d2ddc4dc68ddbf6d2b1a0d8f2a206d0.png

Hearing some rumbles of thunder from those storms up around Reading. Hoping for at least a breeze down this way!

Same. Thought something was nearby but when I looked at the radar, nothing was in the area.

84F/DP 77F

Some decent winds, and possibly hail with the mid-level circulation between Mertztown and Alburtis, moving to the Southeast.

Getting “clipped” by this in Macungie and it is pretty intense rain and wind, no hail imby. Lots of thunder but it strikes are further away. Already have 0.48” in very short period of time.

A couple of big bangs of thunder a breeze maybe 15 mph and picked up a whopping 0.10" here in Media.

It almost looked like the radar did not match what was happening at the surface here.

The lightning around our area was impressive from the surrounding areas but that here was only thing really noteworthy with these storms.

Before the storms came 86f humidity 75% dew point was 74f felt like 94f

Now: 74f humidity 89% dew point 71 serious waste of calm conditions and just still latent heat here, but I am sure that was dished out in other areas. 

The ring of fire.
