Yes indeed, too close… Good thing that my family went to the basement for about 20 minutes during the Warning. You just can’t take chances in these situations. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Yesterday's high here in East Nantmeal was only 72.7 this set a new low maximum temperature for the date set back in 2005 of 73.7. Another below normal temperature day today with highs not far from 80 degrees. Shower chances increase tomorrow afternoon and again on Friday into Friday night. Temperatures remain near normal through the weekend before warming a few degrees above with highs by the middle of next week in the mid to upper 80's. Does not look like any return of 90 degree plus reading across the county for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Congrats! And that's exactly where my AC resides 24/7. Thank you and thank everyone for letting me vent from my swamp castle the past few days. If anything I'm now interested in seeing what DIY solar, backup power solution I dump my weekends into. Because why do things easy when I can program a raspberry pi, a used portable solar generator and whatever gas generator I come across in a couple weeks as some people always sell after the appropriate amount of time.I also will be posting my final heatwave rankings, where I decided to get in the muck of temperature trends to have a defensible adjustment so that every year is as equivalent as possible to 2025. I think the results are absolutely amazing and will spark some fun conversationsSent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, hopefully those who saw them this past weekend won't see them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
