My family & I are leaving on a cruise out of Philly. We get a couple of days in Bermuda & a day in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  I’ll be back late next week!

Our great weather continues with temperatures not far from normal as we close out July and move into August. Our next rain chances start to increase by Sunday.

Halifax is a great city. The maritime museum, the garden, the fort and great great restaurants.

If anyone is interested in where the 19 current stations that feed our current active philly burbs of Chester County PA area weather data below is a map along with what type of station/reporter they have. Let me know if any questions. Thanks! There is also an interactive map with more detailed station detail that you can hover over on the ChescoWx website at https://chescowx.com/detailed-station-data/

58 degrees this morning. Looks like my record high for the month is going to be 102 degrees. 
3.22” precipitation for the month. Normal precipitation is 4.47”

That 1.79” sure helped this week.

NWS State College: 

July goes out like a lamb after a record-setting month. Our
office issued 12 Tornado Warnings in July, which is the most
since 1996 when we issued 25. 95 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings is
the 3rd most in any July on record, behind 1996 (96) and 2021
(122). Year-to-date, 226 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings is the
most on record, passing 2019 (221), and 24 Tornado Warnings is
4th most behind 1998 (55), 2011 (37), and 1996 (30). 250 total
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings + Tornado Warnings is the most on
record year-to-date, passing 2019 (241).
