mahantango#1 Posted Wednesday at 10:23 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:23 AM US issues emergency order for PJM Interconnection as heatwave looms By Thomson ReutersJun 30, 2026 | 5:14 PM June 30 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Energy on Tuesday declared an emergency across the nation’s largest power grid, citing soaring demand and supply risks as extreme heat grips the region. In an order issued under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act, the energy secretary said a statutory emergency exists in PJM interconnection’s region due to a combination of surging electricity demand and limited generation capacity. PJM submitted a formal request on June 29, warning of an “imminent electricity reliability emergency” driven by high temperature forecasts of around 95 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. PJM is projecting “peak loads of approximately 159,563 megawatts (MW) on July 1, 2026 and approximately 162,860 MW on July 2, 2026. These levels raise risks of supply shortfalls, threatening grid stability. The grid operator also flagged that some generation units could face constraints due to a restriction under an environmental permit or state requirement. The DOE said the order is necessary to ensure sufficient electricity supply and to protect public safety. PJM Interconnection serves a large swathe of the eastern United States, and officials warned that without intervention, extreme weather conditions could lead to system stress severe enough to impact the ability to meet electricity demand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted Wednesday at 10:27 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:27 AM Low of 71. Let’s see how many Ben Franklins we can count the next few days. Stay cool everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted Wednesday at 10:28 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:28 AM 72 for the low, DP 71 kind of mixed feelings about temperatures yesterday. Under my deck which is completely shaded 90 degrees. My other sensor which is partially in the sun was reading 102. The NWS said high was 91 which I’m not really sure that’s right. Stay hydrated theses next few days! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book it. MDT ended the month with a mean temp of 73.8 and only .73" of rain, which is good for the 3rd driest June ever. I received 1.46" in June and have 16.41" for the year. I totaled 52.41" last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Wednesday at 01:13 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:13 PM We finished June with temperatures for the month only slightly above normal. Our extremely hot stretch of weather begins today and will continue through the weekend. The hottest days look to be both Thursday and Friday where we will be in the upper 90's on the ridges and near or above 100 degrees in the valley locales. Shower chances increase by July 4th night and continue into Sunday and Monday. This will start to trim the extremely high temperatures and by next Tuesday we will be back to near normal with highs in the mid 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is due to what type of area it was placed it, canopy location, if it had good radiation shielding, if it used an aspirator, location of it to buildings, decks, house, rows. Realistically elevation is almost certainly less than 5% of the difference Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk Got it! thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahantango#1 Posted Wednesday at 03:19 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:19 PM 82 dewpoint here. Now only if we could get thunderstorms to fire up with the heat and humidity it would be nice. My shirt was completely soaked from sweat working in the garden for 3 5 hrs. Got what needed done. Garden finally drying out from the rain we had and the irrigation that I did before we got the rain. It was basically a muddy mess you sank when you trid to get in the garden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted Wednesday at 04:34 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:34 PM Here in Carlisle just after 12:30pm...the temperature is 94.6 degrees with a dew point of 80.2 degrees. This combination creates a heat index of 115.2 degrees. These numbers are already ridiculous and set to be worse tomorrow. Dew Points of 80+ degrees are not common in our part of the country. It's nearly impossible to exceed a dew point of 83 degrees. It's way too dangerous to go outside for any period of time (for we seniors). I'll update again in the next hour or two. I think 100 degrees here is a possibility, but less than 50% likelihood. Some locations around the LSV are going to reach heat index values of 120+ degrees. Personally, I think I've only ever witnessed an HI at or over 120 degrees maybe 2-3 times my entire life (and I'm 66). I just keep praying for all of us that we don't have brown-outs or worse yet, black-outs. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
