How are you exporting it in such a clean format?

Wow that's a gorgeous interface. All that's missing is dark mode.

102 at 3pm.

[TheDreamTraveler]

Holy shit it's 103 right now. That's right on the cusp of a top 10 hottest ever for here. Dew point is not as bad as yesterday so the heat index is around identical to what we had.

[canderson]

MDT up to 101

[canderson]

MDT now has hit 102 in several 5 min increments.

Thank you. I repurposed an old Windows laptop to run Ubuntu server and WeeWx and have it plugged into a switch with my other server in my room into a coax adapter. My Ecowitt hub I have it customized to send data to WeeWx. I also send stuff to PWS weather because they give a free API account to xweather with 5000 calls a day. I had Claude built me a customized html interface for it and I now have a weekly automated pull via python for the closest 25 PWS, coap, asos stations that pulls 5 minute data for most over the past week so that I could use homogenization and A couple QC algorithms to check my sensors and adjust calibration levels.

I've spent the last two weeks trying to figure out why and how my surface (5cm) has higher moisture than 25-30cm down

94.8 degrees for the high so far today in EN. This is now the 5th warmest reading here in East Nantmeal in the last 23 years back to 2004! Top 10 warmest are below...of note that same day 7/22/11 is the only day KMQS Coatesville Airport has ever recorded a 100 degree reading.

Yes sir. 102 was my high here. Down a notch to 101 now. 

[Voyager]

It's looking like 98 is going to be my high for today.

You might want to get your setup augmented, it's at least 3 to 5 degrees low.

Yup. The 4012 is up there on static display. For a bit, they parked the operating Big Boy next to the static one.

After this stretch it's safe to say my trout fishing is over until late September.

Same. No way I'm fishing in this heat.

[ChescoWx]

As of 5pm no Chester County professional stations have hit 100 degrees the highest was at the Longwood Gardens DEOS with 99.3 degrees. All stations were between 95 and 99 degrees

[Yardstickgozinya]

I just had to make way for the local porta john for a heat related blowout, if you know what I mean. It must have been a hundred and forty degrees inside that f****** thing. That turned my day  real s***** quick no pun intended. 

[Blizzard of 93]

102 for the high today at MDT, which is 16 degrees above normal.

We did Not beat the record of 104 set back in 1966.

Of course not...even today only a 1.8 degree difference from the highest elevation station mine in East Nantmeal at 94.8 and West Grove in far Southern Chesco at 96.6

I told my wife & daughters that today would be like in January when the average high is 39, but we get a 55 degree day.

They were not amused…lol!

[Yardstickgozinya]

From the porch, i'm laying mulch at today. Not sure how accurate it is.But it's definitely worse than yesterday.

Elevation doesn't make that much of a difference, you aren't 5000 feet above the rest of the county.

LOL!! Both you and @Stebohave of course been clearly wrong for years as the below data certainly shows. Below is an analysis of the US Climate Resource Network Site here in Chester County vs. East Nantmeal for the last 19 years of average annual temperature data. Well looky at this! Over the last 19 years we are not only close we are exactly the same!!! 53.2 degrees vs 53.2 degrees!!  If you are unfamiliar with US CRN it is a systematic network of more than 130 highly accurate climate-monitoring stations across the United States, managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Now how many degrees again do you think EN is off??

Stay in school kids get good grades.

Stebo is a degreed meteorologist, I’ll trust his thoughts on the matter over some guy with a weather station and an agenda. Can I see a pic of your setup?
