This is MUCH better than yesterday was.

I'll tell you though, it felt great running in 69 degrees and cloudy yesterday. Not nice weather obviously, but great for outdoor exercise.

Wouldn't surprise me if Sunday ends up cloudy with a few showers around.  But otherwise looks nice

Is "nice" to you 40 inches of snow per hour?

Disgusting outside. And of course storms falling apart on arrival.

We need at least 2 weeks of uninterrupted sunshine. I'm going to enjoy hearing people who whined about this summer being hot are shocked when next summer is 3-5 degrees hotter.  This wasnt a hot summer, mostly just humid and wet. We better hit 90 for my birthday on September 15th!

In terms of 95°+ days it was pretty high ranking for many locations. Areas away from the sea breeze made it to 35 days of 90° and over 40 days at the Philly stations.

But this would have been a cooler summer in the past during developing super El Niños.

Most summers following super El Niños had more heat than the one while it was still developing like this year. So we would expect more heat than this one during the next few summers. 

Since the ridge axis this summer was out near 100W, the strongest heat this summer in our region was from Philly to ACY. We have been getting the stalled fronts with too much convection here to have the kind of heat areas just to our south did. 

The start of September looks like more of the same with the main heat dome staying to our west. Maybe we can get a day or two next week near 90° but it could stay closer to Philly.  

Have a very happy birthday coming up. You pick the perfect spot at a higher elevation which is cooler than areas just to your south and east.

Summer 2026 heat dome centered near 100W

 

Next 10 days look like more of the same

Past developing super El Niño summers have been much cooler with more troughs than ridges

In advance, have a very happy birthday.
