Looks like maybe a few parts of southern parts of York county (Hanover area) at least unofficially cracked the century mark. Also, MDT at 98 but with a dew point of 58 gives them a real feel of 97. -
Lower dews combined with the breeze and it's almost bearable. Not quite...but close.
-
I got to 98.2 but have backed off to 97.6 right now. It's breezy here as well. I've had almost wall to wall sunshine and still do but it doesn't look like I'll make the century mark barring a last minute surge. I even sent my wife outside to start talking to the neighbor women but still not enough hot air.
-
New high for the year, 98 here now and slowly rising...
-
Up to 95.4/64.4
-
Interesting, very little in the way of any cloudiness here. A few wisps of high clouds and a distant Cumulus field is just now starting to build to my west.
-
94/66 here at 12:30, which gives me a HI of 97. A bit lower than yesterday thanks to lower dews. Going back to Friday, my noon time dew points were: Friday - 73 Saturday - 64 Sunday - 71 Today - 66
-
Holy crap, Lancaster is at 95 already.
-
92.8 here at 11AM... ...but there is a breeze!
-
Yesterday seemed to be about the amount of clouds in any one given area - I managed a late afternoon high of 97 but also had a lot of clouds and even a light shower during the "prime time" hours of 12-3. I'm at 86.6 right now with just a little high cirrus.
-
Lancaster (MU) hit 99 officially today. My high was 97.
-
That's more than you've received since 2017.
-
State College is getting raked right now.
-
Ironically, my HI has been under 100 nearly the entire day. It's sitting right on 100 now for the first time since 12:30.

Don't agree with this. "Close enough" when being evaluated is going to result in an inferior evaluation. At least "close enough" doesn't cut it often with my superiors. Further...what is "close enough?" 2 degrees? 4 degrees? Moving goalposts leads to both confusion and frustration. It becomes very subjective. And then you have a mess.
-
Totally understand that.
-
1. Not asking you, but are local offices evaluated on forecast accuracy? If so, the letter of the law matters. 2. Why have criteria if it's not going to be followed? How much "fudging" is acceptable? I'm not being argumentative, you raise a valid point. At the same time there might be reasons they do what they do that we're not aware of.

Really glad you brought this up. As someone who travels to Florida a lot (though not as much as you) I laugh when people from our area say they could never do summers in Florida. Yes, the heat and humidity is relentless, but during our heat waves up here we're typically running hotter and sometimes nearly as humid as down there. We've made a couple of July trips and both times it was 3-5 degrees cooler in Orlando than it was back here.
-
Current HI here is 96...in NY, I meet the criteria. For our location I'm still 4 degrees short. It's hot, advisories or not.
-
Heat Advisory criteria in NY is for a Heat Index lasting a minimum of 2 hours of at least 95, here in PA it's 100. It differs in different areas just like snow amounts do in the winter. CTP's advisories look good to me for their area based on criteria and what is expected.
-
CTP going for a HI of 104 here in Lanco Monday. Yuck...
-
It was nuts the 4th of July weekend and then died on Monday the 6th. My family was spread out on both sides of the lake so my wife and I actually got in the water on both sides. Ranger told me the water temp was 85...it felt like it. Warmest water that I can remember and I've been in the Caribbean waters in July in the past.
-
94.4 was my high today...maybe one of the best feeling 94 degree days that I can remember. It took me almost 30 seconds to sweat outside which is pretty good.
-
93/61 at 3PM.
-
89 at noon here, but with a dewpoint of 64 which is significantly lower than yesterday's 73 reading. It's not THAT bad out.
