Alright, who wants their lawn watered? I'm loading one up right now...
-
Even better. When I came back they put me on an 8,000 gallon tank.
-
It's cooler, but I'm not noticing the less humid part, either.
-
Getting soaked in Allentown at my delivery location for the second time tonight. It just doesn't want to stop raining here. Nearest station here showing 0.89", and it's still raining. I thought it would stop shortly after the line blew through.
-
We've been in solid sunshine all morning. Currently 92 degrees here. Missed out on last night's storms. Let's see what happens here today, considering the abundant sunshine.
-
2pm. 98 in Tamaqua.

I don't know. It appears I'm in the ballpark. I'm sitting with DP of 73, and many stations are on or two degrees more or less than mine. Look at Allentown for example.
-
Yes. A baseball's throw just west of the Little Schuylkill River which runs right through town.
-
90 degrees at 10am. Outside of Arizona, I don't think I've ever recorded an earlier 90 reading at my location.

I did question this the past couple of days, but comparing my station against a mercury thermometer in the shade on my back porch, the numbers are comparable. I just now looked at the NWS hourly roundup, and my current 71 dewpoint is equally comparable with all the reporting stations in the region. If it's off, it's not by much.

All this hype about the heat index for the upcoming days, and just last week I recorded a 110 and a 113 heat index, or "feels like" temperature if you prefer on my home station. So far they say what? 105? If so, my recordings were much higher and much worse.

93 steamy degrees here. That morning rain made it really humid now.
-
So that unexpected little storm dropped 0.27" in my backyard. Now they've gone severe warned in Berks and Lehigh Counties.

So that un-predicted little storm dropped 0.27" in my backyard.
-
Yup. I got my standard Fort Worth Ribeye, medium rare.
-
And now it's pouring...
-
And now it's raining and thundering with three pop up cells around me...
-
I'm at 91 / 94 / 88 for those same three days. We'll see if they bust low for my backyard.
-
My station is evidently correct. Full sun and reading 83. The mercury thermometer in the shade under our patio roof is 82. I guess Tamaqua has just become one of the warmer locations in the region.
-
Better take a jacket with you if you go out, then...lol
-
Fixed...
-
That wasn't the wife. It was some other couple.
-
See guys. I got so tired of PA that I moved to Texas now...
-
Mine could be right. An old mercury thermometer on my back patio which is in the shade, but gets some trapped heat due to a restricted airflow, reads 96 currently while my station reads 91. Hard to say for sure.
-
So my high today is 94 (93.7) so far, which seems quite a bit higher than the forecast, and higher than every other official station (Allentown, Lehighton, Philly, etc) Makes me wonder if the fan isn't working properly, or if my sensor is off.
