We have had 5 straight well below normal days in fact this is the 2nd chilliest start to August in my 22 years of records here in East Nantmeal behind only the start of August 2021. We should be closer to normal temperatures today before we fall back a few degrees below normal for Thursday through Saturday before we should start a nice warmup into the middle of next week. Cloudy with maybe some sprinkles today - otherwise sunny and dry for most of the next week.

You never disprove the raw data you just say there must be some "kind of data issue" - or hey let's look instead at the COOP data since 2000 ... just moving the goalposts. Sure you can find altered adjusted data or conduct more faulty analysis that says otherwise, but that doesn't negate the findings from the high quality actual raw data.

Updated 90 degree days this summer through today along with average 90+ days in a typical entire summer. So still time to get to normal at some locations. Of note PHL Airport has recorded 30 such days and Reading Airport with 21 days.

For sure a little from around 53.6 to about 54.3 at KRDG....of course we are in a warming cycle for the last 30 years....but why is PHL going up so much faster?

Some folks on my FB page asked me to start running some deeper analytic dives into Berks County climate data. Below is KRDG Airport average annual temperatures vs. KPHL Airport and Chester County. 1949 through 2024. Oh that PHL UHI pulling away!

Following our first 4 days with well below normal temperatures we rebound today to near normal. It will be a bit cloudier both today and tomorrow. Clearer skies return on Thursday through the weekend with temperatures near to a little below normal levels for early August. Next rain chances look like next Monday at the earliest.

The first 3 days of August have featured temperatures nearly 10 degrees below normal. We see temperatures rebound this PM to near normal with highs in the low to mid 80's. Similar temperatures tomorrow before we turn again a few degrees below normal to close out the work week. Near normal temperatures return next weekend. Rain chances look slight but more clouds and maybe a shower on Wednesday.

For those searching for UHI adjustments at the PHL Airport....we found them - but in 26 of the last 29 years NCEI has actually made warming adjustments....green is raw.
