Meteorologist Chris Martz making headlines as a source for debunking many climate myths pushed by alarmists and extremists! Great to see the press starting to come around!!! https://nypost.com/2025/05/31/us-news/meet-the-anti-greta-thunberg-weather-nerd-debunking-climate-myths-and-skewering-the-extremist-elder-statesmen/?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=nypost&utm_medium=social

I will take this over to the Chester County specific climate thread going forward. Below is the now infamous GHOST YEARS of our long Chester County PA Climate History. The chilling chart below highlights those murky 53 years of climate records from 1895 through 1947. The National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI) has in a spooky 52 of those 53 years chillingly changed our historical climate records. But what makes this especially frightening is they did not use any actual living trained National Weather Service cooperative data records for any of those years. Instead they identified a surrogate Ghost Station whose soulless resident data ended up reporting data as the coldest place in Chester County. Somehow each and every year this station reported colder average annual temperatures compared to up to six (6) actual real reporting climate stations across Chester County in all those many years. Where did this Ghostly data come from? Why was it always colder at this station than at any real station? Don't be scared - the truth is out there!!

Moving this over here! Below is the now infamous GHOST YEARS of our long Chester County PA Climate History.

But what makes this especially frightening is they did not use any actual living trained National Weather Service cooperative data records for any of those years. Instead they identified a surrogate Ghost Station whose soulless resident data was reported as strangely the coldest place in Chester County. Somehow each and every year this station managed to report colder average annual temperatures than up to six (6) actual real reporting climate stations across Chester County in 52 of those 53 years. Where did all of this Ghostly data come from? Why was it always colder at this station than at any real station? Don't be scared - the truth is out there!!

Charlie above attempts to alter even further the official NWS data. He chooses to not include many other valid NWS observation sites in his chart above...plus his explanation as always ignores the continued non stop chilling of the data for another 30 years from 1969 thru 1999. Let's once again show the factual actual raw non-altered real National Weather Service data for Chester County PA from 1893 thru 2024. Guess what we see? Clearly, without the spurious altered data shown in red - almost flat annual temperature trends across the NWS Chester County stations. Facts (blue raw) over fiction (red altered)as always wins!

It looks like rainfall across the area ranged from as little as 0.48" at Atglen to as much as 1.51" at Devault. One more round of showers may cross the area late this afternoon and early evening with a strong cold front. We finally clear up tomorrow and begin a stretch of our best weather so far this spring. Most spots except the higher ridges should reach 80 degrees by Tuesday with low to mid 80's for all by Thursday.

Of course there is.... note that red line that is the altered data! Blue flat - alternative fact data Red!!

Some sun today with temperatures finally near normal in the mid 70's for the end of May. Heavy Rain tonight into tomorrow with as much as 2 to 3 inches possible in some locations. The wet and chilly pattern looks to finally break starting Sunday and into next week with temperatures by Wednesday in the low 80's.

We may not get to question data that is objectively real.....but altered data that has made consistent chilling adjustments to data for almost every year from 1893 - 1999 and then turn around and warm most years since Y2K....Is objectively fake and not anywhere close to real.

Cyclical climate change refers to the Earth's natural, recurring cycles of warming and cooling over long periods, primarily driven by Milankovitch cycles. These cycles, related to variations in the Earth's orbit and axial tilt, alter the amount of solar radiation received at different latitudes, influencing climate patterns.

So to adjust for what you think is caused by the move.... why not for 102 years of the 105 years from 1893 thru 1999 let's adjust each every year downward an average of 1.1 degrees with a range as high as 2.7 degrees of chilled altered data over that time and then start warming most years since 1999.....faked data is not real data!

Or to fuel your own cyclical climate change denialism.....

Some area rain totals yesterday ranged from as much as 2.66" at Nottingham to only 0.86" at Devault. Here in East Nantmeal with yesterday's 1.14" of rain we are now over 8 inches of rain for the month. This is the wettest May since I moved here in 2004. The wettest all-time May in Chester County goes way back to 1894. When from 11.54" at Kennett Square to as much as 14.60" fell in West Chester. Today will be dry but any break from the rain will be short lived as wet weather moves back in late tonight and will last off and on through much of Saturday. Finally sunny skies return on Sunday. On a climate note today marks the latest recorded freezing temperature here in Chester County when on this day back in 1936 Phoenixville recorded a low temperature of 32 degrees.

Not the first time I have been called brilliant!! Thanks again Bdgwx!!

Of course not at all Charlie. The data is clearly materially and statistically close enough to all other available county data to validate the raw data as is. Any well after the fact adjustments and alterations are not fact or evidenced based.

Done I have thrown out all data that I can prove is wrong!! thanks!!

Got it.... if we find stations that are materially wrong compared to other stations in the local geography then if we can prove this I would eliminate those years or months but keep all others observations that are relatively consistent. Keeping in mind the inherent variability in observations across a relatively small area. Now if that is at all even possible??

So far in East Nantmeal we have received 0.17" of rain. Over a half inch has already fallen across southern areas of Chester County and down into Northern Maryland. We all should see upwards of another inch of rain today with very chilly temperatures remaining in the mid to upper 50's. This could be yet another top 5 low max temperature this afternoon for some stations in the county. We look to dry out a bit on Thursday before more shower chances arrive tomorrow night into Friday. We should clear it up by later Saturday, but we should see it continued below normal temperatures to close out the month. Of note May appears likely to finish with below normal temperatures for the County. This will mark the 4th below normal month in the last 6 months with December, January, February and now May featuring colder than normal average temperatures.

Typhoon I comprehend a slight cyclical warming world that is not scary or an existential threat. Climate is and remains an inexact science when trying to model the past before 1750....climate that occurred before on earth will of course come again.....simply cyclical no denying that!!

The problem always remains you cannot prove a National Weather Cooperative certified at the time record as wrong unless you find another station outside of the area (like here in Chester County Pa) and use that as a proxy to then validate the adjustment. That is clearly not science in this man's worldview.

Today will feature our 9th consecutive cooler than normal day. Clouds will be on the increase as our next rain event approaches late tonight and lasts through the day tomorrow. Tomorrow will also be an unseasonably chilly day with highs again remaining in the 50's with the exception of near 60 in some lower elevation spots. We could see another 0.5" to 1.0" of rain as we continue to now move into a surplus position regarding rainfall. Thursday through Saturday while not a wash out by any means could still have some showers before we dry out by Saturday PM into Sunday.
