First off my analysis is certainly not for any climate division as PHL/NE PHL/Marcus Hook are part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain and not in the Piedmont no matter how the above is grouped. The land geography changes to rolling hills west of philly. The raw data for Chester County PA stands and of course is the actual data specific and exclusively for Chester County. Pooling non related data from another county and topography like multiple Philadelphia stations and Marcus Hook is not represent the actual Chester County data. -
Sunny and warm today but a bit less humid. Rain chances increase by tomorrow night with a cold front approach. A flood watch in effect for tomorrow night and then rain chances continue for most of the week with the remnants of Debby moving up the coast late week. Chester County records for today: High 102 degrees at Kennett Square (1918) / Low 44 degrees at Phoenixville (1951) / Rain 2.43" at Phoenixville (1923)

Below is an analysis of the actual average annual Chester County PA temperatures over the last 100 years from 1924 through 2023. We have been in our current warming cycle since the 1990's but have to date still failed to reach the warmth we experienced in the 1930's. Will we get as warm as then before our next cooling cycle??

Most spots across the county have seen between 0.5 and 2 inches of rain over the last couple days. The most I found was at West Grove with 2.06" and the least at Devault with only 0.63". Shower chances again this afternoon. Tomorrow looks like the sunniest day of the week with temps well into the 80's and maybe 90 in some lower spots in Chesco. Rain chances ramp up again on Tuesday and look to last for much of the week including some remnants from Tropical Storm Debby. Chester County records for today: High 104 degrees at Phoenixville (1931) / Low 47 degrees at Coatesville (1951) / Rain 6.23" at West Bradford (2020) from the remnants of TS Isaias.

As has been the case much of this summer some pretty wide ranges in rainfall amounts since yesterday across the county. Some totals Nottingham 1.26" / West Grove 1.17" / Warwick Twp. 1.12" / East Nantmeal 0.95" / Atglen 0.91" / West Bradford 0.54" / Chester Springs 0.47" / Devault 0.26" / Brandywine Airport 0.16" More rain chances today and tomorrow. Monday looks sunny and likely the only day this week with a chance at a 90 degree reading in some spots. By mid week temperatures should trend to be a bit cooler than normal for early August. Chester County records for today: High 102 degrees at West Chester (2002) / Low 47 degrees Morgantown/Elverson (1959) / Rain 4.55" at West Chester (1950)

We finished July across Chester County with an average temperature of 76.9 degrees. This is the 19th warmest July since 1893 - the warmest being July 2011. The first 7 months of 2024 with an average temperature of 54.8 degrees is the 4th warmest start to a year- the all time warmest being way back in 1921 . The warmest temperature in July 2024 was the 99 degrees at Phoenixville (16th) and the lowest was the 52.9 degrees at Warwick Twp. (2nd). The wettest spot during July was at Spring City where 5.04" of rain fell the least rain fell at KOQN Brandywine Airport where only 1.70" of rain fell. Ranking below:

Absolutely not! It has nothing to do with global temperature trends. It is exclusively about the actual climate of Chester County PA

We ended July here in East Nantmeal with our warmest July since 2020....but only 1 degree above normal. Rainfall wise we were about 0.5" below normal but we are still running 2.5" above normal for the year to date. A hot and humid start to August with rain chances increasing as we get to the weekend. Chester County wide records for today: High 104 degrees at Phoenixville (1933) / Low 47 degrees at Coatesville way back in 1895 / Rain 3.26" at West Chester in 2004.

No all NWS COOP/AWOS/MADIS locations

Truth!!
-
Sorry Tim I am using the averages across all 28 NWS county stations since 1894 to smooth out any equipment issues etc. No bias for any one individual station.
-
Here in Chester County PA 9 of our top 20 warmest summers occurred in the 1930's and 1940's during our warmest cyclical warming phase. During our current cyclical warming phase - 6 of the top 20 have occurred since 2000.

Agreed 100% I changed my profile pic yesterday to change the Phillies luck.....it did not go swell! So now I have changed it back to Phillies with a different logo. Trying to bring back the good juju!! Go Phillies!!!
-
We will have to go to the actual statistics for Chesco back to 1894 to assess...but I would be stunned if this is a hottest summer!

Rain chances should ramp up later today especially to the west and southwest of Chester County. Tonight looks to have the best chance of some heavy rain in spots. Sun returns to end out the week before the next chance of showers Friday into Sunday. Chester County Records for today: High 99 degrees at Kennett Square (1917) / Low 48 degrees at Phoenixville (1956) / Rain 4.06" at Phoenixville (1971)

As we have just passed Christmas in July....and for the many of you on Team Snow - why not list out all of the greatest annual snow seasons (October-April) on record across the Chester County NWS cooperative and trained spotter observation sites. That 1957-58 winter looks like the snow winner.

Thanks Tip! Always enjoy your thoughts! Regarding the "cherry picker" comment - the reality is I use and show all of the available the actual raw NWS cooperative, automated and MADIS stations available for the County. I will usually ad in the NCEI adjusted data so we can see the difference in trend lines comparing the actual and the altered data for analysis. I of course cannot change the actual raw data.....those required NCEI adjustments will as they are today be handled later. As long as I continue to include the raw data without any omissions it will continue to be the furthest thing from "cherry picking" of data. With all do politeness.
