Sky just got super dark, but we're squarely in the fringezone:

I agree with this. I also think we can all agree that you do have maybe just a wee little bit of bias in your data? No? You are the only one here consistently saying "Oh, look how cold it is here in East Nantmeal compared to everywhere else! Climate change and global warming are obviously false!" I mean, you haven't actually said that (have you?) but I've been here long enough to discern that that's obviously your meaning. You're at a much higher elevation than many of the rest of us (this has been pointed out to you numerous times). Nearby weather stations at lower elevations (where most of the rest of us live) do not reflect your observations, as perfectly calibrated as they may be. As crass as this exchange may have been, how do you reconcile your empirical deviations with nearby stations that you have not cherry-picked to support your claims? (I will not throw any more graphs at you; I've already done so, and you did not provide any meaningful feedback.) Or are we all to believe that all of our observations are complete trash because our equipment isn't all NIST/NOAA certified? We have actual meteorologists (and other scientists, myself included) on this sub, and it'd be a real shame if we lost their participance due to the obstinance of some members to recognize how science actually works. You don't find data to fit your hypothesis. You evolve your hypothesis over time because of the data, even if it means you are initially wrong. Climate change is real, sir, and no amount of shouting "East Nantmeal is getting colder!" is going to change that. I'm done arguing with you and have decided to put you on ignore. You are an outlier here in this forum. Take that as you will, and please do enjoy your sweet, insulated life atop East Nantmeal; I've driven through it many times, and it truly does look like and sound like a lovely place to live. For now. ********************* AS AN OBS. Hoping this heat wave breaks tomorrow. From my shitty back yard weather station: Cheers and goodnight everyone. Let's all put this to bed.

1.18" in total, a good soaker. We needed it. Forecast calls for t-storms from 6am to 11pm, LOL I really, highly doubt it. 68°F right now, and has climbed a little bit in the past hour... This is not normal for this time of year, is it? There is still plenty of juice in the atmosphere, DP is 67, so we're definitely primed for more rain, we shall see if it actually happens. I keep waiting for that "traditional" pattern change that used to take place around Labor day...

Well that escalated quickly:

Well dang. You love to see it:

Ok, radar's starting to fill in to my south. Finally.

Nothing here. It's all forming just to my north.

97.7°F high IMBY today. This is (literally) not cool. Mid 90's at my work site in southern NJ these past few days, I am DONE with this heat. Sweating though my clothes multiple times per day is something I'd like to really stop doing, please and thank you.

Hope you all enjoyed "False Fall". I sure am: Next week. "Second Summer": UGH. At least the days are shorter now.

What's a KU?

I'll fill in:

That cell that just missed to my north has some impressive looking rotation in all the scud underneath it. I wish I could toss up a drone and get a better look, but RDG might have unkind words to say to me if I did, lol.

That mid-latitude cyclone currently over Iowa looks particularly impressive on satellite: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=regional-northeast-truecolor-48-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined Set to 48 frames and run the slider back and forth to really check it out.

Wow. That happened to us a lot in Chester County. I do not miss it. Apart from the many reasons I don't particularly like living in Reading, our power has been nearly rock-solid here, with only one major outage in the past three years, verses I can't remember how many in Chester County. You could sneeze in our old place in Thorndale and a transformer would blow up somewhere close by.

Yes, thanks for asking. The A/C company told us to turn it off at the breaker for ten minutes if this happened again, as a stop-gap until they could come out again. Thankfully it worked this time, but they'll be out here first thing in the morning (again).

Rolling thunder turned into a huge CRACKA-LACKA right over my house. .75" recorded in the bucket. Still lots of rolling thunder as well.

Rolling thunder and steady rain here. Ended up with 1.11" for yesterday, already closing in on another half inch in just the past 12 minutes.

Indeed! Really enjoying this. Can't have asked for a better August thus far.

Yup, getting a real light show up here, and some distant rumbles. Quite the nice late night storm approaching.

Southwest edge of that storm near West Chester looks pretty mean.

.67" with 1.5"/hr rates. Nice little downpour.

I think this needs to be expanded further south and east:

Is it me, or does that cell NW of Lebabon have the makings of a couplet?

Looks like we could get a cell or two over us pretty soon. 91°F/70DP. AND my @#$!@# A/C is out again. I'm about to lose my shit over this. I'd set up today to be a bread baking and tomato sauce making day. Can't do that without A/C. Mother trucker. MY rye dough is already doing its first rise on the counter. I can barely type right now I'm so seething. Sorry.

One of the Rt 202 intersections in Glen Mills had the stop lights completely ripped off from their mounts on the south-bound lanes. The north-bound lanes had switched to flashing yellows on my drive home, confusing many a motorist. No you idiot, don't stop, proceed with caution through the intersection you absolute dimwits. I swear the level of aptitude required to pass a driving test these days is too damned low.
