BucksCO_PA Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The is july is going to go down as the warmest july on record at Philadelphia. This is the 4th consecutive top 10 warm month and an incredible 11 out of the past 16 months. The (21) 90 or > days this month also ties several months as the most on record. 100 degree heat also making comeback after a hiatus for the better part of the past decade, triple digit heat in consecutive yrs for only the 2nd time since the 1950's.

JCT777 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Excellent stats! Really shows how hot it has been the past 2 summers. A few things that stand out are the number of 90+ days in May 1991...7 more than the year in 2nd place. Wow! Also, those 7 days in September 1983 of 90+ were crazy...easily one of the hottest September stretches I can remember (a number of those days topped out in the 95 to 98 range). Sitting in school during the first full week with no A/C was not much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easternsnowman Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 We are at the point now where the so called norms especially for the summer are meaningless in relation to today's climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg ralls Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 2nd hottest right now (78.9). Any chance we'll catch last year's all-time record hottest summer? I know it shattered the old mark by a full degree, so I'm guessing this summer won't quite get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August would have to be the warmest on record and then some (81.2 is the magic #)....warmest August on record is 80.0 in 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
