Rainshadow Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 PNE only got to 95. NAM MOS has 101 at PNE, 99 at PHL for today. I can buy 99 for both... PHL has not been a laggard with max temps of late wouldn't be surprised if its higher than PNE today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 PHL has not been a laggard with max temps of late wouldn't be surprised if its higher than PNE today. With PTW, PNE and TTN not running hot anymore (as each of them did once upon a time), maybe its just a matter of PHL taking its rightful place among the local area. Some south Jersey and Delaware sites did beat it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some south Jersey and Delaware sites did beat it, though. I was getting concerned that PHL was becoming the new TTN late last week as they had a string of what looked ligh too high high(s), but they all were with NE winds, so all appears good. So in reality its more PNE being not as hot than PHL becoming hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easternsnowman Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I noticed that the national weather service says there is a heat warning for dangerous heat today. So 90 or 92 for a high in the summer is called dangerous heat for these times.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NWS knows what it's doing. I remember last year one met mentioned that the construction of homes (brick with tar rooves) was somewhat unique to the Philly mentro and more dangerous than other home constructions. And that's not just for Philadelphia proper. There are plenty of row homes in Coatesville and other towns like it to justify the warning for Chester County. You're almost as bad as the guy who wanted a Freezing Rain Advisory every time he got freezing drizzle at 2000 feet ASL even though the rest of the county was above freezing. NWS mets don't tailor warnings to specific board members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly is one of the cities with the highest % of brick housing stock in the country and has the highest percentage of row housing in the US, IIRC. Housing stock here pretty much makes half of the city a working convection oven on 95+ degree days because the brick just bakes on days like yesterday and today. The heat warnings are completely fine as they are set up...the "3 days of 90 = heat wave" in July meme is a bit silly but I doubt anyone will change that anytime soon.

There is no formal official "heat wave" definition. Its kind of like making a photocopy has come to mean making a Xerox, so many people have used three days in a row in the Northeast that its become a defacto definition.
