ChescoWx Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 This latest feeble attempt at a heat wave here in Chester County has not been strong - last 3 days here and at KMQS - still only one 90+ reading this summer while PHL soars toward 20+ such days! Heat Island FTW!! 19th - Chescowx 88.9 / KMQS - 89 20th - Chescowx 89.3 / KMQS - 89 21st - Chescowx 87.3 / KMQS - 87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Wasn't as hot today as yesterday. There was a period of overcast this morning for a few hours (until about 8:30 am). Did hit 93F however. Currently 90F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA - but most folks that are not weather wise would believe they just went through a heat wave as the PHL heat island continues to misrepresent the philly area climate...

Birds~69 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 The whole "heat wave" thing is crap. It has to be 90+ for 3 consecutive days. Ok, I would easily take 90 degree days w/a DP in the low 60s rather than days in the mid-upper 80s w/a DP in the low-mid 70s. But the days in the mid-upper 80s w/a DP in the low-mid 70s don't count as part of a heat wave even though they are way more uncomfortable. And for people like me it's more difficult to breathe. People aren't stupid and they know when it's hot. They don't need the local weather outlets creating drama saying "heat wave" over and over again. We get it...it's F'en hot!

RedSky Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 86F high and liked the lower humidity More humid tomorrow it might actually be a hotter feeling day. After that it appears we will successfully avoid any mega heat through the end of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 WXSIM has rain by 6pm with heaviest around 7pm - really need the rain here in Chesco now 2.85" below our normal YTD precip. Township farmers have noted how dry we are. Good news is Wxsim shows 0.90" by midnight tonight and over 2.50" of rain with some measurable rain on 5 of the next 6 days...also of course no 90 degree days between now and the 31st. Appears likely we will end July with zero 90 degree days in Chesco for the 3rd time in last 4 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I saw that and tweeted to Chris Sowers at ABC this AM - he replied that he knows this are is 660 ft + ASL and with no official reporting station. I corrected him that KMQS is part of the NWS hourly weather roundups and that station like here has only recorded one 90+ day this year. Not sure if anyone else is on twitter but if so check out my feed and follow - thanks! Paul Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
