Hurricane Agnes Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Made it up to 94 as a high for the day (so far but probably will be a final). This is the 21st 90+ high day IMBY since May, with 3 (non-consecutive) days in May, 11 days in June (including 2 heatwaves of 3 or more consecutive 90+s), and 7 in July (with what is now the 2nd heatwave of the month, with 3 or more consecutive 90+s). It's currently 91 with dp 70 and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Got up to 95 here today. Waited until the very last to go out and do yard work again, as did several of our neighbors. I can't wait to be able to sit outside for any length of time and enjoy all the fruits of our labors... in September. This might not be wx related, but I saw my first SLF nymph yesterday, and the Japanese beetles have shown up and are steadily chomping through my herb garden and petunias, of which we have quite a few. Bastards. Noticed the clouds to the NW had some cool, sunset backlighting earlier and snapped a pic. Notice the bunny brazenly sitting in the middle of the road. My wife has been doing battle with those as well. One by one we are swapping out the plants they apparently like to eat with ones they hopefully don't. Bastards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 dream on. SOS T storms fire up in the Allegany Mts overnight wane and die out in the morning before getting to our area. We are left in the debris cloud layer from these storms all afternoon. The t storms may fire up again in the late afternoon near Harrisburg when the clouds clear out. The issue is with these storms that form near Harrisburg is that they have been quickly moving NE and are dinurally driven that miss many portions of the MT Holly region with hit and miss crap. I have seen the northern portions of the LV and southern Poconos being slammed the last several days with continuous heavy t-storms only to see anyone in eastern Berks, western Lehigh and Northern Montgomery literally bone dry. Driving around , the corn is already in full tassle in the northern areas of Lehigh County while in the southern areas, it has not even tasseled.

Funny I saw the first Spotted Lanternfly nymph here yesterday. Last year was the first year I'd seen them in numbers, and this year at first I thought they might be late due to some spring cool spells. Lately I'd started to think maybe they'd take the year off, or something. Apparently not. They love the Walnut trees here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The good news for those that hate the heat is that tomorrow on average is the warmest day of the year - at least in Western Chesco.....we then begin the slide to the coldest average day - which is January 21st - stay cool my friends!!

It's like a wall of hot dogs' breath, minus the aroma (depending on the dog). It's also steamy glasses weather, I get outside and put on reading glasses to do stuff on the phone, and because they've been at 71° they fog right up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaned interior, windows and vacuumed a BLACK car this morning. Started at 8-8:30am w/some breaks but damn, washing and waxing was completely out of the question.

Still only 3 days over 90 in the Western burbs Yeah I think it's all the brick and stone around here that absorbs the heat and radiates it, especially if there is extended heat. I am probably about 150 ft from a strip of woods, but that is to my east and it would have probably made more of a difference if they were near the west side. If we hadn't had as much rain as we have had so far this year, then we would have certainly reached triple digits this summer, which will probably not happen this year given the pattern (unless the pattern does a major change and shuts off the faucet). AND... as I type this, I'm sitting at 90, with a 79 dp (that is bopping between 78/79). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 So much for a washout weekend it's looking scattered at best and limited to late evening or night time showers.

JTA66 Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Yard work done. Fortunately it was mainly in shaded areas, but still. Up to 90F at noon and I did see some young lantern flies. I tried stepping on them but those little suckers are fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High noon (yes I did briefly go out and run back in), and it's 93 with dp still bopping between 78 and 79. Sometimes on days like this there is an active SW breeze but today so far, barely a breeze to be seen or felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
