The Iceman Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Made it to 97 yesterday. This morning feels even worse... I live on the Delaware canal and it is bone dry. They released water in anticipation of a big rain event last month that never materialized and now the river level is too low to provide water for the canal. Wherever drought guy is, he's finally right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I had a "low" of 77 this morning and am now off to the races with the temp 87 and sunny with a bunch of cirrus clouds, and a dp of 77. It's also totally unprecedented for me to NOT have heard a single cicada here yet this summer. I know there were a bunch of cicada killers out front but most of these cicada guys hang out in the woods a couple hundred feet away. I don't know what happened but maybe a pile were emerging early and then got hit with one of the May frosts and/or whatever hadn't emerged after that, got stuck in dry soil. I was out for almost 45 minutes watering yesterday and heard not a one and even in the mornings, at least one or two are up and buzzing to herald the coming heat. Was just out there about 10 minutes ago and stood waiting and still nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 While many relative lower locales across Chester County reached the 90 degree mark yesterday. Many observation spots across our county failed to reach the elusive temperature. This included East Nantmeal (88.6), KMQS (87.0), Oxford (88.0), East and West Downingtown (88.0) and Cochranville (89.0). With today's higher starting low temperature we should have a good shot at many spots hitting 90 for the first time this month. By contrast PHL Airport is on quite the run of 90's...with it likely they reach 7 straight days by Sunday! Of note PHL has now recorded 19 days over 90 while here in East Nantmeal we have still had none. KMQS airport in Coatesville has had 3 days that rounded up to 90 and KPTW has also only recorded 3 such days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Well I officially hit 90 (#9 in July & #14 since May) just touched @ 10:16 am. Dewpoint has been sitting at 77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever drought guy is, he's finally right! Oh I am here and watching. Keeping a low profile as seeing is believing for many posters. A back to back La Nina pattern for 2-3 years is killing this country right now. The evapotranspiration rate is a killer right now and it only going to get worse. The only way to break this routine is a tropical storm which will not appear until mid August or later. Hit and miss t storms with no chance of training is the norm right now. The base flow stream levels are dropping fast and I expect drought watches to be issued by the end of month. Here is the link for your perusal. We are in a moderate drought https://www.drought.gov/location/18062 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Now sitting at 96 and something blew through within the past 30 minutes as the winds briefly got gusty and the dp had dropped down from the upper 70s to the low/mid-70s (bopping between 73/74). Once the breeze died down, the dp is creeping back up and is at 75/76. The cirrus has also been replaced with clusters of cumulus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Clouds from nearby storms to the north holding back temps the last hour or so. High for the day so far is 98 here. Current temp 97/DP 71/RH 43% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that line of convection parallel to the Delaware river (and my lightning detector has been picking it up) and wondered if it was near you. I think I may have hit my high of 96 for the day and it's currently 93 with dp finally staying in the lower 70s and is 72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the lightning occurred just to the north on the severe warned cell. A couple minutes of downpours and some wind, but it killed the temp which isn't going to recover, so that's nice.

CoolHandMike Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Still nasty gross up here. Our high was only 95.3, but it's been consistently above 90 since 10:45am. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 KMQS and KPTW both reached 90 today for the 1st and 2nd time this month, this was both stations 4th time this year. Here in East Nantmeal Twp. still no 90+ days as my VP2 only made it to 88.3 / Ambient hit 88.5./ only my poorly sited roof top mounted tempest unit was able to reach the 90's at 90.3. All observing locales in Eastern Chesco hit the 90's today...however, a couple spots in addition to EN in Western Chesco including Downingtown West and Oxford also fell short of 90. Tomorrow again should be close here in EN but thinking Saturday and Sunday we should finally see the rarity of a 90 degree reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Bottomed out at 76 just after 3 am this morning and it has been on the way up since. Currently sunny and 81, with the dp finally below 70, and reading 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Our record Western Chester County high for the day is 100 degrees set back in 1899. The record low is 51 degrees from 1983. Record daily rainfall is the 2.72" that fell today back in 1916. Suspect we see many spots who have still to record a 90+ day to get there if not today then certainly over the weekend.
