Just an FYI the humidity in Media, Delaware County was in the 22% to 33% range hardly humid it's like a desert out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 It's almost 7 pm and still over 90. I don't care how dry it may be, that just ain't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just after 8:30 pm and it's 84 with dp 68. Since it is pretty much cloudless, will see how much radiates before morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like drying a wet spot on a shirt with a hair dryer. The rain disappeared within minutes in this desert air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Went outside to escort my dog for her evening constitutional in the back yard and got assaulted by the heat and humidity. It reminds me of Florida, like when you step off the airplane and the atmosphere smacks you in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week when had a t storm watch and 80% chance , less than 20% of the area got any precip and that was short lived.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Hit 96 a few times around 1:30 pm and it's currently sunny and 96 with some scattered small cumulus clouds, and dp is 68. Edit to add - when I was out this morning watering, I heard NOT a SINGLE cicada whatsoever, Nada. It's pretty unprecedented in my lifetime at this point. I don't know what happened. Maybe they got caught in lanternfly sticky traps on trees and couldn't molt, but this is just bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katydids started up this week and lightning bug are still putting on a show. I’ve also noticed as we move deeper into summer the birds aren’t as obnoxious before sunrise like they are in the spring.

I've seen the lightning bugs but have had no cicadas or katydids yet... When it's hot out there like this, they usually get going in the morning and go all the way to dusk. Just popped out back for 5 minutes and nothing. Just the drone of central air conditioners. I managed to touch 97 just before 2:30 before it dropped back to the current 96 (dp 69).

In the early evening, I see newly emerged nymphs crawling around, but no songs in the trees by daytime. Glad I'm not the only one to notice. OTOH, I have been hearing Katydids doing their thing.

I'm gonna have to make it point to pop out there in the evening to check for those. I have been cat sitting the past couple weeks - gave one sister's kitty back last Tuesday and just got my other sister's cat yesterday (and neither can be let out here or manage to dart out an open door or I'll never see them again... lol). So I have limited the outside watering and nature checks to the mornings after they are fed and napping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Looks like I topped out at 98'6°F for today. Really hoping that convective line in western PA can make it through but not holding my breath. Hottest day here since June 30, 2021 where we recorded 98.9.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 97 was my high today and it was the hottest temp recorded on my main PWS (which I bought back in late July 2020 to replace my old 2015 one that is on its last legs). It's currently 90 with the sun peeping through some high clouds as we head towards sunset in about 50 minutes, and have a dp of 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 A big day here in the hills in the NW Philly burbs as you ascend the Welsh Mountain Anticline here in NW Chester County PA!! We were able to....with the help of rounding record an "official" first 90 degree day of the year today here in East Nantmeal Township with a high temperature of 89.7 on my Vantage Pro 2 station!!! While my Ambient station could do no better than 88.7. But for our climate reporting purposes this will go down as our 1st 90 degree day of the year and our first 90 degree day since June 30, 2021!!! Lot's of excitement here across the NW Chesco hills with this rare climate event!!!! Of note...this is also our 1st 90 degree day in July in over 2 long years since our last 90 degree day back on July 21, 2020. The only spot in Eastern PA beside MPO to fail to touch 90 was EW3190 in Reading PA at 1,115 feet. Maybe they see their first 90 degree temp tomorrow.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Gave it a shot about 10 minutes after sunset - no crickets, no cicadas, no katydids. Just bizarre! It's currently 85 with dp that has now crept up to 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's currently 85 with dp that has now crept up to 70. Katydids are just starting up for the evening here, they've been pretty vocal (with their legs) for the last week plus. Crickets are partying too, I mean it is Saturday night. Not much in the way of cicadas here either, not sure if the hundreds of cicada killers we have in our front yard have anything to do with it.

At any rate, I miss their noise on these hot days. Edit: Oops - my bad - Brood X was last year! My memory is slipping. At any rate, next week won't be as hot. Let's see if the cicadas recover.
