Local forecast gives the showers in central PA a decent 40% chance of making it here You need to move to the Chester County climate to escape those pesky 90+ days!!

ChescoWx Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Of note both KMQS and KPTW both made it to 91.4 today for their hottest temps so far this summer yet for both only their 8th day over 90 all summer! Here in NW Chesco in East Nantmeal....only my poorly sited rooftop Tempest station could record a 90 plus day with a 91.4 high today. Unsurprisingly the well sited stations both the VP2 and Ambient units at my location could do no hotter than 88.1 and 88.2 respectively. Proper siting always wins! I am not home to measure rain and the VP seems clogged but the Tempest has recorded 1.17" of rain so far with the storm....not sure I buy it and of course will wait for the coco bucket measure to use as climate data. As you all know I am I suspect the biggest climate data fact weather weenie on this site and trust me I will of course be sure to update the data when I get the "official" reading.

ChescoWx Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I was not in Chester County last night but according to some neighbors it was a pretty intense thunderstorm. My power appears to have briefly gone out around 730pm and looks to have impacted my rainfall amounts. I am not local to read the manual gauge...but my Tempest station measured 1.24" of rain last night. My wife heard from a neighbor who measured over an inch....any other folks with that much rain last evening? Most locations across Chester County did record a 90+ day yesterday. Unsurprisingly in East Nantmeal we could do no better than 88.1. Still just one 90 degree day this summer! Today's record high is 99 set in 1930. Our record low is the 45 degrees in 1951. Our daily rainfall record is 1.41" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get your bees together with my cicadas... 79F/DP 73F LOL I have had those cicada killers buzzing out front all through June and some of July but haven't seen them recently. I'm just glad to finally hear ONE cicada! My low ended up being 71 @5:47 am and it doesn't look like I'm gonna hit 90 today with all the overcast. The highest that I reached so far was 87 and it's currently an overcast 86 (including some breaks in the cloud deck) with dp 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Well the overcast suddenly cleared, the sun burst out, and the temp shot right up to 89. So looks like I may just hit that 90 today.

East Nantmeal sounds like a magical place. You even have one fewer 90+ day than Bradford at 2100’ near the New York state line. And if there’s a heat island in McKean County, there must be a heat island everyone. 40,000 people and 1,000 square miles. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
