Everything this year has been a quick blow torch then out.

Birds~69 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 At 5:30am 59F here and 45F in Mt Pocono. Let's get through July without a major 7+ day torch heatwave. Once Aug hits we're in the home stretch. Under 80 days... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Happy 4th of July to everyone! Our record hottest holiday was the 101 degree high temperature back in 1919. Our chilliest 4th was the 45 degree morning low back in 1986. The record rainfall occurred just 3 years ago with the 1.89" that fell today back in 2019.

ChescoWx Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Been a while since my last article for the local newsletter....below is my catch up since September 2021. Hello again from Paul at the East Nantmeal PA Weather Station www.chescowx.com. Be sure to follow me on the Chester County Weather Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/chescowx and at https://twitter.com/ChescoWx where I am tweeting daily climate reports and forecast updates for our beautiful Township. It has been a while since the last New Sweetwater Reporter at the end of September, So, let’s do a quick climate summary for 2021 and some weather highlights so far here in 2022. 2021 Climate Summary Average High Temperature: 62.3 degrees (+0.6 above normal) Average Low Temperature: 46.8 degrees (+3.6 above normal) Average Temperature:54.6 degrees (+2.2 above normal) Highest Temperature: 91.2 on June 30th Lowest Temperature: 15.0 on the February 8th Total Precipitation: 51.56” (+1.43” above normal) Total Snowfall: 42.0” (6.0” above normal) 90-degree days: (3) which is 8 days below normal Growing Season (Freeze Free days): 197 days (8 days more than normal) 2022 has been running slightly colder (0.4 degrees) than normal over the first 6 months of the year. Overall, we have seen three above normal temperature months and three below normal months. January was our coldest (26.6 degrees avg. temp) 1st month of the year since 2015 (26.2 degrees), it also featured our coldest temperature 6.1 degrees on the 16th that we had experienced since the 3.2 low temperature on February 1, 2019. January would also be the only month of the 2021/22 winter season to have above normal snowfall. The 12.9” of snow that fell is 2.4” above our normal for the month. We would rebound with above normal February and March temperature months, but with below normal snowfall and precipitation in general. We finished the winter season with only 20.5” of snow which his well below our normal seasonal fall of 36.2” With the first full month of spring, we began to see increasing and above normal precipitation which was perfect timing for the many farmers and outdoor gardens across the township. Over the spring months of April, May, and June only May would deliver above normal temperatures. Of note so far here in East Nantmeal Township we have yet to record our first day over 90 degrees. Unsurprisingly through July 4th at the PHL International Airport they have already recorded eleven such days. One of the benefits of living in a rural and somewhat higher elevation area such as our township is that over the last 18 years, we have averaged only 4 days over 90 in a typical summer, whereas at the airport in Philadelphia they have averaged 29 such days over that same exact time frame. I hope all of you enjoy the rest of the summer! For those looking forward to cooler days, keep in mind that our warmest average day of the year is July 18th (75.7 avg. temp) at which point we will then begin a slow fall in temperatures that will continue until January 21st (32.5 avg. temp). Until next time all the best - Paul “Some are weather-wise, some are otherwise” Ben Franklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Amazing low-humidity day yesterday with a final high of 89 and not a cloud in the sky. Had a great bbq at one of my sister's houses yesterday and the lightning bugs were competing with the early fireworks. After a low of 65 this morning, made it up to 87 today and it's currently 84 and mostly sunny with lots of cirrus and a low dp of 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Beautiful day today, if just a bit warm for my liking. But are you guys seeing the satellite imagery right now? I don't thing I've ever seen clouds like this: Probably enhanced by the low sun angle, but still. Looked out west windows and saw streaky clouds and then took a look at the satellite. Fascinating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Today's Western Chester County record high temperature is 102 degrees set in 1919. The record low was the 47 degree reading back in 1909. Our daily record rainfall is the 2.95" that fell in 1965. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenmsav6810 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 This summer is a bit how I imagine summers are out in Idaho, Montana,Minnesota, the Dakota's....etc-- maybe just a bit cooler on the hottest days. 19 hours ago, RedSky said: Another Canadian airmass next weekend the beat rolls on. 14 hours ago, Hurricane Agnes said: Amazing low-humidity day yesterday with a final high of 89 and not a cloud in the sky.

JTA66 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 This morning's mesos don't seem too impressed with the rain in western PA reaching our area. It is drying up a bit out there, may skip this week's mow. 80F/DP 68F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is - those more northern latitude areas also get longer hours of daylight (e.g., International Falls, MN has just over 16 hours of daylight around the solstice) where around this neck of the woods, we are just barely hitting 15 hours max. So although they may be closer to the Canadian air masses, they have extended heating whenever a ridge builds over that part of the country. Otherwise without an amplified ridge and a more zonal flow, I expect they would definitely be cooler up there - at least if they aren't in a drought state (where that tends to amplify and radiate the heat much more). Well had to get out there and give my plants some top-off water and the humidity is definitely starting to build although it wasn't too bad when in some shade. It's currently 85 and mostly sunny (after a low of 68), with some cirrus and a few cumulus clouds starting to pop up, and with dp 69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Well it has started clouding up and there is stuff on the radar... but whether it survives to get here intact is the $64,000 question. It's currently overcast and 84 (after making it up to 87 before the clouds rolled in) with dp 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achieving 2 inch PWAT's are in a dreamscape right now. The air is so dry and then any available moisture is sucked out in the stratus clouds before the dying front comes through. The stress on the turf is pretty nasty right now too. My garden needs some rain. Cannot remember when the last time a good time cracking /rumbling training t- storms have hit our area. The good ole afternoon t- storms from the Bermuda High are gone as the Canadian HP takes over. This weekend looks pretty cool for July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a short but intense growing season up yonder (at least in the upper plains). Well not a drop of rain overnight so... Anyway had a "low" of 74 this morning and it's currently 82 (although it earlier spiked to 84) and the dp is 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 We've had 9 consecutive days of non-measurable rain now. I last mowed a week ago, and my lawn has barely grown. I refuse to water it though. It's still green-ish. In spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta think in the next week they'll make an appearance? 81F/DP 72F I think if we had had more days of heat last month, they might have emerged sooner. But by having our winter in spring and it being springish in early summer, that probably slowed them down if the ground was still too cool. I am more surprised about the lack of crickets so far. I guess being still early July can be deceptive for expectations. I did make it to 89 as a high while watching strands of pearls tstorm cells blowing past to my south and north despite some periodic threatening clouds. 1 hour ago, CoolHandMike said: We've had 9 consecutive days of non-measurable rain now.

I did manage to get a passing light shower that deposited 0.06" the morning of July 3rd but nothing since June 27, so I guess I'll be grateful for that. The grass here has held so far but don't know how much longer... It's currently 84 and mostly cloudy with some occasional breaks of sun, and dp is 66.

Rockem_sockem_connection Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 So like I tilled up sections of lawn and planted fescue and those sections are totally dormant thanks to the lack of rain and high temps. Thing is though I was selling my house and everything was green when it went under contract. Hard to think someone would care so much but hopefully buyers don't lose their shit when they come thru for walk thru. It'll bounce back in fall and look like sex all over again but looks all kinds of stupid right now. The reverse happens in winter with the zoysia looking like ass.
