Central PA Summer 2023


 Share

Recommended Posts

July average temperatures will finish within 0.2 to 0.6 degrees above normal at Glenmoore, KMQS Airport and East Nantmeal in Chester County Pa with all locales as expected showing this July at about the middle of all time temperature ranking for all recorded months of July. However, at all locations the summer months of June and July so far are near the top of the chilliest ones on record. This includes KMQS with their 3rd coldest June/July since records started in 2008 and East Nantmeal/Coatesville with about the 18th coldest June/July on record since 1894!!

This morning's low of 59.6 was the first time we have reached the 50's since June 29th. A good chance many areas will see lows in the 50's the next 3 mornings. Today looks to be the only chance some areas hit 80 degrees this work week.
Records for today: High 102 degrees (1954) / Low 48 degrees (1895) / Rain 2.49" (1992)

Wow, impressive stuff. Rounding for consistency with the historical records, that's a monthly minimum of 60F. Looks like that only happened 6 times in 114 years at the West Chester Coop site, and the 1990 data is suspect due to more than a quarter of the month's data being missing.

The current monthly mean minimum you have observed was only exceeded in 14 years, although I assume that's not including this morning's cooler low temperature. Must be runaway urban heating from Philadelphia, or perhaps the hot air blowing in from all of the politicians and bureaucrats in DC.

The State College radar will undergo an outage for scheduled maintenance as part of the Service Life Extension Program today through August 14th. While KCCX is down, continue to be weather aware by monitoring nearby radars. This map will show the closest radar for you! #PAwx   362244356_658544882979703_1826341887736143434_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&cb=99be929b-3346023f&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=ZxovCHIfeZIAX9mFaTT&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AfC1yHk0Y5TErF7hjCYx3OXW1u3F9H3w_ChvB8M0h67WjQ&oe=64CBB9D3362227893_658545052979686_1811153542736484091_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&cb=99be929b-3346023f&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=Vr4cxUcoSSQAX9O26yQ&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAP3TLO7bC-9iRzP5arfwHPhr66YZ8_r41gSRVM6GNftw&oe=64CC87D5
This raises a question I've had for a long time:

How on earth is there not a radar/NWS office in Erie? I get their close proximity to Cleveland, and even Pittsburgh, but a coastal city, even a lakeside coastal city, should have coverage. The NW quadrant of the state would be served better by a radar on Presque Isle than in Cleveland or Buffalo or Pittsburgh.

Doesn't make sense.

Some stats....MDT will end up July with only 1/3 of the days being BN (could be 11 total after today) but an overall positive departure only in the low 1's because the highs were not all that hot on average.   

The highest temp was 95 which was lower than the highest temp of any July going back to 2017 when it was 93.  However, the lowest temp was 65, assuming it does not beat that tonight by midnight, which was the second highest low temp ever only being eclipsed by 2020 at 67. 

 There were several occasions where some outlying areas were in the 50's during the month so I personally am attributing at least some of the "high low's" to HIA.

Even the notorious cool spot of West Chester could only must a low of 59.6F (aka 60F) for the month.

I wish this became a thing. Lawns are such a waste of money and resources - especially front ones where no one hosts parties or whatever. 

I have zero grass out front - my entire lawn is behind the house. Everything out front is mulched, ponds, decorative pieces, etc. I also have 2 Adirondacks for my wife and I to enjoy sitting outside later on hot days when the back yard is getting direct sunlight.
