JTA66 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 If only there was a forum on this site to discuss climate change...sigh Currently 80F/DP 70F out there. Another disgusting day on tap but it feels a little less intense. Current forecast is for a high of 89F. If it stays under 90F, I'll count that as a small victory. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Could do no better than 84.3 on the VP2 84.0 on the Ambient and even the rooftop Tempest 86.7 (see below) failed to touch 90 today ending it's longest stretch ever since it was installed back in 2020 of 90+ days! See it can get to 90 in East Nantmeal.....just need some toasty roof tiles!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Still dry here, but at least the outflow blew through and cooled it down significantly. Rain would certainly be nice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Am picking up convection all around but zilch for rain. Little pop-ups form and then dissipate. It has clouded up and dropped the temp to 89 but 93 remains the high for today at this point. Dp is 72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Still have tons of convection and now getting thunder. Have a little bit of rain to wet the walk but nothing measurable. There's a little pop-up nearby that will be just my luck to fizzle but we will see. Temp is down to 79 with dp 72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going on rooftops in the summer and it was blazing up there on a sunny day... 80F/DP 72F Hey Birds Ran the numbers below some surprises to me that during the summer months May through August my Ambient station which is in full sun most of the day and on a slight south facing slope ended up cooler in 3 of the 4 months and also overall than my VP2 which actually gets a bit more shade then the Ambient. Of course the roof runs warmer but about what you would expect with that siting - interesting - thanks for making me do the analysis!! Imagine if I used the coolest station on my property and used that for my analysis?? The folks would be even more up in arms!! LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (manufacture) don't recommend placing it on the roof....do they? Seems like a horrible location especially if your roof is black. 70F/DP 67F (coming down) Stuff moving up from the S but may end up W of me again....

As you know I am a bit of a data and weather weenie and I put it there precisely to prove that a poorly sited weather station and climate data can make an approximate 1 degree difference in average temperature. But it also clearly proves that my other 2 stations sited correctly according to NWS standards are accurate for a rural location in the county I live in.
