TheClimateChanger Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Record high of 90F at Bradford today, easily breaking the record of 87F set in 1988. A couple other locations approached record highs as well. DuBois reached 89F, 3F shy of the record set in 1988. Altoona topped out at 92F, 2F below the record set in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was also the 5th 90+ day of the season at Bradford. Since records began in 1957, only one calendar year had more 90+ days. In 1988, a total of 8 days reached at least 90F at the Bradford Regional Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 21 hours ago, Mount Joy Snowman said: Low of 66. Do my eyes deceive me or does MDT actually have a chance to finish July with a mean temp below 80? May have to do some calculations later. August looks to start hot. We were out kind of towards @ChescoWx yesterday at a birthday party a couple miles south of Honey Brook. Between the ultra rural nature of the surroundings and the elevation (we were up at ~800'), the temp was a good 3-5 degrees lower than even the rural stretches of the Old Philadelphia Pike, going through Bird-in-Hand, Intercourse, White Horse, and the like. Beautiful drive but man were the buggies out in full force on a Sunday, must have passed 50 of 'em. Was waiting to comment on this pending how warm they got yesterday and how warm it stayed last night. With both numbers in it appears they hold on to the 80.x mark and are in a fight to see if they end up the month 3rd, 4th or 5th warmest. If they had dropped much more, they would have fallen out of the top 5. One question today is if they can try to sneak in a 90 to pick up a soft heat wave (to start). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Low of 72. Hoping for some good storm activity this evening. After today, CTP has me at 90 or above every day in the forecast period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 A very muggy low of 75 in Maytown this morning. Hoping for some good rains later on (radar looks encouraging in western PA) before the heat arrives. As @Mount Joy Snowman alluded to, at least the next 6 days after today look like highs in the 90s over this way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every trip to the office lunchroom is a trip wrought with peril - freezer cooler stuffed with ice cream and drink cooler stuffed with ice teas. All good tasting, none of it exactly on the fitness program. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I haven't seen much discussion of this. But this summer has done incredibly well on 90+ days at Harrisburg. I know some have complained that recent warm summers haven't been super impressive on that end. Good chance to tack on number 26 today. At this point in the year, only 5 years have had more 90+ readings. This is the most since 1999. Same story with 95+ days: For the metric lovers, days at or above 30C/86F: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Very impressive figures. This summer seems to be performing very well in terms of heat here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on a variety of metrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Rain chances should ramp up later today especially to the west and southwest of Chester County. Tonight looks to have the best chance of some heavy rain in spots. Sun returns to end out the week before the next chance of showers Friday into Sunday. Chester County Records for today: High 99 degrees at Kennett Square (1917) / Low 48 degrees at Phoenixville (1956) / Rain 4.06" at Phoenixville (1971) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most people in this subforum, it's probably the hottest summer to date for their lifetimes (certainly top 2/3) and one of only a select few years in terms of 90s. I'd say that's pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Anyways, for the cold weather enthusiasts, you will love to see this. Very skeptical of low 50s at 18z in early August in northern Pennsylvania, but we shall see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
