Phoenix AZ….100 straight days of 100F plus. Previous record was 76 days.

Average low during that time, 87F.


.

That streak looks to continue for at least another week, maybe longer. They have recorded exactly two below normal days in that span, both in August but not consecutive. This forum would spontaneously combust if any eastern locale recorded 98 above normal days out of 100.

I am already back to watering.  I can do it a little less now with the lower amounts of sun and better temps.  Just twice a week. 

We have been watering every day now for the past 2 weeks. We had gone away for several days, came back and our flowers were dead and the veggies weren't much better.

Yea, watering flowers and veggies every day here.  I meant the grass.    Sorry about the flowers.  I remember a time when we could water once or twice a week max.  Now it is a full-on chore.

Looks like someone will need a load of water.

If we don't start getting beneficial rain, even I won't be able to help out. Our springs are holding up, but the other company that hauls with us is having problems with a lowering and diminishing water table. They can't get as many loads per day out of their sources as they usually do.

Only if you use the traditional -3C isotherm for the coldest month as the boundary between subtropical & continental. Typically, 0C is used, especially in North America.

Using 0C/32F, the only areas from 1991-2020 that would qualify as subtropical would be the Philadelphia metro area. Minimum monthly average is 34.0F at PHL and 33.4F at PNE. Also, some areas right along the Mason-Dixon line would qualify marginally. At HGR [Hagerstown, Md.], minimum average monthly temperature is 32.0F and at MGW [Morgantown, W. Va.] 32.1F.

Using data from the past 15 years, however, additional areas would qualify, including parts of the Harrisburg area. Average monthly minimum (2010-2024) is 31.5F at MDT, but 32.3F at CXY. So right on the border of continental and subtropical climates, as defined by Koppen, in parts of the Susquehanna Valley over the past 15 years.

Our stretch of below normal temperatures will continue for at least the next 5 days before we warm back to near or a little above by the middle of next week. Rain chances ramp up by Saturday late day.
Chester County records for today: High Temperature 95 degrees at Coatesville 1SW (1898) / Low 41 degrees at Westtown (1896) / Rain 4.53" at Glenmoore (1979)

The interactive one seems much different.
