Jns2183 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Welcome to the team. Warmth is fine but the humidity makes it awful. And the high lows. We really are the southern Virginia now. Or maybe Western South Carolina. I tried an orange creamsicle cider today. Surprisingly not too sweet and balanced.

My issue with 90 is it being the marker between normal and heat wave. It is always hot when 90. Lol. Just looked at wundermap and quite a few 60's around the LSV though none in the HIA type area. I am not sure why the HIA often seems to bleed down to you. But mid 70's right now around you while there are upper 60's in York, Adams and Cumberland County as well as Lebanon and Eastern Lanco.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Low of 72. Another hot one today but looks like a slight break from the humidity before things ramp back up for the week ahead. Will spend most of the day praying to the rain gods. Well, that and corralling two maniac toddlers. Onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can tell you that 90-95 in Arizona when the humidity is under 10% is rather comfortable, especially in the shade, and even moreso if there's a breeze. Here, I felt like I was going to die in my seat at that wedding yesterday with a 90 degree temperature simply because of the humidity. By the time the service was over, my shirt was wet as even my torso was profusely sweating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really are the southern Virginia now. Or maybe Western South Carolina. I have been told lows and humidity don't count. People judge summer warmth by max temperature. So it might feel like this summer is in the running for one of the hottest summers of record, but it's just your imagination playing tricks on you. At Harrisburg, we can see meteorological summer is in second place by mean temperature to date, just a fraction of a degree below 1994. But we can see, when we consider only max temperatures, we can see it drops to a CHILLY third place behind 1994 & inflated 1966 records from Capital City Airport when it was throwing up 107s like it was nothing.

TheClimateChanger Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I mean summer of 1982 had a mean temperature below the average low temperature of 2024 so far at Harrisburg, and a bunch of other years saw mean temperatures within 2-4 degrees of the average low temperature of 2024. So when we include low temperatures in the year 2024, it's like playing Madden on easy mode. And we can't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 All spots across the County exceeded the 90 degree mark with the oh so close exception of East Nantmeal where we could "only" reach 89.9 degrees!. The next coolest spot was West Grove at 90.9. Some of the hotter spots included Chester Springs 95 degrees and. KOQN Brandywine Airport also 95. The hot temps looks to continue for the next few days before we drop back into the 80's by Wednesday. Along with the temp drop will come increasing shower chances by Tuesday night. Each day from Wednesday thru Saturday will feature a chance at some showers. Chester County records for today: High 103 degrees at Phoenixville (2010)/ Low was 47 degrees at West Chester (2001) / Rain 2.23" at Coatesville (1907) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Wow, almost hit the big 90 in East Nantmeal. What did the non-shaded sensor on the roof read? I think we need asterisks by the partially shaded readings. They are not compliant with siting standards, which are supposed to be taken in full sun free of obstructions.

After further thought, I think with these Madden numbers, we should compare recent summers to historical summers in Richmond, Virginia, instead of historical summers in Harrisburg. If we do that, we see it's only tied for 24th warmest [of 128 years]. But because Richmond has also been throwing up Madden numbers in recent decades, we should limit the rankings to 2001. If we do that, we see it's been warmer than all but 12 summers [out of 105 years] in Richmond that occurred between 1897 & 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you're saying is once the Category five makes landfall at Havre de Grace, the water will be warm enough to sustain major hurricane status to at least Binghamton? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, the temperature didn’t get to 90 in East Nantmeal for 3 years. There’s totally nothing to be concerned about. Days like Friday where places on both coasts with long periods of record hit all time record highs happen all the time. It’s summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
