With a chance that some locations could see a 100-degree day later this week I went back and analyzed 30 temperature stations across the area to see just how rare such a day has become. A 100-degree day is a rare occurrence across most spots across the County. With the potential being even more rare across the relatively higher ridge stations above 595 ft. In fact the last time any ridge location station saw a 100-degree reading was 15 years ago back on July 22, 2011. Of the 18 current stations across the area that report temperatures 9 of these have never recorded such a day. Our lowest elevation stations at Phoenixville and nearby Spring City both recorded a 100+ day last June. To illustrate how different the temperature elevation impact can be on June 26, 2025 while Spring City (256 ft ASL) was hitting the century mark....not too far away at Glenmoore DEOS (620 FT ASL) but 400 feet higher the high was 10 degrees cooler at "only" 90.6
I think everyone said their piece.
Also, it's Mon morning in the warm season with pretty boring weather this week. Main entertainment will be 1) see how hard Phil torches and 2) if a last minute curveball from mother nature sends Tim scrambling for back up plans.
Here's to a great week everyone. Let's give it our best!
Today's my birthday so after I work a half day and take my son to an appointment, I have a delicious ice cream cake waiting for me. Also have Friday off so woo hoo.
I've enjoyed giving my ac a break the last few days.
