We are off to a 1.6 degree cooler start to 2024 (42.6 degrees) compared to last year across the Chester County PA reporting sites. However while cooler than last year we are at the 9th warmest first 4 months on record since 1893. The Top 8 warmest are
1998 - 44.24
2023 - 44.22
1990 - 44.0

1913 - 43.1
2017 - 43.1
1949 - 42.8
2002 - 42.8
High here in East Nantmeal was 84.8 - no Airport or MADIS locales here in Chester County PA have hit 90 today. Highest obs was the 87.8 at KOQN airport in West Chester
90's are certainly much tougher to find out here in the Western philly burbs
