After another 0.09" of rain yesterday here in East Nantmeal we are way above normal rainfall for the year and almost normal so far here in May. Great news for the local farmers! Today should see the sun returning at times with temps not too far from normal in the low to mid 70's. Sun from Monday through Wednesday with temps warming into the low 80's. Shower chances by Thursday before the sun returns with temps about normal for Memorial Day weekend.
Records for today across Chester County: High 96 degrees at Phoenixville (1962) of note all 9 reported weather locations on that date in 1962 had highs between 93 and 96 degrees. Record cold was 33 degrees at Kennett Square 2S (2009) / Record rain was the 4.85" that fell in West Chester (1900). All 4 reporting locations that day recorded big rain totals with Phoenixville 4.72" / Coatesville 1SW 3.46" and Kennett Square 2.75"
I can deal with this weather here last couple days and what's expected thru the next week. I love temps 50-70° range. I start to complain once above 70° and below 50° most preferred temps is in 60's especially 65° that's perfection for me also best to keep DP under 50.
lol yeah that year had a better summer but did not like most of the other months in 2011.
Places like Sunriver can get cold all year round, but it was pretty difficult for K-Falls get colder than 35 degree lows in mid-summer.
The solar storm of several days ago is circling back to aim at Earth.
More disruptions possible

I think this summer main heat stays Cascade Eastward to Eastern US with worst of it focused in TX and Upper Midwest/Great Lakes Region. But should still see warmer than normal here Western WA and OR with a few very warm/hot spells. Precip could be mixed bag but overall slightly below normal, I think we can fire up a few good thunderstorm events of course as per usual mostly East of Cascades and Southwestern OR. I expect driest to be around Southwestern U.S. maybe some of Northern U.S. portions particularly the Prairies. Eastern U.S. will be a toss up but could get busy with Tropical Storms and Hurricanes particularly in the Gulf of Mexico/Southeast and the Caribbeans Aug-Oct esp September. Also thinking late September could start to get active up here in the Pacific Northwest!!!.
