Hello everyone,

            As we have experienced along with most of the country, this obviously has been a very hot summer.

I just thought I would update the count on the number of 90 degree days in and around the Philadelphia Metro area so far this year. We are already above normal for the entire year already, keep in mind the record is 55 days of 90 degree days recorded in 2010 for Philadelphia.

                          2012 - 90 and 100 DEGREE DAYS SO FAR

Philadelphia -  33 Days( 2 in May, 7 in June, 21 in July, 3 in August so far)          

        2 - 100 Degree Days on July 7th(101 high temp) and July 18th(100 high temp)

Wilmington -   28 Days ( 2 in May, 8 in June, 17 in July, 1 in August so far)

            2 - 100 Degree days on July 7th(101 high temp) and July 18th(101 high temp)

Allentown -   24 Days ( 1 in May, 7 in June, 15 in July, 1 in August so far)

                                 (No 100 degrees in 2012 recorded so far.)

Altantic City - 22 Days( 2 in May, 6 in June, 14 in July, none so far recorded in August)

           2 - 100 Degree days on July 7th(100 high temp) and July 18th(101 high temp)

In 2012 , will we break the all-time record 90 degree days set in 2010 in the Delaware Valley?

We have some ways to go before we reach that record but with this being the hottest year so far since records have been kept it's not impossible, in fact 90 degree days have been recorded as late as mid-October in our area.
