Temperatures last week averaged 7.6 degrees above average -- thanks to a very warm Friday and Friday night (67 degree high at 1 AM on Saturday morning) helping to bump the weekly average up a fair bit. Friday's 76 degree high was not a record in the city -- although many records were set around the region and temperatures hit 80 in Trenton and Pottstown. That 76 degree high was the warmest since October 28th (77 degrees that day). For those keeping track of first 70's...last year's first 70 was on March 19th so we performed pretty much on par with the first 70 degree day although last year's first fling of 70 degree warmth lasted three days, not one. The end of the week's warmth was a nice cap to a stretch of above average temperatures that generally held serve for the last five weeks. Now, cooler weather is on the way.
Rainfall was just under seven tenths of an inch last week -- concentrated during Wednesday morning's round of rain. Some thunder occurred in South Jersey and Delaware with the round of rain as well.
Temperatures month-to-date have been warm across much of the country -- averaging five degrees above average in Philadelphia and warmer than that in the Southwest.
