The airport has been getting lucky with t-storms lately. It got hit by a good t-storm once again early this afternoon, which brought 0.56" of rain. My gauge is empty.

So far this month, I only have 0.33" of rain, while the airport has 1.86".

Better to stick a thermometer in the bushes with an urban heat island effect than to stick a thermometer in the bushes on a high ridge in a sparsely-developed area 13 miles northwest of the city, like Pittsburgh does.

Maybe the reason weather records in Pittsburgh better reflect the fact that the climate really isn't getting any warmer. I think that all cities should use a sparsely developed location for climate data for each city since it would prove that the climate really hasn't changed

Wow, that is surprisingly bone dry for what is usually one of the wettest locations in the eastern United States, so far this summer, the DFW metroplex in North Texas has seen more than 11 inches of rain......Even the Indianapolis area has seen relatively excessive amounts of rainfall compared to the long term average so far this spring and summer.

My location has been continuously missing t-storms this month... We should catch up over the next few days as I think storm coverage will be more widespread.

Alexandria isn't really very wet in July. The average month has about 4.39" on average. Coastal areas are a good bit wetter.

Below is normal precip for the month of July.



Precip over the past 14 days.

As we were talking about the other day, the Moon Twp location is 2 to 4 deg cooler than the lower valley locals. But 90% of our metro is in the hills in the 1000' to 1400' elevation so it is relatively representative of Allegeheny County IMO. Moon twps population density is average for a suburban area (a bit over 1000 ppsm) so it's not "sparsely developed". It's not northeastern urban, but it's much more representative than a temperature reading in the north side.

If it were in Armstrong County, I'd agree
