Philadelphia’s time is rainy, but not because of the tropical storm Alvin

May has acquired a legitimate reputation for her flowers, but this year, she also showed a talent for sadness.

So far, the month has officially produced exactly a clear day in Philly – on average, the city has seven in May – and the region cannot see another before the shift of the calendar.

The rain, which forced the phillies to postpone their match on Wednesday evening against the brave of Atlanta, was observed so far 18 days, with good chance that this number spends 20 by the weekend. (It has nothing to do with the Tropical Storm Alvin, moreover; it is in the Pacific.)

With Friday and Friday evening showers, May has a chance to be the wet month in more than a year.

Philly also had the fresh day race

With humidity, the days have always been cold. On Wednesday, the 10th consecutive day of temperatures lower than normal on Wednesday, something that “has not happened for some time,” Patrick O’Hara, a meteorologist of the National Weather Service, told Mount Holly.

In fact, the last sequence of this type took place at the end of May until early June 2023.

For the month, the diurnal vertices are almost exactly normal; However, it is the result of unusual heat at the beginning of the month.

Since then, the winds of the reaction stream – the higher air limits between the hot and cold air – plunged in the east, said Tom Kines, senior meteorologist with Accuweather Inc.

This development overturned the switch at cooler Washington temperatures in Boston from the 19th.

Is the drought finally finished in the Philly region?

The opinions of the drought remain in force in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, although the rains set up an impressive fight, although mostly benign.

After a historically dry fall, the rains gradually softened precipitation deficits with periods of regular rain, as Wednesday, rather than melting the region with “storms of crimes”, said O’Hara.

Said Kines: “It was a slow transition. Often it does not happen in this way. Usually, when the drought period breaks, it breaks with revenge.”

Until Tuesday, the precipitation of the year up to date is almost normal, according to the Atlantic Middle River forecast center. However, it continues to be around 25% below normal in the previous 365 days.

When will the sun reappear in the Philly region?

The sky is due to clarification by Thursday afternoon, but do not get used to it.

The showers are probably Friday, with possible thunderstorms at night. The rains should go back on Saturday morning, and the sun will shine while weather spring makes a cool outing with afternoon temperatures mainly in the 60s.

June is expected to start with a gradual trend in warming, with summits in the 1970s on Monday and Tuesday, and perhaps the mid-80s.

It could become quite hot later in the week, said Kines, with a reading of 90 “not out of the question”.
