Daily News | This has been one of the warmest Julys on record in Philly, and hot across the country
Quamir Anderson wipes sweat from his face as he walks along Wolf Street in South Philadelphia collecting the weekly trash during the heat wave on July 21. It was a hot month for sanitation workers.Those who aren’t particularly fond of triple-digit indexes and high air-conditioning bills — not to mention October-like ocean temperatures — have cause to celebrate on what has turned out to be a magnificent weekend: July is about to end.
If misery truly does enjoy miserable company, at least Philadelphia has been in the right country this month. Those steady winds from the south that imported the heat also contributed to the “upwelling” event at the Jersey Shore in which warm surface layers were displaced by cooler water beneath the surface. The chill set in on July 19, and on Saturday morning surf temperatures off Atlantic City were shy of 60, or 10 degrees below normal.
July 2022 basically was warm wall-to-wall, with above-normal temperatures on 25 days, and 90-plus readings on 18. now has all of Bucks County and parts of Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Montgomery Counties, and Philadelphia, in “abnormally dry zones.”And while the lack of rain has helped drive up daytime temperatures, the region’s proximity to the Atlantic Ocean has promoted the nighttime warmth.
