Don't put your sunscreen or shorts away just yet.  Summer is back in a big way on Sunday !

I fully expect to tie (and possibly break) the record high in Philly at 92 degrees for Sunday, September 14th, set back in 1995.

With dew points running between 70 and 75 degrees, the humidity (heat index) will make it feel like 100 degrees by the Sunday afternoon.

Here is my salute to the Summer of 2008.

June 2008 was the 4th hottest June in Philly's history. The first place position still belongs to 1925.

June was HOTTER than August. First time for this to happen since 1994.


And...September has had more 90 degree days than August this year.

Hi, I'm David Aldrich, the Weekend Meteorologist for Fox 29. I'm a "weather geek" at heart and love to talk about all aspects of Philadelphia weather. I joined the FOX 29 Weather Team in October 2005, as the "Ten O'Clock News" weekend weather anchor. I also produce and report on the weather three days a week on "Good Day Philadelphia." In August 2006, I was upgraded by the American Meteorological Society to their Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) designation, a professional recognition of the quality of my weather broadcasts. I also hold the Seal of Approval from the National Weather Association.Born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, I attended the University of Delaware before transferring to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in radio, television and motion pictures in 1992. I then attended North Carolina State University where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology in 1999.
