What is the weather like in Philadelphia?

What's the weather like in Philadelphia, PA?

  • I am thinking about moving to philadelphia. I was wondering if it gets very cold there. I live just outside LA, and I was wondering if Pennsylvania's climate would be too cold for someone used to the warmth?

  • Answer:

    Right now it is in the mid 40's which is somewhat warm for this time of year. Sunday we are getting an Arctic front and the weather will dip to the 20s. It can get very cold in the winters as well as snowstorms. The blizzard of 1996 left 30" in Philly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_blizzard_of_1996#Philadelphia However, this is really not a common event. I suppose as common as an earthquake hitting LA. The Summer's can get hot and muggy. Fall and Spring are mild-like temps.

It's been a mild winter this year so far, although we did have one cold spell where it only got in the teens during the day. Right now its 34 degrees. I have to say you would probably get used to it. It is really nice having all 4 seasons, and you can do fun stuff in the winter - skiing, snowboarding, etc. It can routinely hit the 90's during the summer so you can feel at home. Good luck.

It can get cold here, but with global warming, the winters are warmer and warmer every year. It's not the winters you need to worry about. It's the brutally hot and humid summers. Believe me, no one moves here for the weather.

Today happens to be the coldest day of the year so far. Wind chill this am was -3. But that's much colder than usual. Average highs are in the mid 30's during the winter. Right now it's 19 degrees.

It can get really cold here and snow thats why my mother and I were thinking of moving to LA. It might take time for you to get used to it since you probably aern't used to this weather. A women came to my school from LA and when everyone was wearing sweaters and thought it was good cool weather she was wearing A heavy coat and scarf complaining about the cold. http://www.rssweather.com/climate/Pennsylvania/Philadelphia/ http://insurance.essentialtravel.co.uk/tg-north-america/usa/philadelphia-weather.asp

It will take some getting used to. Temps could go as low as the teens at night and reach as high 35,40 and sometimes 50 degrees during the day in the winter. During the summer the temps are like 70-90 degrees. It gets pretty muggy around here in the summer, so like the last poster said you should feel at home then. You will get used to it, it is nice having all seasons. Gives you an excuse to have all types of fashionable yet seasonal clothes!
