Question Hello, I live in Horsham, Pa. outside of Philadelphia and Iam getting married September 20,2008 and was thinking of having an outside celebration, could you give me an idea of what the weather might at that time might be? Thank you
Answer Maureen,
Barring any hurricanes or tropical storms, that time of the year is very nice in southeastern PA. The normal high for that date is about 75, and the normal low is about 58. Record highs are up in the low to mid 90s at that time of the year, and the coldest temperatures on record then are in the upper 30s.
In the latter part of September, it generally rains about once every four days or so.
