   LOL!
   It gets to about 28 on a really hot day and humidity can be at about 90Quality repairs for your home.

   The vapor barrier goes on the inside. In Florida it might go on the outside, but not in Philly. (I lived in Pine Hill, NJ for two years, so I'm familiar with the climate.)

   You are in a mix-humit region.

   The vapor is created by cooking, washing, breathing, etc. The barrier goes on the inside to keep the vapor from moving to the outside where it can condense and wreck insulation or rot framing. Never put it on the outside or use two barriers. In tightly insulated homes with proper attic ventilation, we don't use one on the ceilings. Any knowledgeable insulation company will tell you the same. You are not in the tropics.
