Well, Seattle has bucked the trend - we’ve had an unusually warm and dry summer. Only about 2 days with measurable rain since mid-May, and warmer than usual temps.
Since about the middle of this month, we’re back to more normal weather in the Washington, DC area - hot and muggy.
Nonetheless, we have had little or no extreme heat so far this summer. We’re getting up to normal, average temperatures and humidity, but so far, we haven’t had days much past the upper 80s or maybe 90.
It’s 101* in Vancouver, Washington today. I was in eastern Oregon last week and it was 110*. So it’s not uniformly cold everywhere. It would not be that unusual for highs in the 70’s here in July, or even cooler. Day after day of 90* and above is rare. We may set an all time record today, previous record in 102* in 1958.
Weather changes and seasons are different and have always been that way. Our grandparents knew that, we seem to have forgotton, or been confused by Gore-on propaganda.
Just 35 years early.
Whichever way the MSM goes, bet the other way for a few decades.

Yes.
It's not so much that any LOCAL weather 'changed'. It is more a case of it 'moved'. For an easy understanding of why, one can look at the local 'weather' map, and then cue up a map of the JET STREAM. It's so obvious.
It’s been heavenly in Missouri this year. Much less heat coupled with humidity, abundant rain, glorious blue skies and the cumulus clouds have returned. Lush growth in the garden. It’s had it’s share of hot days and a few where humidity is high, but overall, this has been a perfect summer. I’ve gotten to see plants in my garden I’ve forgotten I planted. As things would spring up, I’d say to myself, “I don’t remember planting that.”
If it stayed like this all year long, we couldn’t afford to live here. ;-)
“All y’all’s summer are belong to us.”

Well good point, it’s for that reason we live in a Summer oven with a minimum of complaining!
Let’s wait to see what winter is like...
It will be mild. (fingers crossed while knocking on wood and praying for small heating bills...)
