I appreciate the feedback. That accounts for the west coast. But North America is pretty big and a heatwave in one region hardly verifies Glowbull Warming of the planet.
You know whose been strangely quiet on the global warming fraud front. Phil Jones and East Anglia U’s CRU! I haven’t heard a peep out of them for some time. They still cranking out “GW studies”?
Rainfall and temperature in Seattle are usually the mirror opposite of the Mid-West, and, to a lesser extent, the Northeast.
However, when our heat wave started, both the Mid-West and the Northeast were having record temps, too, which kind of freaked everyone out and made us wonder, “Is this the new normal for summer in Seattle?”
In the past 15 years I have seen nearly every variation of summer weather here. Hot and dry, hot and wet, cold and dry, cold and wet, mild and dry, mild and wet, cold then hot then mild, hot then mild then cold, mild then hot then mild, ... etc.
The only combo I haven’t seen is cold in the middle.
Although I have seen snow in July ... lasting one afternoon ... in an otherwise hot July.
Going back the 60+ years I have lived in CO I have seen all those combos multiple times. All I can conclude from that is that the weather is different every year ... within certain limits of more generalized patterns.
If you have record temps again next summer I would be amazed.
But still not convinced that any “new normal” pattern had been established.
I spent a summer in Boulder in the 1980s.
Snow flurries in the first week of June!
Same here and wetter.
Ha!
Fact: If it gets TOO darned hot; we can always set off a bunch of nukes to bring on nuclear winter.
Could be! :)
