I guess it’s hard to me to understand the magnitude of complaining this year after how spring and early summer have gone the last decade. The other shoe had to drop at some point and this is just one year versus ten. Our climate is warming and drying in the dry season into the long term, so years like this become more and more of an outlier as time goes on. Anyway, throwing a hot dog on what I see as kind of silly posts given the context of our climate seems like a better alternative to engaging each and every time. We already have enough preference based arguments here. 2 1 1 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted June 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 The SSTA map right now does not look dramatically different than it did one year ago. The ENSO regions are a little cooler but the overall configuration is quite similar. This in no way implies there will be another 1,000 year freakish heat event. Probably not in our lifetimes. But maybe the overall pattern is actually going to quiet down significantly after the middle of June... which is pretty typical. The first half of June last year was also really wet. 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
