Phil Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 8 minutes ago, Front Ranger said: Unfortunately, history tells us the SW drought may just be getting started. Depends on the timescale you look at. Even during the medieval megadrought (which was of much greater amplitude and extent than anything observed in the modern era) the cycles of drought tended to last 20yrs or so, then relax for decade before coming back again. Same was true of the early/middle 20th century which saw a roughly 20yr cycle of extreme drought in the SW US. Current cycle is roughly 15yrs long and is probably peaking now, a healthy El Niño is looming in 1 or 2 years.

Summer 2001 was cooler than all but 2 summers since 1960 at OLM. That's an exceptional comparison. Summers 2010 and 2011 were both easily below the long term normal at OLM.

Dave Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 2 hours ago, TT-SEA said: SO2 causes global cooling. Tonga was almost all water vapor and stratospheric water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas I am no expert... but I bet in a couple years there will be enough data to support a distinct warming effect from Tonga. This is what many scientists are saying. It's rare for a volcanic eruption to cause global warming, but the Tonga eruption was pretty much unprecedented with the amount of water blasted into the stratosphere. I read that the amount of water vapor up there has increased by around 20% and will take 5-10 years to return to normal. Water vapor absorbs UV and as a result warms the atmosphere. I'd find a link to the article, but it seems like this is now a mobile phone only website and that's a major pain in the asss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last truly normal summer was probably 2007. All of them since then has had some range outside of averages. Summers that run means 2-3 degrees below average aren't normal and were cold back then. You could barely even differentiate climates on either side of the cascades in 2011. I would say having a cold summer is less likely now but you may see a few 2007-2008 type summers in the future.
