TT-SEA Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Not sure, don't think so. March might have been close, I believe Shawnigan was the coolest station in the province relative to average, but still above normal. Last September was the coolest in 20 years here.Warm September makes sense based on the evolution this summer. Deep troughing until the middle of July certainly favors it. Just the way it usually works here.

The IOD/NPAC conjunction, unprecedented QBO behavior, and unexpectedly weak solar forcing renders many of these comparisons useless.

That's surprising. Since 1996 I'm guessing? Last September was basically average here. Just slightly below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 My guess for September would be pretty close to average this year. There will probably be some heat but enough cool spells to balance it out. Then maybe we will get a long awaited cool/stormy October afterward.

Topped out at 85F here this afternoon. Not much sea breeze. The last two days we reached our high for the day around 130pm and then the ESE breeze kicked up. Today's high temp didn't occur until much later, a little after 430pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 There's a good chance (not certain) we'll see the Niña strengthen from late winter into/through next summer, with an off-climo peak in spring/summer, with a secondary peak next winter. Also might be an early start to winter in the US, weird NAM/PV progression, so on. Not going to be kind to long range forecasting. Might be the Donald Trump version of weather/climate upcoming.

Phil Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Trevor Noah summed up the disaster that will be Trump as president tonight. Its scary. People will regret their vote for Trump for the rest of their lives. Thankfully votes from people like Jim will not count in this state. Can't say the same for some other states.No doubt the dude is a lunatic, but there's a lot of tinfoil-hat crap circling around as of late.

TT-SEA Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 00Z ECMWF is weaker with the trough on Saturday than the 12Z run. Surprising reversal.

Jesse Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Quick pro-tip. This time of year especially, 00Z Euro runs will appear much warmer than 12Z runs, since 00Z is the middle of the afternoon and 12Z is the early morning. Have to account for that.
