Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d
00Z ECMWF is much drier than its 12Z run. So many moving parts next week though with a non-stop supply of ULLs just blossoming out of nothing makes me think it could easily go back to wet.
Here's March-April-May in Newport Beach:
2 back-to-back years of cooler springs than normal is not climate change.
A rise of ~2.5 degrees over a 100-year period of record is.
The new pattern is troughing over California non-stop all of May and June followed by development of the 4-corners high in early July with a quick transition from winter to summer and no figs on fig trees.
Jacarandas which used to bloom in May, pre climate change now wait until July to bloom.
