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
This. Could have been a spring torch to put 2016 to shame.
The +ENSO fears were borne out of recency bias (1980s - 2000s) when teleconnections were unfavorable during niños. In reality these things are state dependent, 1960s/70s niños expressed much differently.
Well the tropical forcing structure and overall general circulation is light years away from 2022.
But that might not be better..seeing the way things look now it probably means even more places torch, not just the west. Imagine 1988, or 2010 without the big trough in the west.
