Yeah. I still remember the EPS updates multiple times a day last week when it was showing a big heatwave out here. It’s trended better now but it seems like the folks here who enjoy warm season troughing are more content just experiencing it without needing to constantly rub it in.
The ECMWF/EPS was the most bullish actually, then corrected cooler in the medium range.
And yes, it’s been this way all year. Whether it continues remains to be seen, of course.
