Apocalyptic.

Here is what has happened to May and June in Eugene. Every year since 2013 has been warmer than the regression line except 2022. July and August are even hotter relative to the old normals, of course.

As a Cali ex-pat who moved here expecting the 81/51 Eugene summer normals of yore, the new 87/57 regime is not what I signed up for, and I would be over the moon to experience a 2011-type summer again.

2011 was pretty remarkable in that regard. Top tier cold Spring followed by a genuinely cool summer. All after 2010 no less. That whole year in particular was something else. You had that big cold snap in late February, followed by the bitter warm season, then after that in fall and winter none of the coolness was ever really answered for, with a mild September followed by a cooler than normal OND. The end result being the coldest year on record for KSEA since 1985, and an objectively chilly year overall even compared to any period of record since observation began in our region. It sticks out like a huge sore thumb amongst a sharply positive trendline.

A lot of inland California saw a legitimately below average July just last year. And if you think our climate has warmed dramatically, they've pretty much gone twice as far in half the time.
