I never would’ve guessed this May was the 13th warmest ever at SEA, but that just goes to show how acclimated I am to the new normal. Felt like a garden variety May with warm ups and cool downs. It must’ve only been the duration of the ridge at the beginning of the month that caused this.

I know your climate has changed more than ours, but I’m legit surprised PDX couldn’t even pull this off in June 2022. That was an old school ULL fest up here, but it must’ve been the ridging during the last week (that kicked off a very hot and dry J/A/S) that pushed you over the average.

All I said was I don’t see any extended hot spells. And I stand by that. And I am not even sure the first half of June ends up warmer than normal. Which isn't too far off what that chart is saying. I understand climo... stop with your whiny drama.

Fair, May 2024 was a coolish month up north but I do know there was a very sharp N/S gradient across Oregon that May and June. IIRC SLE was also running unusually warm that month. PDX was running way warmer than any other station in the metro for no apparent reason during late winter and early spring 2025 before it was corrected. The 82°F monthly record set that March at PDX is rather suspect for that reason, but I guess NWS has bigger fish to fry than to investigate that one data point.

For the major I-5 stations, they still have easily the warmest departure. And Justin's warm season above normal streak stat literally only applies to PDX from Salem north.
