Just did it 20 minutes ago. We get a stat about Nanaimo and immediately. “Yea but SEA…”

Okay I was maybe joking a bit about the sensor but I do remember some sensor adjustment at SEA awhile back. I could be dreaming though. The disparity between here and Seattle has been unusual in recent weeks as Seattle is generally a slightly warmer climate. Without ignoring the early May warmth. Nanaimo has had 22 days of 20C+ so far this season. Their average is probably 12 or 13. The 1981-2010 average was between 10 and 11.

Accepting reality has been the difficult part for some. Especially when comments remarking upon the recent vomit trail of extreme summer warmth are immediately followed with retorts like "Yeah but OLM was 0.1 degree below its historic average in May 2024!!!1".

I don't think it ran way warm, it's just the anomalies during the 2010s were exaggerated due to more UHI compared to previous decades. The nice thing is we can look at a station like OLM in the same region and not see the weird decadal aberrations for anomalies since they haven't had much land use change around them over their history.

Problem is that once you had your little epiphany after 2023, you started going overboard and all in on heat/dryness every warm season. To the point that almost all of your predictions have busted on the warm side. Again, very similar to how you went all in on the demise of lowland snowfall after 2007-08. There is a happy medium where one can accept reality but also realize that this doesn't mean the most recent trends are just bound to keep accelerating, other cycles and factors be d*mned.
