64/52 spread at KSEA today, identical to yesterday. Good for a -6.7F mean departure on the day. @Phil could only imagine weather like this during July... At least he gets thunderstorms on the regular!

June finished -0.1 at ORD. Cooler than the last couple of Junes, but still a very average, unremarkable month overall. Quite weak considering the impending super Nino. June 2015, by comparison, finished at -3.2 despite being 2015-16 being my top analog for the upcoming winter.

That feeling, of wanting sun, is why these cool days are so great. Unending 80-95F+ weather gets old.

Does that mean he is suspended DK Metcalf style?

Perfect warm period. Nice to not always default to 90F in between troughs. 65F -> 85F -> 65F and so on is summer perfection. Ideally with some midlevel lightning and PSCZ drizzle thrown in.
