Seems like the fire crews have been hitting these fires hardcore fast and getting them under control quickly unlike past years…At least so far.

TWC's July outlook. I'd bet a lot of money it'll end up closer to reality than the CPC outlook map.

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.
