The interior. I was cutting lawns that summer in Kelowna. And it was regarding the upper levels. I do remember sustained interior ridging didn’t establish that summer. There were hot days, but not 4-5+ days of a brazen, blue sky with just fair weather clouds along the ridges, which is common summer weather in the Okanagan. Curious if there’s a causal effect with El Niño as there was then.
He would be arguing:
1) NW is not as warm this year as years like 2015, etc.
2)-PDO is a more impressive anomaly, and there is no proof that it doesn't correlate!
3) N. pacific pattern has not been like El Nino at all.
Monsoon cannot get here soon enough. Euro shows 9 straight days of 95-104 highs here after today, with hardly any rain chances. Would be our hottest stretch since July 2022.
