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.
