You assume I’m basing this on models.
A lot goes into seasonal forecasting. It’s called model *guidance* for a reason. And there are many different types of models. I wouldn’t base a prediction entirely on one element of guidance.
Eh, that's one station in a city that has seen a ton of development in recent decades. I'm seeing a lot of other places that aren't forecast to come close to records like that.
I'm sure large parts of the U.S. will be hot this summer. Including the Southwest at times.
But I do find it a bit ironic that you seem to be putting so much faith in these seasonal models for a nationwide furnace, while you are very skeptical of climate change models.
