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.
This May was about 1.5 degrees below the long term average for downtown Portland.
Interestingly, May 2022 was actually more than a degree colder than May 1964 in downtown Portland.
Eric is a giant weenie. He's been saying for weeks now that IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME before Mexican heat dome moves into SW U.S. and locks in..meanwhile, the Euro says the current heat there (which is not particularly noteworthy) is transient and this is next.
