And, I don't see how anyone could possibly make such a statement after the historic and persistent inordinately extreme heat and dryness of last summer. <br /><br />Westen WA most certainly does get its heat and sun. And, why suggest moving to Canada? That country experiences either very hot and humid or very hot and dry summers, depending on the region.<br /><br />Or are you just complaining for the sake of complaining?tracksdc89https://www.blogger.com/profile/13859004679371356481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-652907422658362102016-06-09T08:03:54.486-07:002016-06-09T08:03:54.486-07:00Western WA no longer has summer

The oceanic high is presently centered at 160 longitude and 35 latitude. This is about normal. Clockwise circulation around the high drags cool air down to the PNW (June gloom) until the high grows larger typically around the 3rd week of June or by the first week of July. Then our skies will clear and temps will warm. It's good to see a reasonably normal pattern developing.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751991294132134335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-25564977094314647362016-06-08T09:11:34.197-07:002016-06-08T09:11:34.197-07:00It's interesting that the predictions for the ...It's interesting that the predictions for the rest of the summer are still for higher than normal temperatures.<br />I'd love to hear Cliff's thoughts on what's coming up for July and August- given that things have profoundly changed, what conditions contribute to the remarkable temporary ridging that we've seen this spring, and how will it change for summer?<br />andy gladishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515546420987565268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-57966863209376012782016-06-08T08:09:14.446-07:002016-06-08T08:09:14.446-07:00Wonderful to see good weather returning.
Thankfu...Wonderful to see good weather returning. <br /><br />Thankfully that hot, sunny stuff only hangs around long enough this year (so far!) to remind us why we love the cool, cloudy weather that many of us moved to western WA to enjoy. <br /><br />I instinctively cringe and then laugh when the TV weather folks get all excited about hot, dry, sunny weather. If that's what I wanted, I would have continued to live in southern CO and souther CA. <br /><br />It would be interesting to hear Cliff's thoughts on future climate modeling for western WA, especially regarding winter versus summer temperatures and moisture. Do we get wetter winters and drier, hotter summers as we saw last year? Or could we have more moisture in summer than historical due to more troughs flowing through? <br /><br />Yearly averages only tell part of the story. The winter versus summer story is even more interesting to many of us. <br /><br />John Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271037292493818827noreply@blogger.com
