Don’t thinker hit the fords at high of 71. It’s 62 at 3:30.

Probably less than 9 months the way its been

Storming heavily here with warnings to my south and north.

Tornado warning, Anderson, Knox, Morgan near @Holston_River_Rambler

also less than 10 months away from the end of next winter, though. Creeping up

The way I look at it though there's 31 days until the longest day of the year then we start losing daylight again.. and only 73 days until August 1st and the crappiest month of the year is behind us

Yup only one night I could of really used it. But it wasn't worth it with the cool air were having now.. it will change soon though

43F for the low this morning 39.9F near the Qtown airport on Wunderground

This is the latest I've made it without installing in long time. Might make it close to June at this point

I've been thinking the first week or so of June for installs.. probably go from cool to boiling for two months..

I'm not a big fan of the portable ones in general due to efficiancy, although they have improved. But they only allow this type of unit where she lives. So far, so good. They are required to run the heat in the building until May 31 I guess...

2006-2007 moderate El Nino...also with -PDO like 2023-2024 and 1972-1973.

Most recent event by ENSO state Strong el nino: 2023-24 (super el nino: 2015-16) Moderate el nino: 2002-03 Weak el nino: 2018-19 (possibly continued into 2019-20?) ENSO neutral: 2024-25 (event currently in progress) Weak la nina: 2016-18 Moderate la nina: 2020-23 Strong la nina: 2010-11

Mine was really old and most likely very inefficient so probably skewing my opinion a bit, guessing the 2025 versions are certainly a little better.

I guess I agree with him that the recent -NAO/+PNA periods haven't been producing, but I'm not sure he agrees with me that a flip in the WPO would largely remedy that...aside from some marginal events that are growing ever more difficult to tilt favorably in a warmer atmosphere. However, I think the storm track issue is largely tied to the +WPO/NAO. IOW, I'm confident we will get BM tracks if we could muster a -WPO/-NAO/+PNA.

Totally - still can't resist looking as a .

Just got back from a 6.5 mile walk. Absolutely beautiful out today! Get out and enjoy it with the next few days coming. This will be a nice soaking rain once again.

you must have been near freezing on this date in 2002, ironic after a huge historic heatwave in April that year and the nicely hot and dry summer to follow.

One thing I am 100% with @bluewave on is that the west PAC holds the key to change.....we aren't going to see a great winter until that changes. But the ironic thing is that he points that out, and then in the same breath identifies past instances of -NAO/+PNA that peformed better to illustrate the point that fruitful patterns of the past are no longer producing. Well, no shit.....they were more favorable looking around the Bering Sea. Low heights in that area are killing us....it remained a constant last season, which in conjunction with the predominately +NAO is why we saw an inland storm track. I think the West Pacific warmth correlates to +WPO...we need to see that cool down, or else it really limits how effective any periods of -NAO/+PNA can be.

haha I had my space heater on. don't need to open any windows the cold wind comes into my house and blows open my bedroom door.

I had every window open, ceiling fans on and portable fan blowing on me. Was perfect sleeping weather.

I've always thought it's the out of shape people that complain about the heat.

climatologically that kind of weather begins in June, it's rare for it to be muggy and sultry in May. And not even early June, more like after June 15th.

96 is a stretch, I'd say more like 84.
