Chicago had a top 10 warmest June lol

DCA: +4.2 NYC: +4.2 BOS: +4.3 ORD: +4.5 ATL: +3.3 IAH: +3.1 DEN: +3.0 PHX: +2.5 SEA: +0.4

this has been a pretty respectable period of heat for this region considering it's only June, which some people seem to have forgotten. June was never expected to be super hot anyway, yet most places are running well above average on the month, so it's actually been warmer than initially thought.

Models showing a resurgence of the heat this weekend. Possibly near 100 on Saturday if everything goes right.

should easily break the record high tomorrow at ORD given how temps performed today. 100 is probably just out of reach, though.

The GFS may as well be defunct. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the GEM was outperforming it at this point.

This is just a taste of what’s to come. July and August are going to be absolutely brutal

continuing to trend hotter

enjoy.

lol just stop, seriously

GEFS has been running too cold for a while now. It will correct warmer with time.

The pattern being modeled for the 2nd half of June is looking pretty ugly. The GEPS in particular is just an absolute blowtorch, and this is just a taste of what's to come. Can't even being to imagine what will happen in July/August when boreal summer teleconnections mature, but we'll see.

Nah man, it’s not going to be the “it gets hot every year” type of heat, this year is different. It’s also not clear that this June will be “more moderate” yet.

I'm not a big heat fan myself, but I honestly think some of you are in denial, no offense. There isn't a single variable that will lead to the avoidance of a death ridge this year. Check out the SSTs/OHC in the Gulf/SE region. Speaks for itself.

100% expected actually given upcoming MJO progression/tropical forcing response. Won't last long tho, so enjoy.

DCA: +2.0 102 NYC: +1.8 100 BOS: +1.7 99 ORD: +2.4 104 ATL: +1.5 102 IAH: +2.0 107 DEN: +2.4 104 PHX: +1.8 120 SEA: +1.3 99

This summer (and likely autumn) is going to be a literal torch fest for the entire country (except Alaska), and it's actually starting to concern me. Even without factoring climate change into it, the state of tropical forcing and internal variability itself favors heat to a rather extreme degree this year. Enjoy the next few weeks because it's looking ugly afterwards. Worth noting that 1988 happens to be one of the better analogs for this summer, which is rather unfortunate as a modern 1988 regime would be potentially catastrophic.

I would not be surprised if this ends up being the hottest summer on record for this sub. Niña onset with descending +QBO is pretty much a guarantee for a blowtorch summer, though I don't think we see much in the way of extreme heat until later on in July/August.

none whatsoever here

so bad

It's been a wonderful spring here in the Midwest. Sorry to hear it hasn't been as nice on the EC.

I get that 2012 was technically warmer due to the freak March heatwave, but as a whole, I actually prefer this spring over 2012 in my area specifically.

This might just be the nicest spring I've ever experienced in my lifetime. Springs around these parts tend to not be very pleasant, but this one has been an exception for sure.

Still doesn't change the fact that it's been one of the warmest springs on record for this sub as a whole, with the mild (albeit on the wet side) pattern looking to continue for the foreseeable future.
