There's a good chance we'll see 100+ readings this month. The dry weather and soils will be a huge help to push temperatures over the edge.
Ensembles aren't are ridge happy as OP runs yet though
The extended dry spells are worrisome because they usually end in a massive deluge.
And if forecasts are correct for late July through September then things will get a lot more tropical soon.
I am skeptical about this look though
The Euro missed the blocking, the western Atlantic is much cooler than last year. There's likely going to be a feedback loop with the intensifying drought out west.
The Euro is just applying Nina climo.
The crash would've happened no matter who was in charge. Poor pandemic fiscal & monetary policies guaranteed it.
The excess money printing was done under Trump & he wanted another 2K in stimulus.
Funny enough Dems would've been better off long term if Trump got re-elected as all the blame would've been geared towards Republicans.
It's likely gonna roast till September. There's been much cooler Junes than this.
In fact I'm pretty sure everyone's still above normal and that's with the higher averages.
