There's enough mixing to get us there. The prolonged drought and peak sun will help a lot too. I'd be surprised if at least a couple places don't hit 105+
Idk about all that but clearly the super Nino is not fully in charge of our weather. We're getting a lot of Nina influences which makes forecasting winter very challenging.
Idk it's got model and ensemble support and we're still a few days out. Ridges have only trended stronger as we got closer.
In addition the overall dry environment would make higher temps more plausible. I think some 105+ readings are on the table.
Probably why most governments don't care. Everyone running the country is 70+ and rich so of course they don't care about AGW when they'll all be dead in 10-20 years.
