I’m curious as to how you pick analogs, as those range from strong La Nina to weak El Nino. It doesn’t seem like you weight ENSO much- what would you say are the most important factors in making your forecast?
We did bust warm on the final day (even setting a daily record at IAD), but that's still not enough to change the contest. Here are the final standings and @tplbge trophy. Congratulations!
BWI is currently tied for 10th hottest July (and 10th hottest month). That’s probably going to be an outright win for 10th (or possibly even a tie for 9th) after today.
Four of BWI’s top ten hottest July’s (and top ten hottest months) have occurred in this decade.
