95 was pretty brutal maybe you're thinking of 96?

Yeah, it had to have either been 96 or 97. Both were really cool summers (followed 3 very hot summers).

JJA averages (PHL)

1993: 78.2

1994: 78.4

1995: 78.6

1996: 74.0

1997: 74.2

97 was not bad, but that was probably because relative to 96 it had way more 90 degree days, but it was at least normal.  Most of the El Nino summers though were not mild.  2002/2009/2015 I don't believe were either.

2002 was a very warm summer, but the 02-03 event was a moderate, as it didn't quite peak at above 1.5 on the ONI/RONI.

2009 wasn't warm, and in fact, one of the coldest June/July.

2015 was slightly warmer than normal, but 2016 was much warmer. 2014 was the cool summer, and you could technically count that as the pre-nino summer if you consider 14-15 (borderline warm neutral/weak el nino) as part of the el nino event.

Almost all 1.5+ peak seasons have warmer post-nino summers than pre-nino summers, with the exception of the Pinatubo case in 91-92.

95 was very hot..especially mid July, one of the worst heatwaves of the century..also summer of 95 was a developing La Nina

93 and 95 were the worst heatwaves ever. Those summers had wall-to-wall heat, with not really much relief. 2010 and 2012 were just as bad, but improvements in the infrastructure made it easier for us to be equipped to handle the heat than it was during the mid-90s summers.
