Our summer -- mostly cool with short blasts of heat

 

This is exactly the same as the last couple of years, although everything is growing much better than last year.  June actually has some sunshine.  We have a consistent pattern of no Pacific plumes hitting us, just slashing down and staying low.

This brings up the heat from the Gulf, but those are going to be short because the Atlantic doesn't really have a lot of heat energy.  At full blast, the Pacific pours out 100 times the heat energy, but now it is nothing.

The Gulf plumes are going quite north, giving our north some shirt-sleeve weather.  

The Atlantic plumes are rather limp going over to Europe.  It is generally stagnant giving some African heat to Spain.  The media is all over this.
