>Chicago gets 94 degrees for a summer max three summers in a row

>Yet again, the Northern Plains has gotten off with an easy summer for heat. Chicago, Minneapolis and Detroit has yet again, like last summer been cooler and wetter than normal and ironically Chicago has now seen three straight summers where their peak temperature for the year has topped out at 94 degrees. Why the cooler summer? Low solar sunspot activity, a multiyear pattern which has taken shape over the past few years across the continent? A cooler Pacific Ocean despite El Nino coming on? Who knows. Could this lead to a colder winter than last year? These are questions many are asking. I have written both on this blog and my global warming blog which I have attempted to answer some of these questions.

Check out my winter forecast on this blog and also my other blog at http://truthbehindthescience.blogspot.com/.

Appologies for the short post today.
Thanks for reading.

    >I disagree with above normal summer would automatically drive an above normal winter. During the scorching summers of the 30s when summer temps were at their warmest on record, there was coldest record winter temps that following winter. Evidence suggusts cooling and Europe hasn't been as warm as recent previous summers.

    >Perhaps Lochgelly hitting 28 degrees C in July of this year could suggest a record breaking hot winter for Europe or even the globe!

    I think its too early to guess, but from the kind of above average temps we've seen across Europe this summer, then it is likely this will continue into the winter and for the forseeable future.
