Here is the video of Joe Bastardi’s appearance on Bloomberg yesterday where he explains why July 2012 wasn’t as warm as what many think and what the media would have you think. He also shares thoughts on his concerns with the hurricane season in the weeks ahead. Well worth a watch.
While we enjoy summer-like conditions over the next 3-5 days UK-wide, we all know that given the type of summer we’ve had, this ain’t gonna last. I do believe that with the recent ‘more settled’ pattern we’ve had since the warm week leading up to the Olympics, this reflects well with the return to a […]
Since last weekend I have been shooting for a high of between 30-32C in London. I continue to stand by that number. As is frequently the case, the BBC is playing catch up with their numbers as they started the week at around 20-21C and now their at 27C. Still too low but as it […]
Summer 2012 has been hot over the Plains and parts of the East but it has been cool compared to normal over Southern California and other parts of the West but in coming days it will be anything but cool. In fact, the hottest part of the nation over the next 5-7 days will be centred […]

Since the week leading up to the start of the Olympic Games, the overall pattern has been a somewhat drier and more settled one with the hot week running up to the Olympic opener marking the change and although there has been cool, dull and damp days since the week of mid to upper 80s in […]
Days ago I made a statement which gave a 90F for London and 80F for Scotland and I am going to continue holding to that idea just now. As it stands, heights build to strongest levels Friday through Sunday but Sunday perhaps sees a front work in from the west which could bring some interesting […]
It’s sure been a long hot summer not only for Chicago but for much of the Midwest and nation with as many as 33 days of 100°+ in Wichita, KS, 24 in Oklahoma City, OK and 22 in Dallas, TX. A hot summer which seems to have started back in March which of course saw super warmth and records […]

The gears of the summer pattern are changing as we progress deeper into August with more troughiness set to dig into the Lakes and East while the heat shifts to further west. The worst of the summer heat is done with the Plains and East despite more warmth coming and going. Although the hottest weather has likely occured Out West […]
