To the south it’s all about the heat and humidity but by this time next week, most of the US may […]
Way back in the early spring I shared my thoughts on the upcoming summer and stated that when looking back at previous El Nino to La Nina transition years, the pattern does not favour warm and dry but quite the opposite. Upper anomaly through June 2016. 2m temp anomaly for July so far! This, like last […]
