If we can’t have a cool or comfortable summer, I’ll settle for typical rather than super hot.

The record threatening temperature pattern is gone TFN and it looks like we have a period of more run-of-the-mill heat and humidity coming for an extended period of time, with of course the usual day to day and week to week variations where some are better than others. But I’ll take that over a long spell of hot humid and mostly rain-free like we just experienced.

I’ve been talking for months now about things playing out this way and at least SO FAR, the expectations I outlined still seem plausible.

Forecast at my place in NW suburbs sees lower high temps and at least some periodic rain chances next couple weeks:

USING A COMBINATION OF ANALOG METHODS AND COMPUTER MODELS LOOKING FORWARD WE CAN SEE THE SUBTLE PATTERN ADJUSTMENT:

Rain may pick up after first week of July.

So no, not cool and not wet the rest of summer on average, but trending better and starts next week, even this weekend to some extent.

The average for the rest of summer average is still above on temps and below on rainfall totals.
