Weather dynamics seem counterintuitive imo. One would think a huge pool of warmer than avg water off the NW coast would make North America hot. You would be wrong. That pool of water is the reason for two bad winters and two cool summers. It has made the west coast above average, but looks to me like it has made vast parts of the US middle and east below average.
Though it was the only factor. Sometimes the east coast has the opposite pattern to the west coast.

I'm so tired of it. I just want some kind of change at this point I don't care what it is. I'm sick of looking at that pool of anomalously warm water every time I view ocean temps. How come an El Nino never lasts two solid years? How can that pool just sit there this long? You would think something would have changed. It looks permanent.
El Niño is just adding to the Pacific Warm Pool; it's just warm from the equator northward. It's not going to have the same effect as just the North Pacific being warm. All that warm water is going to dump lots of heat and moisture into the atmosphere besides altering air circulation patterns.
I'm surprised this is coming from Accuweather, the author of that article sounds confused, the average temperature and average high temperature are two different things.
9. "With the highest average July temperature out of all 10 cities that made the cut, Dallas residents cope with highs near 86 degrees at the peak of summer." Really? Highs near 86?
3. "High humidity combined with average July highs of nearly 84 degrees put Houston in the top three." Mmkay.
2. "In Miami, average daytime highs in July hit close to the 84-degree mark and Florida's geographic location fuels high humidity levels." Lol not really.
And what's with the random order? And San Diego? Bye.
