Why do most people consider first half of September autumn? The weather is more similar to August than October. Summer ends on September 20. The first half of June here is usually cloudier and cooler than the first half of September.
Yeah, first half of September is more summer than autumn. If anything, the weather in September is usually nicer than in June here.

But that's the nature of the seasons isn't it? Autumn is when it goes from warm to cold. We use meteorological seasons in Australia, and indeed in most temperate places, December is warmer than March. It's also for record keeping purposes.
It almost seems as if we are slowly going to be reverting back to Northwest positive anomalies and east of the rockies negative as we progress closer to winter

If this does play out, I'll be fully convinced that something's broken/changed. This can't keep going on.

Unfortunately all I can say is I feel this is going to be similar to 13-14. Not bad and I believe above average here when all 3 months are averaged. Started out warm, brutal in jan, and ended warm but then March was brutal. I do think there will be differences especially early on. We will still have warmth from the Nino lingering, way above normal east coast waters, lower sea ice than that year, and the pdo is weakening not strengthening. 13-14 should have been a warm winter all around because of how strongly positive the AO and Nao were but the Pacific wanted to change that. I don't think it will be an exact redux of 13-14 especially down south, but it will bear similarities. All in all don't be too worried yet imo. Another positive for me is every july- august period since 1980 that was above normal featured well above average Temps in winter. A correlation of course but not causation so it doesn't mean that this winter will be warm but it does have good omens.
Yup CFSv2 latest runs are definitely repositioning the positive anomalies over the PNW and West. You can see the models beginning to change the overall pattern that has been in place for a year

Can't help but to be in awe, this pattern is here to stay. Even a record breaking El Nino could not stop it, that is insane!

We got in a good summer. Don't mind it as much now.
