'Climate change' leads to cooler weather in Texas this summer

 Electrovers:

It’s setting up to be a historically cool summer across much of the CONUS, particularly for the Midwest and the South, including states such as Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas… among many others.

The Pacific Northwest’s heatwave is the anomaly here, not the norm.

Vast swathes of the United States have been holding unusually-cool for the majority of 2021 — the nation as a whole suffered its coldest February since 1989, while Texas’ “big freeze” that month resulted in a deathtoll of 702 with reports of people freezing to death in their beds.

And even now, with mid-summer fast-approaching, two-thirds of the CONUS is still holding below average.

In fact, record summer chills are threatening to descend from the Arctic, as a mass of polar air rides anomalously-far south on the back of a low solar activity-induced “meridional” jet stream flow.

Looking at the latest GFS run (shown below), temperature departures some 16-20C below the seasonal average will continue to sweep central and southern regions as the month of July progresses.

Also, and mercifully, the heat in the west looks set to soon subside.

Escaping the MSM’s attention though –and during the peak of the Pacific Northwest’s “catastrophic” heatwave– San Francisco actually neared historic low temperatures for July.

The city logged a daily max of just 58F (14.4C) on Sunday, July 11 — this reading was just a few degrees off the coldest-ever high on record for San Francisco in the month of July, and was its lowest-maximum since the 57F (13.9F) observed almost a decade ago (during the solar minimum of cycle 24).

On a recent trip to Houston the temperature was in the 90's but on the return trip that evening it was between 69 and 71.   On days when the temperature in the northwest was setting record highs in recent weeks it was 30 degrees cooler in south Texas.
