Now watch it be the oppositeWill it be hot, mild, or average? Here's weatherbell's prediction from last year. Wasn't it cooler than normal last summer??? I have a terrible short-term memory.
and more and more lately, it's both overly hot AND humid.. I think the Gulf of Mexico is the primary reason, and the seasonal jet streams bringing in dryer air too far north. (notice I didn't even mention that three letter curse word, AGW....)Sounds like its pretty much impossible to get a cool, dry summer in Atlanta with low humidity. Its either gonna be hot and dry or cooler and wet with lots of humidity.
A large component of the summertime rainfall in the SE US is from landfalling tropical cyclones. Until we know the overall behavior of the hurricane season good luck predicting summertime temps in the SE US
FWIW, by and large my summer rain is largely due to daily or almost daily colliding sea breeze fronts (though Irma did one heck of a job on the wetlands down here last year) ...Whereas I don't necessarily disagree with this, I will say that May-June rainfall appears to be pretty crucial based on my Atlanta research and heavy May-June rainfall often occurred without the influence of a landfalling TC. That's not surprising since that is early in the tropical season. So, if May-June rainfall, regardless of tropical influences, could be predicted well, then I think that would give a pretty good hint of overall summer temperature prospects.
KATL rainfall stats for the 9 years of hottest of 92 or lower:
1884: 10.73" in June, alone, which is the 2nd wettest June on record, and is near three times the normal for June: no TC influence
1885: 28" of rainfall May-Sep vs norm under 20": no TC influence before 8/29 and hottest through 8/28 only 91
1910: 11.59" May-June vs norm near 7.5": no TC influence
1961: 35" Feb-June including 7.38" June, vs 26" normal: no TC influence
1965: 7.15" June, nearly double the normal: only 0.78" from TS #1 6/14-5
1973: 7.14" May, nearly double the normal: no TC influence
1974: 11" July-Aug: no TC influence
2003: 22" May-July, nearly double the normal: 3.68" TS Bill 6/30-7/2
2013: 28" May-Aug, nearly double the normal: 4.14" TS Andrea 6/5; possibly 1.82" indirect effects TS Dorian 7/3
The above shows that TCs had little to no influence on the lack of heat in 7 of the 9 years. The other 2, 2003 and 2013, were influenced at least moderately.
It was, it didn't even hit 100 here at CAE.Will it be hot, mild, or average? Here's weatherbell's prediction from last year. Wasn't it cooler than normal last summer??? I have a terrible short-term memory.
Same here! I predict 97+ degrees for more then 5 days this summer!.I predict its gonna be hot lol

Unless there is a drought the chances are lower for that kind of heat. I could see approaching mid 90's and muggy but not 100 with soil moisture higher than normal.Same here! I predict 97+ degrees for more then 5 days this summer!.
For what city ?Made a poll for how many 100 degrees or higher in the southeast this year.
I would think your own since the votes are public. You can see who voted what number for their area unless there isn't one, then only the member knows that.For what city ?

The poll says SE so my vote includes the whole SE; including that stretch around and NW of Columbia, SC.I would think your own since the votes are public. You can see who voted what number for their area unless there isn't one, then only the member knows that.
