I think this is proof of Global Cooling & the coming Ice Age. Everyone should start burning their trash, driving big gas guzzling vehicles, and firing up their BBQs. 'Cause Carbon Dioxide warms the climate. Ask Al Gore, he'll tell ya.

June hasn't been this nice since ... 1913

Meteorologists are reluctant to call a month "nice." They have their data and their science and typically do not describe the weather in such subjective terms.

Except now, because the data prove it.

"It's probably the best June since I've been here, and I've been here most of my life," said the National Weather Service's Valerie Meyers, who is in her late 40s. "It's been really nice."
Possibly the nicest June ever.

It's that type of thing that is fun to say but hard to quantify.

Thursday, however, was the 14th consecutive day to stay below 100 degrees. That's the longest stretch of its kind in any June since 1913.

The lower temperatures have allowed people to sleep with windows open and drive with their arms out vehicle windows. Evenings, too, have been spent chatting with neighbors while children or grandchildren play. Those events are not life-changing, but they are, well, nice.

Typically in June, high-pressure systems begin to form above the Valley. High pressure means clear skies and little wind. And, in June, clear skies let in the sunshine, sending the temperatures soaring.

This June, though, has remained cool because of what Meyers called "a persistent area of low pressure off the West Coast."

The low pressure has prevented the high-pressure systems from getting into place.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. This weekend, the days will heat up. Temperatures are expected to be back in the 104-105 range by the middle of next week

I think that's why scientists prefer saying climate change instead of global warming. Some places will cool down, just like glaciers here and there are growing instead of shrinking.

And yes, the weather here in San Diego this month has been abnormally cool. Not surprised to hear it is the same in AZ.

There's little that can be extrapolated from short term trends, or a single piece of the puzzle (such as Arizona). The average global temperature is rising, in any case.
