*Stormforce~beka* i have full air-conditioning built in throughout my house

Summerlover2006 as i no longer live in the UK i thinks the effects of La Nina on the summer are less pronounced than they are here where i am

Don i would say we are 6 weeks ahead in moving into La Nina than we were in 1998

with the transition from strong El Nino into La Nina we may see a summer similar to 1998

miserable day again today snowing again this morning..generally damp and cold all round.

Addicks Fan 1981 looks like all members as of yesterday are forecasting a La Nina of some sort.

danm pretty much ..eating into my "summer"

SollyOlly i couldn't live in a house without AC now

heavy snow right now in Edmonton...May 1st tomorrow

MattStoke i dont mind the heat here i prefer it too the cold..plus its mostly a dry heat and i have the added benefit of having full air conditioning in my house

snow is back in the forecast overnight and tomorrow it wont be too bad here but think of those poor lot down in the Calgary area who could get up to 40cm in the next few days...

1978 was also similar slightly cooler at overall 14.4c don't remember how wet it was though. interestingly the period 1902-1922 had 7 summers that sit in the top 30 coldest summers in the records obviously 1913 doesn't make it Addicks Fan 1981 1993 sits at 112 coldest..in my lifetime the top 3 coldest summers are 1972 (too young to remember) at 23 on the list and 1977 at 38 and 1978 at 41.

noticed it was still light here when i went to bed at 9.30pm last night

SqueakheartLW looking at previous La Nina and how they developed from an El Nino im 90% sure we are heading into a La Nina..the set up and the cooling is very similar to previous transitions

sundog calling BS on the statement on sea surface temps hitting "shocking new high" average global sea surface temperatures are exactly the same as they were a year ago in April 2023 as they are now at 21.1c in 2016 they were 21.0c (last el nino).
