June 2020 Forecasts and Discussions

Ensembles look troughy. Starting to feel like 2012?

Summer and early fall 2012 was lovely. June was cool and wet but things turned around pretty quickly once we turned the page into July.

YVR picked up less than 40mm of rain from July 1st thru October 10th, 2012. Definitely wouldn't mind a repeat.

Maybe I'm thinking of 2011? Either way, incredibly premature. 2018 had a cool first half of June as well. Regardless, I'm starting to feel confident that we will be able to enjoy sunny weather without sucking in smoke this summer. Especially if the cool weather sticks around into July.

June 2012 was cooler and much wetter than 2011 actually. Probably the main reason why the 2012 fire season wasn't too significant despite the drier than average summer.

And even though summer 2012 was pretty dry...there was actually a lack of extreme heat. Average highs of 23.1C, 25.5C and 22.8C in July, August and September at the Pitt Meadows station. Only six days above 30C during the entire summer as well.

Sounds like a nice summer actually. That was only my second summer here in the LM and I can remember realizing how much nicer summers are here than the Okanagan. Minus the thunderstorms there.

Glancing at the GEFS and GEPS, it Looks like heights slowly build over the west into the second half of june. Seasonable warmth would be fantastic after this latest round of troughiness. The gardens are ready to take off, just need a round of sunshine.

As in June 2018. Summer 2018 was perfect (except wildfires obviously). I want a repeat!

I would love a summer with average temperatures. I hate super hot weather, So sunny and like 21 to 24c would be fantastic. After that just feels to hot.

Any kind of summer here isn't my preference (which is lots of thunderstorms and temps around 15C-30C) so I'll take whatever Mother Nature dishes out. Just as long as there is no smoke.

Kind of like how that 2015 winter was perfect minus those pesky few months of ridging.

'14-15 winter? That's got to be the most pathetic winter I've ever experienced living here.

Coming from someone who enjoys year round troughing and negative anomalies, I can't understand how you enjoyed that winter.

Do you not like cold and snow? Both 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 were some of the worst years in recent history for cold and snow events around here.

Sorry, my sarcasm needs to be more obvious. I was kind of poking fun at the idea that a summer could be perfect minus 3 weeks of Beijing level air quality.

Also I'm not necessarily in favour of year round troughing. I find I like variable weather conditions and average PNW weather. I think maybe I thought I liked rain more than I actually did after all those smoky drought summers.(2015, 2017, 2018).

I suppose in winter and early spring I like lots of troughing due to being a skier. But I'm starting to like the idea of ridging in the shoulder season when it cant get too hot and nights are cool. I find troughing pleasant in summer because the sun usually burns off the clouds by midday and we get nice 20C partially cloudy days.

Reminder, June is by far the wettest month of the year. Yes, I know, for you losers who live west of the mountains this is not the case. It is truly amazing how the mountains change the precipitation patterns!
