I think that was a relatively benign summer if I remember correctly. Not much in terms of extremes for heat/precip.

Maybe I'm thinking of 2011 when I thought he was suggesting a cold/wet summer. Did 2012 have any bad fires? Or was there a heavy monsoon season in June to keep them down?

Come to think of it, I think it was 2011 that was that San Francisco-ish summer I remember.

Fire season was surprisingly mundane considering how dry things were from mid July thru mid October. June2012 was extremely wet though, yes.

Maybe the delayed onset of mountain snow melting will mean no smoke season this summer? Hey, I can hope.
