My Power bills state that the Seattle area temps in July had an avg temp 4 degrees below last year. June was 7 degrees below last year. May was 2 degrees below last year.
The cooler summer really is noticible, and I don’t blame global cooling or warming - just weather patterns, the path of the jet stream, and el Nino & la Nina water variations. Nothing that man has any affect over. Just good ole Mother Nature doing what she always does.
Yeah...we had a cooler than normal summer last year (or maybe year before...can't remember), and like you I attribute it to normal weather variation.
