Don’t tell that to all of the people suffering under the current heat wave! LOL! Based on what I am seeing the northern and southern hemispheres so far I will not be surprised if we have a colder than normal winter this year.
The UK is still having their worst summer ever.

BRITAIN is facing its “worst ever” summer with cold wet weather ruining family holidays and blighting the Olympics, forecasters warned last night.
August is set to be a washout following a miserable July and the wettest June since records began – meaning summer is effectively over.

Yep, The earths' thermal conveyance is ALL screwed up. To be expected with changes in energy received and its effect on the jet stream and oceans.
I just saw where we may get hit with a solar flare in the X1 cat! Its been awhile since we've had one that large.
X-FLARE: Giant sunspot AR1515 unleashed a strong X1.1-class solar flare on July 6th at 2308 UT. Because Earth is well-connected to the blast site by solar magnetic fields, a fusillade of protons accelerated by the explosion might soon reach our planet. Stay tuned for updates.
