It is definitely a hot and dry year. The last couple years have been as well. We're seeing an upward trend where temperature records get broken almost every summer.

It has been unusually warm this year. We didn't get as much snow as usual, either. Last year we had a few heat waves, kind of like this year. I'd be willing to bet 2015 is going to take the record from 2014 though.
As unusual as it is, it is kind of nice. I do love the rain, so when it comes around I'm even happier to see it.

Saw this today. Apparently the Pacific Warm Blob is to blame.
