    It’s weird because it’s actually been the rainiest, coldest year for California. Usually it’s pretty damn hot by this time of year.

      A global average is just that: a global average. Some places are hotter, some colder. Not every place sees the same things at the same time.

        Oh yeah i’m not saying it’s not hot elsewhere, I just don’t understand why it suddenly seemed to switch. Could just be a fluke I suppose.

          It’s the wavier jet stream that’s causing the sudden switches. You either get really hot or cool and (often) wet depending on which piece of the wave you’re on
