And to add on, Re: Euro. The Euro has mixing a full 100mb higher than the GFS/NAM/GEM. It’s tried to do the same this past week, but corrected itself as we approached each day of the heat wave.
The heat monger has been surprisingly pessimistic on heat. But I do think it is a red flag that the Euro is the hottest once again across the region as a whole. It had a rough go of it with a terrible performance last summer in that regard, and has not been stellar this summer so far either.
