We remember singular events more than a constant drumbeat of whatever in most cases.
I remember the 1978 Blizzard or the Monson Tornado or the 2008 Ice Storm
I doubt I will regale my grandchildren with the tale of the Great Dewy Summer at BDL in 2020
High of 82F here in August. OMG!!!
Overall temps so far this summer have been very much AN. My pool temps attest to that. 3 90+ days here. I think 92 was my highest. Mostly good pool weather. Lots of AC use No record highs though
1988 I didn’t live here but that still sits in my memory as the most miserable summer for me temp wise
