This easily wipes out the positive anomaly of both May and June here
Won't get any better in August or Sept according to NCEP CFS Monthly. In August currently for you it is 0F anomaly or just average, but Sept is -1 anomaly. No heat for you this summer. Your highest temp in the GEFS 16 day is 88F, then downward trend to July 31st where the high in Chicago is just 80F. Not a single 90F day in your 16 day forecast. Over and done. Put a fork in your hopes and dreams of a blistering hot summer this year. Ain't gonna happen. The pattern on the maps looks just like last winter. The pattern that is gonna hold all thru next winter. At least your cold dreams will be fully realized next winter.

As for the next 45 days.... Yeah.
At this point, I'll take an average August!
Since Bastardi has been right so far for July (but wrong about June), he also said that the Midwest will have a warm dry September. Let's hope

I've come to terms with that.

Consolation prize I guess.
Btw, yet another year I found where we had a colder than normal winter but a scorching summer. Winter had average highs 4 degrees below normal, and summer ended up with 48 days of 90+ temps
There is no statistical basis in your theory cold winters= cool summers.

You guys are making me sad as I bake (without 90s)!! Look at that 45 day map too. CT normal to above still!
Less than 10 hours in the 60sF since July 6th!! WTF. Drop down already!
Here.... have fun with this...
Bridgeport (BDR) at the coast....
July 1-15, 2014
Average Max temp: 84.2° .... 12th warmest on record
Average Min temp: 68.6° .... 10th warmest on record
Average Mean Temp: 76.4° .... 9th Warmest on record
Last 5 years in a row the first half of July has been in the Top 11 warmest!
Windsor Locks (BDL) (northern CT) has their 9th warmest July 1-15 period as well which is more impressive since records go back to 1905.

Another reminder on how much 2013 stands out. For the min, a full 2.1°F then #2. And the mins reflect humidity. 2nd half of July looks like it'll be more normal at least.

All that matters to me now is that it didn't work for you this summer, and I warned you of that this past winter when you posted non stop about how joyful you were with the cold blasts. I was hoping you got this as karma, and it happened. Ha ha.
No offense, but out of all the weather preferences on this board I find yours the worst of the worst. The colder the winter the better for you, and then you want baking hot summers. That is a nightmare for me. I prefer stable and closer to normal temps in all seasons.

Nice catch.. yup, Lows reflect the dewpoints/humidity. . 2 years in a row I thought 2012 was bad.. last year was horrific. Here I thought I was going to be able to tolerate this crap after a nice spring.
When I learned not long ago that one way to see what kind of dewpoints are coming up is to look at the forecasted lows I thought that was cool. (in general not exact)
Air quality advisory in effect here. It's pretty smokey out there. Hot too, it was already at 30º by 10AM.
