This cracks me up from the "Washington Post". D.C.’s worst May ever, explained washingtonpost.com "This May, however, the usual northern jog of the jet stream hasn’t yet occurred in the Mid-Atlantic, although it’s right around the corner. While it’s tempting to try to find an explanation for this, there isn’t one. The specific configuration and position of the jet stream in any given year at a given location is somewhat random." LOL! That doesn't really explain it. A little research in teleconnection patterns, please. How about commenting on the omega blocks in the central U.S.? "This May’s average high temperature is just 66 degrees, the second coldest on record month-to-date. It is an amazing 15 degrees cooler than last year’s average month-to-date high of 81 degrees. Month-to-date, the only cooler year on record is 1882 (average high of 65.5 degrees)." That really doesn't sound like the "worst, ever". What is expected? 72 degrees and a refreshing round of rain from Monday through Thursday preferably during 2-4 pm? Geez.
