From Kansas city to all of Texas all the way out to Portland Oregon down to San Diego, temperatures this week are 10 to 20 degrees above normal. Here out on the California coast where I live there are Santana Winds (from onshore going out to sea) very unusual and temperatures where I live presently at 88 degrees Fahrenheit today. (probably the highest temperature with cloud cover) we have had on the coast where I live in the last year or so. Very strange.
For example, you would expect that in Las Vegas still which was 95 degrees still today but very unusual this late in the year.
For example, on a normal year (I think those are gone now) I would have had to turn the heater on about half the days this summer. But instead of that my windows have been open every night since about June with the heater off except for a few days of cold where it got down into the 40s and 50s. And so, this all is very strange throughout a lot of the U.S. right now. Also, even though it is October I haven't had the forced air heating on at all for at least a month or two right now. Very strange. Especially because between Halloween and Thanksgiving is often the coldest time of the year here on the coast. Not the windiest but usually just the coldest temperatures(or so it always seems). But, not this year it looks like.
However, my wife says she hasn't seen October this warm since the last really big El Nino that washed away bridges and homes in California and dropped homes off of cliffs and when the ocean broke through sliding glass doors and brought down redwood decks and knocked down houses to close to the beach. And this was 1995 and 1997-98.
