Probably more like leaving to the beaches somewhere else

Faux-warm mongers,
rather they like pleasant temperatures (when it's cold) rather.

The Saharan Dust/haze might have been a blessing in disguise, lowering temps a couple degrees.
Or, could be the moderating effect of green vegetation from the multi-inch rain 1 to 2 weeks ago, which will dry up fast in these kinds of temps with no rain.
Or could be both.
Yeah, haven't heard much from the warm-mongerers!
And as I've mentioned in previous pages...the geography that allows for the cold winter temps in Texas that you cold lovers oh so desire is also responsible for these periodic dry spells that you all are groaning about. The subtropical high of Mexico ensures that you'll have to sacrifice one desire for another. So if you want
reliably cool, wet summers, you'll need the ridge to take a farther north position, to allow easterly flow on the underside like we saw in mid June, and early July...but that would also mean greater dominance of this ridge outside of summer, ending the days of heavy spring rains, and cold, snowy winters.
I personally wouldn't mind that: spring rains come with too much tornado risk, and I absolutely detest freezing cold and snow. But I respect any differences in preferences you all have.
