Yep this year was a cool one for the US.

Frequency Of US 90 Degree Days -Second Fewest On Record

Bottom line: The only year with fewer 90 degree readings in the US was 1992, which was cooled by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. The three coolest summers all occurred above 350 PPM CO2

I remember when Pinatubo erupted. That's when I went to the Philippines to collect ash for geology stuff and met my future wife who was nurse in Manila at the big hospital.

I remember it also. Shortly after getting out of the Army. Bought a house. It was a cool summer and in fact I called it "the summer that never was". Remember the gorgeous red suns in the evening.

I remember massive flooding in late spring for a few years in a row.
