In most cases it does. If you remember the summer of 2006, heat and dry weather lasted into the fall with several record-breaking tempertaures. But again, that is in MOST cases. It appears because of the funky transitional phase we’re in right now, the weather is confused and muddled. I’d expect a return to nice, warm summer weather in the not too distant future with some of the really hot stuff occuring in August—but again, that’s if the El Nino functions the way it has in the past. Good question!
