Overall, 2023 and 2024 did not have nearly as many “pop up storm days” in the summer months compared to normal.
2025 IS having more pop up storm days so far, but quite frankly, this is much closer to what is normal.
The alternative to pop up storms is 100° days with heat…

Hurricane #ERICK is in very rare territory. It's expected to make landfall in the Mexican state of Oaxaca Thursday morning as a major hurricane, only the second to ever do so.
It'll also likely be the 2nd-easternmost landfalling Pacific hurricane on record, only miles behind… pic.twitter.com/MtQ51qBMcW
