Hasn’t really been the case this year so far.

We're like... 6 days into July. The hottest period in CA weather is July-September. Somewhat early to call.

Plus, again, the rain and weather in winter and spring is record breakingly anomalous this year. So "this year so far" is not really a sane comparison.

The trend overall has been clear. Using this year is like when people say "we had record snowfall in upstate NY this year, so much for global warming, nyuk nyuk". It doesn't follow.
