Has absolutely NOTHING to do with Alizee.

But if anyone here is good with weather or has learned about it help me.

Lately its been 105+ degrees here in sacramento california. Way too hot.
I was wondering if incredibly hot summers equals really cold winters. And why?

I'm no weather expert, but I can bet $10 the two don't correlate. If you have a hot summer, chances are it's gonna be a mild winter. Thats jsut from my experience.

Where I live, we always have summers that hot. Our winters barely drop below the mid-30s F. I doubt the two correlate, though.

It likely means that you're currently experiencing a high-pressure front. That basically means that a whole bunch of high-pressure air has moved into your city, raising the humidity and heat level. It is only a temporary thing; the front will pass over quite quickly. There are also low-pressure fronts, which are the opposite thing. The weather system is very complicated, but it all boils back down to l'alizé.

Global Warming's about extremes

- We had the coldest winter in decades, so I'm guessing this summer's gonna be a deadset stinker.

QFT.

No correlation, just universal importance of l'alizé.

I stand corrected.

Regional conditions can vary widely, but the average temperature of the earth as a whole does not vary much. The average has been rising in recent years, though. A change of a few degrees in the earth's average temperature can have profound effects on weather regionally.

My area has experienced heat above 90 and 100 degrees for 28 days straight. Lakes are drying up. Mandatory water restrictions are not fun.
