ReplyDeleteGenerally you need a high pressure system in the summer to lock the heat in and prevent cold air from getting in from the north. Basically a heat wave that gets locked into place by high pressure. Because Cleveland is right on the lake it doesn't happen too often since there's nothing else to block the cold air coming in off the water. Air traveling over water is almost always cooler than air traveling over land.
