I think that was a relatively benign summer if I remember correctly. Not much in terms of extremes for heat/precip.

Maybe I'm thinking of 2011 when I thought he was suggesting a cold/wet summer. Did 2012 have any bad fires? Or was there a heavy monsoon season in June to keep them down?

Come to think of it, I think it was 2011 that was that San Francisco-ish summer I remember.

Fire season was surprisingly mundane considering how dry things were from mid July thru mid October. June2012 was extremely wet though, yes.
