Maybe a season is the reasonable minimum for climate.

The heat dome is weather and he's using one extreme weather phenomenon to make a point about this summer (climate). From your link:
In most places, weather can change from minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. Climate, however, is the average of weather over time and space. An easy way to remember the difference is that climate is what you expect, like a very hot summer, and weather is what you get, like a hot day with pop-up thunderstorms.
Enough (short-term) extreme weather events will make the longer-term (climate) more extreme as well since the latter is based on averages over time.

Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.

Edit: He's now in a better position to judge with two-thirds of the summer gone/done.

What climate change...?   Sure, parking will be tough, but the field is ready.
