Antarctica endured its coldest-ever ‘coreless winter’ (April-Sept) in 2021, then shivered through practically all of 2022, posting colder-than-average month after colder-than-average month, including the coldest November since 1987 and the latest -60C (-76F) on record — with the year culminating in the South Pole Station averaging just -49.5C (-51.7F); -0.4C below the norm.
The historic chill has spilled into 2023, too.
Back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year; in July it logged Earth’s lowest temperature since 2017; and now, in mid-August, it’s breaking multiple all-time cold records at stations across the continent.
These include:
The -61.1C (-78F) at the Vito AWS, located on the Ross Ice Shelf, which broke its previous all-time minimum record of -60.6C (-77.1F) set in August 22, 2008; the -59.9C (75.8F) at Willie Field, located at Ross Island Vicinity, which bested the old benchmark of -56.9C (-70.4F) from August 7, 2001; and the -56.7C (70.1F) at Lorne, also sited on Ross Island, which felled the -54.9C (-66.8F) set on July 17, 2010.

It’s global warming, because cooling is warming. /s
It’s global warming, because cooling is warming. /s
If you boil water hot and long enough, it turns into ice. Tha science is settled.
So much for all that libtard global warming crap
Hey, Global Warming can also cause Global Freezing ... just ask John Kerry
Winter is cold, summer is hot, droughts come and go, climate and weather have a mind of their own. Climate changes without the help of people, ask a lunatic liberal what happened to the last ice age when there were no factories or cars around to cause the melt.
11-12 year Solar cycles drive Pacific Ocean circulation. They come in pairs, with even-numbered cycles being equatorial and odd-numbered cycles being polar. El Niños happen near the peaks of odd-numbered cycles.
El Niños happen when the two Pacific oceans stop turning outwardly, and compress to center circulation. The western hot water migrates back to the eastern equatorial Pacific.
We are nearing the peak of solar cycle 25 where we should see an El Niño. However, solar cycle 24 was so weak that the weakened pacific circulation allowed an El Niño to occur two years early.
The North Pacific circulation (PDO) slings kinks into our northern atmospheric jet stream, and causes North America’s cold fronts and monsoon rains. The current western drought is happening because of weakened North Pacific circulation, and ultimately because of weak solar output.
Climate Change is certainly a robust theory! ALL weather events are proof of it.
Agree 100%.
There are many variables affecting climate/weather.
CO2 is one of the least.
Climate History goes back to at best to the late 18the century only.
Maybe 250 years in few lucky places, mostly about 100 or 150 years back. Since the history is so short, the meaning of the historical extremes is almost nil. Just by pure statistics, we should have few historical extremes every year.
And, the way the measurements are done deflates their information content even more!
