“The freezing weather during the past fortnight has not translated to heavy snow across the Alps due to a lack of precipitation.”
In other news, water is wet because it is wet.
You want your planet to be in equilibrium.
When your planet is in equilibrium, some locations may see “unusual heat waves” while other locations may see “remarkable cold”.
This is good. It is to be expected.
But but but, what about the “climate change” emergency where we’re all gonna fry due to “global WARMING”????
It’s unusual weather so it must be Global Warming (we’re all gonna die).
How did this polar vortex travel all the way to Australia and miss Texas? Oh wait, that other pole.
Polar air mass, polar outbreak , who writes this crap ,LOL
Yeah, but is it the coldest “on record”? Cause if it aint “ on record” it doesn’t count.
So does all this coldness do anything to the “global warming “ numbers? Makes them uptrend I’ll bet.
Coldest years in decades on the West Coast too, but NASA insists it is the warmest. Are they lying?
:-)
Polar outbreak! All units be on the lookout!
Is Al Gore visiting Australia?
And if you sum up those numbers with the northern hemisphere’s “heat wave” (we used to call it summer before the weather channel) and divide by 2 you get...average temps for the planet...
March, April, May, and now June, have all had below average high temps for the month.
Our highest temp in 2024 has been 86 degrees, and that was recorded 100 feet from a concrete runway at SeaTac airport.
Curiously, for the last six months, there has been a powerful current of very warm Pacific Ocean water that begins off northeast Japan and flows east, straight at Washington state.
A couple hundred miles west of the Washington coast line, that high heat current runs into chilly ocean water and completely disappears.
The very warm water coming east from Japan is unlike anything I have seen before on the global ocean temp map.
Japan is completely surrounded by unusually warm water - the Yellow Sea, the Sea of Japan, and the Sea of Okhotsk, which borders Sakhalin Island.
Off the northeast coast of Japan, there are several thousand square miles of super heated surface water, 5 degrees F above normal.
The only thing I can think of that would cause those super high temps is undersea volcanic activity.
But, even though I read climate data every day, I have not seen anyone explain the hot ocean water off Japan, or the four months of cool temps in Seattle.
