This Swedish Town Just Had its Hottest January Day in 162 Years
The Local (Sweden) ^

Posted on 01/09/2020 5:54:08 PM PST by nickcarraway

The Swedish town of Örebro recorded the highest January temperature it had seen since 1858 on Wednesday.

The local weather station measured a temperature of 10.3C, which was later upgraded to 10.5C following a further check. Meteorologist Nitzan Cohen told SVT Örebro the figure was "remarkable".

Even still, the central southern town wasn't the warmest spot in the country on Wednesday.

Norrköping and Bromma in the Stockholm area both measured 10.5C, while further south in Gladhammar the mercury reached 10.7C. Several other spots topped 10C on Wednesday, including Harstena, Hudiksvall, Kuggören, Södertälje, Oskarshamn and Adelsö.

"It's very mild air but there hasn't been a national record," SMHI meteorlogist Ibrahim Al-Mausawe said. "The record for January is 12C."

That's in contrast to neighbouring Norway, which broke its record for the hottest January day not once but twice this week, reaching 19C.

Sweden has also had an unusually mild winter, which has led to a lack of snow in many parts of the country.

Instead, rain and cloud cover have made the season feel darker than normal so far, with much of Sweden on average getting only around 10-30 hours of sunlight in November.

In northern Sweden, the mild temperatures cause problems for reindeer herders. Alternating snow, thaw and rain create deep ground frost and the impenetrable ice which makes it hard for the reindeer to get to food.

I'm sure they are going to say this is climate change, but if it is, why was it hotter 162 years ago? They don't correct for natural fluctuations?

So, apparently, even 162 years ago, it was this hot in this one Swedish town.

“...highest January temperature since 1858...”

Are the people happy about this, or sad?

So what caused it to get so hot in 1858 - too many saunas?

Why not just enjoy a 50 degree day?
January weather generally sucks in northern latitudes.

Natural flatulations. There were more reindeer 162 years ago but they didn't account for the methane dome over the region. 🤣

Always remember, children, hot weather is climate, but cold weather is just weather.

Sweden’s more imminent problem would be it’s invasion by muslims and it’s soy boy cuckold men who allowed it to happen. I guess it’s easier to complain about the weather.

When it gets cold, we are told temperature is not climate. I see the reverse is not true, when it gets hot, it is climate, Now I understand.
