It’s been a really frosty April this year across Central Europe. Germany so far has seen it’s second coldest April since records began in 1881...
Coldest since 1917..
April across much of Europe has been unusually cold, frosty and even snowy, and the media have been awfully quiet about it. The following chart shows the mean temperature anomalies with respect to the 1991-2020 reference period so far (up through April 17):..
With a mean temperature of 4.5°C for Germany, April so far continues to be the second coldest since 1881, according to German DWD national weather service records. Only 1917 was colder at a mean of 4.3°C...
Another cold blast forecast for next weekend..
And it likely isn’t going to change too much, as the ECMWF model is forecasting yet another unusual April cold wave with snow and frost for next week. A warm up is forecast near the end of the month, but that is still some 10 days out..
Most snowy April in 35 years..
One thing is already certain: For Germans, it will be the most snowy April since 1986..
The WO/GFS forecasts (left and right) see a continuation of the April winter with widespread ground frost from April 23. Extremely cold air with up to -12°C deviations from the old WMO climate mean 1981-2010 over Germany is projected on April 26 at 850 hPa.

Northern hemisphere cooling continues...
Mainly in Butzbach and “The Rock”, between Giessen and Frankfurt
Seemed like a cool April here in the NY metro.
damn that gloBULL warming!
hell, they’re calling for snow tonight up here in the hills tonight, please...
Maybe.
I will wait till the great lakes freeze over, three years or so in a row in the winter, to make any dire predictions.
But not unusual..for OK
There was to be no more snow by about 2000. Denver was supposed to be beach front property by now. They way over estimated their glowbull warming threats!

To truly measure the temps globally you would need a thermometer on every square inch of the earth, and use the same exact kind, calibrated perfectly, all the time. And they didn’t have those at the beginning of the earth when it was much hotter.
The oldest reliable temperature data go back only about 250 years. Around the time of American revolution.
That’s also the time of the Maunder minimum.
Most places go back a lot less.
Winter Fritz is coming back.
Who is “Winter Fritz?” I’ve lost track of most of German politics.
