Nada. No climate change here. Zip. All is okay as usual, except for hurricanes and what not the next couple of months. As usual.
I see the horror stories from Europe and other parts north, and wonder.
I live at 18 degrees of north latitude. Well within the Tropics. We still have about two more hours of sun left today. It is 85 degrees with a light breeze right now. It was 85 for most of the afternoon. It is usually 85 here. In December or July. It's always been like that. Sometimes it creeps up into the low 90s, but when it deviates from the average 85 degrees, it is usually to the cooler side. 85 degrees. Year after year.
but if the Northern Hemisphere is burning up then at 18 degrees of north latitude everything should be boiling or bursting into flames ,LOL
My girlfriend’s family is at 7°N, same deal.
The day the climate stops changing will be a very bad day.
For over a decade, I lived in a small Ecuadorian village near the Equator. It was in the High Andes, at 8400 feet above sea level.
70s during the day, 50s at night all year round. And, the indigenous natives were very welcoming to ex-pats.
Only an adverse family situation made me return to the States from this paradise.
And after all the huffing and puffing about a heat wave in London it’s 68 degrees Fahrenheit right now.
Jeez
” but when it deviates from the average 85 degrees, it is usually to the cooler side. 85 degrees.”
If it usually dips to the cooler side of 85 then 85 is not the average.
THAT European heat wave was WEATHER, not climate.
I remember when I was in Germany in the Summer of 1995, over 100 degrees, no A/C anywhere. The next week it was back to the low 70s.
This happens in Europe once every ten years.
Ever see Last of the Summer Wine ? The good old days when the Brits were funny ,LOL
At any given moment, some area of the world is hotter/colder/drier/or receiving more rain and/or snow than “average”. In 1977, there was a day where snow was on the ground as far south as Tampa, for a 40 day period in winter it never got above freezing in the NYC area. That same year was one of the hottest summers on record in NY, for a couple of days temps as far north as the Catskills hit 100, which is unheard of.
There is only supposed to be climate change in polar latitudes where the air is so cold, the humidity freezes out. A very minor change in atmospheric patterns can easily cause 40 degree changes at the poles that fake scientists can hyperventilate about. Temperature can vary wildly in such climates as water vapor has a massive heat capacity compared to dry air so in the tropics there is a massive thermal inertia to the air that keeps the temperature relatively stable. That is why you can literally feel the temperature drop like a rock instantly when the sun sets in the desert especially in places that do not have granite or other rock that absorbs heat all day and radiates it at night. Also in the tropics, if it does start to get a little hotter, emergent phenomena happen such as increased evaporation from the ocean which transports massive heat to the stratosphere which radiates to space during thunderstorms
I watched Golf from Scotland today and it looked COLD
I loved that show.
If five out six days are 84 and one day is 90 the average is 85.
Welll its Summertime here in the Old South 93F and I am inside with the A/C so its nice ncool, unless dire need arises to actually venture outside before sundown!
What altitude, how far from sea? Cold ocean currents?
I would love to live in tropical highlands. Hummingbirds.
Higher latitudes are warming more than lower latitudes.
I would think that this results in less convection in the atmosphere and lessens the frequency and severity of tropical storms and hurricanes.
A big impact could be if the mid-latitude jet stream stays north of the Himalayas all year instead of being north in the summer and south in the winter. It’s a major bistable feature of the atmosphere and impacts Asian monsoons.
