by the way, I checked on a place in Siberia...Morales says Siberia is much warmer than normal. Well, he said that on 12/28. Today is 12/29. The temp in Bratsk / Irkutsk was just above -6 F but the NORMAL was just above 0.
So I wonder, truly, if he has manipulated the map.
Perhaps I didn’t understand him, but sure seems like it looked like that part of Russia was colder than he asserted.
Not exactly balmy in the UK:
