After becoming a large and powerful Category 3 hurricane over the central Atlantic a week ago, Larry slammed ashore on Newfoundland’s SE coast early Saturday morning, September 11th. While weakening over cooler waters of the Northwest Atlantic and in a more hostile atmospheric environment, Larry still held onto full tropical characteristics as he slammed ashore […]
Sunday, June 27, 2021 was an historic day in Canadian weather history. It was the day that the community of Lytton in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley recorded 46.6C and surpasses the previous national record of 45.0C set way back in 1937 at Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan.
In my previous video I discussed the sharp drop in North Atlantic SSTA’s and many asked why this may be the case. In my opinion, there is no singular reason but a collection of several. Arctic sea ice melt (5th lowest for the time of year) Natural melt of ice/icebergs surrounding Greenland and Iceland Unusually […]
Antarctica is a typically cold place but the past couple of weeks has seen the entire continent shiver at 6 and 8C below average. This has offset building heat elsewhere across the planet and held the global temperature to average, even slightly below average. I agree with @peikko763 this is a wild pattern down there.According […]
When looking at today’s temperature anomaly chart for Earth, it’s safe to say there’s a lot more warm areas than cool. However looks can be deceiving, while you’d expect Antarctica to be cold, especially as we approach their winter solstice, the fact that the entire continent has been running 6 to 8C BELOW NORMAL is […]
Rich tropical moisture continues to sweep north into Texas and Louisiana only worsening the widespread flood situation. Many TX/LA cities are well above their normal rainfall for the whole of June and we’re only 5 days into the month. Surrounding the fire hose continuing to plague the S Plains, an unusually strong, drought enhanced hot […]
The all-time record heat that’s been achieved across the Russian Arctic this month has been very impressive. Overall we’ve seen the earliest 32C above the Arctic Circle and countless May all-time records set along with an ALL-TIME MAY RECORD FOR RUSSIA. Here are some of these impressive records. Russia 🇷🇺 has just broken its national […]
The La Nina came and the NET ocean heat content of earth’s oceans have cooled in the past 12 months. With this cooled, we have indeed seen the atmospheric feedback response with decline in the lower tropospheric temperature. Current SSTA’s globally. Change in last 7 days. Change in past 12 months. The atmosphere has responded […]
On March 24, 2021, Summit Station observed a (preliminary) temperature of -64.1C. This suggests a new record low for March at Summit, if not in all of Greenland and latest -60C also.
The La Nina test (and perhaps in the broader sense the solar minimum) may well have passed a ‘relatively short term’ test when it comes to global temperature over the last 12 months… Here’s the 1st of 2 excerpts from my 2020-21 winter forecast issued early December 2020 Big test coming up La Nina As […]
