Asia
Reports are filtering out of Russia and circling various media outlets about a new all-time record set at the Northern Hemisphere’s ‘Pole of Cold’. The small settlement known for extreme cold and the coldest inhabited place on the planet, Oymyakon, appears to have broken it’s old fierce cold record of -68C (-90.4F) set back on February 6, […]

The fierce cold which has dominated Asia all December has shifted with a split away from Kazakhstan and the heart of Russia. While a piece of the ‘coldest air on earth’ went west bringing the coldest air of the season to Moscow just before major warming is set to take place, the other piece headed east across Mongolia […]
In recent days, we have started to see more and more reports come out of Asia about how cold it has been. I have tried to show you what’s been going on there so you grasp what is going on globally and not just locally. The core of cold has been centred over the heart […]
Often when there’s unusual warmth in one part of the world, there is colder than normal in another. There’s no deneying the warmth over the US Lower 48 and to a lesser degree over the British Isles and Western Europe. For Western Europe, we have seen a turnaround following a cold first half of December. A […]
Not only has the cold been rapidly intensifying over the Northern Hemisphere’s key source region ‘Siberia’, it has been significantly expanding right across Northern Asia and now extending into Europe too. A similar rapid expanse of snow cover has been observed across Canada and Alaska with readings currently down to at least 51 below zero F in the Yukon. The […]
Haven’t looked at the Jamstec model in a while and thought i would put this up for you to see. Interesting to see it warm for much of Europe while the west and northwest remain colder than normal. This coincides nicely with my winter idea. The last time I looked at this, all of Europe was cold […]
The southern Japanese prefecture of Okinawa has been hammered once again by a 3rd major typhoon in less than 5 weeks and the latest packed a big punch to the southern half of the island which is home to the city of Naha where there was a lot of damage to windows, street lights and even cars […]
Today saw the 3RD MAJOR, 115+ mph, landfalling Typhoon cross the southern Japanese island of Okinawa. Yes, with each time the eye crossing right over the island. Just two weeks ago, an even stronger system than Jelawat, came ashore, it’s name was Sanba, remember my post? Pretty incredible stuff. As Jelawat slammed ashore early this morning, the […]
Jelawat has done what Sanba did recently, rapidly intensified, nearly doubling in strength within just 12 hours becoming a SUPER Typhoon over the warm waters of the Philippine Sea. Impress even more is the fact the the second straight super typhoon. This time around, 160 mph Super Typhoon Jelawat will continue it’s current northwesterly path but then will […]
