In my recent 2 part video on the pros and cons of the upcoming winter, I discussed the connection between solar maximums and minimums and behavior of the Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation (AO/NAO). To reinforce my point, here’s a great chart I regrettably didn’t show on the video, it the latest solar cycle chart […]
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. https://twitter.com/LpdlcRamirez/status/1402761167848812547 https://twitter.com/MarkVogan/status/1403621760193466371 Recent weeks has seen waves of Antarctic cold spread […]
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. https://twitter.com/ScottDuncanWX/status/1396531742094368772 https://twitter.com/WeatherSarov1/status/1396094111661367302 https://twitter.com/therockyfiles/status/1395475183868203013 And Middle East https://twitter.com/extremetemps/status/1396068197829337088 […]
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.
