Hot weather the last weeks !!!!

Here in Southeast lower Michigan, we've had several days with the temps reaching 100F/37C (or close to it). We have had little rain fall, all the grass is brown - our region is officially classified as being under a drought.

In the Middle East, they are also sweltering. On election day in Egypt, June 16-17, it was 116F/47C. Despite the heat, Egyptians turned out to vote and protest. Millions of them! I admire their determination.
 
Cold in Norway for the season, temperatures 10-15 degrees C, and snow records in the mountains, where there hasn't been as much snow for the last 40 years:

I think we have a two-degree increase the last 15 days in my place, it is hot at night and day!!! I´ve seen the relation between Solar Storm and hot weather here, it appears that the hot weather will stay forever!!
During the nights there are big electric storms everyday near from here we can see ray lights everywhere and thunder sounds but still hot….
The affectation in our minds is apparent my children and I are very altered because of the heat, There are more discussions between them lately like they are upset always so it have been affecting me too.... :huh: :scared:

Some places (like where I live as well) have never been so hot but others are going through a cooler than usual period. It's more than only solar storms.

The sun has an impact of course but we also have to consider the earth axis, orbit and other internal factors like the composition of the atmosphere and the heat distribution mechanism's dynamics (air/water currents for instance). Could be other things but that's what comes to my mind so far.

Axis seems to be slowly shifting position and that alone can provoke a major change in radiation balance (such as negative ie. cooling). If you combine an initial cooling with a solar minimum and consider all the added water vapor due to initial warming, you get massive snow falls in cooler reigions which can rapidly decrease the forcing of the earth thus leading to an ice age. All that much faster than thought.

An ice age could be 'triggered' this very century and judging from the ususual cold in Europe I bet it could hit there first and drift to North America.

If that happens, it'll be really ugly. And I feel like it will.
 
Here in the middle east it reached 50 degrees Celsius. Double that temperature and water boils!
The mainstream science is talking about global warming and we are talking about the ice-age. What I'm noticing is that the worlds summers and winters are getting harsher year by year. Summers are getting hotter and winters are getting colder. This reminded me of a program I saw on Discovery (if we had no moon), where they mentioned that temperatures on earth could swing hugely between very cold and very hot if the moon was gone. I just hope it doesn't get worse.
 
Looking at this month's temperatures in Sacramento, there seems to be an oscillation between cool-to-moderate and warm-to-hot. We have come out of "cool" again and are heading into "hot." I don't have the right kind of data at hand to verify anything, but it seems like this is a fairly normal pattern.

What was not normal was how cool it was at the start of summer. That was quite unusual, if not unprecedented. It has also been windy in May and June, which seems unusual to me for June, anyway. Again, I don't have data at hand with which to check. As long as we rely upon "impressions," there is much room for error.
 
A line from Kipling, "the 'eat would make your bloomin' eyebrows crawl."

Here in central plains US, the warm weather pattern that started last October drags on. A few days 100F, many 90s. Such a warm spring and early summer it seems like it should be early September by now.

There have been periods very dry, others very wet.

One interesting note. It is nearly July and I have yet to see a mosquito. Maybe the unusual warmth has somehow disrupted their cycle.

Wonder what Mother Nature is up to. :huh:

Here in Spain we have less flies than usually and the flies we have are very young, like baby flies. Usually this village is a "fly village". Huge amount of flies. Not this year. And also we had a early summer very cold. Now it is too hot. Is mother nature playing with us? ;)

I wish the mosquitos here had suffered that fate! They are numerous and voracious-I step outside for a moment in the evening without lighting the mosquito candles to cook on my grill and they just swarm to the feast! Gaagghhh!

I think nature has it's ways to restore balance. The STS 'Brotherhood' has created a lot of imbalance since the fall of Lucifer. Around 309 000 years later, here we are, facing the 'inevitable'.

Quick thought like this...
 
This week we had around 40 degrees Celsius of hot time but since 2 days... we have autumn days, not even spring but autumn! really cold that I light up my fireplace! The temperature today, this morning, is around 11 Celsius. So really, Ice Age is coming, for sure. This is very scary when you think of the consequences for everything specially for people who have vegetable gardens...
 
It's been REALLY cool early in the mornings for the last several days, here as well. Pretty strange.
 
Italy is suffering a heat wave here, 35 C. in the mid of the week, hit 40 yesterday, and quite a record for today's prediction: 42 C.!

But... storms and cold weather are coming down from the North right now.
 
In the last few days, it was extremely hot in North Carolina (east coast of US), and today it'll go up to 104 degrees F. People around here already losing electricity in their homes.

Just this past Friday, I was working and I had to use the company van to do my work at one of the buildings on campus - bad thing about the van was it didn't have an air conditioning - I was sweating as hell.
