That is cold for the middle of July.SW France, on July 9, it was 14 C in the morning.
In Western North Carolina, we had temps at night in the mid to low 50's F (approx 11.7 deg C or so) after the solstice and into end of June. This summer is much cooler then the past 3 or 4 summers.South-east South Carolina here, and I have lived in this area since the late 1980's - this is by far the coolest Summer I can ever recall. Every morning and evening is around 75F/23C, and during the day mid 80's, barely a few days in the 90's so far.
Oh my, another game changer in the wings.
At least in BC, this does not surprise me following the type of heat season currently being experienced. One may follow the other, and earlier as was suggested.The long-term forecasts of the #VórticePolar indicate that it can give surprises this winter, and perhaps earlier than normal. There is a long way to go to ensure, but it is something to watch out for ...
“SNOWSTORM IN AFRICA!” — SOUTH AFRICA SMASHES *AN ADDITIONAL* 19 ALL-TIME LOW TEMPERATURE RECORDS OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS
Following on from the record-smashing cold that infected Southern Africa on Thursday, the SA Weather Service (SAWS) has confirmed that a further 19 low temperature records were broken in the past 24 hours alone.
The service had warned that the country to brace for the coldest night of the year; however, it turned out to be the coldest night in recorded history for many locales, with records set 20, 40 and even 60+ years ago falling by the wayside.
“Snowstorm in Africa!” reads the below tweet from @sapeople, during the “#ColdestDayEver!”.
The video was shot on Uniondale road. The driver of the vehicle is heard calling the conditions “absolutely bizarre”. And he continues, saying: “I have never had to drive through a snowstorm in Africa before.”
These are truly unprecedented conditions for this part of the world.
And anthropogenic global warming (i.e. carbon dioxide emissions) has zip-all to do with it; no, the mechanism behind these polar outbreaks (and indeed the recent punishing heatwave in the Pacific Northwest) is the historically low solar activity we’re receiving–namely its impact on the jet streams.
Q: You also made a remark once that ice ages occur much, much faster than people ever thought...
A: Yes.
Q: Do we need to invest in some mukluks and snowshoes?
A: ??
Q: Well, what I am trying to get at is: should we start stockpiling firewood?
A: Maybe.
Q: So, it could be that fast?
A: Oh yes, and faster when in response to global"warming."
Q: When you put "warming" in quotes, you obviously mean warming in more than just an ordinary sense? Is that correct?
A: And/or not really "warm."
