Here's is something else interesting about the weather in Russia and elsewhere. Despite leading researcher saying that the causes are anthropogenic, what he says is still interesting, because he indicates that there is a clear increase of extreme weather events.

Andrei Kiselev, a leading researcher at the Voyeikov Main Geophysical Observatory in St. Petersburg, climatologist, told on the air of Radio “Komsomolskaya Pravda” what has been happening to the climate lately and why weather anomalies have become more frequent.

According to the expert, some time ago there appeared a capacious notion “the climate is nervous”. He pointed out that in this case two factors, namely spontaneous and natural, are added up. Statistics shows that there is a sharp increase in the frequency of weather and climatic phenomena, and this applies to droughts, heavy rains, wind loads and other phenomena that occur all together.

The specialist emphasized that this increase is very significant. According to the statistics of the world insurance agencies, their number has tripled over the last 45 years, and according to the statistics of Roshydromet, compared to the end of the last century, there are at least twice as many anomalies. He specified that we are talking about those cases that caused significant damage to people, the economy or both together.

Kiselev added that such a trend does exist, but each individual event is a localized phenomenon that is more related to some local peculiarities. Nevertheless, he said, the fact that it is happening more and more often is already an anthropogenic factor.

Winter has returned to Iceland!

Officially, summer should have already started in Iceland in late April - at least according to the old Icelandic calendar. But since the beginning of the week, a low-pressure front has brought back the Arctic winter in full force - in June.

Yesterday, Art and Alina travelled to Akureyri to witness an unusual summer storm that unexpectedly hit the North and East of Iceland, blanketing the landscapes with snow and ice just as they were eagerly awaiting summer.

  • At 20:51 UTC (4:51 PM EDT) on June 20, 2024, Earth will experience its annual moment of summer solstice: when the Earth’s north pole is maximally tipped toward the Sun. (Winter solstice for the southern hemisphere.)
  • The last time the solstice was this early in the year, George Washington was serving as the first President of the United States, and the year was 1796.
  • The solstice, on average, will continue getting earlier and earlier every 4 years until 2096, which will be the earliest solstice of the century. Then, that pattern will end. Here’s the science of why.
Ireland and uk are certainly quite cold for this time of the year -today current temp in London is 12 degrees and a cold wind - almost the same in Ireland 13 degrees currently with NNW winds 24 km/h

Remember the 2022-2023 ski season in North America? Of course you do. The endless powder days, Mammoth Mountain's absurd late-season campaign—it's pretty impossible to forget.

Now, South America is getting its own taste of what could become a mythically deep ski season.

PowderQuest, a guiding company that operates in South America, among other locales, reported yesterday that Ski Portillo, Chile, and Las Leñas, Argentina, had both delayed their official opening dates due to excessive snowfall causing road closures and high avalanche danger.


Thanks to the snowfall earlier this month, Portillo opened earlier than usual, offering skiing and riding on a weekends-only basis throughout June. They managed to open June 1st and June 2nd with stellar conditions, but the back-to-back storms prevented the rest of the pre-season dates.


Las Leñas early season plans were also sidelined. They intended to fire the lifts up today through Sunday for a pre-season launch. However, as the avalanche danger increased to extreme, they, too, had to push back their opening.

Nineteen feet (228 inches) of snow has fallen on Las Leñas' upper mountain so far this season. The ski area now plans to open on June 29th. At Portillo, the story's similar. They tentatively hope to reopen on June 26th and have received thirteen feet (156 inches) of snow since winter began.

Even more snow is expected over the next four days. Our friends at Powderchasers estimate that an additional 2-5 feet will fall across South America through the weekend.

"It's close to the best start we have ever seen in our 25 years guiding here," said PowderQuest's founder, David Owen. "With today's storm rolling in and the forecasted amounts of three to six feet, I'm pretty sure this will be breaking records for June at many ski areas in Chile and Argentina."

South America's ski season started strong in May when Patagonia saw record snowfall. Catedral Alta Patagonia, an Argentinian ski resort, took advantage of the powder and hosted a temporary pre-season opening from May 9th through May 11th, well in advance of its usual start date.

"Locals were calling it 'Magic May,'" said Owen. Then, June arrived, which, Owen explained, "has been non-stop for pretty much all ski areas down here."

Despite the delays at Las Leñas and Portillo, vibes are high. Owen, who's been in contact with his South American team, said, "Everyone is so pumped to have such an early start."

"Huge bases and deep powder is a dream for all of us. Hopefully it continues!" Owen added.
