 ECMWF SH 10-DAY TSNOW

 

4 December 2023

 

COP28 and the IPCC declared that 2023 is the warmest year in history.  Therefore developed countries must pay underdeveloped countries for CO2 damages from floods and droughts.  There are two questions that aren’t addressed first: what is the period of record for the temperature sample used and second: is this sample equally representative of urban (heat island) and rural areas? and similarly representative of polar and equatorial regions? There are many statistical and physical issues involved in such a declaration.

 

Another issue that is not well documented other than by consensus and climate models is the tenuous relationship between CO2 and future atmospheric temperatures.  Science is not run by consensus.  Numerical climate models fail to predict current weather let alone that in 2030.

 

Heavy Snowfall from Hawaii to the N American Coastal mountains to the Rockies, NE US and Europe dominated the extreme weather this week. These deep winter cyclones were in a strong meridional (wavy) jet stream that continued to control major weather events from Alaska to Norway and Siberia.  These waves produced deep storms over Alaska (973 mb) Hudson Bay (974 mb), N Atlantic 977 mb, and Kamchatka (947 mb).  Atmospheric Rivers ARs created by these storms have dumped significant precipitation along the west coast of North America (195 to 770 cm), Pacific NW (cm), Rockies (33-86cm), Greenland (82-228) cm), Iceland (18-192 cm), Norway (33-63 cm), European Alps (104-154 cm), Russia (45-283), Himalayas (72-160 cm)  and Japan-Kamchatka (30-166 cm).  A strong large upper level low is predicted to remain quasi-stationary and pull Arctic air into Europe next week as waves gyrate around the cold core.  This will agree with last week’s Tropical Tidbits cold temperature anomaly forecast of extreme cold next week (2-9 Dec 2023).

The Alps had heavy snow with > 1 m in many ski areas.  Kredarica (2815m) jumped to 180 cm - 80 cm above normal on 1 December.   The Alps should get another meter next week. Ski areas in the Alps have had the best start to ski season in memory!!  Eastern  Europe and Bavaria are having a major snow storm as a large deep cyclone spins over the region from the Atlantic to N Africa.  The UK had a yellow alarm with heavy snow in the midlands and -12º C temperatures.  Have a look at the Fall-Winter Album that documents the extreme events. see:

As the northern jet stream intensifies, Atmospheric Rivers dominate precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere from Alaska to Greenland and Europe.  These ARs are associated with intense cyclonic storms that dominate the weather.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  Atmospheric River forecasts quantify the model computations of moisture flux from surface to 700 mb.  This flux controls the duration and intensity of precipitation.  Recall last winter when California had a record number of intense ARs that filled the “1000 yr“  drought’s reservoirs and extended Mammoth Mountain’s ski season into August 2023.

Canadian Arctic Airmasses again stretched to the Gulf producing cold in the south with many cold temperature records broken.  Gulf States had heavy rain that is mitigating their drought.  Colorado had a strong NW flow from the Pacific NW AR that is dumping over 18 inches today at our home on the west side of the Divide.  Beaver Creek was forced to cancel World Cup races due to heavy snow and winds. This week another Canadian Arctic airmass reached the Gulf of Mexico and moved east.  Maine had a historically cold first half of November. The Lake Effect snows dumped up to 4 feet this week.

 

An important component of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced under stratus and in fog.   On a large scale differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.  NASA is now predicting a solar maximum of cycle 25 by January 2024 with some CMEs.  Note: current climate models fail to adequately simulate clouds; hence, a serious limit to their long term predictions.

 

Volcanic activity has increased dramatically in November 2023 with two stratovolcanoes pumping huge amounts of volcanic ash into the stratosphere in the northern Hemisphere from Kamchatka, and the tropics from New Guinea.  Iceland’s seismic activity also increased significantly.  These volcanoes cause significant atmospheric cooling.  During the Little Ice Age there were many volcanoes associated with the Milankovitch Cycle that also contributed to the cooling.

 

During the winter low clouds can keep the polar regions warmer, thus reducing the N-S temperature gradient that may lead to a weaker jet stream and a meridional flow.  This wavy N-S flow enhances the warm and cold sectors of storms and hence, extreme temperature swings. Thus far this fall we have a very wavy jet steam.  Have a look at my album examples.

 

This year’s El Niño does not have a strong presence in the atmospheric circulation.  Hence, my earlier expectations for a cold wet Rockies winter based on the El Nino have changed.  See the link below.  However, NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.  Thus far the Ontario-Hudson Bay 700 mb low is pulling cold air south into the East much like last winter.  The West and High Plains are on the western edge of the deep cold air: hence, they have brief cold blasts and may benefit from the Pacific ARs heavy snow; however, they will enjoy somewhat warmer winter temperatures than the NE.

 

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.  

 

Valentina Zharkova’s interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

Greenland’s daily SMB spiked above normal last month (+12 GT) a new record.  Yesterday, 26 Nov also set a daily record of 10 GT.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -35 to -48ºC.  Coastal storms and the AR pumped in significant snow 1-2 m onto the SE coastal mountains. The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively setting new records.  The accumulated SMB curve dropped to nomal this week and is now moving up.  see:

Northern Europe and eastern Russia were cold with a deep snowstorm in Eastern Europe. Siberia continued to cool as days become shorter and become snow covered leading to a record early total global snow cover. Record daily cold temperatures were observed in Eastern Siberia last week (-48ºC).  Russia is now 99% snow-covered. This will increase radiational cooling in this region that may lead to more Arctic blasts.  Kamchatka had 1-2 m of new snow in this week’s ECMWF forecast largely driven by another deep 960 mb storm in the NE Pacific.

The jet stream continues to intensify and move south with a sharp meridional - wavy N-S flow.   This pattern appeared to be a month early this season starting in October. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.

Japan and N Korea turned cold  with 30-199 cm of snow on the mountains of N Korea and Japan respectively with record cold.

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued to have notable snows (135-193 cm) near Mt Everest, with most other areas receiving 0 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling global weather patterns.  Its unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.  The Hindukusch are beginning to have significant snows of 50 to 150 cm this week.

Southern hemisphere jet continued to weaken. Yet, It is still driving several large deep storms (970 to 948 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic still has large areas in the interior below -35 to -45º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures,  On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. Last month a deep 936 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic had heavy precipitation (1-2 m) putting more water back on the land.  This area continues to get 30 to 140 cm.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 40 to 50 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice; however, the Ross Sea is beginning to open.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -19 to -25ºC setting records and grounding aircraft in September.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south. This week McMurdo rose to -3º C. The Antarctic set a November record cold of -60ºC.  South Georgia Island had snows reaching 80-100 cm this week.

 

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Antarctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow last month. Record snow fell in late October 2023.
 
AUSTRALIA had some Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (1-7 cm). These Antarctic highs set new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December 2022. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  This week large areas of eastern Australia continued to have heavy rain (104-202 mm). Alice Springs remained cool at 25 ºC.

 

Note: this year was the first since 1987 when  Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 0-52 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast 163-501 mm.  Note: October 25-30, 2023 when the interior of Australia had satellite surface temperatures from 10 to 31ºC - spring is here with a few cool highs !

 

 South America was warming.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (121-255 cm). South American snow is at record levels.  Patagonia had significant snows and skiing in the Andes continued in November 2023. Argentina and Brazil continue to warm,  yet, some Antarctic cold fronts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains (100-300 mm) in the South of Brazil by Iguazu Falls.  The Iguazu region continues to have major flooding in contrast to a record drought in the Amazon Basin.  However, the past weeks had heavy rain in the upper headwaters of the Rio Negro.  At the end of April 2022, a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina had significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record in 2023.

CURRENT EXTREMES:     3 DEC 2023

 

‘Canyon Of Fire’ Eruption, Multiple CMEs Headed Our Way; Anak Krakatau Erupts; Avalanche In Iran Kills 5; + Moscow Hit By Record-Breaking ‘Black Blizzard’
November 28, 2023 Cap Allon
‘Canyon Of Fire’ Eruption, Multiple CMEs Headed Our Way
A solar magnetic filament erupted on Nov 27th (~05:00 UT), carving a ‘canyon of fire’ in the sun’s atmosphere:
https://electroverse.info/multiple-cmes-headed-our-way-krakatau-erupts-avalanche-in-iran-moscow-black-blizzard/ 

The bulk of the CME storm cloud will likely pass south of Earth, mercifully.
However, a NASA model (shown below) suggests it will graze our planet’s magnetic field on Nov 30th, potentially sparking a G1-class geomagnetic storm.

Anak Krakatau Erupts
Mount Anak Krakatau, situated in the waters of the Sunda Strait, erupted on the afternoon of Nov 27, sending a plume of ash some 2,160 m (7,090 ft) above sea level.
That was the volcano’s second eruption of the day, with the first, as noted by the PVMBG, spewing ash some 1,660 m (5,450 ft) ASL.

Avalanche In Iran Kills 5
Heavy snow has hit the mountains of the Middle East in recent weeks.
An avalanche has killed five climbers and injured four others in western Iran, reported state-owned IRNA over the weekend.
Moscow Hit By Rare ‘Black Blizzard’
As reported yesterday, extreme blizzards tore through eastern Europe over the weekend knocking out the power to thousands upon thousands of cities, towns and villages from Lithuania through Ukraine all the way down to Bulgaria.
The early onset of winter persisted into Monday, too, and shifted further east into European Russia.
Moscow is going through its first major snow event far earlier than usual, reports the pressunited.com.

Europe Plunges To -34.5C (-30.1F) As Heavy November Snow Sweeps Britain To Bulgaria
Extraordinary November chills have been gripping Europe of late, with impressive early-season snow totals to match.
Starting with the cold, thermometers in the Finnish village of Tulppio crashed to -34.5C (-30.1F) this week.
While the daily max in Salla, a municipality in Finnish Lapland, failed to climb above -30C (22F) on Tuesday, reaching only -30.1C (22.2F) which proved record-breaking for the month of November.
https://electroverse.info/europe-freezes-record-coral-cover-strong-solar-storm-inbound/

 

Snow and ice warnings have even been issued across the UK, too, where the Met Office has braced Brits for “hazardous conditions”.
Temperatures dipped to -8C (18F) in Scotland and -6C (21F) in northern England overnight Tuesday, and snow has fallen across Scotland and east England, as far south as Norfolk. Rare November flurries are even forecast for the Southeast, including London.
That reading of -8C was the UK’s coldest November temperature in 13 years.

Out east, the situation is looking quite dire.

For the likes of Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria, in particular, tens of millions are still without power as historic blizzards continue to batter the region, as they have done since the weekend.
This is a reality even the corporate media has been forced to acknowledge, likely due to the mounting deaths in the area–which so far total at least ten in Ukraine alone.
Officials have given grim accounts of where the dead were found, reports CNN.
Interior Ministry spokesperson Maryana Reva said that snow drifts in some places had reached 2 meters high, with “all the deceased discovered on the streets,” she said Tuesday. “According to preliminary information, they died of hypothermia.”

One Of The Snowiest-Ever Novembers In The Alps; Record-Breaking Snow Pounds Moscow; Copenhagen’s Coldest November Night In 104 Years; + Freezing Lows Hit All 50 U.S. States
November 30, 2023 Cap Allon
One Of The Snowiest-Ever Novembers In The Alps
It may only be November, but ski resorts across the European Alps, such as Val Thorens, are saying that they’ve already received enough snow to see them through the entire season.
This week alone has seen accumulations exceed a meter (3.3 ft) on the high slopes, totals which follow the record-breaking falls that hit earlier in the month.
https://electroverse.info/snowiest-alps-record-snow-in-moscow-copenhagens-coldest-november-freezing-us/

Across the France, Austria, Italy and Switzerland, some 50 ski areas have already opened for the season, with approximately 100 more opening slopes this weekend — a host are opening early due to all the snowfall including Val Gardena in Italy:

 

The amount of terrain already open is exceptional for November, continues snow-forecast.com, with up to 150km (93 miles) of slopes ready to ski at Ishgl/Samnaun, Solden and Val Thorens alone, with Tignes already having 1,300m (4,300ft) of vertical skiable.

This is widely considered to be one of the best-ever starts to a ski season in the Alps, perhaps the best.

Record-Breaking Snow Pounds Moscow
Not to miss out on Europe’s historic November pounding, Moscow is also busting records.
Aided by the rare ‘black blizzards’ earlier in the week, the Russian capital is guaranteed to post at least its third-snowiest November in record history this month.
With accumulations totaling 24 cm (9.45 inches), only the Novembers of 1977 and 1985 exceed it (solar minimums of cycles 20 and 21, respectively).
“One can only sympathize with the city services: the calendar winter has not yet begun, but there is already a lot of snow to clear,” writes Tatyana Pozdnyakova, Chief Specialist of IA Meteonovosti (hmn.ru).
Another snowstorm rolled in during the early hours of November 30, reports Pozdnyakova in an update.
Copenhagen’s Coldest November Night In 104 Years
Northern Europe has been copping equally anomalous conditions this week, with records falling across Scandinavia.
On Wednesday, the Danish capital of Copenhagen endured its lowest November temperature in 104 years with a remarkable -7.7C (18.1F) posted at the city’s airport.
An ‘ice day’ was also declared nationally, the first in November since 1965, as the country suffered its coldest November reading in three decades, the -15C (5F) at Roskilde.
The cold is proving persistent, too, with Denmark suffering two sub -10C (14F) November nights in a row for the first time since 1988.

Freezing Lows Hit All 50 U.S. States
Every U.S. state reported freezing temperatures Wednesday morning with more than 200 million Americans suffering below-average temperatures.
Many of these temperature proved record-breaking, particularly across the east.

Antarctica’s Coldest November For 40-Years; Germany’s Unprecedented Autumnal Chills; Record Low Temperatures Sweep Japan; + Heavy Snow Hits Hawaii
December 1, 2023 Cap Allon
Antarctica’s Coldest November For 40-Years
The record cold posted by Antarctic for years now is persisting, intensifying even, and it remains a topic the alarmists tellingly steer well clear of.
Antarctica, home to 90% of Earth’s ice, is cooing — the data are clear on that.

Note: this link has a vast amount of Antarctic history and records….

Record Low Temperatures Hit Japan
Swatch of East Asia have been freezing of late, including Japan.
Sapporo, the capital city of Hokkaido Prefecture, shivered through its coldest November day in 36 years on Nov 30.
Temperatures on Thursday’s failed to rise above -3.2C in the city, making for its second-coldest November day in recorded history, bested only by Nov 28, 1987 (-4.7C).

Heavy Snow Hits Hawaii
“It’s a winter wonderland right now at the summits of the Big Island,” writes Matt Devitt, Chief Meteorologist at @WINKNews.
A Kona Low has been hammering the island chain over the last 24 hours, dropping enormous amounts snow on the peaks.
Mauna Kea has seen a half a foot of snow to date, and counting.
Heavy snow was also hitting Hawaii January, February, March and April this year (2023), forcing the closure of a number of roads and the rolling out of snowplows.

 

CURRENT EXTREMES:     20 Nov 2023
 
Electroverse provides detailed descriptions of global extreme weather that may be linked to the Grand Solar Minimum each day.  You can check weather extremes AND IMPACTS this week:  

 

Fukuoka, Japan Records Earliest Snow In 40 Years; Blizzards Kill 2 In Bulgaria; California Logs A Foot; Anchorage Breaks November Snowfall Record; + WaPo On Damage Limitation
November 20, 2023 Cap Allon
Fukuoka, Japan Sees Earliest Snow Since In 40-Years
On Sunday, November 19, Fukuoka Prefecture, on the northern shore of Japan’s Kyushu Island, posted early snowfall.
https://electroverse.info/fukuoka-early-snow-bulgaria-blizzards-ca-logs-a-foot-anchorage-record-wapo-cringe/ 

The record cold and snow noted in Eastern Asia over the past few weeks –namely in Northeast China, Mongolia and Eastern Siberia– has since traversed the Sea of Japan to deliver the north of the country some exceptionally early flurries.
The city of Fukuoka has posted its earliest snow since November 1983, according to the Japanese Meteorological Agency. And ooking ahead, there’s much more where that came from, and for the majority of Japan, too:
Blizzards Kill 2 In Bulgaria. Plunging temperatures, strong winds and heavy rain/snow hit large parts of Bulgaria on Sunday causing severe damage, disrupting power supplies, and claiming the lives of at least two people.
Eastern Bulgaria was hit hardest, with residents saying they had never before endured such extreme weather.
The snow is spreading further east into the likes of Western/Central Asia, from Iraq to northern India.
See the latest GFS run below–and also note the impressive totals expected over central Russia (Siberia):

California Logs A Foot
Heavy snow clipped California’s higher elevations over the weekend, with more than a foot accumulating on the mountains.
Along the California-Nevada border, an early winter storm brought a foot of snow to Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, another 7 inches to Mammoth Mountain ski base, and 4 inches to Palisades. Flakes also settled below 5,000ft (1,500m) at the NWS office in Reno.
Anchorage Breaks November Snowfall Record
Anchorage, Alaska has set as new November snowfall record, breaking the 38.8 inches set in 1994.
The benchmark was busted on Friday, with snow that took this month’s totals to an unprecedented 39.1 inches:
WaPo On Damage limitation
2022 Nobel prize winner John Clauser is giving the AGW Party a real headache.
Clauser bragged that he met privately with President Biden in the Oval Office last year, when the 2022 Nobel Prize winners were invited to the White House, goes Joselow’s hit piece. He said he criticized Biden’s climate and energy policies, to which he said the president replied: “Sounds like right-wing science.”

Antarctic Sea Ice Shows Miraculous Recovery; Study: CO2 Uptake By Plants Increasing; Klyuchevskoy Released A Huge Volume Of Ash; + Big Sunspot Alert
November 21, 2023 Cap Allon
Antarctic Sea Ice Shows Miraculous Recovery
Alarmist media outlets painted recent Antarctic sea ice readings as an unmitigated disaster and, in turn, the placard-brandishing, paint-tossing lost sheep among us ramped-up their disruptive efforts…
https://electroverse.info/antarctic-sea-ice-recovery-co2-uptake-increasing-klyuchevskoy-ash-big-sunspot-alert/ 

Study: CO2 Uptake By Plants Increasing, Vegetation Also Up
According to a new study, by the end of the century plants will have absorbed 20% more carbon dioxide than originally predicted, which even some mainstream outlets admit: “climate models are overestimating how fast the planet will warm”.
Trinity College Dublin said that its research, published in the journal Science Advances, painted an “uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet” after finding climate models had failed to take into account all the elements of photosynthesis.

Klyuchevskoy Released A Huge Volume Of Ash
Mother Earth is more than capable of regulating herself; no human intervention required.
Klyuchevskoy, an active stratovolcano in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, has been continually erupting since mid-June.
However, on November 1, a huge explosion fired volcanic ash some 40,000 feet (12 km) into the atmosphere, according to NASA’s Earth Observatory, creating a could measuring 1,000-miles-long (1,600 km).

 

According to a recently published study, led by Scotland’s University of St Andrews, historical high latitude volcanic eruptions caused dramatic global cooling.
The paper, entitled “High sensitivity of summer temperatures to stratospheric sulfur loading from volcanoes in the Northern Hemisphere” was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on November 6.
The results, correlated with tree-ring data, reveal that the largest historical cooling periods were due to volcanic eruptions at high latitudes. They also show that the amount of sulfate injected into the stratosphere by these eruption events may have been around half that previously estimated, suggesting that temperatures may be more sensitive to high latitude volcanic eruptions than previously thought.

Arctic Sea Ice Is Doing Just Fine; Polar Outbreaks To Engulf America And Europe; Wall Street Quietly Cashes Out As ‘Climate Investments’ Tank; + Electroverse On Lockdown
November 22, 2023 Cap Allon
Arctic Sea Ice Is Doing Just Fine
From Antarctica, to Greenland, to the Arctic, global ice is doing just fine.
“There is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” said Al Gore in 2009.
https://electroverse.info/arctic-ice-just-fine-outbreaks-in-america-and-europe-climate-ventures-tank-electroverse/ 

Clear to see, Arctic sea ice extent is currently riding above the 2011-2020 average and fast-approaching the 2001-2010 average. In fact, at 10.019 million km2, today’s extent is higher than it was on the same date back in 2009 when Gore made his prophesy:

From polar bears, to the Great Barrier Reef, to hurricanes, to snowfall, to climate-related deaths, everything the climate cabal touches winds-up disproving their theory.

Polar Outbreaks To Engulf America And Europe
The models seem pretty confident here: brutal Arctic cold is set to crash south into both North America and Europe.
Starting with the Lower 48, this Friday (Nov 24) will see ‘blues’ and ‘purples’ descend down from Canada and engulf the majority of the country by Sunday, dropping temperatures by as much as -20C below the seasonal average:

Australian Heat Overcooked
Much is being made of the heat and wildfires in Perth.
The hyperbole and propaganda is hypnotizing, as are the licking flames and swirling embers:

Ulawun Volcano Erupts To 50,000ft
Ulawun volcano exploded in spectacular fashion Monday, with a repeat eruption noted Tuesday.
Mount Ulawun, located on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea, erupted at around 3:30 PM local time Monday, firing volcanic ash as high as 50,000 feet (15km), according to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center in Darwin, Australia.
Papua New Guinea’s Geohazards Management Division said Ulawun’s volcanic activity is expected to continue indefinitely, and raised the volcano’s risk level to the highest stage: four — the volcano likely isn’t done yet and is capable of powerful VEI 4s.
Rabaul Volcano Observatory (RVO) said activity at Ulawun was intensifying in the lead-up to Monday’s blasts.

Heavy Snow Pounds Eastern Europe, Much More To Come
Following a three-day snowfall event, Russia’s Volga region has been buried under a foot of snow — abnormally high totals for November.
The November norm for the city of Ulyanovsk–for example–is 8 cm (3.15 inches) but, and with a week of the month left to run, 24 cm (9.45 inches) of snow has already been documented.
Likewise in Izhevsk, the capital of the Udmurtia Republic, snowdrifts are “a month ahead of the calendar,” reports gismeteo.ru.
Looking ahead, “prolonged and heavy snowfalls will not stop in the coming days,” so states hmn.ru, speaking to Izhevsk. “In connection with this, there is another transport collapse in the city.”

Precipitation Data Refutes “Experts” Climate Crisis Claims
The alarmists’ narrative: Wet regions will get wetter, and dry will get drier. They argue burning fossil fuels is warming the planet and increasing evaporation: More water vapor causes more floods; more evaporation also dries the land causing more drought.
However, the scientific data paint an entirely different picture — as explains ecologist Jim Steele in a lengthy X post:
Kazemzadeh (2021), using satellite data, determined that 88% of the earth’s surface shows no trends in precipitation.
(So, no warming effect?)

More Record Gains On Greenland; Europe’s Heavy November Snow Causes Chaos; Deadly Winter Storm Sweeps US: Topeka Sees Heaviest November Snow In 135-Years; + CME Watch

More Record Gains On Greenland
Here we go again…
Record-breaking Surface Mass Balance (SMB) gains met by a silent partisan media. Despite the ladles of doom, Greenland is continuing the trend of the past decade — of increasing mass.
Rivaling the record-smashing surface mass balance (SMB) gains in October –which should have seen the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) employ a bigger chart, but what a PR nightmare that would have been– the Greenland ice sheet was at it again over the weekend, posting record gains for the time of year in DMI books dating back to 1982.
Deadly Winter Storm Sweeps US: Topeka Sees Heaviest November Snow In 135-Years
Sunday was the busiest day for Thanksgiving travel, and across the Midwest and around the Great Lakes it proved extra stressful as as a winter storm system swept through the region, dropping heavy blowing snow.
This comes after the Plains states were slammed over the holiday weekend, reports Fox Weather, resulting in the deaths of at least three people in central Nebraska.
According to Nebraska State Police (NSP), two people were killed in a crash on Interstate 80 near mile marker 184 on Friday afternoon. A few hours later, NSP said a man was killed in a separate crash on I-80 near mile marker 211.
In neighboring Kansas, the snowfall proved record-breaking.
Wichita broke its daily snowfall record after picking up almost 8 inches, with Saturday also going down as the city’s second-snowiest November day since record-keeping began back in 1888.
Ski resorts across the Alps are seeing their best start to a season in decades with meters of snow already registered; a snowy Mount Etna spews lava; while rescue efforts and deaths have been reported across the likes of Moldova and Bulgaria.

 

Over the weekend, at least three people died as plunging temperatures, heavy snowfall and strong blizzards continued to lash eastern European countries, conditions that cut power, burst pipes and forced closures of a host of national roads.
Thousands upon thousands of cities, towns and villages were left without electricity on Sunday as Europe’s first major Arctic Outbreak of the season traversed the Baltic sea to engulf the likes of Lithuania and Poland, sinking south into Ukraine, down to Romania and Moldova, and even prompting an emergency declaration in the Black Sea-neighboring Bulgaria.
In Romania, red weather warnings were issued across at least four of the country’s eastern counties.
Sebastian Burduja, the Romanian minister of energy, said more than 400 localities had suffered electrical outages due to the heavy snowfall, with emergency authorities saying that many national and local roads have been closed.
Romanian firefighters battled the extreme weather to clear trees from snow-covered roads.
While in neighboring Bulgaria, winter storms delivered similarly rare conditions for November: blizzards and record-challenging low temperatures that prompted the government to declare a state of emergency across large swaths of the country.
More than 1,000 settlements, mostly in Bulgaria’s northeast, were left without electricity, said prime minister Nikolay Denkov.

Europe’s Best Start To A Ski Season In Memory
Countering mainstream groupthink, reality is once again slapping climate alarmism square in the chops.
Recently, ski resorts from the French Alps right the way down to the Italian Dolomites have been reporting more than 3 feet of fresh powder, resulting in a historically-early start to the the European ski season.
Absurd notions that Europe’s favorite winter pastime is a thing of the past have taken a hit after temperatures across the region fell off a cliff in November, back to “a crisp 1990s sort of climate,” reports goodnewsnetwork.org.
In many parts parts of the Alps, snow totals have actually exceeded 6 feet which has led big-name resorts in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria bringing their opening dates of the 2023-24 season forward by at least a week, to November 18.

Maine’s Historically Cold First Half Of November
The first half of November has been one of the chilliest-ever across New England states, such as Maine.

Global Volcanic Uptick And The Potential Implications: New Study Shows How Historical Eruptions Triggered Global Cooling

Global Volcanic Uptick
News of volcanoes popping off/threatening to pop off are doing the mainstream rounds this week, and while it makes for good ‘clicks’ I am not yet seeing anything overly concerning–over localized hazards that is, in Iceland most notably.
Residents of Iceland’s southwestern town of Grindavik have briefly been allowed back to their homes to collect belongings due to a hush in seismicity. Despite the reprieve however, a volcanic eruption is still expected, warn officials.
https://www.patreon.com/posts/global-volcanic-92858847?utm_medium=post_notification_email&utm_campaign=patron_engagement&utm_source=post_link 

Volcanologists say that a 15km-long (9 mile) river of magma running under the Reykjanes Peninsula is very active. Latest updates could indicate a smaller impending eruption than was previously thought, but one that would still put the town in real danger.

 

Nobel Prize Winner Slams Climate Alarm; Forecasts Hint At Thanksgiving Arctic Blast; + Solar Activity Remains In The Gutter

Nobel Prize Winner Slams Climate Alarm
At a Deposit of Faith Coalition press conference held on November 14, 2023, Nobel laureate John Clauser discussed the significant methodological errors in climate change data collected by the UN’s IPCC (and more).
In a video of the talk, uploaded by the Church Militant YouTube channel, Dr Clauser starts: “As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is NOT in peril. … atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.”
https://electroverse.info/nobel-prize-winner-slams-climate-alarm-thanksgiving-arctic-blast-sun-hush/

Dr Clauser concludes that cloud-cover reflectivity is our planet’s dominant climate forcing, not CO2 concentrations.
“I can very confidently assert, there is no climate emergency”.
But that’s not to say everything is rosy. We do face serious problems, contends Clauser, problems he outlines in his final slide:

Here are three short articles published in 2020 on the now censored electroverse.net…

CO2 Levels Were 400+PPM In The 1940s
Outspoken Ph.D. Physical Scientist Ned Nikolov has raised an important question: Can we trust NOAA’s Mauna Loa CO2 readings (aka the Keeling Curve)?
https://electroverse.info/co2-400ppm-in-the-1940s-cloud-albedo-controls-earths-climate-wikipedia-deletes/

Cloud-Albedo Controls Earth’s Climate, Not CO2
Continuing with the work of Ned Nikolov, Ph.D., he and his team claim to have found the first robust evidence that decadal variations of Earth’s climate are driven by changes in cloud albedo, rather than CO2.
Nikolov is preparing a paper on his findings now, but has recently given a few tantalizing teasers on Twitter — one of which suggests that albedo variations are likely forced by the Sun’s magnetic activity.
Nikolov and his team “tested the hypothesis that global temperature variations over recent decades were caused by fluctuations in global cloud cover … [We have] developed a new analytic albedo-temperature model … [which] predicts departures of the global near-surface temperature from a long-term baseline as a function of Earth’s albedo deviations from a baseline reflective.”
 Wikipedia Deletes “List Of Scientists Who Disagree With The Scientific Consensus On Global Warming”

27 NOVEMBER 2023

Deep winter cyclones dominated the weather from the N Pacific to the N Atlantic and Siberia.  These were in a strong meridional (wavy) jet stream that continued to control major weather events from Alaska to Norway and Siberia.  These waves produced deep storms over Alaska (973 mb) Hudson Bay (974 mb), N Atlantic 951 mb, and Kamchatka (947 mb).  Atmospheric Rivers ARs created by these storms have dumped significant precipitation along the west coast of North America (274 to 451 cm), Pacific NW (13-47cm), Rockies (15-58cm), Greenland (97-223 cm), Iceland (54-104 cm), Norway (88-159 cm), European Alps (51-175 cm), Russia (45-283), Himalayas (72-160 cm)  and Japan-Kamchatka (87-256 cm).  The deep N Atlantic low moved SE across Scandinavia into western Russia where it is predicted to remain quasi-stationary and pull Arctic air into Europe next week.  This will agree with last week’s forecast of extreme cold next week.

The windy.com wave map shows the deep storms:

see:  https://www.windy.com/-Waves-waves?waves,67.842,-1.230,3,i:pressure

The Alps had heavy snow with > 1 m in many ski areas.
Kredarica (2815m) melted back to (40 cm).   The Alps should get 26 to 145 cm next week. Ski areas in the Alps have had the best start to ski season in memory!!  Eastern  Europe is having a major snow storm as a large deep cyclone (979 mb) sits north of the Ukraine, which now has heavy snow. This is the deep 951 mb storm that was over the N Atlantic north of Iceland on November 22th.

As the northern jet stream intensifies, Atmospheric Rivers dominate precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere from Alaska to Greenland and Europe.  These ARs are associated with intense cyclonic storms that dominate the weather.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  Atmospheric River forecasts quantify the model computations of moisture flux from surface to 700 mb.  This flux controls the duration and intensity of precipitation.  Recall last winter when California had a record number of intense ARs that filled the “1000 yr“  drought’s reservoirs and extended Mammoth Mountain’s ski season into August 2023.

Atmospheric River forecast by Marty Ralph’s team:
https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/iwv-and-ivt-forecasts/

A Canadian Arctic Airmass again stretched to the Gulf producing cold in the south with many cold temperature records broken in the Halloween storm.  Colorado had an upslope storm with snow and our home on the west side of the Divide had its first 11 inch snowfall.  Last week Halloween lived up to its reputation with 24 inches in 24 hours at Aspen, and 18-20 inches at many ski areas.  Denver area even had a foot of snow.  Many cold records fell from Montana to Georgia. This week another Canadian Arctic airmass reached the Gulf of Mexico and moved east.  Maine has historically cold first half of November.

An important component of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced under stratus and in fog.   On a large scale differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.  NASA is now predicting a solar maximum of cycle 25 by January 2024 with some CMEs.

Volcanic activity has increased dramatically in November 2023 with two stratovolcanoes pumping huge amounts of volcanic ash into the stratosphere in the northern Hemisphere from Kamchatka, and the tropics from New Guinea.  Iceland’s seismic activity also increased significantly.  These volcanoes cause significant atmospheric cooling.  During the Little Ice Age there were many volcanoes associated with the Milankovitch Cycle that also contributed to the cooling.

During the winter low clouds can keep the polar regions warmer, thus reducing the N-S temperature gradient that may lead to a weaker jet stream and a meridional flow.  This wavy N-S flow enhances the warm and cold sectors of storms and hence extreme temperature swings. thus far this fall we have very wavy jet steam.  Have a look at my album examples.

The El Niño does not have a strong presence in the atmospheric circulation.  Hence, my earlier expectations for a cold wet Rockies winter based on the El Nino have changed.  See the link below.  NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.  Thus far the Ontario-Hudson Bay 700 mb low is pulling cold air south into the East.  The West and High Plains are on the western edge of the deep cold air, hence, they have brief cold blasts

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB spiked above normal last month (+12 GT) a new record.  Yesterday, 26 Nov also set a daily record of 10 GT.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -35 to -48ºC.  Coastal storms and the AR pumped in significant snow 1-2 m onto the SE coastal mountains. The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively setting new records.  The accumulated SMB curve dropped to nomal this week and is now moving up.  see:

Northern Europe and eastern Russia were cold with a deep snowstorm in Eastern Europe. Siberia continued to cool as days become shorter and become snow covered leading to a record early total global snow cover. Record cold temperatures were observed in Eastern Siberia last week (-43ºC).  Russia is now 90% snow-covered. This will increase radiational cooling in this region that may lead to Arctic blasts.  Kamchatka had 1-2 m of new snow in this week’s ECMWF forecast largely driven by a deep 947 mb storm in the NE Pacific.

The jet stream continues to intensify and move south with a sharp meridional - wavy flow.   This pattern appeared to be a month early this season starting in October. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.

Valentina Zharkova’s interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

Japan and N Korea turned cold  with 30-199 cm on the mountains of N Korea and Japan respectively.

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued to have notable snows (134-160 cm) near Mt Everest, with most other areas receiving 0 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling global weather patterns.  Its unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.  The Hindukusch are beginning to have significant snows of 50 to 150 cm.

Southern hemisphere jet continued to weaken. Yet, It is still driving several large deep storms (962 to 954 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic still has large areas in the interior below -35 to -45º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures,  On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. Last month a deep 936 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic had heavy precipitation (1-2 m) putting more water back on the land.  This area continues to get 30 to 140 cm.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 40 to 50 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice; however, the Ross Sea is beginning to open.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -19 to -25ºC setting records and grounding aircraft in September.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south. The Antarctic set a November record cold of -60ºC.  South Georgia Island had snows reaching 80-113 cm this week.

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Antarctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow last month. Record snow fell in late October 2023.
 
AUSTRALIA had some Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (1-7 cm). These Antarctic highs set new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December 2022. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 1032 mb high combined with a 948 mb low to produce a strong flow from the SE carrying cool Antarctic air into SE Australia in September. This week large areas of eastern Australia continued to have heavy rain (122-210 mm).

Note: this year was the first since 1987 when  Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 13-41 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast 120-150 mm.  Note: October 25-30 the interior of Australia had satellite surface temperatures from 10 to 31ºC - spring is here with a few cool highs !

 South America was warming.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (242-325 cm). South American snow is at record levels.  Patagonia had significant snows and skiing in the Andes continued in November 2023.  Argentina and Brazil continue to warm,  yet, some Antarctic cold fronts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains (100-300 mm) in the South of Brazil by Iguazu Falls.  The Iguazu region continues to have major flooding in contrast to a record drought in the Amazon Basin.  However, the past week had heavy rain in the upper headwaters of the Rio Negro.  At the end of April 2022, a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina had significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record in 2023.

The record cold and snow noted in Eastern Asia over the past few weeks –namely in Northeast China, Mongolia and Eastern Siberia– has since traversed the Sea of Japan to deliver the north of the country some exceptionally early flurries.
The city of Fukuoka has posted its earliest snow since November 1983, according to the Japanese Meteorological Agency. And looking ahead, there’s much more where that came from, and for the majority of Japan, too:
Blizzards Kill 2 In Bulgaria
Plunging temperatures, strong winds and heavy rain/snow hit large parts of Bulgaria on Sunday causing severe damage, disrupting power supplies, and claiming the lives of at least two people.
Eastern Bulgaria was hit hardest, with residents saying they had never before endured such extreme weather.
The snow is spreading further east into the likes of Western/Central Asia, from Iraq to northern India.
See the latest GFS run below–and also note the impressive totals expected over central Russia (Siberia):


California Logs A Foot
Heavy snow clipped California’s higher elevations over the weekend, with more than a foot accumulating on the mountains.
Along the California-Nevada border, an early winter storm brought a foot of snow to Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, another 7 inches to Mammoth Mountain ski base, and 4 inches to Palisades. Flakes also settled below 5,000ft (1,500m) at the NWS office in Reno.
Anchorage Breaks November Snowfall Record
Anchorage, Alaska has set as new November snowfall record, breaking the 38.8 inches set in 1994.
The benchmark was busted on Friday, with snow that took this month’s totals to an unprecedented 39.1 inches:

Antarctic Sea Ice Shows Miraculous Recovery
Alarmist media outlets painted recent Antarctic sea ice readings as an unmitigated disaster and, in turn, the placard-brandishing, paint-tossing lost sheep among us ramped-up their disruptive efforts…

Study: CO2 Uptake By Plants Increasing, Vegetation Also Up
According to a new study, by the end of the century plants will have absorbed 20% more carbon dioxide than originally predicted, which even some mainstream outlets admit: “climate models are overestimating how fast the planet will warm”.
Trinity College Dublin said that its research, published in the journal Science Advances, painted an “uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet” after finding climate models had failed to take into account all the elements of photosynthesis.

Klyuchevskoy Released A Huge Volume Of Ash
Mother Earth is more than capable of regulating herself; no human intervention required.
Klyuchevskoy, an active stratovolcano in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, has been continually erupting since mid-June.
However, on November 1, a huge explosion fired volcanic ash some 40,000 feet (12 km) into the atmosphere, according to NASA’s Earth Observatory, creating a could measuring 1,000-miles-long (1,600 km).

According to a recently published study, led by Scotland’s University of St Andrews, historical high latitude volcanic eruptions caused dramatic global cooling.
The paper, entitled “High sensitivity of summer temperatures to stratospheric sulfur loading from volcanoes in the Northern Hemisphere” was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on November 6.
The results, correlated with tree-ring data, reveal that the largest historical cooling periods were due to volcanic eruptions at high latitudes. They also show that the amount of sulfate injected into the stratosphere by these eruption events may have been around half that previously estimated, suggesting that temperatures may be more sensitive to high latitude volcanic eruptions than previously thought.

Arctic Sea Ice Is Doing Just Fine; Polar Outbreaks To Engulf America And Europe; Wall Street Quietly Cashes Out As ‘Climate Investments’ Tank; + Electroverse On Lockdown

Arctic Sea Ice Is Doing Just Fine
From Antarctica, to Greenland, to the Arctic, global ice is doing just fine.
“There is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” said Al Gore in 2009.
https://electroverse.info/arctic-ice-just-fine-outbreaks-in-america-and-europe-climate-ventures-tank-electroverse/

Clear to see, Arctic sea ice extent is currently riding above the 2011-2020 average and fast-approaching the 2001-2010 average. In fact, at 10.019 million km2, today’s extent is higher than it was on the same date back in 2009 when Gore made his prophesy:

From polar bears, to the Great Barrier Reef, to hurricanes, to snowfall, to climate-related deaths, everything the climate cabal touches winds-up disproving their theory.

Polar Outbreaks To Engulf America And Europe
The models seem pretty confident here: brutal Arctic cold is set to crash south into both North America and Europe.
Starting with the Lower 48, this Friday (Nov 24) will see ‘blues’ and ‘purples’ descend down from Canada and engulf the majority of the country by Sunday, dropping temperatures by as much as -20C below the seasonal average:

Australian Heat Overcooked
Much is being made of the heat and wildfires in Perth.
The hyperbole and propaganda is hypnotizing, as are the licking flames and swirling embers:
In Perth, Australia, intense heat is smashing November records - and Perth was issued the 1st "extremely severe" heatwave in its history Undoubtedly the first of many How long before Perth becomes uninhabitable? Very few Australian politicians or Media seem to care

Ulawun Volcano Erupts To 50,000ft
Ulawun volcano exploded in spectacular fashion Monday, with a repeat eruption noted Tuesday.
Mount Ulawun, located on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea, erupted at around 3:30 PM local time Monday, firing volcanic ash as high as 50,000 feet (15km), according to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center in Darwin, Australia.
Papua New Guinea’s Geohazards Management Division said Ulawun’s volcanic activity is expected to continue indefinitely, and raised the volcano’s risk level to the highest stage: four — the volcano likely isn’t done yet and is capable of powerful VEI 4s.
Rabaul Volcano Observatory (RVO) said activity at Ulawun was intensifying in the lead-up to Monday’s blasts.

Heavy Snow Pounds Eastern Europe, Much More To Come
Following a three-day snowfall event, Russia’s Volga region has been buried under a foot of snow — abnormally high totals for November.
The November norm for the city of Ulyanovsk–for example–is 8 cm (3.15 inches) but, and with a week of the month left to run, 24 cm (9.45 inches) of snow has already been documented.
Likewise in Izhevsk, the capital of the Udmurtia Republic, snowdrifts are “a month ahead of the calendar,” reports gismeteo.ru.
Looking ahead, “prolonged and heavy snowfalls will not stop in the coming days,” so states hmn.ru, speaking to Izhevsk. “In connection with this, there is another transport collapse in the city.”
https://electroverse.info/heavy-snow-europe-lackluster-el-nino-data-refutes-climate-crisis-claims-cme/ 

Precipitation Data Refutes “Experts” Climate Crisis Claims
The alarmists’ narrative: Wet regions will get wetter, and dry will get drier. They argue burning fossil fuels is warming the planet and increasing evaporation: More water vapor causes more floods; more evaporation also dries the land causing more drought.
However, the scientific data paint an entirely different picture — as explains ecologist Jim Steele in a lengthy X post:
Kazemzadeh (2021), using satellite data, determined that 88% of the earth’s surface shows no trends in precipitation.
(So, no warming effect?)

More Record Gains On Greenland; Europe’s Heavy November Snow Causes Chaos; Deadly Winter Storm Sweeps US: Topeka Sees Heaviest November Snow In 135-Years; + CME Watch

More Record Gains On Greenland
Here we go again…
Record-breaking Surface Mass Balance (SMB) gains met by a silent partisan media. Despite the ladles of doom, Greenland is continuing the trend of the past decade — of increasing mass.
Rivaling the record-smashing surface mass balance (SMB) gains in October –which should have seen the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) employ a bigger chart, but what a PR nightmare that would have been– the Greenland ice sheet was at it again over the weekend, posting record gains for the time of year in DMI books dating back to 1982.

Deadly Winter Storm Sweeps US: Topeka Sees Heaviest November Snow In 135-Years
Sunday was the busiest day for Thanksgiving travel, and across the Midwest and around the Great Lakes it proved extra stressful as as a winter storm system swept through the region, dropping heavy blowing snow.
This comes after the Plains states were slammed over the holiday weekend, reports Fox Weather, resulting in the deaths of at least three people in central Nebraska.
According to Nebraska State Police (NSP), two people were killed in a crash on Interstate 80 near mile marker 184 on Friday afternoon. A few hours later, NSP said a man was killed in a separate crash on I-80 near mile marker 211.
In neighboring Kansas, the snowfall proved record-breaking.
Wichita broke its daily snowfall record after picking up almost 8 inches, with Saturday also going down as the city’s second-snowiest November day since record-keeping began back in 1888.

Ski resorts across the Alps are seeing their best start to a season in decades with meters of snow already registered; a snowy Mount Etna spews lava; while rescue efforts and deaths have been reported across the likes of Moldova and Bulgaria.

Over the weekend, at least three people died as plunging temperatures, heavy snowfall and strong blizzards continued to lash eastern European countries, conditions that cut power, burst pipes and forced closures of a host of national roads.
Thousands upon thousands of cities, towns and villages were left without electricity on Sunday as Europe’s first major Arctic Outbreak of the season traversed the Baltic sea to engulf the likes of Lithuania and Poland, sinking south into Ukraine, down to Romania and Moldova, and even prompting an emergency declaration in the Black Sea-neighboring Bulgaria.
In Romania, red weather warnings were issued across at least four of the country’s eastern counties.
Sebastian Burduja, the Romanian minister of energy, said more than 400 localities had suffered electrical outages due to the heavy snowfall, with emergency authorities saying that many national and local roads have been closed.
Romanian firefighters battled the extreme weather to clear trees from snow-covered roads.
While in neighboring Bulgaria, winter storms delivered similarly rare conditions for November: blizzards and record-challenging low temperatures that prompted the government to declare a state of emergency across large swaths of the country.
More than 1,000 settlements, mostly in Bulgaria’s northeast, were left without electricity, said prime minister Nikolay Denkov.

Europe’s Best Start To A Ski Season In Memory
Countering mainstream groupthink, reality is once again slapping climate alarmism square in the chops.
Recently, ski resorts from the French Alps right the way down to the Italian Dolomites have been reporting more than 3 feet of fresh powder, resulting in a historically-early start to the the European ski season.
Absurd notions that Europe’s favorite winter pastime is a thing of the past have taken a hit after temperatures across the region fell off a cliff in November, back to “a crisp 1990s sort of climate,” reports goodnewsnetwork.org.
In many parts parts of the Alps, snow totals have actually exceeded 6 feet which has led big-name resorts in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria bringing their opening dates of the 2023-24 season forward by at least a week, to November 18.

Global Volcanic Uptick
News of volcanoes popping off/threatening to pop off are doing the mainstream rounds this week, and while it makes for good ‘clicks’ I am not yet seeing anything overly concerning–over localized hazards that is, in Iceland most notably.
Residents of Iceland’s southwestern town of Grindavik have briefly been allowed back to their homes to collect belongings due to a hush in seismicity. Despite the reprieve however, a volcanic eruption is still expected, warn officials.
https://www.patreon.com/posts/global-volcanic-92858847?utm_medium=post_notification_email&utm_campaign=patron_engagement&utm_source=post_link

Volcanologists say that a 15km-long (9 mile) river of magma running under the Reykjanes Peninsula is very active. Latest updates could indicate a smaller impending eruption than was previously thought, but one that would still put the town in real danger.

Nobel Prize Winner Slams Climate Alarm
At a Deposit of Faith Coalition press conference held on November 14, 2023, Nobel laureate John Clauser discussed the significant methodological errors in climate change data collected by the UN’s IPCC (and more).
In a video of the talk, uploaded by the Church Militant YouTube channel, Dr Clauser starts: “As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is NOT in peril. … atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.”
https://electroverse.info/nobel-prize-winner-slams-climate-alarm-thanksgiving-arctic-blast-sun-hush/ 

Dr Clauser concludes that cloud-cover reflectivity is our planet’s dominant climate forcing, not CO2 concentrations.
“I can very confidently assert, there is no climate emergency”.
But that’s not to say everything is rosy. We do face serious problems, contends Clauser, problems he outlines in his final slide:

CO2 Levels Were 400+PPM In The 1940s
Outspoken Ph.D. Physical Scientist Ned Nikolov has raised an important question: Can we trust NOAA’s Mauna Loa CO2 readings (aka the Keeling Curve)?
https://electroverse.info/co2-400ppm-in-the-1940s-cloud-albedo-controls-earths-climate-wikipedia-deletes/

Cloud-Albedo Controls Earth’s Climate, Not CO2
Continuing with the work of Ned Nikolov, Ph.D., he and his team claim to have found the first robust evidence that decadal variations of Earth’s climate are driven by changes in cloud albedo, rather than CO2.
Nikolov is preparing a paper on his findings now, but has recently given a few tantalizing teasers on Twitter — one of which suggests that albedo variations are likely forced by the Sun’s magnetic activity.
Nikolov and his team “tested the hypothesis that global temperature variations over recent decades were caused by fluctuations in global cloud cover … [We have] developed a new analytic albedo-temperature model … [which] predicts departures of the global near-surface temperature from a long-term baseline as a function of Earth’s albedo deviations from a baseline reflective.”

20 NOVEMBER 2023

The meridional (wavy) jet stream continued to control major weather events from Alaska to Norway and Siberia.  These waves produced deep storms over Alaska (973 mb) Hudson Bay (986 mb), N Atlantic 977 mb, and Kamchatka (991 mb).  Atmospheric Rivers ARs created by these storms have dumped significant precipitation along the west coast of North America (173 to 314 cm), Pacific NW (25-121cm), Rockies (20-44cm), Greenland (137-218 cm), Iceland (35-135 cm), Norway (21-50 cm), European Alps (88-137cm), Russia (98-229), Himalayas (125-194 cm)  and Japan-Kamchatka (20-163 cm).

The windy.com wave map shows the deep storms:

The Alps had heavy snow with > 1 m in many ski areas.
Kredarica (2815m) had light snow (45 cm).   The Alps should get 26 to 107 cm next week. Ski areas in the Alps have best start to ski season in memory!!

As the northern jet stream intensifies, Atmospheric Rivers dominate precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere from Alaska to Greenland and Europe.  These ARs are associated with intense cyclonic storms that dominate the weather.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  Atmospheric River forecasts quantify the model computations of moisture flux from surface to 700 mb.  This flux controls the duration and intensity of precipitation.  Recall last winter when California had a record number of intense ARs that filled the “1000 yr“  drought’s reservoirs and extended Mammoth Mountain’s ski season into August 2023.

Atmospheric River forecast by Marty Ralph’s team:

A Canadian Arctic Airmass again stretched to the Gulf producing cold in the south with many cold temperature records broken in the Halloween storm.  Colorado had an upslope storm with snow and our home on the west side of the Divide had its first 11 inch snowfall.  Last week Halloween lived up to its reputation with 24 inches in 24 hours at Aspen, and 18-20 inches at many ski areas.  Denver area even had a foot of snow.  Many cold records fell from Montana to Georgia. This week another Canadian Arctic airmass reached the Gulf of Mexico and moved east.  Maine has historically cold first half of November.

An important component of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced under stratus and in fog.   On a large scale differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.  NASA is now predicting a solar maximum of cycle 25 by January 2024 with some CMEs.  

During the winter low clouds can keep the polar regions warmer, thus reducing the N-S temperature gradient that may lead to a weaker jet stream and a meridional flow.  This wavy N-S flow enhances the warm and cold sectors of storms and hence extreme temperature swings. thus far this fall we have very wavy jet steam.  Have a look at my album examples.

The strong El Niño continues in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.  NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB spiked above normal last month (+12 GT) a new record.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -35 to -48ºC.  Coastal storms and the AR pumped in significant snow 1-2 m onto the SE coastal mountains. The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively setting new records.  The accumulated SMB curve reached last year’s record this week.  see:

Northern Europe and eastern Russia were cooled by a series of storms that moved into central Siberia.  Siberia continued to cool as days become shorter and become snow covered leading to a record early total global snow cover. Record cold temperatures were observed in Eastern Siberia last week.  Russia is now 90% snow-covered. This will increase radiational cooling in this region that may lead to Arctic blasts.  Kamchatka had 1-2 m of new snow in this week’s ECMWF forecast largely driven by a deep 974 mb storm in the NE Pacific.

The jet stream continues to intensify and move south with a meridional - wavy flow.   This pattern appeared to be a month early this season. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.

Valentina Zharkova’s interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

Japan and N Korea are enjoying a normal FALL with 28-83 cm on the mountains of Japan and N Korea.

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (125-194 cm) near Mt Everest, with most other areas receiving 0 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling global weather patterns.  Its unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.  The Hindukusch are beginning to have significant snows 0f 50 to 150 cm.

Southern hemisphere jet continued began to weaken. Yet, It is still driving several large deep storms (962 to 954 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic still has large areas in the interior below -35 to -45º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures,  On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. Last month a deep 936 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic had heavy precipitation (1-2 m) putting more water back on the land.  This area continues to get 30 to 100 cm.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 40 to 50 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -19 to -25ºC setting records and grounding aircraft in September.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south. The Antarctic set a November record cold of -60ºC.  South Georgia Island had snows reaching 57-149 cm this week.

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Antarctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow last month. Record snow fell in late October 2023.
 
AUSTRALIA had some Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (1-7 cm). These Antarctic highs set new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December 2022. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 1032 mb high combined with a 948 mb low to produce a strong flow from the SE carrying cool Antarctic air into SE Australia in September. This week large areas of eastern Australia had heavy rain (170-286 mm).

Note: this year was the first since 1987 when  Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 13-41 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast 120-150 mm.  Note: October 25-30 the interior of Australia had satellite surface temperatures from 10 to 31ºC - spring is here with a few cool highs !

 South America was warming.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (242-325 cm). South American snow is at record levels.  Patagonia had significant snows and skiing in the Andes continued in November 2023.  Argentina and Brazil continue to warm,  yet, some Antarctic cold highs have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains (100-300 mm) in the South of Brazil by Iguazu Falls.  The Iguazu region continues to have major flooding in contrast to a record drought in the Amazon Basin.  At the end of April 2022, a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.

Europe’s Best Start To A Ski Season In Memory
Countering mainstream groupthink, reality is once again slapping climate alarmism square in the chops.
Recently, ski resorts from the French Alps right the way down to the Italian Dolomites have been reporting more than 3 feet of fresh powder, resulting in a historically-early start to the the European ski season.
Absurd notions that Europe’s favorite winter pastime is a thing of the past have taken a hit after temperatures across the region fell off a cliff in November, back to “a crisp 1990s sort of climate,” reports goodnewsnetwork.org.
In many parts parts of the Alps, snow totals have actually exceeded 6 feet which has led big-name resorts in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria bringing their opening dates of the 2023-24 season forward by at least a week, to November 18.

Maine’s Historically Cold First Half Of November
The first half of November has been one of the chilliest-ever across New England states, such as Maine.
Looking to the past 30-years of climate data, first half of November 2023 (1st – 15th) has come out as the second-coldest at 38.2F:

Global Volcanic Uptick
News of volcanoes popping off/threatening to pop off are doing the mainstream rounds this week, and while it makes for good ‘clicks’ I am not yet seeing anything overly concerning–over localized hazards that is, in Iceland most notably.
Residents of Iceland’s southwestern town of Grindavik have briefly been allowed back to their homes to collect belongings due to a hush in seismicity. Despite the reprieve however, a volcanic eruption is still expected, warn officials.

Volcanologists say that a 15km-long (9 mile) river of magma running under the Reykjanes Peninsula is very active. Latest updates could indicate a smaller impending eruption than was previously thought, but one that would still put the town in real danger.

Nobel Prize Winner Slams Climate Alarm; Forecasts Hint At Thanksgiving Arctic Blast; + Solar Activity Remains In The Gutter

Nobel Prize Winner Slams Climate Alarm
At a Deposit of Faith Coalition press conference held on November 14, 2023, Nobel laureate John Clauser discussed the significant methodological errors in climate change data collected by the UN’s IPCC (and more).
In a video of the talk, uploaded by the Church Militant YouTube channel, Dr Clauser starts: “As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is NOT in peril. … atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.”
https://electroverse.info/nobel-prize-winner-slams-climate-alarm-thanksgiving-arctic-blast-sun-hush/ 

Dr Clauser concludes that cloud-cover reflectivity is our planet’s dominant climate forcing, not CO2 concentrations.
“I can very confidently assert, there is no climate emergency”.
But that’s not to say everything is rosy. We do face serious problems, contends Clauser, problems he outlines in his final slide:

Here are three short articles published in 2020 on the now censored electroverse.net…

CO2 Levels Were 400+PPM In The 1940s
Outspoken Ph.D. Physical Scientist Ned Nikolov has raised an important question: Can we trust NOAA’s Mauna Loa CO2 readings (aka the Keeling Curve)?
https://electroverse.info/co2-400ppm-in-the-1940s-cloud-albedo-controls-earths-climate-wikipedia-deletes/

Cloud-Albedo Controls Earth’s Climate, Not CO2
Continuing with the work of Ned Nikolov, Ph.D., he and his team claim to have found the first robust evidence that decadal variations of Earth’s climate are driven by changes in cloud albedo, rather than CO2.
Nikolov is preparing a paper on his findings now, but has recently given a few tantalizing teasers on Twitter — one of which suggests that albedo variations are likely forced by the Sun’s magnetic activity.
Nikolov and his team “tested the hypothesis that global temperature variations over recent decades were caused by fluctuations in global cloud cover … [We have] developed a new analytic albedo-temperature model … [which] predicts departures of the global near-surface temperature from a long-term baseline as a function of Earth’s albedo deviations from a baseline reflective.”

Unusual summer chills have been gripping Western Europe over the past 7-10 days. Spain and Portugal have witnessed a drastic cool down, with even rare summer frosts suffered in the highlands.
Remarkable minimums for the time of year have been registered, including yesterday’s 4C (39.2F) at Burgos; the 10C (50F) at Bilbao Airport; the 10.5C (50.9F) at Granada; the 9.7C (49.5F) at Beja and the 2.3C (36.1F) at Xinzo de Limia.
Contrastingly, we note the anomalous heat simultaneously sweeping more central regions of the continent.

China changed its heating rules as the cold wave approached, bringing forward the date at which residents are permitted to heat their homes.

As occurred last year, cold and snow is disrupting the seasonal migration of herders across the likes of northern China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. Last November, the coldest temperatures since the 1980s killed herders in NW China’s Xinjiang region. Hundreds of cattle and sheep also froze to death as blizzards and temperatures down to a record-breaking -48.6C (-55.5F) descended from the north.

This season is playing out similarly.
On Monday (Nov 6), at least eight herders were killed in central Mongolia due to fierce, early-season blizzards, the country’s National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has said.
Icy roads and poor visibility have also led to disruptions.
Snow and blizzards swept the western provinces of Zavkhan and Uvs, and also the central parts of the country including the national capital Ulaanbaatar as well as the provinces of Arkhangai, Uvurkhangai, Tuv and Bulgan, reports news.mn.
Note: ECMWF and GFS models predicted very cold conditions in this region last week.
Heavy And Record-Breaking Snow Pounds China
Trains and buses have been cancelled and schools have been shut across northern China as the country’s first substantial snowstorm of the season hits. Its weather service said the cold front is expected to deliver record-breaking snowfall.
Major highways across northeastern cities such as Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, are closed, and flights are canceled, China’s state broadcaster CCTV said.Schools have also been shut across multiple provinces, including Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning where heavy snowstorms and freezing lows are forecast to continue for a number of days.
China’s National Meteorological Center expects the snowfall to “breakthrough the historical records”.
As a result, authorities have issued a rare ‘orange’ weather alert.
 Anchorage Blanketed In White
Anchorage also saw its first sizable snowfall Sunday through Monday, with more than 6 inches falling on Nov 5 alone.
According to the National Weather Service, those 6+ inches made for the city’s highest-ever snowfall total on Nov 5, comfortably besting the previous record of 3.8 inches set back in 1964.

New Study: Antarctica Has Cooled More Than 1C Since 1999
Significant 21st century cooling in the Central Pacific, Eastern Pacific, and nearly all of Antarctica “implies substantial uncertainties in future temperature projections of

As reported by notrickszone.com, new research indicates West Antarctica’s mean annual surface temperatures cooled by more than -1.8C from 1999-2018. The cooling was most prominent during spring, with the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) cooling at a rate of -1.84C per decade.

A Meter Of Early-Season Snow Hits The Alps
This week has seen tremendous snow pound the European Alps. “It is looking good,” reports of planetski.eu.
Totals have comfortably exceeded a meter (3.3 feet) in some parts, with the ‘freezing level’ dropping down to 1,500m.
The northern French Alps copped healthy totals, such as the resorts of Tgnes, Le Arcs, La Rosiere and Chamonix; while over the western Swiss Alps, Glacier 3000 and Verbier posted incredible early-season numbers, as did Courmayeur and La Thuile in northwest Italy.
https://electroverse.info/snow-hits-the-alps-russia-under-snow-chinas-record-blizzards-flakes-to-america/ 

A host of European resorts have already opened their slopes: 2 in Finland, 1 in Norway, 7 in Austria, 3 in Italy, and 3 in Switzerland. Additional ski areas are due to open this weekend, including Switzerland’s Verbier (on Fri, Nov 10).
Operators in France are also preparing for early openings on the back a rise in inquiries following the heavy snow.
“I’m very excited to see this much snow already, and more to come in the forecast,” said Zac Brown of Ski France.
“Sales last week were the best of the year so far, so it certainly seems as if the talk of snow has got our customers excited too.
“Let’s hope it’s the start of a fantastic season to come.”
The french resorts of Val Thorens and Tignes are now preparing to open ASAP.
90% Of Russia Under Snow
According to the scientific director of Russia’s Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, snow is blanketing 90% of Russia.
All of Siberia and the south of the Urals are covered in snow, including Transbaikalia; in the Khabarovsk Territory and Primorye, and average of 20cm (8 inches) has settled there; while cover of up to 8 cm lies in Sakhalin.
Flakes Return To North America
A pair of winter storms will bring snow to two separate portions the U.S. Wednesday and into Thursday — the Northeast and the Colordao Rockies, with Alaska and Canada also copping healthy totals.
The likes of upstate New York and northern New England will be hit late Wednesday and lasting into early Thursday, with cities such as Burlington, Manchester and Portland among the locations to receive potentially disruptive totals.
Another snow event is on the way for Colorado, including the Denver metro area which, just last week, suffered one of its biggest October snow storms in recent memory after a foot settled in some parts.

Low Temperature Records Continue To Fall, As Does The Snow
The past 24-hours have delivered additional headaches to the jittery, coffee-spitting “look, the weather is killing us!” climate brigade, as the United States felled hundreds-more low temperature records.
From California to Pennsylvania, daily records have fallen (between 10:00 Nov 1 – 09:00 Nov 2 UTC):
https://electroverse.info/record-cold-and-snow-africa-polar-blast-antarctica-rare-november-cold-ev-fail-solar-filament-inbound/ 

Many-a snowfall benchmark has been busted, too.
Michigan, for example, posted a myriad of new snowfall records this week, such as in Muskegon, which saw 8.8″ (some reports say 10″); in Flint, which registered 1.1″; in Saginaw with its 0.5″; and also Detroit with 0.2″ — all new records.
In fact, that Muskegon record was a biggie, and led to two additional records falling, and all.
18 inches clipped the North Dakota town of Lankin. Other double digit totals were noted in Washburn and Harvey (14 inches) as well as Minot and Williston (11 inches). Further east, Leeds reported 8 inches and Larimore and Grafton saw 8.5 inches.
Record low temperatures then swept the snow-covered areas, holding daily highs below freezing for days.
Southern Africa Hit With Polar Blast
A late season polar blast has gripped Southern Africa of late, where temperatures in some areas plunged 20C in 24 hours.
The mountains of Lesotho are freezing and rare snow is falling. Likewise, parts of the Eastern Cape, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal awoke to breathtaking scenes as their gardens matched the snow-tipped peaks of distant mountains.
Barkley East, Elliot, and parts of Matatiele, south of the Drakensberg, have been turned into a winter wonderland, reports news24.com. Snow has capped the Sneeuberg, Winterberg and the Drakensberg mountains, and all.
The SA Weather Service said other parts of the country that experienced snowfalls were the eastern parts of the Free State and mountainous parts of KwaZulu-Natal.

Antarctica Suffers Rare November Cold (-60.4C)
October was anomalously-cold month across Antarctica, with averages ranging from -1C to -1.9C below the multidecadal norm.
The freeze has now spilled into November, too.
On Nov 1, the French–Italian research facility Concordia posted a low of -60.4C (-76.7F), which isn’t far off the station’s record monthly minimum of -62.2C (-79.9F), set on Nov 2, 2006

Antarctica is cooling, the data are clear.
EV Fail
It’s been a crushing week for the EV industry as the bad news that has been brewing for months was laid bare in the quarterly reports, writes Jo Nova.
Volkswagen admitted orders are down a shocking 50% and they are sacking 2,000 jobs in the software division.
Toyota’s chairman and former CEO, Akio Toyoda, told reporters at an auto show in Japan this week that waning demand for electric vehicles is a sign that people are waking up to the reality that EVs aren’t the silver bullet against the supposed ills of carbon emissions they’re often made out to be.

Record Cold And Snow Already Sweeping U.S.
Both daily as well as monthly cold records fell over the weekend, particularly across the NW. From Washington to Wisconsin, hundreds of benchmarks have been busted, including a host of monthly lows for The Evergreen State as well as Oregon.
The first polar outbreak of the season went and dropped heavy snow, too, most notably to North Dakota where a record total accumulated at the state capital.
https://electroverse.info/halloween-arctic-blast-approaches-low-temperature-records-broken/ 

Switching focus to Colorado, one of the biggest October snow storms in recent memory dropped a foot in some parts of the Denver metro area. The official 6.5 inches logged at the airport makes this one of the snowiest Octobers on record.
Higher totals were posted elsewhere across the area, including the 10.4 inches at Aurora, and the 10.6 inches at Castle Pines.
The deepest snow was reserved for the high country where many areas measured more than foot (16 inches at Breckenridge). That is a rare amount of October snow even for the mountains.
All the fresh powder made for good conditions at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area which became the first ski area in Colorado to open (on Saturday).
Shifting north, the mercury has already dropped to record lows in parts of Montana, with some areas posting sub-zero (F) readings. Dropping below 0 in the depths of winter isn’t all-that that unusual, but in October it most certainly is.
With a thick (record-breaking) blanket of snow on the ground, the stage was set for a high pressure will move in and allow the mercury to fall to record/near lows in the 0s and -0s, even into the -10s (so around -24C).
The snow was also impressive.
“Montana never disappoints.”
104-Year-Old Low Temperature Record Broken In B.C.
Records have already been falling north of the border, too, across British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Starting in B.C., the first significant cold snap of the season broken temperature records across the province.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the mercury dropped to -8.6C (16.5F) in Merritt late last week, breaking the previous Oct 26 low record for the city that had stood since 1919.
Low temperature records were also felled at Burns Lake, with its -15.4C (4F) besting the old record of -10.6C (12.9F) set in 1971; in Smithers, with its -10.7C (12.7F) breaking the -8.9C (16F) set in 1969; in the coastal Bella Bella, with the -4.2C (24.4F) annihilating the old record of -0.6C (30.9F) from 2008; Port Hardy’s -4C (24.8F) beat 1970’s -2.2C (28F); and Squamish’s -2.5C (27.5F) pipped the -1.9C (28.6F) set in 2020.

Records have also been broken in Saskatchewan.

Like the now stonewalled scares of extinct polar bears and an ice-free Arctic, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has gone the same way. MSM-peddled doomsday predictions have once again been proven pitifully inaccurate (yet we still can’t question them).
The record-breaking growth reported in 2021-22 has been sustained in the latest annual period (to May 2023). The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) recently reported that regional average hard coral cover in 2022-2023 was similar to last year.
No bleaching, no cyclones hitting the reef, no crown-of thorns starfish attacks — an alarmists worth nightmare: no alarm.

Nils-Axel Mörner is the former head of the paleogeophysics and geodynamics department at Stockholm University. He retired in 2005 and since has dedicated his days to disproving the IPPC’s thermageddon nonsense while also warning of a coming Grand Solar Minimum.  Between 1997-2003, Mörner chaired an INTAS project on Geomagnetism & Climate — a project concluding that by the middle of the 21st century the Sun would be in a new solar minimum and Little Ice Age climatic conditions would prevail on Earth.
These conclusions were quite straightforward, writes Mörner, and were included in a Special Issue of PRP:

Another 9Gts was picked up Thursday.
Then 8Gts Friday.
These are astonishing gains of early-season snow, which practically buried the southeast section of the island; gains that have pushed the season’s accumulated SMB well-above the 1981-2010 mean (bottom panel below) to rival last year’s record readings:

One final point: The legacy media routinely parrots NOAA’s claim that these new high temperature records are based upon data extending back to 1895. In general, this is not true, notes Dr Spencer. Most of these station records don’t go back nearly that far. For the Phoenix Sky Harbor location, for example, the data starts in 1933. A few of 2023’s other “record hot cities” start dates are Miami, FL (1948), Houston, TX (1931), and Mobile, AL (1948).
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so — this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.

13 NOVEMBER 2023

China and Mongolia suffered extreme arctic cold and snow storms that have killed livestock and people.  These record storms kept people inside and restricted travel on blocked roads this week.

France continues to recover from > 1,000,000 homes without power, floods and wind destruction. Slovenia also rebuilds its roads that were washed out, saturated ground continued to result in debris flows on steep slopes damaging homes and blocking roads. The region is subject to more damage from any heavy rains.  Clear skies with warm temperatures are needed; however, the winter jet stream pattern appears to persist with deep storms and atmospheric rivers ARs traveling around the N Hemisphere with brief relief between storms.   We had a beautiful blue sky afternoon on November 11th.

Storm Debi is the next strong Atmospheric River that will move into the UK from Scotland to southern England. The ECMWF model also predicted this storm on 12 Nov. for 13 Nov.  

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings#?date=2023-11-13&id=0927f461-b5cc-4bbf-8f64-04383cf830f2

The windy.com wave map shows the deep storms:

see:  https://www.windy.com/-Waves-waves?waves,67.842,-1.230,3,i:pressure

The Alps had heavy snow with > 1 m in many ski areas.
Kredarica (2815m) had light snow (55 cm).   The Alps should get 50 to 140 cm next week.

the ECMWF model continued to predict heavy snow (2-5 m)  on the SE coast of Greenland, as the Atlantic storm continued to pump moisture from the SE into Greenland.  The AR forecast showed a weak persistent flow from the UK to
GL.  The Danish Arctic Research team continued to track the Greenland Snow Mass Balance SMB above normal at record accumulation levels since 1 September.  

As the northern jet stream intensifies, Atmospheric Rivers dominate precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere from Alaska to Greenland and Europe.  These ARs are associated with intense cyclonic storms that dominate the weather.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  Atmospheric River forecasts quantify the model computations of moisture flux from surface to 700 mb.  This flux controls the duration and intensity of precipitation.  Recall last winter when California had a record number of intense ARs that filled the “1000 yr“  drought’s reservoirs and extended Mammoth Mountain’s ski season into August 2023.

Atmospheric River forecast by Marty Ralph’s team:
https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/iwv-and-ivt-forecasts/

Four deep storms from the Beaufort Sea (967 mb) to central Siberia (990mb) controlled the warm and cold sectors this week. Another Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (973mb) dumped 2 m on Greenland and 0.2-1 m on Iceland under an AR flux of 400-1000 kg / (m s ) for 48 hr.   An AR moved into the Pacific Northwest with 115-281 mm rains and 80-130 cm snow predicted in the Olympics and Cascade mountains which will help the drought and fire situation.  The Sierra also received new snow (3-164 cm) and rain (80-196 mm) this week.  The latest AR and ECMWF forecasts give the Sierra its first significant snow of 100-140 cm.  

A Canadian Arctic Airmass stretched to the Gulf producing the first hard freeze in the south with many cold temperature records broken in the Halloween storm.  Colorado had an upslope storm with snow and our home on the west side of the Divide had its first 11 inch snowfall.  Last week Halloween lived up to its reputation with 24 inches in 24 hours at Aspen, and 18-20 inches at many ski areas.  Denver area even had a foot of snow.  Many cold records fell from Montana to Georgia. This week another Canadian Arctic airmass reached the Gulf of Mexico and moved east.

An important component of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced under stratus and in fog.   On a large scale differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.  NASA is now predicting a solar maximum of cycle 25 by January 2024 with some CMEs.  

The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.  NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB spiked above normal last week (+12 GT) a new record.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -35 to -48ºC.  This week the winter-like 1040 mb high pressure continued to build in the cold high elevation Greenland Plateau, thus reducing snowfall, but coastal storms and the AR pumped in significant snow 2-4 m onto the SE coastal mountains. The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively setting new records.  The accumulated SMB curve reached last year’s record this week.  see:

Central Europe and western Russia were cooled by a series of storms that moved into central Siberia.  Siberia continued to cool as days become shorter and become snow covered leading to a record early total global snow cover. Record cold temperatures were observed in Eastern Siberia last week.  Russia is now 90% snow-covered. This will increase radiational cooling in this region.

The jet stream continues to intensify and move south with a meridional - wavy flow.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.

Valentina Zharkova’s interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

Japan and N Korea are enjoying a normal FALL with 14-78 cm on the mountains of Sapporo and N Korea.

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (143-272 cm) near Mt Everest, with most other areas receiving 2 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling global weather patterns.  Its unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet continued in a relatively strong, intense winter mode. It is driving several large deep storms (936 to 990 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below -40 to -50º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures,  On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A deep 936 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic had heavy precipitation (1-2 m) putting more water back on the land.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 40 to 50 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -19 to -25ºC setting records and grounding aircraft last month.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south. The Antarctic set a November record cold of -60ºC.  South Georgia Island had snows reaching 22-104 cm this week.

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Antarctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow last month. Record snow fell in late October 2023.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (30-105 cm). These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December 2022. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 1032 mb high combined with a 948 mb low to produce a strong flow from the  SE carrying cool Antarctic air into SE Australia.

Note: this year was the first since 1987 when  Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 20-77 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast 80-180 mm thus filling the rain forests on the West coast of the South Island. Note: this week the interior of Australia had satellite surface temperatures from 10 to 31ºC - spring is here with a few cold blasts ! Significant rains fell on the E Coast of Australia ranging from 90-150 mm. Much of Australia had rain this week.

 South America was warming.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (232-317 cm). South American snow is at record levels.  Patagonia had significant snows and skiing in the Andes continued in November 2023.

Argentina and Brazil continue to warm,  yet, some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains (100-300 mm) in the South of Brazil by Iguazu Falls.  The Iguazu region continues to have major flooding.  At the end of April 2022, a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

As occurred last year, cold and snow is disrupting the seasonal migration of herders across the likes of northern China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. Last November, the coldest temperatures since the 1980s killed herders in NW China’s Xinjiang region. Hundreds of cattle and sheep also froze to death as blizzards and temperatures down to a record-breaking -48.6C (-55.5F) descended from the north.

This season is playing out similarly.
On Monday (Nov 6), at least eight herders were killed in central Mongolia due to fierce, early-season blizzards, the country’s National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has said.
Icy roads and poor visibility have also led to disruptions.
Snow and blizzards swept the western provinces of Zavkhan and Uvs, and also the central parts of the country including the national capital Ulaanbaatar as well as the provinces of Arkhangai, Uvurkhangai, Tuv and Bulgan, reports news.mn.
Note: ECMWF and GFS models predicted very cold conditions in this region last week.

Heavy And Record-Breaking Snow Pounds China
Trains and buses have been cancelled and schools have been shut across northern China as the country’s first substantial snowstorm of the season hits. Its weather service said the cold front is expected to deliver record-breaking snowfall.
Major highways across northeastern cities such as Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, are closed, and flights are canceled, China’s state broadcaster CCTV said.Schools have also been shut across multiple provinces, including Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning where heavy snowstorms and freezing lows are forecast to continue for a number of days.
China’s National Meteorological Center expects the snowfall to “breakthrough the historical records”.
As a result, authorities have issued a rare ‘orange’ weather alert.

 Anchorage Blanketed In White
Anchorage also saw its first sizable snowfall Sunday through Monday, with more than 6 inches falling on Nov 5 alone.
According to the National Weather Service, those 6+ inches made for the city’s highest-ever snowfall total on Nov 5, comfortably besting the previous record of 3.8 inches set back in 1964.
New Study: Antarctica Has Cooled More Than 1C Since 1999
Significant 21st century cooling in the Central Pacific, Eastern Pacific, and nearly all of Antarctica “implies substantial uncertainties in future temperature projections of CMIP6 models.” – Zhang et al., 2023
As reported by notrickszone.com, new research indicates West Antarctica’s mean annual surface temperatures cooled by more than -1.8C from 1999-2018. The cooling was most prominent during spring, with the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) cooling at a rate of -1.84C per decade.

A Meter Of Early-Season Snow Hits The Alps
This week has seen tremendous snow pound the European Alps. “It is looking good,” reports of planetski.eu.
Totals have comfortably exceeded a meter (3.3 feet) in some parts, with the ‘freezing level’ dropping down to 1,500m.
The northern French Alps copped healthy totals, such as the resorts of Tgnes, Le Arcs, La Rosiere and Chamonix; while over the western Swiss Alps, Glacier 3000 and Verbier posted incredible early-season numbers, as did Courmayeur and La Thuile in northwest Italy.
https://electroverse.info/snow-hits-the-alps-russia-under-snow-chinas-record-blizzards-flakes-to-america/ 

A host of European resorts have already opened their slopes: 2 in Finland, 1 in Norway, 7 in Austria, 3 in Italy, and 3 in Switzerland. Additional ski areas are due to open this weekend, including Switzerland’s Verbier (on Fri, Nov 10).
Operators in France are also preparing for early openings on the back a rise in inquiries following the heavy snow.
“I’m very excited to see this much snow already, and more to come in the forecast,” said Zac Brown of Ski France.
“Sales last week were the best of the year so far, so it certainly seems as if the talk of snow has got our customers excited too.
“Let’s hope it’s the start of a fantastic season to come.”
The french resorts of Val Thorens and Tignes are now preparing to open ASAP.

90% Of Russia Under Snow
According to the scientific director of Russia’s Hydrometeorological Center, Roman Vilfand, snow is blanketing 90% of Russia.
All of Siberia and the south of the Urals are covered in snow, including Transbaikalia; in the Khabarovsk Territory and Primorye, and average of 20cm (8 inches) has settled there; while cover of up to 8 cm lies in Sakhalin.
Flakes Return To North America
A pair of winter storms will bring snow to two separate portions the U.S. Wednesday and into Thursday — the Northeast and the Colordao Rockies, with Alaska and Canada also copping healthy totals.
The likes of upstate New York and northern New England will be hit late Wednesday and lasting into early Thursday, with cities such as Burlington, Manchester and Portland among the locations to receive potentially disruptive totals.
Another snow event is on the way for Colorado, including the Denver metro area which, just last week, suffered one of its biggest October snow storms in recent memory after a foot settled in some parts.

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE SNOW MASS 250 GIGATONS ABOVE 1982-2012 AVERAGE

Low Temperature Records Continue To Fall, As Does The Snow; Southern Africa Hit With Polar Blast; Antarctica Suffers Rare November Cold (-60.4C); EV Fail; + Solar Filament Inbound

Low Temperature Records Continue To Fall, As Does The Snow
The past 24-hours have delivered additional headaches to the jittery, coffee-spitting “look, the weather is killing us!” climate brigade, as the United States felled hundreds-more low temperature records.
From California to Pennsylvania, daily records have fallen (between 10:00 Nov 1 – 09:00 Nov 2 UTC):
https://electroverse.info/record-cold-and-snow-africa-polar-blast-antarctica-rare-november-cold-ev-fail-solar-filament-inbound/ 

Many-a snowfall benchmark has been busted, too.
Michigan, for example, posted a myriad of new snowfall records this week, such as in Muskegon, which saw 8.8″ (some reports say 10″); in Flint, which registered 1.1″; in Saginaw with its 0.5″; and also Detroit with 0.2″ — all new records.
In fact, that Muskegon record was a biggie, and led to two additional records falling, and all.
18 inches clipped the North Dakota town of Lankin. Other double digit totals were noted in Washburn and Harvey (14 inches) as well as Minot and Williston (11 inches). Further east, Leeds reported 8 inches and Larimore and Grafton saw 8.5 inches.
Record low temperatures then swept the snow-covered areas, holding daily highs below freezing for days.

Southern Africa Hit With Polar Blast
A late season polar blast has gripped Southern Africa of late, where temperatures in some areas plunged 20C in 24 hours.
The mountains of Lesotho are freezing and rare snow is falling. Likewise, parts of the Eastern Cape, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal awoke to breathtaking scenes as their gardens matched the snow-tipped peaks of distant mountains.
Barkley East, Elliot, and parts of Matatiele, south of the Drakensberg, have been turned into a winter wonderland, reports news24.com. Snow has capped the Sneeuberg, Winterberg and the Drakensberg mountains, and all.
The SA Weather Service said other parts of the country that experienced snowfalls were the eastern parts of the Free State and mountainous parts of KwaZulu-Natal.

Antarctica Suffers Rare November Cold (-60.4C)
October was anomalously-cold month across Antarctica, with averages ranging from -1C to -1.9C below the multidecadal norm.
The freeze has now spilled into November, too.
On Nov 1, the French–Italian research facility Concordia posted a low of -60.4C (-76.7F), which isn’t far off the station’s record monthly minimum of -62.2C (-79.9F), set on Nov 2, 2006
Antarctica is cooling, the data are clear.
EV Fail
It’s been a crushing week for the EV industry as the bad news that has been brewing for months was laid bare in the quarterly reports, writes Jo Nova.
Volkswagen admitted orders are down a shocking 50% and they are sacking 2,000 jobs in the software division.
Toyota’s chairman and former CEO, Akio Toyoda, told reporters at an auto show in Japan this week that waning demand for electric vehicles is a sign that people are waking up to the reality that EVs aren’t the silver bullet against the supposed ills of carbon emissions they’re often made out to be.

Aspen’s “Snowmageddon!”: 24 Inches In 24 Hours
‘Snowmass’ is a ski resort located in the Town of Snowmass Village near Aspen, Colorado — it just got pounded.
The resort received a whopping 2 feet of October snow in just 24-hour period, as shown by the measuring stick at:

* Highlands: 24+”
* Snowmass: 24+”
* Buttermilk: 18+”
* Aspen Mountain: 18+”

“Highlands and Snowmass could have received more but the automated sensors were a bit funky over the past 24 hours,” writes Collentine, who adds “Holy smokes!”
Record Cold And Snow Already Sweeping The U.S.; Halloween Arctic Blast Approaches; + 104-Year-Old Low Temperature Record Broken In B.C.
October 30, 2023 Cap Allon
Record Cold And Snow Already Sweeping U.S.
Both daily as well as monthly cold records fell over the weekend, particularly across the NW. From Washington to Wisconsin, hundreds of benchmarks have been busted, including a host of monthly lows for The Evergreen State as well as Oregon.
The first polar outbreak of the season went and dropped heavy snow, too, most notably to North Dakota where a record total accumulated at the state capital.
https://electroverse.info/halloween-arctic-blast-approaches-low-temperature-records-broken/ 

Switching focus to Colorado, one of the biggest October snow storms in recent memory dropped a foot in some parts of the Denver metro area. The official 6.5 inches logged at the airport makes this one of the snowiest Octobers on record.
Higher totals were posted elsewhere across the area, including the 10.4 inches at Aurora, and the 10.6 inches at Castle Pines.
The deepest snow was reserved for the high country where many areas measured more than foot (16 inches at Breckenridge). That is a rare amount of October snow even for the mountains.
All the fresh powder made for good conditions at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area which became the first ski area in Colorado to open (on Saturday).
Shifting north, the mercury has already dropped to record lows in parts of Montana, with some areas posting sub-zero (F) readings. Dropping below 0 in the depths of winter isn’t all-that that unusual, but in October it most certainly is.
With a thick (record-breaking) blanket of snow on the ground, the stage was set for a high pressure will move in and allow the mercury to fall to record/near lows in the 0s and -0s, even into the -10s (so around -24C).
The snow was also impressive.

104-Year-Old Low Temperature Record Broken In B.C.
Records have already been falling north of the border, too, across British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Starting in B.C., the first significant cold snap of the season broken temperature records across the province.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the mercury dropped to -8.6C (16.5F) in Merritt late last week, breaking the previous Oct 26 low record for the city that had stood since 1919.
Low temperature records were also felled at Burns Lake, with its -15.4C (4F) besting the old record of -10.6C (12.9F) set in 1971; in Smithers, with its -10.7C (12.7F) breaking the -8.9C (16F) set in 1969; in the coastal Bella Bella, with the -4.2C (24.4F) annihilating the old record of -0.6C (30.9F) from 2008; Port Hardy’s -4C (24.8F) beat 1970’s -2.2C (28F); and Squamish’s -2.5C (27.5F) pipped the -1.9C (28.6F) set in 2020.
Records have also been broken in Saskatchewan.

2023, A Year Of Record Cold
People are quick to forget (if they ever know at all), and are blindly accepting of whatever narrative the establishment lays before them.
Case in point is global boiling. Many, many all-time low temperature records have fallen this year, they’ve just gone unreported, and so the dutiful masses, the paint tossing tossers among us haven’t been privy to the full picture.

Australia’s Barrier Reef Is Still Great
Like the now stonewalled scares of extinct polar bears and an ice-free Arctic, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has gone the same way. MSM-peddled doomsday predictions have once again been proven pitifully inaccurate (yet we still can’t question them).
The record-breaking growth reported in 2021-22 has been sustained in the latest annual period (to May 2023). The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) recently reported that regional average hard coral cover in 2022-2023 was similar to last year.
No bleaching, no cyclones hitting the reef, no crown-of thorns starfish attacks — an alarmists worth nightmare: no alarm.

Prof. Nils-Axel Mörner: “The Approaching Grand Solar Minimum and Little Ice Age Conditions”
October 26, 2023 Cap Allon
[A recap article today due to family reasons. This was originally published on electroverse.net on Sept 6, 2020.]
Nils-Axel Mörner is the former head of the paleogeophysics and geodynamics department at Stockholm University. He retired in 2005 and since has dedicated his days to disproving the IPPC’s thermageddon nonsense while also warning of a coming Grand Solar Minimum.  Between 1997-2003, Mörner chaired an INTAS project on Geomagnetism & Climate — a project concluding that by the middle of the 21st century the Sun would be in a new solar minimum and Little Ice Age climatic conditions would prevail on Earth.
These conclusions were quite straightforward, writes Mörner, and were included in a Special Issue of PRP:
The phasing of the solar cycles gives a clear message for the middle of the century: there will be a New Grand Solar Minimum. The same message is seen when we consider the cyclic relations between Earth’s rotation, ocean circulation, and Arctic climate, too.
During the last three grand solar minima—the Spörer, Maunder and Dalton Minima—global climate experienced Little Ice Age conditions. Arctic water penetrated to the south all the way down to Mid Portugal, and Europe experienced severe climatic conditions. The Arctic ice cover expanded significantly.

Two Portuguese Scientists Identity 8 Areas Of The Greenhouse Gas Hypothesis That Lack Scientific Validation; + The JMA Has El Niño Collapsing Next Year

Two Portuguese Scientists Identity 8 Areas Of The Greenhouse Gas Hypothesis That Lack Scientific Validation
Despite the clever establishment silencing tactics of putting fingers in ears and yelling “settled science!”, two Portuguese researchers (Khmelinskii and Woodcock, 2023) have identified eight assumptions in the greenhouse gas hypothesis that lack scientific validation.
https://electroverse.info/scientists-expose-ghg-hypothesis-the-jma-has-el-nino-collapsing-next-year/?utm_content=cmp-true 

For the sake of brevity, four of the challenges are summarized below (courtesy of Kenneth Richard, via climatechangedispatch.com):

• CO2 can only absorb 10% of all radiation in the specific IR bands CO2 affects. CO2 “absorbs absolutely nothing at all other IR wavelengths.” Thus, CO2 has no effect on IR in 90% of absorption bands.
• CO2 can only absorb IR in the top 300 m, or 0.3 km of the surface troposphere, which is 10 km thick. Thus, CO2 can only affect 10% of the IR in 3% of the surface troposphere where climate change occurs.
• Because of its vanishingly small effects, doubling CO2 concentrations could only lead to a 0.015°C surface temperature change, at most. Understatedly, “this effect would not even be measurable.”
• Uncertainty in the Earth’s radiation balance is ±17 W/m². The estimated radiation imbalance is 0.6 W/m², which is “orders of magnitude” smaller than the uncertainty in its derivation. Thus, the “global balance of energy fluxes…cannot be derived from measured fluxes“… and this “profoundly affects our ability to understand how Earth’s climate responds to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases.”

“The editors at ESD do not view observational uncertainty –or questions regarding the magnitude of CO2’s effects– as worthy of critical analysis,” concludes Richard.


The JMA Has El Niño Collapsing Next Year
If a period of global cooling is indeed on the cards then we would expect La Niñas to be the dominate ENSO pattern.
Supporting this theory are latest Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) forecasts, which call for a collapsing El Niño next year, dipping below neutral perhaps as early as April, and potentially reentering La Niña territory by next summer:
Historic Snow/Ice Gains On Greenland; + Researchers “Surprised” To Find “Re-Glaciating Snow Field” In California’s Sierra Nevada
October 21, 2023 Cap Allon
Historic Snow/Ice Gains On Greenland
The Danish Meteorological Institute’s daily Surface Mass Balance (SMB) dataset failed to update late last week. I think I now know why. The DMI was probably seeking to validate this monstrous gain before going public with it:
https://electroverse.info/record-gains-posted-on-the-greenland-ice-sheet-re-glaciation-on-sierra-nevada/ 

On Wednesday, October 18, a recording-smashing 12+ gigaton gain was posted by the ice sheet, the highest daily total ever recorded in DMI record books dating back to 1981.
Another 9Gts was picked up Thursday.
Then 8Gts Friday.
These are astonishing gains of early-season snow, which practically buried the southeast section of the island; gains that have pushed the season’s accumulated SMB well-above the 1981-2010 mean (bottom panel below) to rival last year’s record readings:

India is cooling, according to the data.
A recent study by IITM showed ‘cold waves’ have increased over the past decade: “On average, these regions used to record 2-to-5 cold wave days per 10 years during most decades from 1951-2011, but this rose to nearly 5-15 days in the last decade (ending 2021).”

Proper Polar Plunge To Pound U.S.
“A shocking change in the weather is ahead,” warn AccuWeather meteorologists.
A temperature crash to as much as 25C below the multidecadal average is on the cards for vast areas of the U.S. (and Canada) next week, which will lead to the West’s first disruptive and widespread snowfall of the season.
“Temperatures will start to come down on Friday as the high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere weakens,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Heather Zehr.
“This will be most noticeable along the coast, due to the wind shifting to come in off the chilly ocean … Temperatures across Central/Southern California much of next week can run 5 to 10F below historical averages,” added Zehr.
“The storm coming ashore may bring snow to the highest elevations of the Oregon Cascades on Sunday. By Monday, freezing levels will fall in the Sierra Nevada and Southern California mountains … leading to snow.”
Next week–as touched on above–could be where the real fun and games begin.
On Monday and Tuesday, the mountains of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are forecast substantial settling snow.
But come Wednesday, a more widespread and intense Arctic Outbreak is set to unfold, one that could stretch coast-to-coast and drop the mercury by as much as 25C below the 1981-2010 climatological average.

How The Greenland Ice Sheet ‘REALLY’ Fared Last Season (2022-2023)
October 19, 2023 Cap Allon
The data are in. Let’s take a look at how the poster boy for global warming fared during the 2022-2023 season…
https://electroverse.info/how-the-greenland-ice-sheet-really-fared-last-season-2022-2023/ 

Last season (Sept 1, 2022 – Aug 31, 2023) the Greenland ice sheet achieved a Surface Mass Balance of approximately 400Gt. This ranks it above the 1981-2010 average and 15th-highest in SMB in data extending back 43 years.

The 2022-2023 Season
The season commenced with above-average snowfall in September. A host of exceptional snowfall events played out in October and through November, culminating in record-breaking gains as the calendar flipped to December which, looking again at the chart above, held the season;s accumulated SMB above not only the average but also the historic variability (grey area).  see carts in my albums,,,
In late winter, however, a rather dry –though still cold– period followed, which saw the Acc. SMB fall back to the multidecadal average (grey line). April and May then saw SMB dip below the average. But with on the onset of June came the most remarkable feature in the evolution of 2023’s — the extended period of growth into the summer melt season.
Into July, the the accumulated SMB was holding some 150Gt above average.
The audacity of the MSM to claim that the 2023 melt season was in anyway alarming is cherry-picking obfuscation at best and outright fraud at worst. Even the staunchest of AGW proponents must see this, the propaganda can’t be that blinding.

23 EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF SOLAR PHYSICS AND CLIMATE SCIENCE CONTRADICT THE IPCC: THE SCIENCE IS NOT SETTLED
5 days ago
Dr. Connolly, lead author: "The IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”
The scientific review article looks at the role the Sun has played in ‘climate change’ over the last 150 years.
It finds that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) may have been premature in their conclusion that recent climate change is mostly caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.
The paper, written by 23 experts in the fields of solar physics and of climate science from 14 different countries, is published in the peer-reviewed journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (RAA).
Dr. Ronan Connolly, lead author of the study, at the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES):
“The IPCC is mandated to find a consensus on the causes of climate change. I understand the political usefulness of having a consensus view in that it makes things easier for politicians. However, science doesn’t work by consensus. In fact, science thrives best when scientists are allowed to disagree with each other and to investigate the various reasons for disagreement. I fear that by effectively only considering the datasets and studies that support their chosen narrative, the IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”

PHOENIX’S RECORD SUMMER WARMTH NOT REFLECTED IN SURROUNDING WEATHER STATION DATA
5 days ago
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so -- this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Cities have expanded substantially since 1833, replacing the native landscape with high heat capacity surfaces like buildings, pavement, and sources of waste heat. This leads to UHI warmth today of +10F or more, mostly at night.

Conflating the urban heat island with ‘global boiling’ is an easy win for the MSM, and it is demanded that they do so.
As the Herald’s report dutifully adds: “Prominent scientific institutions around the globe including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agree that the warming is caused mainly by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, NASA said.“
“See how that works?,” writes former NASA scientist Dr Roy Spencer. “A city has record warmth, so it must be due to global warming caused by burning fossil fuels.”
Dr Spencer says he is still trying to determine if he can use the ‘raw’ data to make such comparisons, since there are other data adjustments made in NOAA’s homogenization of the data that I’m not privy to.
One final point: The legacy media routinely parrots NOAA’s claim that these new high temperature records are based upon data extending back to 1895. In general, this is not true, notes Dr Spencer. Most of these station records don’t go back nearly that far. For the Phoenix Sky Harbor location, for example, the data starts in 1933. A few of 2023’s other “record hot cities” start dates are Miami, FL (1948), Houston, TX (1931), and Mobile, AL (1948).
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so — this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Spurious correlations and unsupportable conclusions, however, continue to be front and center of MSM rounds.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive
June 26, 2023 Cap Allon
Fear prevents us from thinking. The emotional panic that accompanies fear actually shuts down the prefrontal cortex –the rational thinking part– of our brains. A populace that stops thinking for itself is a populace that is easily led, easily manipulated and easily controlled.

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising
For more than a century, sea levels have been dropping across the Northern European cities of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki — that was, until 2020 when the IPCC’s new AR6 Sea Level Projection Tool inexplicably promoted an all-round sea level rise.
The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.
https://clintel.org/thorough-analysis-by-clintel-shows-serious-errors-in-latest-ipcc-report/ 

Since this new IPCC computer modelling was released in 2020, ‘alarm’ has indeed been the prevailing messaging, with apocalyptic ‘flooding projections’ infecting every corner of the mainstream media.

6 NOVEMBER 2023   

EUROPE’s Ciasan Storm set many records for heavy rains, seas, wind speeds floods and debris flows from the UK to Slovenia.  This record low pressure for the UK 956 mb impacted the weather from Greenland to N Africa.  It was the most intense extratropical cyclone I have seen.  In France over 500,000 homes were without power. Roads were washed out in parts of Slovenia, saturated ground resulted in debris flows on steep slopes damaging homes and blocking roads.  

Ciasan had a strong Atmospheric River that moved from the UK south to France, Italy and Slovenia.  The GFS model predicted the strong AR 5 days in advance.   The Atlantic A R provided a strong moisture flux into the region.  The GFS model continued to predict the AR and spun up a 956 mb low that moved across southern UK into the N Sea and then north into the Atlantic off Norway. The ECMWF model also predicted this storm on 4 Nov.  These storms had 10-12 m waves in the Atlantic west of Ireland and 7-10 m waves in the Bay of Biscay - quite strong.

The windy.com wave map shows the deep storms:

see:  https://www.windy.com/-Waves-waves?waves,67.842,-1.230,3,i:pressure

The Alps of Slovenia had flooding and damaging debris flows in this system with 50-100 mm of rain.  Kredarica (2815m) had light snow (25-30 cm).   The Alps should get 50 to 165 cm this week.

the ECMWF model continued to predict heavy snow (2-5 m)  on the SE coast of Greenland, as the Atlantic storm continued to pump moisture from the SE into Greenland.  The AR forecast showed a weak persistent flow from the UK to GL.  The Danish Arctic Research team continued to track the Greenland Snow Mass Balance SMB above normal at record accumulation levels since 1 September.  

As the northern jet stream intensifies, Atmospheric Rivers are beginning to dominate precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere from Alaska to Greenland and Europe.  These ARs are associated with intense cyclonic storms that dominate the weather.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  Atmospheric River forecasts quantify the model computations of moisture flux from surface to 700 mb.  This flux controls the duration and intensity of precipitation.  Recall last winter when California had a record number of intense ARs that filled the “1000 yr“  drought’s reservoirs and extended Mammoth Mountain’s ski season into August.

Atmospheric River forecast by Marty Ralph’s team:
https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/iwv-and-ivt-forecasts/

Three deep storms from the Gulf of Alaska (992 mb) to central Siberia (983mb) controlled the warm and cold sectors this week. Another Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (977mb) dumped 5 m on Greenland and 0.5-1 m on Iceland under an AR flux of 400-1000 kg / (m s ) for 48 hr.   An AR moved into the Pacific Northwest with 115-281 mm rains and 100-115 cm snow predicted in the Olympics and Cascade mountains which will help the drought and fire situation.  The Sierra also received new snow (8-66 cm) and rain (100-200 mm) this week.  The latest AR and ECMWF forecasts give the Sierra its first significant snow of 100-140 cm.  

A Canadian Arctic Airmass stretched to the Gulf producing the first hard freeze in the south with many cold temperature records broken.  Colorado had an upslope storm with snow and our home on the west side of the Divide had its first 11 inch snowfall.  Last week Halloween lived up to its reputation with 24 inches in 24 hours at Aspen, and 18-20 inches at many ski areas.  Denver area even had a foot of snow.  Many cold records fell from Montana to Georgia.

 
One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.  NASA is now predicting a solar maximum of cycle 25 by January 2024 with some CMEs.  

Our exceptionally strong el Niño has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.  NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB spiked above normal last week (+12 GT) a new record.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -35 to -47ºC.  This week the winter-like 1040 mb high pressure continued to build in the cold high elevation Greenland Plateau, thus reducing snowfall, but coastal storms and the AR pumped in significant snow 2-5 m. The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively setting new records.  The accumulated SMB curve reached last year’s record this week. The latest ECMWF forecast has 5 m of new snow in SE Greenland as the remnants of Hurricane Tammy stalled in the  Labrador Sea.  see:

Central Europe and western Russia were cooled by a deep persistent 961- 984 mb Kara Sea low that moved south into central Siberia.  Siberia continued to cool as days become shorter and become snow covered leading to a record early total global snow cover.

The jet stream continues to intensify and move south with a meridional - wavy flow.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  This week’s Arctic front triggered severe weather from Texas to Illinois as it moved east to the coast.

Valentina Zharkova’s interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

Japan and N Korea are enjoying a normal FALL with 4-20 cm on the mountains of Sapporo and N Korea.

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (116 - 255 cm) with many areas receiving 2 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 0-20 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling global weather patterns.  Its unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet continued in a relatively strong, intense winter mode. It is driving several large deep storms (934 to 980 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below -50 to -60º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A deep 934 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic had heavy precipitation (1-2 m) putting more water back on the land.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 40 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -19 to -25ºC setting records and grounding aircraft last month.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south. The Antarctic set a November record cold of -60ºC.

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Antarctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow last month. Record snow fell in late October.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (30-105 cm). These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 1032 mb high combined with a 948 mb low to produce a strong flow from the  SE carrying Antarctic air into SE Australia. This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up1to 40 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when  Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 40-73 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast 80-180 mm thus filling the rain forests on the West coast of the South Island. Note: this week the interior of Australia had satellite surface temperatures from 11 to 25ºC - spring is here with a few cold blasts ! Significant rains fell on the E Coast of Australia ranging from 90-150 mm.  The Great Barrier Reef is doing well.

 South America was warming, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (137-268 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (161-314 cm). South American snow is at record levels.  Patagonia had significant snows and skiing in the Andes continued in November.  South Georgia Island had snows reaching 30-70 cm this week.

Argentina and Brazil continue to warm,  yet, some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains (100-300 mm) in the South of Brazil by Iguazu Falls.  The Iguazu region had major flooding.  At the end of April, a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have had significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

South America snow extent is also at record-breaking levels.
Northern Hemisphere snow mass is enjoying a tremendous start to the season, aided in no small part by Russia.
Some 80% of transcontinental Russia’s 17.1 million km² land mass is currently under a blanket of snow:

Low Temperature Records Continue To Fall, As Does The Snow; Southern Africa Hit With Polar Blast; Antarctica Suffers Rare November Cold (-60.4C); EV Fail; + Solar Filament Inbound

Low Temperature Records Continue To Fall, As Does The Snow
The past 24-hours have delivered additional headaches to the jittery, coffee-spitting “look, the weather is killing us!” climate brigade, as the United States felled hundreds-more low temperature records.
From California to Pennsylvania, daily records have fallen (between 10:00 Nov 1 – 09:00 Nov 2 UTC):
https://electroverse.info/record-cold-and-snow-africa-polar-blast-antarctica-rare-november-cold-ev-fail-solar-filament-inbound/ 

Many-a snowfall benchmark has been busted, too.
Michigan, for example, posted a myriad of new snowfall records this week, such as in Muskegon, which saw 8.8″ (some reports say 10″); in Flint, which registered 1.1″; in Saginaw with its 0.5″; and also Detroit with 0.2″ — all new records.
In fact, that Muskegon record was a biggie, and led to two additional records falling, and all.
18 inches clipped the North Dakota town of Lankin. Other double digit totals were noted in Washburn and Harvey (14 inches) as well as Minot and Williston (11 inches). Further east, Leeds reported 8 inches and Larimore and Grafton saw 8.5 inches.
Record low temperatures then swept the snow-covered areas, holding daily highs below freezing for days.

Southern Africa Hit With Polar Blast
A late season polar blast has gripped Southern Africa of late, where temperatures in some areas plunged 20C in 24 hours.
The mountains of Lesotho are freezing and rare snow is falling. Likewise, parts of the Eastern Cape, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal awoke to breathtaking scenes as their gardens matched the snow-tipped peaks of distant mountains.
Barkley East, Elliot, and parts of Matatiele, south of the Drakensberg, have been turned into a winter wonderland, reports news24.com. Snow has capped the Sneeuberg, Winterberg and the Drakensberg mountains, and all.
The SA Weather Service said other parts of the country that experienced snowfalls were the eastern parts of the Free State and mountainous parts of KwaZulu-Natal.

Antarctica Suffers Rare November Cold (-60.4C)
October was anomalously-cold month across Antarctica, with averages ranging from -1C to -1.9C below the multidecadal norm.
The freeze has now spilled into November, too.
On Nov 1, the French–Italian research facility Concordia posted a low of -60.4C (-76.7F), which isn’t far off the station’s record monthly minimum of -62.2C (-79.9F), set on Nov 2, 2006
Antarctica is cooling, the data are clear.
EV Fail
It’s been a crushing week for the EV industry as the bad news that has been brewing for months was laid bare in the quarterly reports, writes Jo Nova.
Volkswagen admitted orders are down a shocking 50% and they are sacking 2,000 jobs in the software division.
Toyota’s chairman and former CEO, Akio Toyoda, told reporters at an auto show in Japan this week that waning demand for electric vehicles is a sign that people are waking up to the reality that EVs aren’t the silver bullet against the supposed ills of carbon emissions they’re often made out to be.

Aspen’s “Snowmageddon!”: 24 Inches In 24 Hours
‘Snowmass’ is a ski resort located in the Town of Snowmass Village near Aspen, Colorado — it just got pounded.
The resort received a whopping 2 feet of October snow in just 24-hour period, as shown by the measuring stick at:
https://electroverse.info/aspens-snowmageddon-tuvalu-sea-level-rise-halloween-solar-storm-20-years-later/ 

Below are the storm totals based on the snow stake cams and automated weather stations on the mountains as of Sunday morning, as reported by Sam Collentine of OpenSnow:

* Highlands: 24+”
* Snowmass: 24+”
* Buttermilk: 18+”
* Aspen Mountain: 18+”

“Highlands and Snowmass could have received more but the automated sensors were a bit funky over the past 24 hours,” writes Collentine, who adds “Holy smokes!”

Record Cold And Snow Already Sweeping The U.S.; Halloween Arctic Blast Approaches; + 104-Year-Old Low Temperature Record Broken In B.C.
October 30, 2023 Cap Allon
Record Cold And Snow Already Sweeping U.S.
Both daily as well as monthly cold records fell over the weekend, particularly across the NW. From Washington to Wisconsin, hundreds of benchmarks have been busted, including a host of monthly lows for The Evergreen State as well as Oregon.
The first polar outbreak of the season went and dropped heavy snow, too, most notably to North Dakota where a record total accumulated at the state capital.
https://electroverse.info/halloween-arctic-blast-approaches-low-temperature-records-broken/ 

Switching focus to Colorado, one of the biggest October snow storms in recent memory dropped a foot in some parts of the Denver metro area. The official 6.5 inches logged at the airport makes this one of the snowiest Octobers on record.
Higher totals were posted elsewhere across the area, including the 10.4 inches at Aurora, and the 10.6 inches at Castle Pines.
The deepest snow was reserved for the high country where many areas measured more than foot (16 inches at Breckenridge). That is a rare amount of October snow even for the mountains.
All the fresh powder made for good conditions at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area which became the first ski area in Colorado to open (on Saturday).
Shifting north, the mercury has already dropped to record lows in parts of Montana, with some areas posting sub-zero (F) readings. Dropping below 0 in the depths of winter isn’t all-that that unusual, but in October it most certainly is.
With a thick (record-breaking) blanket of snow on the ground, the stage was set for a high pressure will move in and allow the mercury to fall to record/near lows in the 0s and -0s, even into the -10s (so around -24C).
The snow was also impressive.
“Montana never disappoints.”

104-Year-Old Low Temperature Record Broken In B.C.
Records have already been falling north of the border, too, across British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Starting in B.C., the first significant cold snap of the season broken temperature records across the province.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the mercury dropped to -8.6C (16.5F) in Merritt late last week, breaking the previous Oct 26 low record for the city that had stood since 1919.
Low temperature records were also felled at Burns Lake, with its -15.4C (4F) besting the old record of -10.6C (12.9F) set in 1971; in Smithers, with its -10.7C (12.7F) breaking the -8.9C (16F) set in 1969; in the coastal Bella Bella, with the -4.2C (24.4F) annihilating the old record of -0.6C (30.9F) from 2008; Port Hardy’s -4C (24.8F) beat 1970’s -2.2C (28F); and Squamish’s -2.5C (27.5F) pipped the -1.9C (28.6F) set in 2020.
Records have also been broken in Saskatchewan.

2023, A Year Of Record Cold
People are quick to forget (if they ever know at all), and are blindly accepting of whatever narrative the establishment lays before them.
Case in point is global boiling. Many, many all-time low temperature records have fallen this year, they’ve just gone unreported, and so the dutiful masses, the paint tossing tossers among us haven’t been privy to the full picture.
https://electroverse.info/2023-a-year-of-record-cold-barrier-reef-is-still-great-cold-weather-deaths-surge/

Australia’s Barrier Reef Is Still Great
Like the now stonewalled scares of extinct polar bears and an ice-free Arctic, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has gone the same way. MSM-peddled doomsday predictions have once again been proven pitifully inaccurate (yet we still can’t question them).
The record-breaking growth reported in 2021-22 has been sustained in the latest annual period (to May 2023). The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) recently reported that regional average hard coral cover in 2022-2023 was similar to last year.
No bleaching, no cyclones hitting the reef, no crown-of thorns starfish attacks — an alarmists worth nightmare: no alarm.

Prof. Nils-Axel Mörner: “The Approaching Grand Solar Minimum and Little Ice Age Conditions”
October 26, 2023 Cap Allon
[A recap article today due to family reasons. This was originally published on electroverse.net on Sept 6, 2020.]
Nils-Axel Mörner is the former head of the paleogeophysics and geodynamics department at Stockholm University. He retired in 2005 and since has dedicated his days to disproving the IPPC’s thermageddon nonsense while also warning of a coming Grand Solar Minimum.  Between 1997-2003, Mörner chaired an INTAS project on Geomagnetism & Climate — a project concluding that by the middle of the 21st century the Sun would be in a new solar minimum and Little Ice Age climatic conditions would prevail on Earth.
These conclusions were quite straightforward, writes Mörner, and were included in a Special Issue of PRP:
The phasing of the solar cycles gives a clear message for the middle of the century: there will be a New Grand Solar Minimum. The same message is seen when we consider the cyclic relations between Earth’s rotation, ocean circulation, and Arctic climate, too.

Two Portuguese Scientists Identity 8 Areas Of The Greenhouse Gas Hypothesis That Lack Scientific Validation; + The JMA Has El Niño Collapsing Next Year

Two Portuguese Scientists Identity 8 Areas Of The Greenhouse Gas Hypothesis That Lack Scientific Validation
Despite the clever establishment silencing tactics of putting fingers in ears and yelling “settled science!”, two Portuguese researchers (Khmelinskii and Woodcock, 2023) have identified eight assumptions in the greenhouse gas hypothesis that lack scientific validation.
https://electroverse.info/scientists-expose-ghg-hypothesis-the-jma-has-el-nino-collapsing-next-year/?utm_content=cmp-true 

For the sake of brevity, four of the challenges are summarized below (courtesy of Kenneth Richard, via climatechangedispatch.com):

• CO2 can only absorb 10% of all radiation in the specific IR bands CO2 affects. CO2 “absorbs absolutely nothing at all other IR wavelengths.” Thus, CO2 has no effect on IR in 90% of absorption bands.
• CO2 can only absorb IR in the top 300 m, or 0.3 km of the surface troposphere, which is 10 km thick. Thus, CO2 can only affect 10% of the IR in 3% of the surface troposphere where climate change occurs.
• Because of its vanishingly small effects, doubling CO2 concentrations could only lead to a 0.015°C surface temperature change, at most. Understatedly, “this effect would not even be measurable.”
• Uncertainty in the Earth’s radiation balance is ±17 W/m². The estimated radiation imbalance is 0.6 W/m², which is “orders of magnitude” smaller than the uncertainty in its derivation. Thus, the “global balance of energy fluxes…cannot be derived from measured fluxes“… and this “profoundly affects our ability to understand how Earth’s climate responds to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases.”

“The editors at ESD do not view observational uncertainty –or questions regarding the magnitude of CO2’s effects– as worthy of critical analysis,” concludes Richard.


The JMA Has El Niño Collapsing Next Year
If a period of global cooling is indeed on the cards then we would expect La Niñas to be the dominate ENSO pattern.
Supporting this theory are latest Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) forecasts, which call for a collapsing El Niño next year, dipping below neutral perhaps as early as April, and potentially reentering La Niña territory by next summer:
Historic Snow/Ice Gains On Greenland; + Researchers “Surprised” To Find “Re-Glaciating Snow Field” In California’s Sierra Nevada

October 21, 2023 Cap Allon
Historic Snow/Ice Gains On Greenland
The Danish Meteorological Institute’s daily Surface Mass Balance (SMB) dataset failed to update late last week. I think I now know why. The DMI was probably seeking to validate this monstrous gain before going public with it:
https://electroverse.info/record-gains-posted-on-the-greenland-ice-sheet-re-glaciation-on-sierra-nevada/ 

On Wednesday, October 18, a recording-smashing 12+ gigaton gain was posted by the ice sheet, the highest daily total ever recorded in DMI record books dating back to 1981.
Another 9Gts was picked up Thursday.
Then 8Gts Friday.
These are astonishing gains of early-season snow, which practically buried the southeast section of the island; gains that have pushed the season’s accumulated SMB well-above the 1981-2010 mean (bottom panel below) to rival last year’s record readings:

Early-Season Snow In Bhaderwah
Of late, Northern India has been impacted by winter-like lows and record-breaking snows.
https://electroverse.info/snow-bhaderwah-polar-plunge-u-s-another-embarrassing-activist-study-low-sunspots/

Across the state of Shimla, the earliest snowfall ever recorded clipped the state capital Narkanda and also Hatu Peak earlier in the week. With 10 cm (4 inches) clipping Shikari Devi, breaking a 40-year-old record there.

India is cooling, according to the data.
A recent study by IITM showed ‘cold waves’ have increased over the past decade: “On average, these regions used to record 2-to-5 cold wave days per 10 years during most decades from 1951-2011, but this rose to nearly 5-15 days in the last decade (ending 2021).”

Proper Polar Plunge To Pound U.S.
“A shocking change in the weather is ahead,” warn AccuWeather meteorologists.
A temperature crash to as much as 25C below the multidecadal average is on the cards for vast areas of the U.S. (and Canada) next week, which will lead to the West’s first disruptive and widespread snowfall of the season.
“Temperatures will start to come down on Friday as the high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere weakens,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Heather Zehr.
“This will be most noticeable along the coast, due to the wind shifting to come in off the chilly ocean … Temperatures across Central/Southern California much of next week can run 5 to 10F below historical averages,” added Zehr.
“The storm coming ashore may bring snow to the highest elevations of the Oregon Cascades on Sunday. By Monday, freezing levels will fall in the Sierra Nevada and Southern California mountains … leading to snow.”
Next week–as touched on above–could be where the real fun and games begin.
On Monday and Tuesday, the mountains of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are forecast substantial settling snow.
But come Wednesday, a more widespread and intense Arctic Outbreak is set to unfold, one that could stretch coast-to-coast and drop the mercury by as much as 25C below the 1981-2010 climatological average.

How The Greenland Ice Sheet ‘REALLY’ Fared Last Season (2022-2023)
October 19, 2023 Cap Allon
The data are in. Let’s take a look at how the poster boy for global warming fared during the 2022-2023 season…
https://electroverse.info/how-the-greenland-ice-sheet-really-fared-last-season-2022-2023/ 

Last season (Sept 1, 2022 – Aug 31, 2023) the Greenland ice sheet achieved a Surface Mass Balance of approximately 400Gt. This ranks it above the 1981-2010 average and 15th-highest in SMB in data extending back 43 years.

The 2022-2023 Season
The season commenced with above-average snowfall in September. A host of exceptional snowfall events played out in October and through November, culminating in record-breaking gains as the calendar flipped to December which, looking again at the chart above, held the season;s accumulated SMB above not only the average but also the historic variability (grey area).  see carts in my albums,,,
In late winter, however, a rather dry –though still cold– period followed, which saw the Acc. SMB fall back to the multidecadal average (grey line). April and May then saw SMB dip below the average. But with on the onset of June came the most remarkable feature in the evolution of 2023’s — the extended period of growth into the summer melt season.
Into July, the the accumulated SMB was holding some 150Gt above average.
The audacity of the MSM to claim that the 2023 melt season was in anyway alarming is cherry-picking obfuscation at best and outright fraud at worst. Even the staunchest of AGW proponents must see this, the propaganda can’t be that blinding.

Cold Snap Forces Germany To Fire-Up Reserve Coal Plant
As recently reported by Bloomberg, Germany has stoked its back-up coal unit to help meet energy needs as the region’s first proper cold snap of the season takes hold.

This faculty was also called into action last winter too, before being mothballed in July. Last year’s historic energy crisis forced Germany to increase its reliance on coal after supplies of Russian pipeline gas were shut off, reports Bloomberg.

23 EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF SOLAR PHYSICS AND CLIMATE SCIENCE CONTRADICT THE IPCC: THE SCIENCE IS NOT SETTLED
5 days ago
Dr. Connolly, lead author: "The IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”
The scientific review article looks at the role the Sun has played in ‘climate change’ over the last 150 years.
It finds that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) may have been premature in their conclusion that recent climate change is mostly caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.
The paper, written by 23 experts in the fields of solar physics and of climate science from 14 different countries, is published in the peer-reviewed journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (RAA).
Dr. Ronan Connolly, lead author of the study, at the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES):
“The IPCC is mandated to find a consensus on the causes of climate change. I understand the political usefulness of having a consensus view in that it makes things easier for politicians. However, science doesn’t work by consensus. In fact, science thrives best when scientists are allowed to disagree with each other and to investigate the various reasons for disagreement. I fear that by effectively only considering the datasets and studies that support their chosen narrative, the IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”

PHOENIX’S RECORD SUMMER WARMTH NOT REFLECTED IN SURROUNDING WEATHER STATION DATA
5 days ago
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so -- this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Cities have expanded substantially since 1833, replacing the native landscape with high heat capacity surfaces like buildings, pavement, and sources of waste heat. This leads to UHI warmth today of +10F or more, mostly at night.

Conflating the urban heat island with ‘global boiling’ is an easy win for the MSM, and it is demanded that they do so.
As the Herald’s report dutifully adds: “Prominent scientific institutions around the globe including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agree that the warming is caused mainly by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, NASA said.“
“See how that works?,” writes former NASA scientist Dr Roy Spencer. “A city has record warmth, so it must be due to global warming caused by burning fossil fuels.”
Dr Spencer says he is still trying to determine if he can use the ‘raw’ data to make such comparisons, since there are other data adjustments made in NOAA’s homogenization of the data that I’m not privy to.
One final point: The legacy media routinely parrots NOAA’s claim that these new high temperature records are based upon data extending back to 1895. In general, this is not true, notes Dr Spencer. Most of these station records don’t go back nearly that far. For the Phoenix Sky Harbor location, for example, the data starts in 1933. A few of 2023’s other “record hot cities” start dates are Miami, FL (1948), Houston, TX (1931), and Mobile, AL (1948).
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so — this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Spurious correlations and unsupportable conclusions, however, continue to be front and center of MSM rounds.

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising

The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.

29 October 2023  

America experienced its first major Arctic blast from Alaska, NW Territories to the Gulf of Mexico as a 1040 mb High moved south.  Colorado had a strong upslope that delivered heavy front-range snow and very cold (-18 ºC) temperatures. This was somewhat typical of Halloween.  West of the Continental Divide, Summit County had 6-15 inches.  We had a low of 8 ºF and ~ 9 wet inches.

Europe continued to have wet conditions that were spun up under the a very persistent set of deep N Atlantic storms that generate strong short waves with fronts that have warm and cold sectors triggering heavy precipitation and flooding.  The Atlantic A R continued to provide a strong moisture flux into the region.  The GFS model continued to predict the AR and spun up a 955 mb low in the N Sea that will create havoc to Scotland again on 2 November. We’ll see if this forecast verifies. The ECMWF model also predicted this storm and a second one on 4 Nov.  These storms have 10-12 m waves in the Atlantic west of Ireland and 10 m waves in the Bay of Biscay - quite strong.

The windy.com wave map shows the deep storms:

see:  https://www.windy.com/-Waves-waves?waves,67.842,-1.230,3,i:pressure

Earlier this week the GFS predicted a strong AR for southern Europe including Slovenia on 27 Oct.  Today, 27 Nov. Slovenia has heavy rain and coastal flooding under the AR and Jugo, a south wind flowing up the Adriatic causing the flooding from Venice to Piran. The Alps of Slovenia had flooding and damaging debris flows in this system with 50-100 mm of rain.  Kredarica (2815m) had light snow (2-5 cm). Next week another AR will hit the area from N Italy to Slovenia on 2-3 Nov. as predicted by the ECMWF WITH 10-25 MM/6 HOURS and another on 4-5 Nov.   The Alps should get 50 to 150 cm next week.

the ECMWF model continued to predict heavy snow (2-5 m)  on the SE coast of Greenland, as the Atlantic storm continued to pump moisture from the SE into Greenland.  The AR forecast showed a weak persistent flow from the UK to
GL.  The Danish Arctic Research team continued to track the Greenland Snow Mass Balance SMB above normal at record accumulation levels since 1 September.  

As the northern jet stream intensifies, Atmospheric Rivers are beginning to dominate precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere from Alaska to Greenland and Europe.  These ARs are associated with intense cyclonic storms that dominate the weather.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  Atmospheric River forecasts quantify the model computations of moisture flux from surface to 700 mb.  This flux controls the duration and intensity of precipitation.  Recall last winter when California had a record number of intense ARs that filled the “1000 yr“  drought’s reservoirs and extended Mammoth Mountain’s ski season into August.

Atmospheric River forecast by Marty Ralph’s team:
https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/iwv-and-ivt-forecasts/

Three deep storms from the Gulf of Alaska (992 mb) to central Siberia (983mb) controlled the warm and cold sectors this week. Another Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (977mb) dumped 5 m on Greenland and 0.5-1 m on Iceland under an AR flux of 400-1000 kg / (m s ) for 48 hr.   The Pacific NW had 42-115 mm in the  with significant rains predicted again this week which will help the drought and fire situation.  The Sierra also received new snow (7-16 cm) and rain (15-122 mm) this week, much earlier than normal; however, the AR remained to the north.  

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

Our exceptionally strong el Niño has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.  NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB spiked above normal last week (+12 GT) a new record.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -35 to -47ºC.  This week the winter-like 1040 mb high pressure continued to build in the cold high elevation Greenland Plateau, thus reducing snowfall, but coastal storms and the AR pumped in significant snow 2-5 m. The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively setting new records.  The accumulated SMB curve reached last year’s record this week. The latest ECMWF forecast has 5 m of new snow in SE Greenland as the remnants of Hurricane Tammy stalls in the Gulf of Labrador.  see:

Central Europe and western Russia were cooled by a deep persistent 961- 984 mb Kara Sea low that moved south into central Siberia.  Siberia continued to cool as days become shorter.

The jet stream continues to intensify and move south with a meridional - wavy flow.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  This week’s Arctic front triggered severe weather from Texas to Illinois as it moved east to the coast.

Valentina Zharkova’s interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

Japan and N Korea are enjoying a normal FALL with 4-20 cm on the mountains of Sapporo and N Korea.

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (116 - 255 cm) with many areas receiving 2 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 0-20 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling global weather patterns.  Its unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet continued in a relatively strong, intense winter mode. It is driving several large deep storms (934 to 980 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below -50 to -60º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A deep 934 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic had heavy precipitation (1-2 m) putting more water back on the land.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 40 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -19 to -25ºC setting records and grounding aircraft last month.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south.

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Antarctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow last month.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (30-105 cm). These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 1032 mb high combined with a 948 mb low to produce a strong flow from the  SE carrying Antarctic air into SE Australia. This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up1to 40 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when  Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 41-56 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast 169-240 mm thus filling the rain forests on the West coast of the South Island. Note: this week the interior of Australia had satellite surface temperatures from 11 to 25ºC - spring is here with a few cold blasts !

 South America was warming, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (137-268 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (140 - 231 cm).   South Georgia Island had snows reaching 30-68 cm this week.

Argentina and Brazil continue to warm,  yet, some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains (100-300 mm) in the South of Brazil by Iguazu Falls.  At the end of April, a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

Prof. Nils-Axel Mörner: “The Approaching Grand Solar Minimum and Little Ice Age Conditions”
October 26, 2023 Cap Allon
[A recap article today due to family reasons. This was originally published on electroverse.net on Sept 6, 2020.]
Nils-Axel Mörner is the former head of the paleogeophysics and geodynamics department at Stockholm University. He retired in 2005 and since has dedicated his days to disproving the IPPC’s thermageddon nonsense while also warning of a coming Grand Solar Minimum.  Between 1997-2003, Mörner chaired an INTAS project on Geomagnetism & Climate — a project concluding that by the middle of the 21st century the Sun would be in a new solar minimum and Little Ice Age climatic conditions would prevail on Earth.
These conclusions were quite straightforward, writes Mörner, and were included in a Special Issue of PRP:
The phasing of the solar cycles gives a clear message for the middle of the century: there will be a New Grand Solar Minimum. The same message is seen when we consider the cyclic relations between Earth’s rotation, ocean circulation, and Arctic climate, too.
During the last three grand solar minima—the Spörer, Maunder and Dalton Minima—global climate experienced Little Ice Age conditions. Arctic water penetrated to the south all the way down to Mid Portugal, and Europe experienced severe climatic conditions. The Arctic ice cover expanded significantly.

Two Portuguese Scientists Identity 8 Areas Of The Greenhouse Gas Hypothesis That Lack Scientific Validation; + The JMA Has El Niño Collapsing Next Year

Two Portuguese Scientists Identity 8 Areas Of The Greenhouse Gas Hypothesis That Lack Scientific Validation
Despite the clever establishment silencing tactics of putting fingers in ears and yelling “settled science!”, two Portuguese researchers (Khmelinskii and Woodcock, 2023) have identified eight assumptions in the greenhouse gas hypothesis that lack scientific validation.
https://electroverse.info/scientists-expose-ghg-hypothesis-the-jma-has-el-nino-collapsing-next-year/?utm_content=cmp-true 

For the sake of brevity, four of the challenges are summarized below (courtesy of Kenneth Richard, via climatechangedispatch.com):

• CO2 can only absorb 10% of all radiation in the specific IR bands CO2 affects. CO2 “absorbs absolutely nothing at all other IR wavelengths.” Thus, CO2 has no effect on IR in 90% of absorption bands.
• CO2 can only absorb IR in the top 300 m, or 0.3 km of the surface troposphere, which is 10 km thick. Thus, CO2 can only affect 10% of the IR in 3% of the surface troposphere where climate change occurs.
• Because of its vanishingly small effects, doubling CO2 concentrations could only lead to a 0.015°C surface temperature change, at most. Understatedly, “this effect would not even be measurable.”
• Uncertainty in the Earth’s radiation balance is ±17 W/m². The estimated radiation imbalance is 0.6 W/m², which is “orders of magnitude” smaller than the uncertainty in its derivation. Thus, the “global balance of energy fluxes…cannot be derived from measured fluxes“… and this “profoundly affects our ability to understand how Earth’s climate responds to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases.”

“The editors at ESD do not view observational uncertainty –or questions regarding the magnitude of CO2’s effects– as worthy of critical analysis,” concludes Richard.


The JMA Has El Niño Collapsing Next Year
If a period of global cooling is indeed on the cards then we would expect La Niñas to be the dominate ENSO pattern.
Supporting this theory are latest Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) forecasts, which call for a collapsing El Niño next year, dipping below neutral perhaps as early as April, and potentially reentering La Niña territory by next summer:
Historic Snow/Ice Gains On Greenland; + Researchers “Surprised” To Find “Re-Glaciating Snow Field” In California’s Sierra Nevada

October 21, 2023 Cap Allon
Historic Snow/Ice Gains On Greenland
The Danish Meteorological Institute’s daily Surface Mass Balance (SMB) dataset failed to update late last week. I think I now know why. The DMI was probably seeking to validate this monstrous gain before going public with it:
https://electroverse.info/record-gains-posted-on-the-greenland-ice-sheet-re-glaciation-on-sierra-nevada/ 

On Wednesday, October 18, a recording-smashing 12+ gigaton gain was posted by the ice sheet, the highest daily total ever recorded in DMI record books dating back to 1981.
Another 9Gts was picked up Thursday.
Then 8Gts Friday.
These are astonishing gains of early-season snow, which practically buried the southeast section of the island; gains that have pushed the season’s accumulated SMB well-above the 1981-2010 mean (bottom panel below) to rival last year’s record readings:

Across the state of Shimla, the earliest snowfall ever recorded clipped the state capital Narkanda and also Hatu Peak earlier in the week. With 10 cm (4 inches) clipping Shikari Devi, breaking a 40-year-old record there.

India is cooling, according to the data.
A recent study by IITM showed ‘cold waves’ have increased over the past decade: “On average, these regions used to record 2-to-5 cold wave days per 10 years during most decades from 1951-2011, but this rose to nearly 5-15 days in the last decade (ending 2021).”

Proper Polar Plunge To Pound U.S.
“A shocking change in the weather is ahead,” warn AccuWeather meteorologists.
A temperature crash to as much as 25C below the multidecadal average is on the cards for vast areas of the U.S. (and Canada) next week, which will lead to the West’s first disruptive and widespread snowfall of the season.
“Temperatures will start to come down on Friday as the high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere weakens,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Heather Zehr.
“This will be most noticeable along the coast, due to the wind shifting to come in off the chilly ocean … Temperatures across Central/Southern California much of next week can run 5 to 10F below historical averages,” added Zehr.
“The storm coming ashore may bring snow to the highest elevations of the Oregon Cascades on Sunday. By Monday, freezing levels will fall in the Sierra Nevada and Southern California mountains … leading to snow.”
Next week–as touched on above–could be where the real fun and games begin.
On Monday and Tuesday, the mountains of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are forecast substantial settling snow.
But come Wednesday, a more widespread and intense Arctic Outbreak is set to unfold, one that could stretch coast-to-coast and drop the mercury by as much as 25C below the 1981-2010 climatological average.
Latest GFS runs currently have this barreling in starting Wed, Oct 25:

How The Greenland Ice Sheet ‘REALLY’ Fared Last Season (2022-2023)
October 19, 2023 Cap Allon
The data are in. Let’s take a look at how the poster boy for global warming fared during the 2022-2023 season…
https://electroverse.info/how-the-greenland-ice-sheet-really-fared-last-season-2022-2023/ 

Last season (Sept 1, 2022 – Aug 31, 2023) the Greenland ice sheet achieved a Surface Mass Balance of approximately 400Gt. This ranks it above the 1981-2010 average and 15th-highest in SMB in data extending back 43 years.

The 2022-2023 Season
The season commenced with above-average snowfall in September. A host of exceptional snowfall events played out in October and through November, culminating in record-breaking gains as the calendar flipped to December which, looking again at the chart above, held the season;s accumulated SMB above not only the average but also the historic variability (grey area).  see carts in my albums,,,
In late winter, however, a rather dry –though still cold– period followed, which saw the Acc. SMB fall back to the multidecadal average (grey line). April and May then saw SMB dip below the average. But with on the onset of June came the most remarkable feature in the evolution of 2023’s — the extended period of growth into the summer melt season.
Into July, the the accumulated SMB was holding some 150Gt above average.
The audacity of the MSM to claim that the 2023 melt season was in anyway alarming is cherry-picking obfuscation at best and outright fraud at worst. Even the staunchest of AGW proponents must see this, the propaganda can’t be that blinding.

As mentioned above, Russia also saw its first -30C this week.
As reported yesterday, the Yakutia village of Oymyakon bottomed-out at -33C (-27.4F) on Oct 17, making for Russia’s coldest temperature this early into a season for 30 years, according to Russian weather site gismeteo.ru.
Cold Snap Forces Germany To Fire-Up Reserve Coal Plant
As recently reported by Bloomberg, Germany has stoked its back-up coal unit to help meet energy needs as the region’s first proper cold snap of the season takes hold.
The power plant –the LEAG’s Jänschwalde block F, with its capacity of 500 megawatts– was asked by the German government to start generating last Sunday to help boost German supplies following the onset of the descention of Arctic air into Europe.
This faculty was also called into action last winter too, before being mothballed in July. Last year’s historic energy crisis forced Germany to increase its reliance on coal after supplies of Russian pipeline gas were shut off, reports Bloomberg.

A continent-spanning mass of polar cold is on course to barrel down from the Arctic region stating this weekeind, bringing temperatures crashing to at least 10C below normal for much of Europe. The cold front will traverse the UK on Friday afternoon, entering continental Europe early Saturday. The front will prove expansive, extending from the Baltic region to central France, and continuing its march east-southeast Sunday.  Snow is also in the forecast for the northern UK and Northern Ireland this weekend.
The Scottish Highlands could have received 15+ cm (6 inches) by Sunday.
A second cold air mass will then closely follow the first, maintaining temperatures some -7C below the norm across much o Europe.

While looking ahead, the continent’s chills appear set to intensify as the month of October progresses, with the likes of Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay and southern Brazil forecast temperature anomalies of as much as 20C below the seasonal norm:

According To NOAA Weather Station Data, The U.S. Has Cooled (2005-2023)
Official data show U.S. temperature anomalies (Jan. 2005 thru Sep. 2023) have cooled slightly, despite 44% higher CO2.

Pro-Skier Recaps Record Snow Year
Snow isn’t a thing of the past — the AGW Party was forced to tweak that vaticination somewhat. The IPCC once said: “milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms”. That line has now vanished from recent reports.
Last season, as was the case with so many other resorts throughout North America (at least 20), Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming had its snowiest winter ever recorded, comfortably besting the 577 inches set in 1997 (solar minimum of cycle 22).
 
Cool September In Alaska; First -20C (-4F) Of The Season In Russia; + “New Little Ice Age Instead Of Global Warming?”

Elsewhere, an unusual -19.9C (-3.8F) was registered in Oymyakon; -13.1C (8.4F) in Verkhoyansk.
A few weeks ago now, on September 23, Verkhoyansk posted a low of -10.1C (13.8F) which made for the town’s earliest -10C in almost 15 years, since the Sept 17 of 2008 (solar minimum of cycle 24).
Across northern Siberia, in particular, ‘blues’ have been the dominant feature since the onset of fall, hinting at a potentially harsh winter to come.
While shifting eastwards, across the Bering Straight and through Alaska, a new seasonal low has been observed in Canada, too: Tuesday’s low in Eureka, Nunavut plunged to -27.3C (-17.1F):
“Snow in the beginning of October is simply a bonus,” reported powder.com — and it could be a sign of things to come.
Mont Tremblant joins Whiteface and Mount Washington as eastern resorts to have received their first substantial snows of the season, with forecasters predicting a strong chance for multiple Nor’easters this winter given the developing El Niño event.
A growing number of forecasts are calling for “huge snowstorms” this winter along the eastern seaboard.

ICELAND’S COOL SEPTEMBER; COLD WAVES IN BRAZIL TO POSE PROBLEMS FOR WHEAT HARVEST; HEAVY SNOW AT THE TETONS, WYOMING; “WINTER IS BACK” IN UTAH; + FIRST WIDESPREAD FREEZE OF THE SEASON
2 days ago
This will no doubt completely blindside the agitated warmists, who are all currently bewailing a natural and temporary warming spike.
September was colder than the 2013-2022 average in Iceland, it was cooler than the 1991 to 2020 norm, too.
Cold Waves In Brazil To Pose Problems For Wheat Harvest
As reported by agricensus.com, three sequential cold waves are forecast to hit Brazil’s main agricultural area next week.
And while the accompanying rains are set to favor sowings of summer corn and soybean, the cool down is expected to pose serious problems for the country’s wheat harvest, continues the Agricensus report.
A mass of ‘blues’ is expected to drag itself up Argentina throughout the week, engulfing the likes of Paraguay by Wednesday and well-into Brazil by Thursday/Friday.
This is the threat posed this year, and was the reality of the past two falls/winters when numerous record-breaking freezes hammered key growing regions, leaving the likes of soybean, corn, sugarcane and coffee crops all decimated in their wake:

Heavy Snow At The Tetons, Wyoming
A powerful wintry storm impacted parts of Wyoming this week, resulting in the first heavy snowfalls of the season at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Grand Targhee.
Snow levels across the Tetons and Northwest Wyoming dipped as low as 7,500 feet on Tuesday, and resulted in well-over a foot accumulating at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. While on the west side of the Tetons, Grand Targhee received about a foot.

TEMPERATURE CRASH FOR EUROPE; + CLIMATE MODELS WRONG ON EAST PACIFIC: “WE DON’T KNOW WHY THIS COOLING IS HAPPENING”
3 days ago
Despite legacy media caterwaulings of “endless heat”, the winter of 2023-24 is all-but upon us and early indications point to it being truly brutal.
October has started mild for western Europe — the remnants of summer’s ‘global boiling’ is still rife here.
However, in a classic ‘swing between extremes‘ the west can expect a fierce mass of descending Arctic ‘blue’ starting around October 14, while simultaneously the east is due to flip ‘red’ (note also the cold descends well into North Africa):
Snow is even possible for Scotland and perhaps even northern England by next weekend.

23 EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF SOLAR PHYSICS AND CLIMATE SCIENCE CONTRADICT THE IPCC: THE SCIENCE IS NOT SETTLED
5 days ago
Dr. Connolly, lead author: "The IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”
The scientific review article looks at the role the Sun has played in ‘climate change’ over the last 150 years.
It finds that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) may have been premature in their conclusion that recent climate change is mostly caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.
The paper, written by 23 experts in the fields of solar physics and of climate science from 14 different countries, is published in the peer-reviewed journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (RAA).
Dr. Ronan Connolly, lead author of the study, at the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES):
“The IPCC is mandated to find a consensus on the causes of climate change. I understand the political usefulness of having a consensus view in that it makes things easier for politicians. However, science doesn’t work by consensus. In fact, science thrives best when scientists are allowed to disagree with each other and to investigate the various reasons for disagreement. I fear that by effectively only considering the datasets and studies that support their chosen narrative, the IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”

PHOENIX’S RECORD SUMMER WARMTH NOT REFLECTED IN SURROUNDING WEATHER STATION DATA
5 days ago
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so -- this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Cities have expanded substantially since 1833, replacing the native landscape with high heat capacity surfaces like buildings, pavement, and sources of waste heat. This leads to UHI warmth today of +10F or more, mostly at night.

Conflating the urban heat island with ‘global boiling’ is an easy win for the MSM, and it is demanded that they do so.
As the Herald’s report dutifully adds: “Prominent scientific institutions around the globe including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agree that the warming is caused mainly by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, NASA said.“
“See how that works?,” writes former NASA scientist Dr Roy Spencer. “A city has record warmth, so it must be due to global warming caused by burning fossil fuels.”
Dr Spencer says he is still trying to determine if he can use the ‘raw’ data to make such comparisons, since there are other data adjustments made in NOAA’s homogenization of the data that I’m not privy to.
One final point: The legacy media routinely parrots NOAA’s claim that these new high temperature records are based upon data extending back to 1895. In general, this is not true, notes Dr Spencer. Most of these station records don’t go back nearly that far. For the Phoenix Sky Harbor location, for example, the data starts in 1933. A few of 2023’s other “record hot cities” start dates are Miami, FL (1948), Houston, TX (1931), and Mobile, AL (1948).
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so — this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Spurious correlations and unsupportable conclusions, however, continue to be front and center of MSM rounds.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive
June 26, 2023 Cap Allon
Fear prevents us from thinking. The emotional panic that accompanies fear actually shuts down the prefrontal cortex –the rational thinking part– of our brains. A populace that stops thinking for itself is a populace that is easily led, easily manipulated and easily controlled.
https://electroverse.info/climate-fails-the-list-is-exhaustive/ 

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising
For more than a century, sea levels have been dropping across the Northern European cities of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki — that was, until 2020 when the IPCC’s new AR6 Sea Level Projection Tool inexplicably promoted an all-round sea level rise.
The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.

Since this new IPCC computer modelling was released in 2020, ‘alarm’ has indeed been the prevailing messaging, with apocalyptic ‘flooding projections’ infecting every corner of the mainstream media.

22 October 2023   

BABET, UK Met Office’s second major named storm, battered the central UK and Scotland this week with a record low pressure (969 mb), flooding rains and angry 8 m waves on the east coast.  This storm persisted 2 days and sent a deep trough into the Mediterranean with a strong atmospheric river that extended from Scotland to Greenland.  On October 18th, Greenland had a record 12 GT SMB that moved 12 cubic km of water onto the glaciers.

As the northern jet stream intensifies, Atmospheric Rivers are beginning to dominate precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere from Alaska to Greenland and Europe.  These ARs are associated with intense cyclonic storms that dominate the weather.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  Atmospheric River forecasts quantify the model computations of moisture flux from surface to 700 mb.  This flux controls the duration and intensity of precipitation.  Recall last winter when California had a record number of intense ARs that filled the “1000 yr“  drought’s reservoirs and extended Mammoth Mountain’s ski season into August.

Atmospheric River forecast by Marty Ralph’s team:
https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/iwv-and-ivt-forecasts/

This coming week thru Halloween will bring a major change in the US’s mild fall to a cold winter like period taking us from +12 ºC to -16ºC below normal.  By 25 October the GFS has a strong cold front moving south.  Cold air will dominate 30-31 October.

Four deep storms from the Gulf of Alaska (998 mb) to the Kara Sea (961mb) controlled the warm and cold sectors this week. Another Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (982mb) dumped 5 m on Greenland and 1-2 m on Iceland under an AR flux of 400-1000 kg / (m s ) for 48 hr.   A deep 984 mb Aleutian Low pumped 1 m of new snow on the Mt. Logan Massif.  This area had an AR flux forecast of 800 - 1000 kg / (m s ). The Pacific NW had 44-209 mm in the Olympic Mountains with significant rains predicted again this week which will help the drought and fire situation.  The Sierra also received new snow (5-59 cm) and rain (35-115 mm)this week, much earlier than normal; however, the AR remained to the north.  A ridge dominated the West keeping temperatures above normal, while another coastal storm kept the East cool and wet.

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

Our exceptionally strong el Niño has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.  NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB spiked above normal this week (+12 GT) a new record.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -47ºC as the sun quickly moves south.  This week the winter-like 1040 mb high pressure continued to build in the cold high elevation Greenland Plateau, thus reducing snowfall, but coastal storms and the AR pumped in significant snow 2-5 m. The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively setting new records.  In see:

Central Europe and western Russia were cooled by a deep persistent 961mb Kara Sea low that now extended south to the Caspian Sea.  Siberia continued to cool as days become shorter.

 Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire danger:

The Northern Hemisphere continues to transition to fall after the Autumnal Equinox on 23 September.  The jet stream continues to intensify and move south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  

Valentina Zharkova’s interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (1-3 m) with many areas receiving 10 to 50 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 20-50 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet continued in a relatively strong, intense winter mode. It is driving several large deep storms (948 to 980 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below -60 to -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A deep 948 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic had heavy precipitation (1-2 m) putting more water back on the land.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -25 to -44ºC setting records and grounding aircraft last month.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south.

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow last month.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (30-105 cm). These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  Last week a large 959 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to Cape Town generating 13 m waves.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 6-16 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 20-40 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast 109-204 (mm) thus filling the rain forests on the West coast of the South Island. Note: this week the interior of Australia had satellite surface temperatures from 11 to 40ºC - spring is here!

 South America was warming, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (137-268 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (117-153 cm).   South Georgia Island had snows reaching 28-85 cm this week. Argentina and Brazil continue to warm,  yet, some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.

Two Portuguese Scientists Identity 8 Areas Of The Greenhouse Gas Hypothesis That Lack Scientific Validation; + The JMA Has El Niño Collapsing Next Year
October 20, 2023 Cap Allon
Two Portuguese Scientists Identity 8 Areas Of The Greenhouse Gas Hypothesis That Lack Scientific Validation
Despite the clever establishment silencing tactics of putting fingers in ears and yelling “settled science!”, two Portuguese researchers (Khmelinskii and Woodcock, 2023) have identified eight assumptions in the greenhouse gas hypothesis that lack scientific validation.
https://electroverse.info/scientists-expose-ghg-hypothesis-the-jma-has-el-nino-collapsing-next-year/?utm_content=cmp-true 

For the sake of brevity, four of the challenges are summarized below (courtesy of Kenneth Richard, via climatechangedispatch.com):

• CO2 can only absorb 10% of all radiation in the specific IR bands CO2 affects. CO2 “absorbs absolutely nothing at all other IR wavelengths.” Thus, CO2 has no effect on IR in 90% of absorption bands.
• CO2 can only absorb IR in the top 300 m, or 0.3 km of the surface troposphere, which is 10 km thick. Thus, CO2 can only affect 10% of the IR in 3% of the surface troposphere where climate change occurs.
• Because of its vanishingly small effects, doubling CO2 concentrations could only lead to a 0.015°C surface temperature change, at most. Understatedly, “this effect would not even be measurable.”
• Uncertainty in the Earth’s radiation balance is ±17 W/m². The estimated radiation imbalance is 0.6 W/m², which is “orders of magnitude” smaller than the uncertainty in its derivation. Thus, the “global balance of energy fluxes…cannot be derived from measured fluxes“… and this “profoundly affects our ability to understand how Earth’s climate responds to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases.”

“The editors at ESD do not view observational uncertainty –or questions regarding the magnitude of CO2’s effects– as worthy of critical analysis,” concludes Richard.


The JMA Has El Niño Collapsing Next Year
If a period of global cooling is indeed on the cards then we would expect La Niñas to be the dominate ENSO pattern.
Supporting this theory are latest Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) forecasts, which call for a collapsing El Niño next year, dipping below neutral perhaps as early as April, and potentially reentering La Niña territory by next summer:

Historic Snow/Ice Gains On Greenland; + Researchers “Surprised” To Find “Re-Glaciating Snow Field” In California’s Sierra Nevada
October 21, 2023 Cap Allon
Historic Snow/Ice Gains On Greenland
The Danish Meteorological Institute’s daily Surface Mass Balance (SMB) dataset failed to update late last week. I think I now know why. The DMI was probably seeking to validate this monstrous gain before going public with it:
https://electroverse.info/record-gains-posted-on-the-greenland-ice-sheet-re-glaciation-on-sierra-nevada/ 

On Wednesday, October 18, a recording-smashing 12+ gigaton gain was posted by the ice sheet, the highest daily total ever recorded in DMI record books dating back to 1981.
Another 9Gts was picked up Thursday.
Then 8Gts Friday.
These are astonishing gains of early-season snow, which practically buried the southeast section of the island; gains that have pushed the season’s accumulated SMB well-above the 1981-2010 mean (bottom panel below) to rival last year’s record readings:

Early-Season Snow Hits Bhaderwah; Proper Polar Plunge To Pound U.S.; Another Embarrassing Activist-Study Achieves Publication; + Lowest Sunspot Number In More Than 6-Months

Early-Season Snow In Bhaderwah
Of late, Northern India has been impacted by winter-like lows and record-breaking snows.
https://electroverse.info/snow-bhaderwah-polar-plunge-u-s-another-embarrassing-activist-study-low-sunspots/ 

Across the state of Shimla, the earliest snowfall ever recorded clipped the state capital Narkanda and also Hatu Peak earlier in the week. With 10 cm (4 inches) clipping Shikari Devi, breaking a 40-year-old record there.

India is cooling, according to the data.
A recent study by IITM showed ‘cold waves’ have increased over the past decade: “On average, these regions used to record 2-to-5 cold wave days per 10 years during most decades from 1951-2011, but this rose to nearly 5-15 days in the last decade (ending 2021).”


Proper Polar Plunge To Pound U.S.
“A shocking change in the weather is ahead,” warn AccuWeather meteorologists.
A temperature crash to as much as 25C below the multidecadal average is on the cards for vast areas of the U.S. (and Canada) next week, which will lead to the West’s first disruptive and widespread snowfall of the season.
“Temperatures will start to come down on Friday as the high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere weakens,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Heather Zehr.
“This will be most noticeable along the coast, due to the wind shifting to come in off the chilly ocean … Temperatures across Central/Southern California much of next week can run 5 to 10F below historical averages,” added Zehr.
“The storm coming ashore may bring snow to the highest elevations of the Oregon Cascades on Sunday. By Monday, freezing levels will fall in the Sierra Nevada and Southern California mountains … leading to snow.”
Next week–as touched on above–could be where the real fun and games begin.
On Monday and Tuesday, the mountains of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are forecast substantial settling snow.
But come Wednesday, a more widespread and intense Arctic Outbreak is set to unfold, one that could stretch coast-to-coast and drop the mercury by as much as 25C below the 1981-2010 climatological average.

How The Greenland Ice Sheet ‘REALLY’ Fared Last Season (2022-2023)
October 19, 2023 Cap Allon
The data are in. Let’s take a look at how the poster boy for global warming fared during the 2022-2023 season…
https://electroverse.info/how-the-greenland-ice-sheet-really-fared-last-season-2022-2023/ 

Last season (Sept 1, 2022 – Aug 31, 2023) the Greenland ice sheet achieved a Surface Mass Balance of approximately 400Gt. This ranks it above the 1981-2010 average and 15th-highest in SMB in data extending back 43 years.

The 2022-2023 Season
The season commenced with above-average snowfall in September. A host of exceptional snowfall events played out in October and through November, culminating in record-breaking gains as the calendar flipped to December which, looking again at the chart above, held the season;s accumulated SMB above not only the average but also the historic variability (grey area).  see carts in my albums,,,
In late winter, however, a rather dry –though still cold– period followed, which saw the Acc. SMB fall back to the multidecadal average (grey line). April and May then saw SMB dip below the average. But with on the onset of June came the most remarkable feature in the evolution of 2023’s — the extended period of growth into the summer melt season.
Into July, the the accumulated SMB was holding some 150Gt above average.
The audacity of the MSM to claim that the 2023 melt season was in anyway alarming is cherry-picking obfuscation at best and outright fraud at worst. Even the staunchest of AGW proponents must see this, the propaganda can’t be that blinding.

As mentioned above, Russia also saw its first -30C this week.
As reported yesterday, the Yakutia village of Oymyakon bottomed-out at -33C (-27.4F) on Oct 17, making for Russia’s coldest temperature this early into a season for 30 years, according to Russian weather site gismeteo.ru.

Cold Snap Forces Germany To Fire-Up Reserve Coal Plant
As recently reported by Bloomberg, Germany has stoked its back-up coal unit to help meet energy needs as the region’s first proper cold snap of the season takes hold.
The power plant –the LEAG’s Jänschwalde block F, with its capacity of 500 megawatts– was asked by the German government to start generating last Sunday to help boost German supplies following the onset of the descention of Arctic air into Europe.
This faculty was also called into action last winter too, before being mothballed in July. Last year’s historic energy crisis forced Germany to increase its reliance on coal after supplies of Russian pipeline gas were shut off, reports Bloomberg.

Record-Setting Frosts Sweep Yakutia, Russia
Sakha, officially the Republic of Sakha (aka Yakutia), is the largest republic of Russia, located in the country’s Far East, along the Arctic Ocean. And although autumn has only recent beset the region, hard -30C (-22F) frosts have already set in.
From the region’s first -10C (14F) of the season, Verkhoyansk’s -10.1C/13.8F on Sept 23 (the town’s earliest -10C in 15 years); to Russia’s first -20C (-4F) of the season, Delyankir’s -21C/-5.8F on Oct 9 (also early).
This week, it’s Oymyakon making the headlines.
The Yakutia village, home to the “Pole of Cold” weather station, bottomed-out at -33C (-27.4F) on Oct 17: Russia’s coldest temperature this early into a season for 30 years, reports Russian weather site gismeteo.ru who provide the following graphic:
Despite the media’s skewed focus on summertime heat, the majority of Asia has held exceptionally cold in 2023.
One late-April cold spell sent the mercury crashing to unprecedented levels in Northern China, when, on April 22, some 241 stations suffered their lowest-daily-maxes ever recorded (during the latter half of April).
Looking back to last winter (2022-23), historic benchmarks were busted throughout the month of January, too, and not just in China. While Mohe City’s -53C (-63.4F) stole the headlines (the coldest reading ever recorded by the Chinese meteorological system), all-time national lows were slain across Asia, from Pakistan to Japan. Even China itself posted a host of additional cold records that largely slipped though the net, including Beijicun’s first ever -50C (-50.3C on Jan 22).

Monthly Cold Record Broken In Myanmar
Those wave-4s truly are delivering of late. The setup has shifted. This NH winter is setting up to be a doozy.
Last week, record cold swept the southeast Asian nation of Myanmar (formerly Burma).
Maungdaw, in Rakhine State, dropped to 17.3C (63.1F) and so comfortably busted the town’s coldest-ever October temperature, previously the 18.5C (65.3F) set back on October 31, 1985 (solar minimum of cycle 22).

Europe’s Polar Plunge
Europe’s forecast polar outbreak has started as expected, with the UK logging -4C (24.8F) over the weekend.

All regions of the UK –as divided by the Met Office– saw freezing lows over the weekend.
Even ‘London & South East England’ registered a very anomalous -1.1C (30F) on Oct 15.

Fortunes Changing for U.S. Ski Industry
“Snowfall is a thing of the past and ski resorts will be the first to suffer,” went the mainstream group-think (and STILL does in quarters not quite up to date with the latest AGW Party bendings).
The National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) recently updated the total number of operating ski resorts in the United States.
During the 2022-23 season, a continued increase in resorts open for skiing and riding was noted, bringing the total to 480, which is up from 473 the year before, and 462 the year before that.
Ten new ski resorts opened across the country from California to New Hampshire and even down to Alabama.

St Paul Hosts First Ever “Snow Summit” Following Historic 2022-23 Winter
Winter is coming, and many North American’s are still recovering from how much snow landed last year.
Keeping the roads clear was one of the biggest issues, which proved a headache from coast-to-coast.
St. Paul, capital of Minnesota, has transformed the Dale Street Garage into host for the city’s first ever “Snow Summit”, which is billed as a chance for St. Paul residents to meet with city leaders and maintenance crews to discuss how to better prepare for snow this year.
Last winter –and as proved to be the case for many U.S. locales– St. Paul broke it’s all-time record for snowfall, receiving over 90 inches of the white stuff over the course of the season, which is almost double city’s seasonal average.

23 EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF SOLAR PHYSICS AND CLIMATE SCIENCE CONTRADICT THE IPCC: THE SCIENCE IS NOT SETTLED
5 days ago
Dr. Connolly, lead author: "The IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”
The scientific review article looks at the role the Sun has played in ‘climate change’ over the last 150 years.
It finds that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) may have been premature in their conclusion that recent climate change is mostly caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.
The paper, written by 23 experts in the fields of solar physics and of climate science from 14 different countries, is published in the peer-reviewed journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (RAA).
Dr. Ronan Connolly, lead author of the study, at the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES):
“The IPCC is mandated to find a consensus on the causes of climate change. I understand the political usefulness of having a consensus view in that it makes things easier for politicians. However, science doesn’t work by consensus. In fact, science thrives best when scientists are allowed to disagree with each other and to investigate the various reasons for disagreement. I fear that by effectively only considering the datasets and studies that support their chosen narrative, the IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”

PHOENIX’S RECORD SUMMER WARMTH NOT REFLECTED IN SURROUNDING WEATHER STATION DATA
5 days ago
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so -- this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Cities have expanded substantially since 1833, replacing the native landscape with high heat capacity surfaces like buildings, pavement, and sources of waste heat. This leads to UHI warmth today of +10F or more, mostly at night.

Conflating the urban heat island with ‘global boiling’ is an easy win for the MSM, and it is demanded that they do so.
As the Herald’s report dutifully adds: “Prominent scientific institutions around the globe including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agree that the warming is caused mainly by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, NASA said.“
“See how that works?,” writes former NASA scientist Dr Roy Spencer. “A city has record warmth, so it must be due to global warming caused by burning fossil fuels.”
Dr Spencer says he is still trying to determine if he can use the ‘raw’ data to make such comparisons, since there are other data adjustments made in NOAA’s homogenization of the data that I’m not privy to.
One final point: The legacy media routinely parrots NOAA’s claim that these new high temperature records are based upon data extending back to 1895. In general, this is not true, notes Dr Spencer. Most of these station records don’t go back nearly that far. For the Phoenix Sky Harbor location, for example, the data starts in 1933. A few of 2023’s other “record hot cities” start dates are Miami, FL (1948), Houston, TX (1931), and Mobile, AL (1948).
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so — this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Spurious correlations and unsupportable conclusions, however, continue to be front and center of MSM rounds.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive
June 26, 2023 Cap Allon
Fear prevents us from thinking. The emotional panic that accompanies fear actually shuts down the prefrontal cortex –the rational thinking part– of our brains. A populace that stops thinking for itself is a populace that is easily led, easily manipulated and easily controlled.

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising
For more than a century, sea levels have been dropping across the Northern European cities of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki — that was, until 2020 when the IPCC’s new AR6 Sea Level Projection Tool inexplicably promoted an all-round sea level rise.
The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.

Since this new IPCC computer modelling was released in 2020, ‘alarm’ has indeed been the prevailing messaging, with apocalyptic ‘flooding projections’ infecting every corner of the mainstream media.

15 October 2023   

Atmospheric Rivers are beginning to dominate precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere from Alaska to Greenland and Europe.  These ARs are associated with intense cyclonic storms that dominate the weather.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  Atmospheric River forecasts quantify the model computations of moisture flux from surface to 700 mb.  This flux controls the duration and intensity of precipitation.  Recall last winter when California had a record number of intense ARs that filled the “1000 yr“  drought’s reservoirs.

Atmospheric River forecast by Marty Ralph’s team:
https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/iwv-and-ivt-forecasts/ 

Five deep storms from the Gulf of Alaska to the Kara Sea controlled the warm and cold sectors. Another Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (982mb) dumped 717 cm on Greenland and 230 cm on Iceland under an AR flux of 800-1200 kg / (m s ) for 48 hr.   A deep 934 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic had heavy precipitation (1-2 m) putting more water back on the land.     A deep 984 mb Aleutian Low pumped 1-3 m of new snow on the Mt. Logan Massif.  This area had an AR flux forecast of 800 - 1000 kg / (m s ). The Pacific NW had 98-165 mm in the Olympic Mountains with significant rains predicted again this week which will help the drought and fire situation.  The Sierra also received new snow this week, much earlier than normal; however, the AR remained to the north.

Another strong short wave and low pressure moved up the East coast dumping heavy flooding rains in the NE which has had too much rain this summer and fall.

Many areas cooled below normal as Canadian Air Masses pushed south to the Gulf of Mexico.   Many short waves (extratropical cyclones with cold and warm fronts) continue to travel in the northern jet stream bringing fall-like weather to northern regions.  The Rockies had snow and snow showers at high elevations with 5-30 cm predicted.  Our Colorado Rockies had a significant new snow above timberline ~11,000 ft (3353 m msl).  We had 7 inches at our house - which melts quickly.

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

Our exceptionally strong el Niño has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.  NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB spiked above normal this week (+8 GT).  Low elevation coastal areas continue to melt.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -44ºC as the sun quickly moves south.  This week the winter-like 1060 mb high pressure continued to build in the cold high elevation Greenland Plateau, thus reducing snowfall, but coastal storms and the AR pumped significant snow 2-7 m. The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively setting new records.  In see:

Central Europe and western Russia were cooled by a deep 974mb Kara Sea low. Siberia continued to cool as days become shorter.

 Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire danger:

The Northern Hemisphere continues to transition to fall after the Autumnal Equinox on 23 September.  The jet stream continues to intensify and move south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. We had heavy frost at my house at 9684 ft msl with nearby roofs covered by  frost.  This week  our Ten Mile peaks in Colorado now had their first heavy white coating.
Valentina Zharkova interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (1-4 m) with many areas receiving 10 to 50 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 20-50 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet continued in a strong, intense winter mode. It drives several large deep storms (934 to 980 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below-60 to -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A 938 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier dumping 124-207 cm on the glacier.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -25 to -44ºC setting records and grounding aircraft last month.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south.

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (30-105 cm). These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  Last week a large 959 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to Cape Town generating 13 m waves.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 6-16 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 128-224 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast 201-333 (mm) thus filling the rain forests on the West coast of the South Island. Note: this week the interior of Australia had satellite surface temperatures from 11 to 25ºC - spring is here!

 South America was warming, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (137-268 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (117-153 cm).   South Georgia Island had snows reaching57-108 cm this week.

Argentina and Brazil continue to warm,  yet, some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

A continent-spanning mass of polar cold is on course to barrel down from the Arctic region stating this weekeind, bringing temperatures crashing to at least 10C below normal for much of Europe. The cold front will traverse the UK on Friday afternoon, entering continental Europe early Saturday. The front will prove expansive, extending from the Baltic region to central France, and continuing its march east-southeast Sunday.  Snow is also in the forecast for the northern UK and Northern Ireland this weekend.
The Scottish Highlands could have received 15+ cm (6 inches) by Sunday.
A second cold air mass will then closely follow the first, maintaining temperatures some -7C below the norm across much o Europe.

Elsewhere, an unusual -19.9C (-3.8F) was registered in Oymyakon; -13.1C (8.4F) in Verkhoyansk.
A few weeks ago now, on September 23, Verkhoyansk posted a low of -10.1C (13.8F) which made for the town’s earliest -10C in almost 15 years, since the Sept 17 of 2008 (solar minimum of cycle 24).
Across northern Siberia, in particular, ‘blues’ have been the dominant feature since the onset of fall, hinting at a potentially harsh winter to come.
While shifting eastwards, across the Bering Straight and through Alaska, a new seasonal low has been observed in Canada, too: Tuesday’s low in Eureka, Nunavut plunged to -27.3C (-17.1F):
“Snow in the beginning of October is simply a bonus,” reported powder.com — and it could be a sign of things to come.
Mont Tremblant joins Whiteface and Mount Washington as eastern resorts to have received their first substantial snows of the season, with forecasters predicting a strong chance for multiple Nor’easters this winter given the developing El Niño event.

Cold Waves In Brazil To Pose Problems For Wheat Harvest
As reported by agricensus.com, three sequential cold waves are forecast to hit Brazil’s main agricultural area next week.
And while the accompanying rains are set to favor sowings of summer corn and soybean, the cool down is expected to pose serious problems for the country’s wheat harvest, continues the Agricensus report.
A mass of ‘blues’ is expected to drag itself up Argentina throughout the week, engulfing the likes of Paraguay by Wednesday and well-into Brazil by Thursday/Friday.
This is the threat posed this year, and was the reality of the past two falls/winters when numerous record-breaking freezes hammered key growing regions, leaving the likes of soybean, corn, sugarcane and coffee crops all decimated in their wake:

Heavy Snow At The Tetons, Wyoming
A powerful wintry storm impacted parts of Wyoming this week, resulting in the first heavy snowfalls of the season at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Grand Targhee.
Snow levels across the Tetons and Northwest Wyoming dipped as low as 7,500 feet on Tuesday, and resulted in well-over a foot accumulating at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. While on the west side of the Tetons, Grand Targhee received about a foot.

TEMPERATURE CRASH FOR EUROPE; + CLIMATE MODELS WRONG ON EAST PACIFIC: “WE DON’T KNOW WHY THIS COOLING IS HAPPENING”
3 days ago
Despite legacy media caterwaulings of “endless heat”, the winter of 2023-24 is all-but upon us and early indications point to it being truly brutal.
October has started mild for western Europe — the remnants of summer’s ‘global boiling’ is still rife here.
However, in a classic ‘swing between extremes‘ the west can expect a fierce mass of descending Arctic ‘blue’ starting around October 14, while simultaneously the east is due to flip ‘red’ (note also the cold descends well into North Africa):
Snow is even possible for Scotland and perhaps even northern England by next weekend.

23 EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF SOLAR PHYSICS AND CLIMATE SCIENCE CONTRADICT THE IPCC: THE SCIENCE IS NOT SETTLED
5 days ago
Dr. Connolly, lead author: "The IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”
The scientific review article looks at the role the Sun has played in ‘climate change’ over the last 150 years.
It finds that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) may have been premature in their conclusion that recent climate change is mostly caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.
The paper, written by 23 experts in the fields of solar physics and of climate science from 14 different countries, is published in the peer-reviewed journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (RAA).
Dr. Ronan Connolly, lead author of the study, at the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES):
“The IPCC is mandated to find a consensus on the causes of climate change. I understand the political usefulness of having a consensus view in that it makes things easier for politicians. However, science doesn’t work by consensus. In fact, science thrives best when scientists are allowed to disagree with each other and to investigate the various reasons for disagreement. I fear that by effectively only considering the datasets and studies that support their chosen narrative, the IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”

PHOENIX’S RECORD SUMMER WARMTH NOT REFLECTED IN SURROUNDING WEATHER STATION DATA
5 days ago
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so -- this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Cities have expanded substantially since 1833, replacing the native landscape with high heat capacity surfaces like buildings, pavement, and sources of waste heat. This leads to UHI warmth today of +10F or more, mostly at night.

Conflating the urban heat island with ‘global boiling’ is an easy win for the MSM, and it is demanded that they do so.
As the Herald’s report dutifully adds: “Prominent scientific institutions around the globe including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agree that the warming is caused mainly by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, NASA said.“
“See how that works?,” writes former NASA scientist Dr Roy Spencer. “A city has record warmth, so it must be due to global warming caused by burning fossil fuels.”
Dr Spencer says he is still trying to determine if he can use the ‘raw’ data to make such comparisons, since there are other data adjustments made in NOAA’s homogenization of the data that I’m not privy to.
One final point: The legacy media routinely parrots NOAA’s claim that these new high temperature records are based upon data extending back to 1895. In general, this is not true, notes Dr Spencer. Most of these station records don’t go back nearly that far. For the Phoenix Sky Harbor location, for example, the data starts in 1933. A few of 2023’s other “record hot cities” start dates are Miami, FL (1948), Houston, TX (1931), and Mobile, AL (1948).
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so — this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Spurious correlations and unsupportable conclusions, however, continue to be front and center of MSM rounds.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive
June 26, 2023 Cap Allon
Fear prevents us from thinking. The emotional panic that accompanies fear actually shuts down the prefrontal cortex –the rational thinking part– of our brains. A populace that stops thinking for itself is a populace that is easily led, easily manipulated and easily controlled.
https://electroverse.info/climate-fails-the-list-is-exhaustive/ 
To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising
For more than a century, sea levels have been dropping across the Northern European cities of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki — that was, until 2020 when the IPCC’s new AR6 Sea Level Projection Tool inexplicably promoted an all-round sea level rise.
The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.
https://clintel.org/thorough-analysis-by-clintel-shows-serious-errors-in-latest-ipcc-report/
Since this new IPCC computer modelling was released in 2020, ‘alarm’ has indeed been the prevailing messaging, with apocalyptic ‘flooding projections’ infecting every corner of the mainstream media.

8 October 2023   

COLORADO’S fall continues to provide spectacular colors, however, many leaves have fallen leaving grey and golden glades of aspen.  We are preparing for a harsh, very cold winter.

Intense cyclonic storms dominated the weather again this week.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  Five deep storms from the Gulf of Alaska to the Kara Sea controlled the warm and cold sectors. Another Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (972mb) dumped 120-182 cm on Iceland.   A deep 935 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic had heavy precipitation putting more water back on the land.     A deep 984 mb Aleutian Low pumped 1-3 m of new snow on the Mt. Logan Massif in a strong Atmospheric River - AR.  The Pacific NW had 100-200 mm in the Olympic Mountains with significant rains predicted again this week which will help the drought and fire situation.  The Sierra also received new snow this week, much earlier than normal.  Satellite images clearly show Atmospheric Rivers which contribute up to 70% of coastal precipitation in high latitudes.  Dr. Marty Ralph's team at the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes provides an outstanding web site with comprehensive forecasts of ARs.  See: https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/ 

A strong short wave and low pressure sat off the NY coast dumping heavy flooding rains in NYC severely disrupting travel as another TS  -  Philippe moved up the coast.  NE has had too much rain this summer and fall.

Many areas cooled below normal as Canadian Air Masses pushed south to the Gulf of Mexico.   Many short waves (extratropical cyclones with cold and warm fronts) continue to travel in the northern jet stream's meridional flow bringing fall-like weather to northern regions.  The Rockies had snow and snow showers at high elevations with 5-30 cm predicted.  Our Colorado Rockies had a significant coating of new snow above timberline ~11,000 ft (3353 m msl). Most of this melted this week.  More snow is predicted by the end of next week.

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

Our exceptionally strong el Niño has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.  NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB decreased to normal this week.  Low elevation coastal areas continue to melt.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -40ºC as the sun quickly moves south.  This week the winter-like 1052 mb high pressure continued to build in the cold high elevation Greenland Plateau, thus reducing snowfall.  The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively setting new records.  In see:

Central Europe and western Russia continued to be normal to above normal under a strong anticyclone - High pressure. Clear skies and comfortable temperatures prevailed. Siberia continued to cool as days become shorter. Europe will have a significant coolin by 15 October. The Kara Sea low pumped Arctic air south on it's western side.

 Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire danger:

The Northern Hemisphere continues to transition to fall after the Autumnal Equinox on 23 September.  The jet stream continues to intensify and move south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. We had heavy frost at my house at 9684 ft msl with nearby roofs covered by frost. 

Valentina Zharkova interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (78-123 cm) with many areas receiving 10 to 50 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 10-50 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet continued in a strong, intense winter mode. It drives several large deep storms (934 to 977 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below-60 to -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A 938 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier dumping 124-207 cm on the glacier.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -25 to -44ºC setting records and grounding aircraft last month.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south.

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (30-105 cm). These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  Last week a large 959 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to Cape Town generating 13 m waves.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 4-32 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 80-140 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast (120-212 mm) thus filling the rain forests on the West coast of the South Island. Note: this week the interior of Australia had satellite surface temperatures from 30 to 47ºC - spring is here!

South America was warming, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (80-132 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (200-339 cm).   South Georgia Island had snows reaching57-108 cm this week.

Argentina and Brazil continue to warm,  yet, some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

This will no doubt completely blindside the agitated warmists, who are all currently bewailing a natural and temporary warming spike.
September was colder than the 2013-2022 average in Iceland, it was cooler than the 1991 to 2020 norm, too.
Cold Waves In Brazil To Pose Problems For Wheat Harvest
As reported by agricensus.com, three sequential cold waves are forecast to hit Brazil’s main agricultural area next week.
And while the accompanying rains are set to favor sowings of summer corn and soybean, the cool down is expected to pose serious problems for the country’s wheat harvest, continues the Agricensus report.
A mass of ‘blues’ is expected to drag itself up Argentina throughout the week, engulfing the likes of Paraguay by Wednesday and well-into Brazil by Thursday/Friday.
This is the threat posed this year, and was the reality of the past two falls/winters when numerous record-breaking freezes hammered key growing regions, leaving the likes of soybean, corn, sugarcane and coffee crops all decimated in their wake:

Heavy Snow At The Tetons, Wyoming
A powerful wintry storm impacted parts of Wyoming this week, resulting in the first heavy snowfalls of the season at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Grand Targhee.
Snow levels across the Tetons and Northwest Wyoming dipped as low as 7,500 feet on Tuesday, and resulted in well-over a foot accumulating at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. While on the west side of the Tetons, Grand Targhee received about a foot.

TEMPERATURE CRASH FOR EUROPE; + CLIMATE MODELS WRONG ON EAST PACIFIC: “WE DON’T KNOW WHY THIS COOLING IS HAPPENING”

Despite legacy media caterwaulings of “endless heat”, the winter of 2023-24 is all-but upon us and early indications point to it being truly brutal.
October has started mild for western Europe — the remnants of summer’s ‘global boiling’ is still rife here.
However, in a classic ‘swing between extremes‘ the west can expect a fierce mass of descending Arctic ‘blue’ starting around October 14, while simultaneously the east is due to flip ‘red’ (note also the cold descends well into North Africa):

23 EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF SOLAR PHYSICS AND CLIMATE SCIENCE CONTRADICT THE IPCC: THE SCIENCE IS NOT SETTLED
5 days ago
Dr. Connolly, lead author: "The IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”
The scientific review article looks at the role the Sun has played in ‘climate change’ over the last 150 years.
It finds that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) may have been premature in their conclusion that recent climate change is mostly caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.
The paper, written by 23 experts in the fields of solar physics and of climate science from 14 different countries, is published in the peer-reviewed journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (RAA).

Dr. Ronan Connolly, lead author of the study, at the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES):
“The IPCC is mandated to find a consensus on the causes of climate change. I understand the political usefulness of having a consensus view in that it makes things easier for politicians. However, science doesn’t work by consensus. In fact, science thrives best when scientists are allowed to disagree with each other and to investigate the various reasons for disagreement. I fear that by effectively only considering the datasets and studies that support their chosen narrative, the IPCC have seriously hampered scientific progress into genuinely understanding the causes of recent and future climate change. I am particularly disturbed by their inability to satisfactorily explain the rural temperature trends.”

PHOENIX’S RECORD SUMMER WARMTH NOT REFLECTED IN SURROUNDING WEATHER STATION DATA
5 days ago
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so -- this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Cities have expanded substantially since 1833, replacing the native landscape with high heat capacity surfaces like buildings, pavement, and sources of waste heat. This leads to UHI warmth today of +10F or more, mostly at night.

Conflating the urban heat island with ‘global boiling’ is an easy win for the MSM, and it is demanded that they do so.
As the Herald’s report dutifully adds: “Prominent scientific institutions around the globe including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agree that the warming is caused mainly by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, NASA said.“
“See how that works?,” writes former NASA scientist Dr Roy Spencer. “A city has record warmth, so it must be due to global warming caused by burning fossil fuels.”

Dr Spencer says he is still trying to determine if he can use the ‘raw’ data to make such comparisons, since there are other data adjustments made in NOAA’s homogenization of the data that I’m not privy to.
One final point: The legacy media routinely parrots NOAA’s claim that these new high temperature records are based upon data extending back to 1895. In general, this is not true, notes Dr Spencer. Most of these station records don’t go back nearly that far. For the Phoenix Sky Harbor location, for example, the data starts in 1933. A few of 2023’s other “record hot cities” start dates are Miami, FL (1948), Houston, TX (1931), and Mobile, AL (1948).
Cities are hotter than their rural surroundings, and increasingly so — this is an undisputed yet rug-swept fact.
Spurious correlations and unsupportable conclusions, however, continue to be front and center of MSM rounds.

May Freeze Ruins Canada’s Apple-Picking; Nevada’s Cold-Weather Deaths At High Levels; + October Threatens Polar Blasts Across Both Hemispheres

May Frosts Ruins Canada’s Apple-Picking Season
https://electroverse.info/freeze-ruins-canadas-apple-picking-cold-weather-deaths-oct-polar-blasts/
“With this, we’re closed now for picking. We didn’t open in the fall at all,” said owner, Michel Villeneuve.
The apples that have grown, Villeneuve continued, while perfectly fine to eat, also aren’t the best looking — covered in marks from the sun and rain. The farm’s pears and grapes have also been badly affected.
A season’s last freeze typically occurs in April, before the fruit starts to bud. This year, however, the month of May delivered three separate nights of harsh, late-season frosts.

Waters in the Atlantic (where the majority of storms form) are holding warmer than normal with conventional wisdom stating that a “robust” hurricane season should indeed be in order. But at the same time, the developing El Niño increases something called ‘vertical wind shear’ which can tear storms apart as they form.
NOAA bet that this tug-of-war between high SSTs and a burgeoning El Niño would be won by the former, resulting in a hotbed of hurricane sin. But they look to have bet wrong.

Atlantic Hurricane Season’s Weakest Start In 30 Years
Back in May, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center predicted an “above-average hurricane activity year”. The agency’s outlook for the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, which extends from June 1 to Nov 30, saw a 65% chance of an above-normal season, a 25% chance of a near-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season.

Grand Solar Minimum: The Future Looks Cold
September 8, 2023 Cap Allon
[This is an updated version of an article originally published on electroverse.net. I’m currently travelling from Portugal to the UK, and will be back to it with new posts on Monday, September 11]
https://electroverse.info/grand-solar-minimum-the-future-looks-cold/
“From 1650 to 1710, temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere plunged when the Sun entered a quiet phase now called the Maunder Minimum. During this period, very few sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun, and the overall brightness of the Sun decreased slightly. Already in the midst of a colder-than-average period called the Little Ice Age, Europe and North America went into a deep freeze: alpine glaciers extended over valley farmland; sea ice crept south from the Arctic; and the famous canals in the Netherlands froze regularly—an event that is rare today.”

In recent years, the Sun has been at its weakest state in more than a century, with the two most recent solar cycles (24 and 25) on course to be the weakest pair in more than 200 years, since the Dalton Minimum.
Germany’s Solar Panel Disintegration
The solar industry in Germany is reporting that 15% of the country’s solar capacity is rapidly disintegrating.
This not only represents the wasting of many billions of Euros of tax payer funds, but also exposes the pathetic capacity–that even after decades of propaganda–the country was able to generate: 15% of German solar production represents just 10 GW.
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center Is Forecasting Zero Sunspots From 2035 Through 2040
September 7, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/noaa-zero-sunspots-2035-through-2040/   

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), who’s solar forecasts generally come out higher than NASA’s, are sticking with their originally prediction that it won’t be until mid-2025 before we see the peak of Solar Cycle 25 (SC25) with a sunspot max of 114.6:

Grand Solar Minimums
The deepest of GSMs can see the sunspot number hold at ZERO for multiple decades
The most famous example is the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715), a period that brought about plummeting temperatures, extensive crop loss, famine to vast swathes of the planet, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people to vast swathes of the planet.
Scientist Withholds “Full Truth” In Order To Get His Climate Change Paper Published In ‘Nature’
September 6, 2023 Cap Allon
Patrick Brown, a PhD climate scientist and co-director of the Climate and Energy Team at The Breakthrough Institute, recently had a paper accepted by the prestigious journal, Nature. However, in a lengthy X thread, Brown tells of sordid tale of omission, exaggeration and a narrative-backing bias in order to appease the journal’s editors.
https://electroverse.info/climate-scientist-withholds-full-truth/  

The paper Brown just got published, “Climate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California”, focuses exclusively on how climate change has affected extreme wildfire behavior. Brown says he knew not to try to quantify key aspects other than climate change because it would dilute the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival, Science, want to tell.
The number of researchers has skyrocketed in recent years–there are close to six times more PhDs earned in the U.S. each year than there were in the early 1960s–and so it has become increasingly difficult to stand out. So while there has always been a tremendous premium placed on publishing in journals like Nature and Science, it’s also become extraordinarily more competitive.

New Studies Suggest ‘Global Warming’ Is Mostly An Urban Phenomenon
September 5, 2023 Cap Allon
A new study by 37 researchers from 18 countries has come to the conclusion that the global temperature record has been contaminated by urban warming biases. It also suggests that the most recent IPCC reports underestimate the role of solar activity.
https://electroverse.info/global-warming-is-mostly-an-urban-phenomenon/
Thermometers in towns and cities read warmer than the countryside counterparts. This is irrefutable fact that even the IPCC concede.
While urban areas account for <4% of the global land surface, the majority of weather stations used in official global temperature calculations are located in metropolis settings. For this reason, a growing number of scientists are questioning mainstream global warming reckonings, asking, have they been contaminated by the urban heat island (UHI) effect?

WAVY JET STREAM DELIVERS EXTREME RAINS TO SE EUROPE; POLAR FRONT HITS AUSTRALIA; + CLIMATE LOCKDOWNS
September 5, 2023 Cap Allon
Wavy Jet Stream Delivers Extreme Rains To SE Europe
https://electroverse.info/wavy-jet-stream-rains-polar-australia-climate-lockdowns/
The rains, for many, persisted throughout the summer season, too, and helped suppress the wildfire season–which was another below-average one, according to the official data, continuing the multidecadal trend.
Worth noting, the same system inundating the SE–and SW–is also responsible for ‘dragging up’ Tropical warmth to central and western parts, into the likes of France, Germany and the UK which are all now enjoying something of an Indian Summer.
But take note alarmists, this setup doesn’t posses ‘the fingerprints of climate change’, as is regularly claimed. Rather, this is a ‘meridional’ (wavy) jet stream flow in action, one likely exacerbated by the cumulative impact of years of low solar activity which has led to less energy fueling the jets and, in turn, a breakdown of their usual tight and stable ‘zonal’ (west to east) flow.


Polar Front Hits Australia
Just as Australian resorts begin mothballing some of their winter operations, a fierce cold front is barreling into the southeast, one expected to deliver 50 cm (20 inches) of snow over the next 7-or-so days.
As reported by snowbrains.com, this cold outbreak could in fact be the coldest of the season for many areas, bringing low level snow and icy temperatures to swathes of the country, and possibly a dangerous squall line to western NSW on Thursday.
Ski runs at Hotham Alpine Resort saw a top up Monday as winter begins its comeback after what proved a warm August.
Mt Baw Baw in Victoria, which closed its slopes on Sunday, will see the biggest dumping with 50cm (20 inches) of snow expected. Thredbo Ski Resort in NSW is forecast some 20cm (8 inches) over the next seven days.

Temperatures in Victoria are already holding way below the freezing mark, and state resorts are seeing heavy snow. The snow line will drop to <500m (1,600ft) in Victoria over the coming days, to around 600m (1950ft) in NSW, and as low as 200m (650ft) in Tasmania.

What They Won’t Tell You: CO2 Emissions Are Declining
August 30, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/what-they-wont-tell-you-co2-emissions-are-declining/

Western nations have made the largest reductions in CO2 emissions in recent decades. Between 2005 and 2020, U.S. carbon emissions declined by 21.5%, which is 4.5 percentage points more than what America promised as part of its United Nations Paris Climate Change commitments (Kate Larsen et al.). This again goes largely unreported.

“It is a contrived scenario that maximizes future impacts,” notes Roger Pielke, who, with coauthors, performed a review of the scenarios literature and found that there is no scenario that can produce this combination of a pessimistic societal change and a pessimistic climate outcome.
The world is not on track for a high-emissions, low-GDP scenario, writes Micheal Shellenberger in a testimony before the Senate Budget Committee. Even models cannot produce that outcome. And yet many studies assume the world is on track for precisely that. “The combination of SSP3 and RCP8.5 was considered implausible by the SSP developers,” notes Pielke and a coauthor.
…..
But it must be stated, and in bold: All of this talk of carbon emissions and the related ‘scenarios’ is by-the-by, so states professor emeritus at Princeton, Dr. William Happer. Because while the AGW narrative argues that as people burn fossil fuels they emit higher concentrations of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which absorbs sunlight and creates a “greenhouse effect,” trapping the Sun’s radiation and warming the Earth, one key aspect of CO2 that everybody willingly ignores, and that global warming models fail to take into account, is a phenomenon called “saturation,” continues Happer, or the diminishing effect of atmospheric CO2 at higher concentrations.

Study: CO2 Molecules Have Little Consequential Impact On Outgoing Radiation; + Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
August 24, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/co2-molecules-have-little-impact-benefits-removed/

Russian physicists (Smirnov and Zhilyaev, 2021) had their peer-reviewed paper published in the Advances in Fundamental Physics Special Issue for the journal Foundations.
After a detailed assessing of the role of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere, they assert: “w”e have a contradiction with the results of climatological models in the analysis of the Earth’s greenhouse effect.”
Key points from the paper:

1. Climate model calculations of CO2’s impact on global temperatures are in error by a factor of 5 as a result of “ignoring, in climatological models, the fundamental Kirchhoff law” which says radiators are “simultaneously the absorbers.”
2. Change in the concentration of an optically active atmospheric component (like CO2) “would not lead to change in the outgoing radiative flux.”
3. CO2 molecules “are not the main radiator of the atmosphere.” Water vapor molecules are, and thus they “may be responsible for the observed heating of the Earth.”
Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
Once upon a time there were at least two sides to any story, but those days are dead. A UK exams body will no longer ask pupils to give explanations on the “positive” effects of climate change.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) made the update to the National 5 Geography course following pressure from the Scottish Green Party.

Temperature Crash In The Alps Leads To Additional Summer Snowfall; Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows; + “Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
August 28, 2023 Cap Allon
https://electroverse.info/alps-summer-snow-michigan-freezing-lows-mega-snowstorm-argentina-chile/

“The weather is now on the change,” said the alpine weather expert Fraser Wilkin of weathertoski.co.uk, “there will be some snow up on the glaciers, especially early in the week, when 50cm (20 inches) or more is possible.”
Despite mainstream bemoanings of ‘catastrophic heat’ and ‘glacial decline’, Austria’s Hintertux ski area has remained open this summer, as has Switzerland’s Zermatt and Saas-Fee, and also Italy’s Passp Stelvio resort.

Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows
The United States, overall, is experiencing a cooler than average summer — the data don’t lie, they’re just inconvenient.
But as seems to be the case across great swathes of the planet, ‘swings between extremes‘ is the dominant setup — and Michigan is no different: Following the burst heat and humidity of a few weeks ago, the weekend just gone saw the mercury crash below freezing.
“Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
Again, ‘swings between extremes‘ sums up South America’s winter — from record warmth, to record chills and exceptional snow totals.
A powerful winter storm has delivered in excess of 12 feet of snow to ski areas across the Andes.
Below are the top 4 totals to hit Argentina and Chile this week during what PowderQuest labelled a “mega snowstorm”:

1) Las Leñas, Argentina — 13 feet (4m)
2) Portillo, Chile — 8 feet (2.4m)
3) Valle Nevado, Chile — 5-6 feet (1.8m)
4) Catedral, Argentina — 4 feet (1.5m)

Heavy falls also hit southern Chilean resorts, with Corralco reporting almost 4 feet (1.2m) in the last 36 hours alone, and Nevados de Chillan noting 3.4 feet (1.05m).
Ski resorts up and down and around the Andes are celebrating the recent record-challenging totals as they suggest great business for the remainder of the season.
NOTE: this is consistent with the ECMWF model forecasts that I monitor: 260 to 550 cm over the past 11 days

‘Polar Blast’ Hits Australia
Another polar air mass is about to sweep up from the Southern Ocean and engulf much of Australia’s southeast.
Following what was a frosty August 17, during which a host of SE locales posted their lowest temperatures in years, the mercury will crash even harder over this coming weekend. Low readings have also already impacted ‘nearby’ New Caledonia, with Ile Mare posting a very chilly 5.7C (42.3F) on Thursday.

A strong cold front will spread over NSW Friday into Saturday, bringing snow, heavy at times, to the ranges. Accumulations down to 800m (2,600ft) are expected in southern and central NSW, while the line will hold at about 900m (2,900ft) in the state’s north.
Parts of Tasmania and Victoria will also be affected by blast as a record cold Antarctica unleashes fiercely frigid pockets of polar air.

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records
Antarctica is cooling. The data confirm it.
Temperatures at the bottom of the world have routinely broken all-time records in recent times.
Antarctica endured its coldest-ever ‘coreless winter’ (April-Sept) in 2021, then shivered through practically all of 2022, posting colder-than-average month after colder-than-average month, including the coldest November since 1987 and the latest -60C (-76F) on record — with the year culminating in the South Pole Station averaging just -49.5C (-51.7F); -0.4C below the norm.
The historic chill has spilled into 2023, too.
Back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year; in July it logged Earth’s lowest temperature since 2017; and now, in mid-August, it’s breaking multiple all-time cold records at stations across the continent.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.

IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising

The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.

2 October 2023   

Our second week of fall brought the most spectacular colors to Summit County, Colorado on 29 September and a record 91ºF in Denver.  Winds from an approaching Pacific storm that may bring our first snow at 3000m msl have blown off many aspen leaves.  We are preparing for a harsh very cold winter.

Intense cyclonic storms dominated the weather again this week.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  From the deep Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (972mb) that dumped 90-135 cm on Iceland to that 935 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic last week we had heavy precipitation putting more water back on the land.  A 938 mb storm SW of Cape Town produced 11 m waves.   A deep 962 mb Aleutian Low also pumped 1-2 m of new snow from the Mt. Logan Massif  to Vancouver.  The Pacific NW had 100-200 mm in the Olympic Mountains with significant rains predicted again this week which will help the drought and fire situation.  The Sierra also received new snow this week, much earlier than normal.

A strong short wave and low pressure sat off the NY coast dumping heavy flooding rains in NYC severely disrupting travel.

Many areas cooled below normal as Canadian Air Masses pushed south to the Gulf of Mexico.   Many short waves (extratropical cyclones with cold and warm fronts) continue to travel in the northern jet stream bringing fall-like weather to northern regions.  The Rockies had snow and snow showers at high elevations with 5-30 cm predicted.  Our Colorado Rockies had a significant coating of new snow above timberline ~11,000 ft (3353 m msl). Most of this melted this week.

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

Our exceptionally strong el Niño has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.  NCAR scientists are now calling for a severe winter.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB decreased to normal this week.  Low elevation coastal areas continue to melt.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -37ºC as the sun quickly moves south.  This week a winter-like 1044 mb high pressure build in the cold high elevation Greenland Plateau thus reducing snowfall.  The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively new records and has continued to be near record total accumulations.  In see:

Last week Morocco had a severe 6.9 earthquake that has killed thousands in the High Atlas SW of Marrakech   This week they were below normal. Spain and Morocco had a short wave/cut-off low that provided clouds and rainfall that cooled them.  This week a cold front and Mediterranean low will keep temperatures near to below normal. Libya had a heavy rainstorm that overtopped two large dams and created a catastrophic flood killing thousands.   Central Europe and western Russia continued to be normal to above normal under a strong anticyclone - High pressure. Clear skies and comfortable temperatures prevailed.

in the West, NWT continued to have large fires that caused the evacuation of over 20,00 people.  These fires in NW Canada persisted and expanded again this week with 75 w/m2 intensity.  Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire intensity:

The Northern Hemisphere continues to transition to fall with the Autumnal Equinox on 23 September.  The jet stream continues to intensify and move south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. We had heavy frost at my house at 9684 ft msl with nearby roofs covered by  frost.  Last week our Ten Mile peaks in Colorado had their first heavy white coating, which melted fast.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (57-110 cm) with many areas receiving 10 to 50 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 10-30 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet is in a strong, intense winter mode. It drives several large deep storms (938 to 977 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below-60 to -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A 938 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier dumping 124-207 cm on the glacier.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -35 to -44ºC setting records and grounding aircraft last month.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south.

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it and producing snow in the Snowy Range (30-105 cm). These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  Last week a large 959 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to Cape Town generating 13 m waves.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 0-17 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 53-94 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast (140-215 mm) thus filling the rain forests on the West coast of the South Island. Note: this week the interior of Australia had surface temperatures from 30 to 45ºC - spring is here!

 South America was warming, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (140-305 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (226-428 cm).   South Georgia Island had snows reaching 44-66 cm this week.

Argentina and Brazil continue to cool,  some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

“With this, we’re closed now for picking. We didn’t open in the fall at all,” said owner, Michel Villeneuve.
The apples that have grown, Villeneuve continued, while perfectly fine to eat, also aren’t the best looking — covered in marks from the sun and rain. The farm’s pears and grapes have also been badly affected.
A season’s last freeze typically occurs in April, before the fruit starts to bud. This year, however, the month of May delivered three separate nights of harsh, late-season frosts.

Waters in the Atlantic (where the majority of storms form) are holding warmer than normal with conventional wisdom stating that a “robust” hurricane season should indeed be in order. But at the same time, the developing El Niño increases something called ‘vertical wind shear’ which can tear storms apart as they form.
NOAA bet that this tug-of-war between high SSTs and a burgeoning El Niño would be won by the former, resulting in a hotbed of hurricane sin. But they look to have bet wrong.

Winter 2023-24 Forecasts Are All Trending Colder — Harsh Conditions Expected For North America And Europe
September 25, 2023 Cap Allon
Winter is around the corner and forecasts are being fine tuned. Latest modelling shows a shift to the colder, with multiple factors, such as El Niño, hinting at a frostier and snowier setup for the United States, Canada, Russia and Europe.

A strong Polar Vortex means a tight and stable circulation (jet stream) which keeps the cold polar air locked within the Arctic Circle, meaning milder conditions for the lower latitudes. A weak Polar Vortex does the opposite, the flow becomes ‘wavy’ and it has a harder time containing the cold air up north, with ‘outbreaks’ routinely spilling south into the likes of the U.S. and Europe.

Furthermore, Southern California held uncharacteristically cloudy this summer. And as the quote goes: “Clouds are the Earth’s sunshade, and if cloud cover changes for any reason, you have global warming — or global cooling.”
Those are the words of former NASA scientist Dr Roy Spencer,
What both of these official agency’s show is that Canada’s wildfires, against Trudeau’s proclamations, have been decreasing.

South Africa’s Record-Breaking Cold
Heavy snow has battered large areas of South Africa of late, with snowfall warnings issued for the Northern Cape, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal mountain ranges.
According to a recent ‘South African Weather Service’ report, a host of benchmarks were busted — eight on one day alone: These include the 4.1C (39.4F) logged at Cape Town–which smashed the previous record of 6.2C (43.2F); the -3.9C (25F) at Prince Albert–which bested the old record of -2.9C (26.8F); and the -4.5C (23.9F) at Graaff-Reinet–breaking the -4.2C (24.4F) set in the year 2000 — to name just three.

Factors Combine to Suggest A Powerful Arctic Outbreak (Polar Vortex) Could Strike This Winter
September 14, 2023 Cap Allon
Winter 2023-24 is approaching, and a new Polar Vortex is strengthening in the Stratosphere over the North Pole.
https://electroverse.info/arctic-outbreak-polar-vortex-this-winter/  
As we head into autumn, the Sun gets lower and the polar regions begin to cool as there is less energy to fuel them.
However, as polar temperatures drop, the atmosphere further south remains relatively warm. This causes a strong temperature difference between the polar and sub-tropical regions, and a large low-pressure (cyclonic) circulation starts to develop across the Northern Hemisphere, extending from the surface layers to high up into the atmosphere — the ‘Polar Vortex’.

Grand Solar Minimum: The Future Looks Cold
September 8, 2023 Cap Allon
[This is an updated version of an article originally published on electroverse.net. I’m currently travelling from Portugal to the UK, and will be back to it with new posts on Monday, September 11]
https://electroverse.info/grand-solar-minimum-the-future-looks-cold/
“From 1650 to 1710, temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere plunged when the Sun entered a quiet phase now called the Maunder Minimum. During this period, very few sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun, and the overall brightness of the Sun decreased slightly. Already in the midst of a colder-than-average period called the Little Ice Age, Europe and North America went into a deep freeze: alpine glaciers extended over valley farmland; sea ice crept south from the Arctic; and the famous canals in the Netherlands froze regularly—an event that is rare today.”

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center Is Forecasting Zero Sunspots From 2035 Through 2040

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), who’s solar forecasts generally come out higher than NASA’s, are sticking with their originally prediction that it won’t be until mid-2025 before we see the peak of Solar Cycle 25 (SC25) with a sunspot max of 114.6:

Scientist Withholds “Full Truth” In Order To Get His Climate Change Paper Published In ‘Nature’
September 6, 2023 Cap Allon
Patrick Brown, a PhD climate scientist and co-director of the Climate and Energy Team at The Breakthrough Institute, recently had a paper accepted by the prestigious journal, Nature. However, in a lengthy X thread, Brown tells of sordid tale of omission, exaggeration and a narrative-backing bias in order to appease the journal’s editors.
https://electroverse.info/climate-scientist-withholds-full-truth/  

The paper Brown just got published, “Climate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California”, focuses exclusively on how climate change has affected extreme wildfire behavior. Brown says he knew not to try to quantify key aspects other than climate change because it would dilute the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival, Science, want to tell.
The number of researchers has skyrocketed in recent years–there are close to six times more PhDs earned in the U.S. each year than there were in the early 1960s–and so it has become increasingly difficult to stand out. So while there has always been a tremendous premium placed on publishing in journals like Nature and Science, it’s also become extraordinarily more competitive.

New Studies Suggest ‘Global Warming’ Is Mostly An Urban Phenomenon
September 5, 2023 Cap Allon
A new study by 37 researchers from 18 countries has come to the conclusion that the global temperature record has been contaminated by urban warming biases. It also suggests that the most recent IPCC reports underestimate the role of solar activity.
https://electroverse.info/global-warming-is-mostly-an-urban-phenomenon/
Thermometers in towns and cities read warmer than the countryside counterparts. This is irrefutable fact that even the IPCC concede.
While urban areas account for <4% of the global land surface, the majority of weather stations used in official global temperature calculations are located in metropolis settings. For this reason, a growing number of scientists are questioning mainstream global warming reckonings, asking, have they been contaminated by the urban heat island (UHI) effect?

WAVY JET STREAM DELIVERS EXTREME RAINS TO SE EUROPE; POLAR FRONT HITS AUSTRALIA; + CLIMATE LOCKDOWNSSeptember 5, 2023 Cap Allon
Wavy Jet Stream Delivers Extreme Rains To SE Europe
https://electroverse.info/wavy-jet-stream-rains-polar-australia-climate-lockdowns/
The rains, for many, persisted throughout the summer season, too, and helped suppress the wildfire season–which was another below-average one, according to the official data, continuing the multidecadal trend.
Worth noting, the same system inundating the SE–and SW–is also responsible for ‘dragging up’ Tropical warmth to central and western parts, into the likes of France, Germany and the UK which are all now enjoying something of an Indian Summer.
But take note alarmists, this setup doesn’t posses ‘the fingerprints of climate change’, as is regularly claimed. Rather, this is a ‘meridional’ (wavy) jet stream flow in action, one likely exacerbated by the cumulative impact of years of low solar activity which has led to less energy fueling the jets and, in turn, a breakdown of their usual tight and stable ‘zonal’ (west to east) flow.


Polar Front Hits Australia
Just as Australian resorts begin mothballing some of their winter operations, a fierce cold front is barreling into the southeast, one expected to deliver 50 cm (20 inches) of snow over the next 7-or-so days.
As reported by snowbrains.com, this cold outbreak could in fact be the coldest of the season for many areas, bringing low level snow and icy temperatures to swathes of the country, and possibly a dangerous squall line to western NSW on Thursday.
Ski runs at Hotham Alpine Resort saw a top up Monday as winter begins its comeback after what proved a warm August.
Mt Baw Baw in Victoria, which closed its slopes on Sunday, will see the biggest dumping with 50cm (20 inches) of snow expected. Thredbo Ski Resort in NSW is forecast some 20cm (8 inches) over the next seven days.

Temperatures in Victoria are already holding way below the freezing mark, and state resorts are seeing heavy snow. The snow line will drop to <500m (1,600ft) in Victoria over the coming days, to around 600m (1950ft) in NSW, and as low as 200m (650ft) in Tasmania.

What They Won’t Tell You: CO2 Emissions Are Declining
August 30, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/what-they-wont-tell-you-co2-emissions-are-declining/

Western nations have made the largest reductions in CO2 emissions in recent decades. Between 2005 and 2020, U.S. carbon emissions declined by 21.5%, which is 4.5 percentage points more than what America promised as part of its United Nations Paris Climate Change commitments (Kate Larsen et al.). This again goes largely unreported.

“It is a contrived scenario that maximizes future impacts,” notes Roger Pielke, who, with coauthors, performed a review of the scenarios literature and found that there is no scenario that can produce this combination of a pessimistic societal change and a pessimistic climate outcome.
The world is not on track for a high-emissions, low-GDP scenario, writes Micheal Shellenberger in a testimony before the Senate Budget Committee. Even models cannot produce that outcome. And yet many studies assume the world is on track for precisely that. “The combination of SSP3 and RCP8.5 was considered implausible by the SSP developers,” notes Pielke and a coauthor.
…..
But it must be stated, and in bold: All of this talk of carbon emissions and the related ‘scenarios’ is by-the-by, so states professor emeritus at Princeton, Dr. William Happer. Because while the AGW narrative argues that as people burn fossil fuels they emit higher concentrations of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which absorbs sunlight and creates a “greenhouse effect,” trapping the Sun’s radiation and warming the Earth, one key aspect of CO2 that everybody willingly ignores, and that global warming models fail to take into account, is a phenomenon called “saturation,” continues Happer, or the diminishing effect of atmospheric CO2 at higher concentrations.

Study: CO2 Molecules Have Little Consequential Impact On Outgoing Radiation; + Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
August 24, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/co2-molecules-have-little-impact-benefits-removed/

Russian physicists (Smirnov and Zhilyaev, 2021) had their peer-reviewed paper published in the Advances in Fundamental Physics Special Issue for the journal Foundations.
After a detailed assessing of the role of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere, they assert: “w”e have a contradiction with the results of climatological models in the analysis of the Earth’s greenhouse effect.”
Key points from the paper:

1. Climate model calculations of CO2’s impact on global temperatures are in error by a factor of 5 as a result of “ignoring, in climatological models, the fundamental Kirchhoff law” which says radiators are “simultaneously the absorbers.”
2. Change in the concentration of an optically active atmospheric component (like CO2) “would not lead to change in the outgoing radiative flux.”
3. CO2 molecules “are not the main radiator of the atmosphere.” Water vapor molecules are, and thus they “may be responsible for the observed heating of the Earth.”
Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
Once upon a time there were at least two sides to any story, but those days are dead. A UK exams body will no longer ask pupils to give explanations on the “positive” effects of climate change.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) made the update to the National 5 Geography course following pressure from the Scottish Green Party.

Temperature Crash In The Alps Leads To Additional Summer Snowfall; Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows; + “Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
August 28, 2023 Cap Allon
https://electroverse.info/alps-summer-snow-michigan-freezing-lows-mega-snowstorm-argentina-chile/

“The weather is now on the change,” said the alpine weather expert Fraser Wilkin of weathertoski.co.uk, “there will be some snow up on the glaciers, especially early in the week, when 50cm (20 inches) or more is possible.”
Despite mainstream bemoanings of ‘catastrophic heat’ and ‘glacial decline’, Austria’s Hintertux ski area has remained open this summer, as has Switzerland’s Zermatt and Saas-Fee, and also Italy’s Passp Stelvio resort.

Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows
The United States, overall, is experiencing a cooler than average summer — the data don’t lie, they’re just inconvenient.
But as seems to be the case across great swathes of the planet, ‘swings between extremes‘ is the dominant setup — and Michigan is no different: Following the burst heat and humidity of a few weeks ago, the weekend just gone saw the mercury crash below freezing.
“Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
Again, ‘swings between extremes‘ sums up South America’s winter — from record warmth, to record chills and exceptional snow totals.
A powerful winter storm has delivered in excess of 12 feet of snow to ski areas across the Andes.
Below are the top 4 totals to hit Argentina and Chile this week during what PowderQuest labelled a “mega snowstorm”:

1) Las Leñas, Argentina — 13 feet (4m)
2) Portillo, Chile — 8 feet (2.4m)
3) Valle Nevado, Chile — 5-6 feet (1.8m)
4) Catedral, Argentina — 4 feet (1.5m)

Heavy falls also hit southern Chilean resorts, with Corralco reporting almost 4 feet (1.2m) in the last 36 hours alone, and Nevados de Chillan noting 3.4 feet (1.05m).
Ski resorts up and down and around the Andes are celebrating the recent record-challenging totals as they suggest great business for the remainder of the season.
NOTE: this is consistent with the ECMWF model forecasts that I monitor: 260 to 550 cm over the past 11 days
Heavy Snow Revives New Zealand’s Ruapehu Resort; Banff, Alberta Reports First Snowfall Of The Season; + Low Sunspot Count

New Zealand’s Ruapehu ski field has been blasted with healthy dumpings of snow. Record snow, in fact, has crowned the North Island mountain, according to 1news.co.nz: Ruapehu is boasting the world’s deepest snow base, at 2.55cm (8.4ft).
Banff, Alberta Reports First Snowfall
The memory of North America’s histprically snowy winter of 2022/23 is still fresh, yet already a myriad of mountains are receiving their first snows of the new season, including Sunshine Village Ski Area, in Banff, Alberta.

‘Polar Blast’ Hits Australia
Another polar air mass is about to sweep up from the Southern Ocean and engulf much of Australia’s southeast.
Following what was a frosty August 17, during which a host of SE locales posted their lowest temperatures in years, the mercury will crash even harder over this coming weekend. Low readings have also already impacted ‘nearby’ New Caledonia, with Ile Mare posting a very chilly 5.7C (42.3F) on Thursday.

A strong cold front will spread over NSW Friday into Saturday, bringing snow, heavy at times, to the ranges. Accumulations down to 800m (2,600ft) are expected in southern and central NSW, while the line will hold at about 900m (2,900ft) in the state’s north.
Parts of Tasmania and Victoria will also be affected by blast as a record cold Antarctica unleashes fiercely frigid pockets of polar air.

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records; + The BBC Attempts To Rewrite The History Books

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records
Antarctica is cooling. The data confirm it.
Temperatures at the bottom of the world have routinely broken all-time records in recent times.
Antarctica endured its coldest-ever ‘coreless winter’ (April-Sept) in 2021, then shivered through practically all of 2022, posting colder-than-average month after colder-than-average month, including the coldest November since 1987 and the latest -60C (-76F) on record — with the year culminating in the South Pole Station averaging just -49.5C (-51.7F); -0.4C below the norm.
The historic chill has spilled into 2023, too.
Back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year; in July it logged Earth’s lowest temperature since 2017; and now, in mid-August, it’s breaking multiple all-time cold records at stations across the continent.

The MSM’s refusal to report realities such as the following are testament to the agenda at play.
Snow is lingering at Alta Ski Area, Utah in mid-August — an exceptional 2 feet!
Switching to Colorado, Keystone Resort has gone and bested its previous record for the latest date ever snow tubed:

Keystone ‘s old record was August 6, but this year, thanks to the historic snow and great preservation work, the hill is still sliding strong with a goal to keep snow tubing running as late as Labor Day.

Barrier Reef Holding On To Record Coral Gains
Like the now stonewalled scares of extinct polar bears and an ice-free Arctic, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has gone the same way. MSM-peddled doomsday predictions have once again been proven pitifully inaccurate.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive
June 26, 2023 Cap Allon
Fear prevents us from thinking. The emotional panic that accompanies fear actually shuts down the prefrontal cortex –the rational thinking part– of our brains. A populace that stops thinking for itself is a populace that is easily led, easily manipulated and easily controlled.

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising
For more than a century, sea levels have been dropping across the Northern European cities of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki — that was, until 2020 when the IPCC’s new AR6 Sea Level Projection Tool inexplicably promoted an all-round sea level rise.
The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.

25 September 2023

 

BEAUTIFUL fall weather greeted the Fall Equinox with changing aspen leaves and blue skies in Colorado.  Heavy frost with temperatures down to 27ºF covered Summit County quickening the turning colors.

 

Intense cyclonic storms dominated the weather again this week.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  From the deep Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (972mb) that dumped 260 cm on Iceland to that 935 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic last week we had heavy precipitation putting more water back on the land.   A deep 962 mb Aleutian Low also pumped 1-2 m of new snow from the Mt. Logan Massif  to Vancouver.  The Pacific NW had 100-200 mm in the Olympic Mountains with significant rains predicted again this week which will help the drought and fire situation.

 

Tropical Storm Ophelia hit the SE from SC to Virginia and up the coast to NE.  
It produced locally heavy rains and flooding.

 

Note that while Ophelia captured the news, more important extratropical cyclones in the N Atlantic, N Pacific and Southern Ocean were much more powerful and increased glaciers significantly.

 

Many areas cooled below normal as Canadian Air Masses pushed south to the Gulf of Mexico.   Many short waves (extratropical cyclones with cold and warm fronts) continue to travel in the northern jet stream bringing fall-like weather to northern regions.  The Rockies had snow and snow showers at high elevations with 5-30 cm predicted.  Our Colorado Rockies had a significant coating of new snow above timberline ~11,000 ft (3353 m msl). Most of this melted this week.

 

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

 

Our exceptionally strong el Niño has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.

 

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

 

Greenland’s daily SMB decreased to normal this week.  Low elevation coastal areas continue to melt.  Temperatures atop Greenland continued to fall to -30ºC as the sun quickly moves south.  The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively new records and has continued to be near record total accumulations.  In see:
 
http://polarportal.dk/en/greenland/surface-conditions/

 

Last week Morocco had a severe 6.9 earthquake that has killed thousands in the High Atlas SW of Marrakech   This week they were below normal. Spain and Morocco had a short wave/cut-off low that provided clouds and rainfall that cooled them.  This week a cold front and Mediterranean low will keep temperatures near to below normal. Libya had a heavy rainstorm that overtopped two large dams and created a catastrophic flood killing thousands.   Central Europe and western Russia continued to be normal to above normal under a strong anticyclone - High pressure. Clear skies and comfortable temperatures prevailed.

 

in the West, NWT continued to have large fires that caused the evacuation of over 20,00 people.  These fires in NW Canada persisted and expanded again this week with 75 w/m2 intensity.  Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire intensity:

 

https://www.windy.com/-Fire-intensity-fires?fires,48.980,-79.893,4,i:pressure,m:e8ead2B  

 

The Northern Hemisphere continues to transition to fall  with the Autumnal Equinox coming on 23 September.  The jet stream continues to intensify and move south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. We had heavy frost at my house at 9684 ft msl with nearby roofs covered by  frost.  Today, our Ten Mile peaks in Colorado now had their first heavy white coating, which melted fast.

 

Valentina Zharkova interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

 

The Himalayas continued notable snows (101-157cm) with many areas receiving 10 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 10-30 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

 

Southern hemisphere jet is in a strong intense winter mode. It drives several large deep storms (938 to 977 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below-60 to -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A 947 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier dumping 124-207 cm on the glacier.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -35 to -44ºC setting records and grounding aircraft.  Temperatures in the Antarctic are slowly warming as the sun moves south.

 

Southern Africa set cold records and snow as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it. These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 959 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to Cape Town generating 13 m waves.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 0-17 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 54-135 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast (209-550 mm) thus filling the rain forests on the West coast of the South Island.

 

 South America was warming, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (124-207 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (120-221cm).   South Georgia Island had snows reaching 100-203 cm this week.

 

Argentina and Brazil began warming,  some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

Winter 2023-24 Forecasts Are All Trending Colder — Harsh Conditions Expected For North America And Europe
September 25, 2023 Cap Allon
Winter is around the corner and forecasts are being fine tuned. Latest modelling shows a shift to the colder, with multiple factors, such as El Niño, hinting at a frostier and snowier setup for the United States, Canada, Russia and Europe.
https://electroverse.info/winter-2023-24-forecasts-trending-colder/

  
A strong Polar Vortex means a tight and stable circulation (jet stream) which keeps the cold polar air locked within the Arctic Circle, meaning milder conditions for the lower latitudes. A weak Polar Vortex does the opposite, the flow becomes ‘wavy’ and it has a harder time containing the cold air up north, with ‘outbreaks’ routinely spilling south into the likes of the U.S. and Europe.

“[Tonga’s record-high eruption] blew something like a trillion tons of water into the upper atmosphere … increasing the water vapor in the Stratosphere by 10%. We talk about greenhouse gases increasing by one or two one-hundredths of a percent causing global climate change, and here we had a volcano that increased the water content of the stratosphere by 10%.”

Overall, the Golden State witnessed its coolest summer since 2011, according to the Western Regional Climate Center. Southern California held particularly cool throughout the summer months, which Center researcher, Dan McEvoy, explained was due to the lingering of low-pressure systems over the region and also the cooling effect of Hurricane Hilary.

 

Furthermore, Southern California held uncharacteristically cloudy this summer. And as the quote goes: “Clouds are the Earth’s sunshade, and if cloud cover changes for any reason, you have global warming — or global cooling.”
Those are the words of former NASA scientist Dr Roy Spencer,
What both of these official agency’s show is that Canada’s wildfires, against Trudeau’s proclamations, have been decreasing.

South Africa’s Record-Breaking Cold
Heavy snow has battered large areas of South Africa of late, with snowfall warnings issued for the Northern Cape, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal mountain ranges.
According to a recent ‘South African Weather Service’ report, a host of benchmarks were busted — eight on one day alone: These include the 4.1C (39.4F) logged at Cape Town–which smashed the previous record of 6.2C (43.2F); the -3.9C (25F) at Prince Albert–which bested the old record of -2.9C (26.8F); and the -4.5C (23.9F) at Graaff-Reinet–breaking the -4.2C (24.4F) set in the year 2000 — to name just three.

 

First Snow Of The Season Hits Colorado Rockies
Colorado’s highest peaks received their first snows of the season last week, but now flakes are falling at ‘pass-levels’, too.
Over the weekend, sizable dumpings were noted at Hoosier Pass:
Flakes Return To Finland
Snowy conditions are also set to make a return to Scandinavia this week, namely Finland.
A low pressure system is forecast to ride north and clash with a descending mass of polar air.

 

Factors Combine to Suggest A Powerful Arctic Outbreak (Polar Vortex) Could Strike This Winter
September 14, 2023 Cap Allon
Winter 2023-24 is approaching, and a new Polar Vortex is strengthening in the Stratosphere over the North Pole.
https://electroverse.info/arctic-outbreak-polar-vortex-this-winter/  
As we head into autumn, the Sun gets lower and the polar regions begin to cool as there is less energy to fuel them.
However, as polar temperatures drop, the atmosphere further south remains relatively warm. This causes a strong temperature difference between the polar and sub-tropical regions, and a large low-pressure (cyclonic) circulation starts to develop across the Northern Hemisphere, extending from the surface layers to high up into the atmosphere — the ‘Polar Vortex’.

Grand Solar Minimum: The Future Looks Cold
September 8, 2023 Cap Allon
[This is an updated version of an article originally published on electroverse.net. I’m currently travelling from Portugal to the UK, and will be back to it with new posts on Monday, September 11]
https://electroverse.info/grand-solar-minimum-the-future-looks-cold/ 

“From 1650 to 1710, temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere plunged when the Sun entered a quiet phase now called the Maunder Minimum. During this period, very few sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun, and the overall brightness of the Sun decreased slightly. Already in the midst of a colder-than-average period called the Little Ice Age, Europe and North America went into a deep freeze: alpine glaciers extended over valley farmland; sea ice crept south from the Arctic; and the famous canals in the Netherlands froze regularly—an event that is rare today.”

ANTARCTICA’S COLDEST SEPTEMBER TEMPERATURE SINCE 2012; GERMANY’S SOLAR PANEL DISINTEGRATION; THE WRATH OF THE CLIMATARIAT DESCENDS ON DR PATRICK BROWN; + SUNSPOT ERUPTION

In recent years, the Sun has been at its weakest state in more than a century, with the two most recent solar cycles (24 and 25) on course to be the weakest pair in more than 200 years, since the Dalton Minimum.
Germany’s Solar Panel Disintegration
The solar industry in Germany is reporting that 15% of the country’s solar capacity is rapidly disintegrating.
This not only represents the wasting of many billions of Euros of tax payer funds, but also exposes the pathetic capacity–that even after decades of propaganda–the country was able to generate: 15% of German solar production represents just 10 GW.
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center Is Forecasting Zero Sunspots From 2035 Through 2040
September 7, 2023 Cap Allon

 

https://electroverse.info/noaa-zero-sunspots-2035-through-2040/   

 

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), who’s solar forecasts generally come out higher than NASA’s, are sticking with their originally prediction that it won’t be until mid-2025 before we see the peak of Solar Cycle 25 (SC25) with a sunspot max of 114.6:

 

Grand Solar Minimums
The deepest of GSMs can see the sunspot number hold at ZERO for multiple decades
The most famous example is the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715), a period that brought about plummeting temperatures, extensive crop loss, famine to vast swathes of the planet, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people to vast swathes of the planet.
Scientist Withholds “Full Truth” In Order To Get His Climate Change Paper Published In ‘Nature’
September 6, 2023 Cap Allon
Patrick Brown, a PhD climate scientist and co-director of the Climate and Energy Team at The Breakthrough Institute, recently had a paper accepted by the prestigious journal, Nature. However, in a lengthy X thread, Brown tells of sordid tale of omission, exaggeration and a narrative-backing bias in order to appease the journal’s editors.
https://electroverse.info/climate-scientist-withholds-full-truth/  

 

The paper Brown just got published, “Climate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California”, focuses exclusively on how climate change has affected extreme wildfire behavior. Brown says he knew not to try to quantify key aspects other than climate change because it would dilute the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival, Science, want to tell.
The number of researchers has skyrocketed in recent years–there are close to six times more PhDs earned in the U.S. each year than there were in the early 1960s–and so it has become increasingly difficult to stand out. So while there has always been a tremendous premium placed on publishing in journals like Nature and Science, it’s also become extraordinarily more competitive.

 

New Studies Suggest ‘Global Warming’ Is Mostly An Urban Phenomenon
September 5, 2023 Cap Allon
A new study by 37 researchers from 18 countries has come to the conclusion that the global temperature record has been contaminated by urban warming biases. It also suggests that the most recent IPCC reports underestimate the role of solar activity.
https://electroverse.info/global-warming-is-mostly-an-urban-phenomenon/
Thermometers in towns and cities read warmer than the countryside counterparts. This is irrefutable fact that even the IPCC concede.
While urban areas account for <4% of the global land surface, the majority of weather stations used in official global temperature calculations are located in metropolis settings. For this reason, a growing number of scientists are questioning mainstream global warming reckonings, asking, have they been contaminated by the urban heat island (UHI) effect?

 

WAVY JET STREAM DELIVERS EXTREME RAINS TO SE EUROPE; POLAR FRONT HITS AUSTRALIA; + CLIMATE LOCKDOWNSSeptember 5, 2023 Cap Allon
Wavy Jet Stream Delivers Extreme Rains To SE Europe
https://electroverse.info/wavy-jet-stream-rains-polar-australia-climate-lockdowns/ 

The rains, for many, persisted throughout the summer season, too, and helped suppress the wildfire season–which was another below-average one, according to the official data, continuing the multidecadal trend.
Worth noting, the same system inundating the SE–and SW–is also responsible for ‘dragging up’ Tropical warmth to central and western parts, into the likes of France, Germany and the UK which are all now enjoying something of an Indian Summer.
But take note alarmists, this setup doesn’t posses ‘the fingerprints of climate change’, as is regularly claimed. Rather, this is a ‘meridional’ (wavy) jet stream flow in action, one likely exacerbated by the cumulative impact of years of low solar activity which has led to less energy fueling the jets and, in turn, a breakdown of their usual tight and stable ‘zonal’ (west to east) flow.

 


Polar Front Hits Australia
Just as Australian resorts begin mothballing some of their winter operations, a fierce cold front is barreling into the southeast, one expected to deliver 50 cm (20 inches) of snow over the next 7-or-so days.
As reported by snowbrains.com, this cold outbreak could in fact be the coldest of the season for many areas, bringing low level snow and icy temperatures to swathes of the country, and possibly a dangerous squall line to western NSW on Thursday.
Ski runs at Hotham Alpine Resort saw a top up Monday as winter begins its comeback after what proved a warm August.
Mt Baw Baw in Victoria, which closed its slopes on Sunday, will see the biggest dumping with 50cm (20 inches) of snow expected. Thredbo Ski Resort in NSW is forecast some 20cm (8 inches) over the next seven days.

 

Temperatures in Victoria are already holding way below the freezing mark, and state resorts are seeing heavy snow. The snow line will drop to <500m (1,600ft) in Victoria over the coming days, to around 600m (1950ft) in NSW, and as low as 200m (650ft) in Tasmania.

 

What They Won’t Tell You: CO2 Emissions Are Declining
August 30, 2023 Cap Allon

 

https://electroverse.info/what-they-wont-tell-you-co2-emissions-are-declining/

 

Western nations have made the largest reductions in CO2 emissions in recent decades. Between 2005 and 2020, U.S. carbon emissions declined by 21.5%, which is 4.5 percentage points more than what America promised as part of its United Nations Paris Climate Change commitments (Kate Larsen et al.). This again goes largely unreported.

 

“It is a contrived scenario that maximizes future impacts,” notes Roger Pielke, who, with coauthors, performed a review of the scenarios literature and found that there is no scenario that can produce this combination of a pessimistic societal change and a pessimistic climate outcome.
The world is not on track for a high-emissions, low-GDP scenario, writes Micheal Shellenberger in a testimony before the Senate Budget Committee. Even models cannot produce that outcome. And yet many studies assume the world is on track for precisely that. “The combination of SSP3 and RCP8.5 was considered implausible by the SSP developers,” notes Pielke and a coauthor.
…..
But it must be stated, and in bold: All of this talk of carbon emissions and the related ‘scenarios’ is by-the-by, so states professor emeritus at Princeton, Dr. William Happer. Because while the AGW narrative argues that as people burn fossil fuels they emit higher concentrations of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which absorbs sunlight and creates a “greenhouse effect,” trapping the Sun’s radiation and warming the Earth, one key aspect of CO2 that everybody willingly ignores, and that global warming models fail to take into account, is a phenomenon called “saturation,” continues Happer, or the diminishing effect of atmospheric CO2 at higher concentrations.

 

Study: CO2 Molecules Have Little Consequential Impact On Outgoing Radiation; + Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
August 24, 2023 Cap Allon

 

https://electroverse.info/co2-molecules-have-little-impact-benefits-removed/

 

Russian physicists (Smirnov and Zhilyaev, 2021) had their peer-reviewed paper published in the Advances in Fundamental Physics Special Issue for the journal Foundations.
After a detailed assessing of the role of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere, they assert: “w”e have a contradiction with the results of climatological models in the analysis of the Earth’s greenhouse effect.”
Key points from the paper:

1. Climate model calculations of CO2’s impact on global temperatures are in error by a factor of 5 as a result of “ignoring, in climatological models, the fundamental Kirchhoff law” which says radiators are “simultaneously the absorbers.”
2. Change in the concentration of an optically active atmospheric component (like CO2) “would not lead to change in the outgoing radiative flux.”
3. CO2 molecules “are not the main radiator of the atmosphere.” Water vapor molecules are, and thus they “may be responsible for the observed heating of the Earth.”
Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
Once upon a time there were at least two sides to any story, but those days are dead. A UK exams body will no longer ask pupils to give explanations on the “positive” effects of climate change.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) made the update to the National 5 Geography course following pressure from the Scottish Green Party.

Temperature Crash In The Alps Leads To Additional Summer Snowfall; Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows; + “Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
August 28, 2023 Cap Allon
https://electroverse.info/alps-summer-snow-michigan-freezing-lows-mega-snowstorm-argentina-chile/

 

“The weather is now on the change,” said the alpine weather expert Fraser Wilkin of weathertoski.co.uk, “there will be some snow up on the glaciers, especially early in the week, when 50cm (20 inches) or more is possible.”
Despite mainstream bemoanings of ‘catastrophic heat’ and ‘glacial decline’, Austria’s Hintertux ski area has remained open this summer, as has Switzerland’s Zermatt and Saas-Fee, and also Italy’s Passp Stelvio resort.

 

Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows
The United States, overall, is experiencing a cooler than average summer — the data don’t lie, they’re just inconvenient.
But as seems to be the case across great swathes of the planet, ‘swings between extremes‘ is the dominant setup — and Michigan is no different: Following the burst heat and humidity of a few weeks ago, the weekend just gone saw the mercury crash below freezing.
“Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
Again, ‘swings between extremes‘ sums up South America’s winter — from record warmth, to record chills and exceptional snow totals.
A powerful winter storm has delivered in excess of 12 feet of snow to ski areas across the Andes.
Below are the top 4 totals to hit Argentina and Chile this week during what PowderQuest labelled a “mega snowstorm”:

1) Las Leñas, Argentina — 13 feet (4m)
2) Portillo, Chile — 8 feet (2.4m)
3) Valle Nevado, Chile — 5-6 feet (1.8m)
4) Catedral, Argentina — 4 feet (1.5m)

Heavy falls also hit southern Chilean resorts, with Corralco reporting almost 4 feet (1.2m) in the last 36 hours alone, and Nevados de Chillan noting 3.4 feet (1.05m).
Ski resorts up and down and around the Andes are celebrating the recent record-challenging totals as they suggest great business for the remainder of the season.
NOTE: this is consistent with the ECMWF model forecasts that I monitor: 260 to 550 cm over the past 11 days

‘Polar Blast’ Hits Australia
Another polar air mass is about to sweep up from the Southern Ocean and engulf much of Australia’s southeast.
Following what was a frosty August 17, during which a host of SE locales posted their lowest temperatures in years, the mercury will crash even harder over this coming weekend. Low readings have also already impacted ‘nearby’ New Caledonia, with Ile Mare posting a very chilly 5.7C (42.3F) on Thursday.

 

A strong cold front will spread over NSW Friday into Saturday, bringing snow, heavy at times, to the ranges. Accumulations down to 800m (2,600ft) are expected in southern and central NSW, while the line will hold at about 900m (2,900ft) in the state’s north.
Parts of Tasmania and Victoria will also be affected by blast as a record cold Antarctica unleashes fiercely frigid pockets of polar air.

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records
Antarctica is cooling. The data confirm it.
Temperatures at the bottom of the world have routinely broken all-time records in recent times.
Antarctica endured its coldest-ever ‘coreless winter’ (April-Sept) in 2021, then shivered through practically all of 2022, posting colder-than-average month after colder-than-average month, including the coldest November since 1987 and the latest -60C (-76F) on record — with the year culminating in the South Pole Station averaging just -49.5C (-51.7F); -0.4C below the norm.
The historic chill has spilled into 2023, too.
Back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year; in July it logged Earth’s lowest temperature since 2017; and now, in mid-August, it’s breaking multiple all-time cold records at stations across the continent.

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

 

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising

The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.

18 September 2023

Cyclonic storms dominated the weather again this week.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  From the deep Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (972mb) that dumped 169 cm on Iceland to that 935 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier in the Antarctic this week we had heavy precipitation putting more water back on the land.   A deep 972 mb Aleutian Low also pumped 1-3 m of new snow onto the Mt. Logan Massif on the SW Yukon boarder.

 In contrast Hurricane Lee weakened to  (965 mb) into a CAT 1 storm in the Atlantic.  Its ECMWF 10 day old track was predicted to hit the St John N B  which it did on 17 September - an excellent forecast.  TS MARGOT is not far behind at 993 mb in the mid-Atlantic.  These cyclonic systems will impact Greenland and Europe.

While Lee captured the news, more important extratropical cyclones in the N Atlantic and Southern Ocean were much more powerful and increased glaciers significantly.

Many areas cooled below normal as Canadian Air Masses pushed south to the Gulf of Mexico.   Many short waves (extratropical cyclones with cold and warm fronts) continue to travel in the northern jet stream bringing fall-like weather to northern regions.  The Rockies had snow and snow showers at high elevations with 5-30 cm predicted.  Our Colorado Rockies had a significant coating of new snow above timberline ~11,000 ft (3353 m msl).

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

Our exceptionally strong el Niño has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB continues to set record daily increases as heavy snow hit the NW, N, and SE coastal mountains.  Low elevation coastal areas continue to melt.  The new SMB year (Sept to August) accumulated SMB much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively new records and has continued to be near record total accumulations.  In see:

Last week Morocco had a severe 6.9 earthquake that has killed thousands in the High Atlas SW of Marrakech   This week they were below normal. Spain and Morocco had a short wave/cut-off low that provided clouds and rainfall that cooled them.  This week a cold front and Mediterranean low will keep temperatures near to below normal. Libya had a heavy rainstorm that overtopped two large dams and created a catastrophic flood killing thousands.   Central Europe and western Russia continued to be normal to above normal under a strong anticyclone - High. Clear skies and comfortable temperatures prevailed.

in the West, NWT continued to have large fires that caused the evacuation of over 20,00 people.  These fires in NW Canada persisted and expanded again this week.  Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire intensity:

The Northern Hemisphere continues to transition to fall  with the Autumnal Equinox coming on 23 September.  The jet stream continues to intensify and move south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. We had heavy frost at my house at 9684 ft msl with nearby roofs covered by  frost.  Today, our Ten Mile peaks in Colorado now had their first heavy white coating, which melts fast.

Valentina Zharkova interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (40-132cm) with many areas receiving 10 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 10-30 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet is in a strong intense winter mode. It drives several large deep storms (936 to 972 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below-60 to -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A 947 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier dumping 124-207 cm on the glacier.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -35 to -44ºC setting records and grounding aircraft.

Southern Africa set cold records as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it. These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 959 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to Cape Town generating 13 m waves vs Lee’s 8-9 m waves at sea.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 1-17 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 110-229 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast (468-631 mm) thus filling the rain forests on the West coast of the South Island.

 South America was cooling, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (124-207 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (120-221cm).   South Georgia Island had snows reaching 100-203 cm this week.

Argentina and Brazil continue to cool,  some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

South Africa’s Record-Breaking Cold; First Snow Of The Season Hits Colorado Rockies; Flakes Return To Finland; + ‘Snow Removal Market’ Forecast To Rise Between 2023-2030
September 18, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/south-africas-record-cold-first-snow-colorado-and-finland-snow-removal-market-rise/

South Africa’s Record-Breaking Cold
Heavy snow has battered large areas of South Africa of late, with snowfall warnings issued for the Northern Cape, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal mountain ranges.
According to a recent ‘South African Weather Service’ report, a host of benchmarks were busted — eight on one day alone: These include the 4.1C (39.4F) logged at Cape Town–which smashed the previous record of 6.2C (43.2F); the -3.9C (25F) at Prince Albert–which bested the old record of -2.9C (26.8F); and the -4.5C (23.9F) at Graaff-Reinet–breaking the -4.2C (24.4F) set in the year 2000 — to name just three.

First Snow Of The Season Hits Colorado Rockies
Colorado’s highest peaks received their first snows of the season last week, but now flakes are falling at ‘pass-levels’, too.
Over the weekend, sizable dumpings were noted at Hoosier Pass:

Flakes Return To Finland
Snowy conditions are also set to make a return to Scandinavia this week, namely Finland.
A low pressure system is forecast to ride north and clash with a descending mass of polar air.

Factors Combine to Suggest A Powerful Arctic Outbreak (Polar Vortex) Could Strike This Winter
September 14, 2023 Cap Allon
Winter 2023-24 is approaching, and a new Polar Vortex is strengthening in the Stratosphere over the North Pole.
https://electroverse.info/arctic-outbreak-polar-vortex-this-winter/ 

 
As we head into autumn, the Sun gets lower and the polar regions begin to cool as there is less energy to fuel them.
However, as polar temperatures drop, the atmosphere further south remains relatively warm. This causes a strong temperature difference between the polar and sub-tropical regions, and a large low-pressure (cyclonic) circulation starts to develop across the Northern Hemisphere, extending from the surface layers to high up into the atmosphere — the ‘Polar Vortex’.

Grand Solar Minimum: The Future Looks Cold
September 8, 2023 Cap Allon
[This is an updated version of an article originally published on electroverse.net. I’m currently travelling from Portugal to the UK, and will be back to it with new posts on Monday, September 11]
https://electroverse.info/grand-solar-minimum-the-future-looks-cold/
“From 1650 to 1710, temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere plunged when the Sun entered a quiet phase now called the Maunder Minimum. During this period, very few sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun, and the overall brightness of the Sun decreased slightly. Already in the midst of a colder-than-average period called the Little Ice Age, Europe and North America went into a deep freeze: alpine glaciers extended over valley farmland; sea ice crept south from the Arctic; and the famous canals in the Netherlands froze regularly—an event that is rare today.”

In recent years, the Sun has been at its weakest state in more than a century, with the two most recent solar cycles (24 and 25) on course to be the weakest pair in more than 200 years, since the Dalton Minimum.
Germany’s Solar Panel Disintegration
The solar industry in Germany is reporting that 15% of the country’s solar capacity is rapidly disintegrating.
This not only represents the wasting of many billions of Euros of tax payer funds, but also exposes the pathetic capacity–that even after decades of propaganda–the country was able to generate: 15% of German solar production represents just 10 GW.
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center Is Forecasting Zero Sunspots From 2035 Through 2040
September 7, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/noaa-zero-sunspots-2035-through-2040/   

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), who’s solar forecasts generally come out higher than NASA’s, are sticking with their originally prediction that it won’t be until mid-2025 before we see the peak of Solar Cycle 25 (SC25) with a sunspot max of 114.6:

Scientist Withholds “Full Truth” In Order To Get His Climate Change Paper Published In ‘Nature’
September 6, 2023 Cap Allon
Patrick Brown, a PhD climate scientist and co-director of the Climate and Energy Team at The Breakthrough Institute, recently had a paper accepted by the prestigious journal, Nature. However, in a lengthy X thread, Brown tells of sordid tale of omission, exaggeration and a narrative-backing bias in order to appease the journal’s editors.
https://electroverse.info/climate-scientist-withholds-full-truth/  

The paper Brown just got published, “Climate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California”, focuses exclusively on how climate change has affected extreme wildfire behavior. Brown says he knew not to try to quantify key aspects other than climate change because it would dilute the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival, Science, want to tell.
The number of researchers has skyrocketed in recent years–there are close to six times more PhDs earned in the U.S. each year than there were in the early 1960s–and so it has become increasingly difficult to stand out. So while there has always been a tremendous premium placed on publishing in journals like Nature and Science, it’s also become extraordinarily more competitive.

New Studies Suggest ‘Global Warming’ Is Mostly An Urban Phenomenon
September 5, 2023 Cap Allon
A new study by 37 researchers from 18 countries has come to the conclusion that the global temperature record has been contaminated by urban warming biases. It also suggests that the most recent IPCC reports underestimate the role of solar activity.
https://electroverse.info/global-warming-is-mostly-an-urban-phenomenon/ 

Thermometers in towns and cities read warmer than the countryside counterparts. This is irrefutable fact that even the IPCC concede.
While urban areas account for <4% of the global land surface, the majority of weather stations used in official global temperature calculations are located in metropolis settings. For this reason, a growing number of scientists are questioning mainstream global warming reckonings, asking, have they been contaminated by the urban heat island (UHI) effect?

WAVY JET STREAM DELIVERS EXTREME RAINS TO SE EUROPE; POLAR FRONT HITS AUSTRALIA; + CLIMATE LOCKDOWNSSeptember 5, 2023 Cap Allon
Wavy Jet Stream Delivers Extreme Rains To SE Europe
https://electroverse.info/wavy-jet-stream-rains-polar-australia-climate-lockdowns/ 

The rains, for many, persisted throughout the summer season, too, and helped suppress the wildfire season–which was another below-average one, according to the official data, continuing the multidecadal trend.
Worth noting, the same system inundating the SE–and SW–is also responsible for ‘dragging up’ Tropical warmth to central and western parts, into the likes of France, Germany and the UK which are all now enjoying something of an Indian Summer.
But take note alarmists, this setup doesn’t posses ‘the fingerprints of climate change’, as is regularly claimed. Rather, this is a ‘meridional’ (wavy) jet stream flow in action, one likely exacerbated by the cumulative impact of years of low solar activity which has led to less energy fueling the jets and, in turn, a breakdown of their usual tight and stable ‘zonal’ (west to east) flow.


Polar Front Hits Australia
Just as Australian resorts begin mothballing some of their winter operations, a fierce cold front is barreling into the southeast, one expected to deliver 50 cm (20 inches) of snow over the next 7-or-so days.
As reported by snowbrains.com, this cold outbreak could in fact be the coldest of the season for many areas, bringing low level snow and icy temperatures to swathes of the country, and possibly a dangerous squall line to western NSW on Thursday.
Ski runs at Hotham Alpine Resort saw a top up Monday as winter begins its comeback after what proved a warm August.
Mt Baw Baw in Victoria, which closed its slopes on Sunday, will see the biggest dumping with 50cm (20 inches) of snow expected. Thredbo Ski Resort in NSW is forecast some 20cm (8 inches) over the next seven days.

Temperatures in Victoria are already holding way below the freezing mark, and state resorts are seeing heavy snow. The snow line will drop to <500m (1,600ft) in Victoria over the coming days, to around 600m (1950ft) in NSW, and as low as 200m (650ft) in Tasmania.

What They Won’t Tell You: CO2 Emissions Are Declining
August 30, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/what-they-wont-tell-you-co2-emissions-are-declining

Western nations have made the largest reductions in CO2 emissions in recent decades. Between 2005 and 2020, U.S. carbon emissions declined by 21.5%, which is 4.5 percentage points more than what America promised as part of its United Nations Paris Climate Change commitments (Kate Larsen et al.). This again goes largely unreported.

“It is a contrived scenario that maximizes future impacts,” notes Roger Pielke, who, with coauthors, performed a review of the scenarios literature and found that there is no scenario that can produce this combination of a pessimistic societal change and a pessimistic climate outcome.
The world is not on track for a high-emissions, low-GDP scenario, writes Micheal Shellenberger in a testimony before the Senate Budget Committee. Even models cannot produce that outcome. And yet many studies assume the world is on track for precisely that. “The combination of SSP3 and RCP8.5 was considered implausible by the SSP developers,” notes Pielke and a coauthor.
…..
But it must be stated, and in bold: All of this talk of carbon emissions and the related ‘scenarios’ is by-the-by, so states professor emeritus at Princeton, Dr. William Happer. Because while the AGW narrative argues that as people burn fossil fuels they emit higher concentrations of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which absorbs sunlight and creates a “greenhouse effect,” trapping the Sun’s radiation and warming the Earth, one key aspect of CO2 that everybody willingly ignores, and that global warming models fail to take into account, is a phenomenon called “saturation,” continues Happer, or the diminishing effect of atmospheric CO2 at higher concentrations.

Study: CO2 Molecules Have Little Consequential Impact On Outgoing Radiation; + Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
August 24, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/co2-molecules-have-little-impact-benefits-removed/

Russian physicists (Smirnov and Zhilyaev, 2021) had their peer-reviewed paper published in the Advances in Fundamental Physics Special Issue for the journal Foundations.
After a detailed assessing of the role of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere, they assert: “w”e have a contradiction with the results of climatological models in the analysis of the Earth’s greenhouse effect.”
Key points from the paper:

1. Climate model calculations of CO2’s impact on global temperatures are in error by a factor of 5 as a result of “ignoring, in climatological models, the fundamental Kirchhoff law” which says radiators are “simultaneously the absorbers.”
2. Change in the concentration of an optically active atmospheric component (like CO2) “would not lead to change in the outgoing radiative flux.”
3. CO2 molecules “are not the main radiator of the atmosphere.” Water vapor molecules are, and thus they “may be responsible for the observed heating of the Earth.”
Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
Once upon a time there were at least two sides to any story, but those days are dead. A UK exams body will no longer ask pupils to give explanations on the “positive” effects of climate change.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) made the update to the National 5 Geography course following pressure from the Scottish Green Party.

Temperature Crash In The Alps Leads To Additional Summer Snowfall; Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows; + “Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
August 28, 2023 Cap Allon
https://electroverse.info/alps-summer-snow-michigan-freezing-lows-mega-snowstorm-argentina-chile/

“The weather is now on the change,” said the alpine weather expert Fraser Wilkin of weathertoski.co.uk, “there will be some snow up on the glaciers, especially early in the week, when 50cm (20 inches) or more is possible.”
Despite mainstream bemoanings of ‘catastrophic heat’ and ‘glacial decline’, Austria’s Hintertux ski area has remained open this summer, as has Switzerland’s Zermatt and Saas-Fee, and also Italy’s Passp Stelvio resort.

Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows
The United States, overall, is experiencing a cooler than average summer — the data don’t lie, they’re just inconvenient.
But as seems to be the case across great swathes of the planet, ‘swings between extremes‘ is the dominant setup — and Michigan is no different: Following the burst heat and humidity of a few weeks ago, the weekend just gone saw the mercury crash below freezing.
“Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
Again, ‘swings between extremes‘ sums up South America’s winter — from record warmth, to record chills and exceptional snow totals.
A powerful winter storm has delivered in excess of 12 feet of snow to ski areas across the Andes.
Below are the top 4 totals to hit Argentina and Chile this week during what PowderQuest labelled a “mega snowstorm”:

1) Las Leñas, Argentina — 13 feet (4m)
2) Portillo, Chile — 8 feet (2.4m)
3) Valle Nevado, Chile — 5-6 feet (1.8m)
4) Catedral, Argentina — 4 feet (1.5m)

Heavy falls also hit southern Chilean resorts, with Corralco reporting almost 4 feet (1.2m) in the last 36 hours alone, and Nevados de Chillan noting 3.4 feet (1.05m).
Ski resorts up and down and around the Andes are celebrating the recent record-challenging totals as they suggest great business for the remainder of the season.
NOTE: this is consistent with the ECMWF model forecasts that I monitor: 260 to 550 cm over the past 11 days

‘Polar Blast’ Hits Australia
Another polar air mass is about to sweep up from the Southern Ocean and engulf much of Australia’s southeast.
Following what was a frosty August 17, during which a host of SE locales posted their lowest temperatures in years, the mercury will crash even harder over this coming weekend. Low readings have also already impacted ‘nearby’ New Caledonia, with Ile Mare posting a very chilly 5.7C (42.3F) on Thursday.

A strong cold front will spread over NSW Friday into Saturday, bringing snow, heavy at times, to the ranges. Accumulations down to 800m (2,600ft) are expected in southern and central NSW, while the line will hold at about 900m (2,900ft) in the state’s north.
Parts of Tasmania and Victoria will also be affected by blast as a record cold Antarctica unleashes fiercely frigid pockets of polar air.

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records; + The BBC Attempts To Rewrite The History Books

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records
Antarctica is cooling. The data confirm it.
Temperatures at the bottom of the world have routinely broken all-time records in recent times.
Antarctica endured its coldest-ever ‘coreless winter’ (April-Sept) in 2021, then shivered through practically all of 2022, posting colder-than-average month after colder-than-average month, including the coldest November since 1987 and the latest -60C (-76F) on record — with the year culminating in the South Pole Station averaging just -49.5C (-51.7F); -0.4C below the norm.
The historic chill has spilled into 2023, too.
Back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year; in July it logged Earth’s lowest temperature since 2017; and now, in mid-August, it’s breaking multiple all-time cold records at stations across the continent.

UT And CO Still Have Snow
The MSM’s refusal to report realities such as the following are testament to the agenda at play.
Snow is lingering at Alta Ski Area, Utah in mid-August — an exceptional 2 feet!
Switching to Colorado, Keystone Resort has gone and bested its previous record for the latest date ever snow tubed:

Keystone ‘s old record was August 6, but this year, thanks to the historic snow and great preservation work, the hill is still sliding strong with a goal to keep snow tubing running as late as Labor Day.

Barrier Reef Holding On To Record Coral Gains
Like the now stonewalled scares of extinct polar bears and an ice-free Arctic, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has gone the same way. MSM-peddled doomsday predictions have once again been proven pitifully inaccurate.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive
June 26, 2023 Cap Allon
Fear prevents us from thinking. The emotional panic that accompanies fear actually shuts down the prefrontal cortex –the rational thinking part– of our brains. A populace that stops thinking for itself is a populace that is easily led, easily manipulated and easily controlled.
https://electroverse.info/climate-fails-the-list-is-exhaustive/ 

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising
For more than a century, sea levels have been dropping across the Northern European cities of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki — that was, until 2020 when the IPCC’s new AR6 Sea Level Projection Tool inexplicably promoted an all-round sea level rise.
The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.

11 September 2023

 

We are REMEMBERING Sept 11, 2001 when America was attacked and thousands died needlessly under blue skies.

 

Cyclonic storms dominated the weather this week.  Recall tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and extratropical cyclones (Lows) and anticyclones (Highs) control our weather.  From the deep Icelandic extratropical cyclone storm (977mb) that dumped 169 cm on Iceland to that 947 mb storm N of the Thawaites Glacier and -80ºC in the Antarctic this week we had heavy precipitation putting more water back on the land.   A weak 1004 mb Aleutian Low also pumped 630 cm of new snow onto the Mt. Logan Massif on the SW Yukon boarder.  In contrast Hurricane Lee (948 mb) explosively developed into a CAT 5 storm in the Atlantic.  Its ECMWF track is predicted to hit the NE currently Halifax, NS in the next 10 days.  TS MARGOT is not far behind at 993 mb in the mid-Atlantic.  These cyclonic systems will impact Greenland and Europe.

 

Summer’s heat is gradually receding as Canadian air masses move south into the US.  Many short waves (extratropical cyclones with cold and warm fronts) continue to travel in the northern jet stream bringing fall-like weather to northern regions.  The Rockies had snow and snow showers at high elevations with 8-20 cm predicted.

 

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

 

We have an exceptionally strong el Niño which has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.

 

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

 

Greenland’s daily SMB is setting record increases as heavy snow hit the NW, N, and SE coastal mountains.  Low elevation coastal areas continue to melt.  The new year(Sept to August) accumulated SMB is starting much above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively new records.  In see:
 
http://polarportal.dk/en/greenland/surface-conditions/

 

Morocco had a severe 6.9 earthquake that has killed thousands in the High Atlas SW of Marrakech   This week they were below normal. Spain and Morocco had a short wave/cut-off low that provided clouds and rainfall that cooled them.  This week a cold front and Mediterranean low will keep temperatures near to below normal. Central Europe and western Russia were normal to above normal under a strong anticyclone - High. Clear skies prevailed.

 

in the West, Yellowknife, NWT had large fires that caused the evacuation of over 20,00 people.  These fires in NW Canada persisted and expanded again this week.  Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire intensity:

 

https://www.windy.com/-Fire-intensity-fires?fires,48.980,-79.893,4,i:pressure,m:e8ead2B  

 

The Northern Hemisphere continues to transition to fall as the jet stream intensifies and moves south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. So far no frost at my house at 9684 ft msl. Nearby roofs have had frost.  Today, peaks in Colorado have a white coating.

 

Valentina Zharkova interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

The Himalayas continued notable snows (48-53cm) with many areas receiving 10 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 10-30 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

 

Southern hemisphere jet is in a strong intense winter mode. It drives several large deep storms (936 to 972 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A 936 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier (130-234 cm) on the Antarctic peninsula.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -35 to -44ºC setting records and grounding aircraft.

 

Southern Africa set cold records as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it. These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 962 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to the Bite on 7 June.  This storm generated 14 m waves in the Southern Ocean SW of Perth.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 1-21 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 82-112 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast (160-217 mm).

 

 South America was cooling, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (142-249 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers (202-385 cm).   South Georgia Island had snows reaching 39-88 cm this week.

 

Argentina and Brazil continue to cool,  some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

Grand Solar Minimum: The Future Looks Cold
September 8, 2023 Cap Allon
[This is an updated version of an article originally published on electroverse.net. I’m currently travelling from Portugal to the UK, and will be back to it with new posts on Monday, September 11]
https://electroverse.info/grand-solar-minimum-the-future-looks-cold/ 

“From 1650 to 1710, temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere plunged when the Sun entered a quiet phase now called the Maunder Minimum. During this period, very few sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun, and the overall brightness of the Sun decreased slightly. Already in the midst of a colder-than-average period called the Little Ice Age, Europe and North America went into a deep freeze: alpine glaciers extended over valley farmland; sea ice crept south from the Arctic; and the famous canals in the Netherlands froze regularly—an event that is rare today.”

In recent years, the Sun has been at its weakest state in more than a century, with the two most recent solar cycles (24 and 25) on course to be the weakest pair in more than 200 years, since the Dalton Minimum.
Germany’s Solar Panel Disintegration
The solar industry in Germany is reporting that 15% of the country’s solar capacity is rapidly disintegrating.
This not only represents the wasting of many billions of Euros of tax payer funds, but also exposes the pathetic capacity–that even after decades of propaganda–the country was able to generate: 15% of German solar production represents just 10 GW.
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center Is Forecasting Zero Sunspots From 2035 Through 2040

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), who’s solar forecasts generally come out higher than NASA’s, are sticking with their originally prediction that it won’t be until mid-2025 before we see the peak of Solar Cycle 25 (SC25) with a sunspot max of 114.6:

Scientist Withholds “Full Truth” In Order To Get His Climate Change Paper Published In ‘Nature’
September 6, 2023 Cap Allon

Patrick Brown, a PhD climate scientist and co-director of the Climate and Energy Team at The Breakthrough Institute, recently had a paper accepted by the prestigious journal, Nature. However, in a lengthy X thread, Brown tells of sordid tale of omission, exaggeration and a narrative-backing bias in order to appease the journal’s editors.
https://electroverse.info/climate-scientist-withholds-full-truth/  

 

The paper Brown just got published, “Climate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California”, focuses exclusively on how climate change has affected extreme wildfire behavior. Brown says he knew not to try to quantify key aspects other than climate change because it would dilute the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival, Science, want to tell.
The number of researchers has skyrocketed in recent years–there are close to six times more PhDs earned in the U.S. each year than there were in the early 1960s–and so it has become increasingly difficult to stand out. So while there has always been a tremendous premium placed on publishing in journals like Nature and Science, it’s also become extraordinarily more competitive.

 

New Studies Suggest ‘Global Warming’ Is Mostly An Urban Phenomenon
September 5, 2023 Cap Allon
A new study by 37 researchers from 18 countries has come to the conclusion that the global temperature record has been contaminated by urban warming biases. It also suggests that the most recent IPCC reports underestimate the role of solar activity.
https://electroverse.info/global-warming-is-mostly-an-urban-phenomenon/ 

Thermometers in towns and cities read warmer than the countryside counterparts. This is irrefutable fact that even the IPCC concede.
While urban areas account for <4% of the global land surface, the majority of weather stations used in official global temperature calculations are located in metropolis settings. For this reason, a growing number of scientists are questioning mainstream global warming reckonings, asking, have they been contaminated by the urban heat island (UHI) effect?

 

WAVY JET STREAM DELIVERS EXTREME RAINS TO SE EUROPE; POLAR FRONT HITS AUSTRALIA; + CLIMATE LOCKDOWNS

September 5, 2023 Cap Allon
Wavy Jet Stream Delivers Extreme Rains To SE Europe
https://electroverse.info/wavy-jet-stream-rains-polar-australia-climate-lockdowns/ 

The rains, for many, persisted throughout the summer season, too, and helped suppress the wildfire season–which was another below-average one, according to the official data, continuing the multidecadal trend.
Worth noting, the same system inundating the SE–and SW–is also responsible for ‘dragging up’ Tropical warmth to central and western parts, into the likes of France, Germany and the UK which are all now enjoying something of an Indian Summer.
But take note alarmists, this setup doesn’t posses ‘the fingerprints of climate change’, as is regularly claimed. Rather, this is a ‘meridional’ (wavy) jet stream flow in action, one likely exacerbated by the cumulative impact of years of low solar activity which has led to less energy fueling the jets and, in turn, a breakdown of their usual tight and stable ‘zonal’ (west to east) flow.

 


Polar Front Hits Australia
Just as Australian resorts begin mothballing some of their winter operations, a fierce cold front is barreling into the southeast, one expected to deliver 50 cm (20 inches) of snow over the next 7-or-so days.
As reported by snowbrains.com, this cold outbreak could in fact be the coldest of the season for many areas, bringing low level snow and icy temperatures to swathes of the country, and possibly a dangerous squall line to western NSW on Thursday.
Ski runs at Hotham Alpine Resort saw a top up Monday as winter begins its comeback after what proved a warm August.
Mt Baw Baw in Victoria, which closed its slopes on Sunday, will see the biggest dumping with 50cm (20 inches) of snow expected. Thredbo Ski Resort in NSW is forecast some 20cm (8 inches) over the next seven days.

 

Temperatures in Victoria are already holding way below the freezing mark, and state resorts are seeing heavy snow. The snow line will drop to <500m (1,600ft) in Victoria over the coming days, to around 600m (1950ft) in NSW, and as low as 200m (650ft) in Tasmania.

What They Won’t Tell You: CO2 Emissions Are Declining
August 30, 2023 Cap Allon

 

https://electroverse.info/what-they-wont-tell-you-co2-emissions-are-declining/

 

Western nations have made the largest reductions in CO2 emissions in recent decades. Between 2005 and 2020, U.S. carbon emissions declined by 21.5%, which is 4.5 percentage points more than what America promised as part of its United Nations Paris Climate Change commitments (Kate Larsen et al.). This again goes largely unreported.

 

“It is a contrived scenario that maximizes future impacts,” notes Roger Pielke, who, with coauthors, performed a review of the scenarios literature and found that there is no scenario that can produce this combination of a pessimistic societal change and a pessimistic climate outcome.
The world is not on track for a high-emissions, low-GDP scenario, writes Micheal Shellenberger in a testimony before the Senate Budget Committee. Even models cannot produce that outcome. And yet many studies assume the world is on track for precisely that. “The combination of SSP3 and RCP8.5 was considered implausible by the SSP developers,” notes Pielke and a coauthor.
…..
But it must be stated, and in bold: All of this talk of carbon emissions and the related ‘scenarios’ is by-the-by, so states professor emeritus at Princeton, Dr. William Happer. Because while the AGW narrative argues that as people burn fossil fuels they emit higher concentrations of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which absorbs sunlight and creates a “greenhouse effect,” trapping the Sun’s radiation and warming the Earth, one key aspect of CO2 that everybody willingly ignores, and that global warming models fail to take into account, is a phenomenon called “saturation,” continues Happer, or the diminishing effect of atmospheric CO2 at higher concentrations.

 

Study: CO2 Molecules Have Little Consequential Impact On Outgoing Radiation; + Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
August 24, 2023 Cap Allon

 

https://electroverse.info/co2-molecules-have-little-impact-benefits-removed/

 

Russian physicists (Smirnov and Zhilyaev, 2021) had their peer-reviewed paper published in the Advances in Fundamental Physics Special Issue for the journal Foundations.
After a detailed assessing of the role of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere, they assert: “w”e have a contradiction with the results of climatological models in the analysis of the Earth’s greenhouse effect.”
Key points from the paper:

1. Climate model calculations of CO2’s impact on global temperatures are in error by a factor of 5 as a result of “ignoring, in climatological models, the fundamental Kirchhoff law” which says radiators are “simultaneously the absorbers.”
2. Change in the concentration of an optically active atmospheric component (like CO2) “would not lead to change in the outgoing radiative flux.”
3. CO2 molecules “are not the main radiator of the atmosphere.” Water vapor molecules are, and thus they “may be responsible for the observed heating of the Earth.”

Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
Once upon a time there were at least two sides to any story, but those days are dead. A UK exams body will no longer ask pupils to give explanations on the “positive” effects of climate change.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) made the update to the National 5 Geography course following pressure from the Scottish Green Party.

Temperature Crash In The Alps Leads To Additional Summer Snowfall; Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows; + “Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
August 28, 2023 Cap Allon
https://electroverse.info/alps-summer-snow-michigan-freezing-lows-mega-snowstorm-argentina-chile/

 

“The weather is now on the change,” said the alpine weather expert Fraser Wilkin of weathertoski.co.uk, “there will be some snow up on the glaciers, especially early in the week, when 50cm (20 inches) or more is possible.”
Despite mainstream bemoanings of ‘catastrophic heat’ and ‘glacial decline’, Austria’s Hintertux ski area has remained open this summer, as has Switzerland’s Zermatt and Saas-Fee, and also Italy’s Passp Stelvio resort.

 

Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows
The United States, overall, is experiencing a cooler than average summer — the data don’t lie, they’re just inconvenient.
But as seems to be the case across great swathes of the planet, ‘swings between extremes‘ is the dominant setup — and Michigan is no different: Following the burst heat and humidity of a few weeks ago, the weekend just gone saw the mercury crash below freezing.
“Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
Again, ‘swings between extremes‘ sums up South America’s winter — from record warmth, to record chills and exceptional snow totals.
A powerful winter storm has delivered in excess of 12 feet of snow to ski areas across the Andes.
Below are the top 4 totals to hit Argentina and Chile this week during what PowderQuest labelled a “mega snowstorm”:

1) Las Leñas, Argentina — 13 feet (4m)
2) Portillo, Chile — 8 feet (2.4m)
3) Valle Nevado, Chile — 5-6 feet (1.8m)
4) Catedral, Argentina — 4 feet (1.5m)

Heavy falls also hit southern Chilean resorts, with Corralco reporting almost 4 feet (1.2m) in the last 36 hours alone, and Nevados de Chillan noting 3.4 feet (1.05m).
Ski resorts up and down and around the Andes are celebrating the recent record-challenging totals as they suggest great business for the remainder of the season.
NOTE: this is consistent with the ECMWF model forecasts that I monitor: 260 to 550 cm over the past 11 days

‘Polar Blast’ Hits Australia
Another polar air mass is about to sweep up from the Southern Ocean and engulf much of Australia’s southeast.
Following what was a frosty August 17, during which a host of SE locales posted their lowest temperatures in years, the mercury will crash even harder over this coming weekend. Low readings have also already impacted ‘nearby’ New Caledonia, with Ile Mare posting a very chilly 5.7C (42.3F) on Thursday.

 

A strong cold front will spread over NSW Friday into Saturday, bringing snow, heavy at times, to the ranges. Accumulations down to 800m (2,600ft) are expected in southern and central NSW, while the line will hold at about 900m (2,900ft) in the state’s north.
Parts of Tasmania and Victoria will also be affected by blast as a record cold Antarctica unleashes fiercely frigid pockets of polar air.

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records; + The BBC Attempts To Rewrite The History Books

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records
Antarctica is cooling. The data confirm it.
Temperatures at the bottom of the world have routinely broken all-time records in recent times.
Antarctica endured its coldest-ever ‘coreless winter’ (April-Sept) in 2021, then shivered through practically all of 2022, posting colder-than-average month after colder-than-average month, including the coldest November since 1987 and the latest -60C (-76F) on record — with the year culminating in the South Pole Station averaging just -49.5C (-51.7F); -0.4C below the norm.
The historic chill has spilled into 2023, too.
Back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year; in July it logged Earth’s lowest temperature since 2017; and now, in mid-August, it’s breaking multiple all-time cold records at stations across the continent.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

 

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising
For more than a century, sea levels have been dropping across the Northern European cities of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki — that was, until 2020 when the IPCC’s new AR6 Sea Level Projection Tool inexplicably promoted an all-round sea level rise.
The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.

4 September 2023

Catastrophic Hurricane Idalia hit Big Bend of N Florida with 130 mph winds and 8 to 10 ft storm surge causing horrific damage.  Numerical models predicted the fast evolution and motion of this storm from the Yucatan Channel to the Florida Panhandle and on to the SC coast. Fortunately, this storm raced up the west coast of Florida far off shore, so most damage was confined to the Big Bend area. The summer weather album documents the details of this storm’s evolution.

Labor Day Weekend proved to be another sweltering period east of the Rockies setting new max temperature records.  This heat promises to extend into this week in the East.  Fortunately, the West is balancing he excessive heat with cooler than normal temperatures. Southern California and the Nevada Desert had rare heavy rains for this time of the year.

Many short waves traveled in the northern jet stream bringing fall-like weather to northern regions.  Slovenia and the Alps had snow and snow showers at high elevations with 50 to 70 cm in the Alps.

Recall California had an unusually wet and cool spring, followed by some record heat and now is warming and drying with wild fires starting again.  This summer brought showers to the Sierra throughout the summer, a somewhat uncommon event.  Its “1000-year” extreme drought has been eliminated. Tioga Pass NE of Yosemite was still closed in July surpassing the previous 1938 record opening date of 9 July.  TS Hillary’s record rains caused local flash flooding and piled mud on streets in Palm Springs and washed out roads and homes.  Over a year’s rainfall fell in 24 hrs in many places including Death Valley. Again this week an upper-level trough brought heavy rains to the LA Basin and Nevada Desert. Drought Monitor maps show a dramatic change from last year.  Reservoirs are full; however to the east, the Colorado River system still needs much more water.

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

We have an exceptionally strong el Niño which has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

Greenland’s daily SMB dropped to below normal, losing 8 GT in one day. It recovered as heavy snow hit the NW and E coastal mountains.  Low elevation coastal areas continue to melt.  The year’s accumulated SMB is still above normal.  September recorded increases in SMB occurred +6 GT and +10 GT on 1 and 2 Sept respectively new records.  In see:
 
http://polarportal.dk/en/greenland/surface-conditions/

Spain regained its near record heat from Morocco and renewed its extreme fire danger last week as a ridge moved east pushing African heat northward.  This week they were below normal. Spain and Morocco had a short wave/cut-off low that provided clouds and rainfall that cooled them.  This week a cold front and Mediterranean low will keep temperatures near to below normal. Central Europe and western Russia were normal to below normal with some clouds and precipitation.

Summer Convective storms dominated northern hemisphere precipitation again this week.

in the West, Yellowknife, NWT had large fires that caused the evacuation of over 20,00 people.  These fires in NW Canada persisted and expanded again this week.  Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire intensity:

The Northern Hemisphere is now transitioning to fall as the jet stream intensifies and moves south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. So far no frost at my house at 9684 ft msl. Nearby roofs have had frost.

Kredarica’s glacier is fragmented and mostly gone after the heavy rains of last month’s floods.

Valentina Zharkova interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (38-62cm) with many areas receiving 10 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 10-30 cm fell. Total snow on the ground on 9/3/23 still ranged from 0.5 to 5 m. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet is in a deep winter intense mode. It drives several large deep storms (936 to 972 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC. On 3 Sept the South Pole reported -74.9ºC (-102ºF) and -80ºC at Vostok.. A 936 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier (130-234 cm) on the Antarctic peninsula.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -35 to -44ºC setting records and grounding aircraft.

Southern Africa set cold records as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it. These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 962 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to the Bite on 7 June.  This storm generated 14 m waves in the Southern Ocean SW of Perth.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 14-23 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 16-58 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast (107-239 mm).

 South America was cooling, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (130=234 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers ( 214-293 cm).  The central Andes SE of Santiago, Chile had the most new snow.  South Georgia Island had snows reaching 48-88 cm this week.

Argentina and Brazil continue to cool,  some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

Likewise in the Netherlands (De Bilt Observatory), August’s average was 17.6C (63.7F), which is also 0.3C below normal:

August 2023 in Sweden was also largely colder than the average, particularly in the south.
While in the UK, the Met Office is claiming the summer just gone was the 8th warmest on record–at 15.3C, or 0.2C above the average–which is a claim I’m sure a lot of Brits will take issue with.
England did post a -0.1C anomaly for August; Scotland, however, notched +0.6C:

Antarctica Freezes
Following a July/Aug of anomalous cold –which saw records tumble, the planet post its coldest temperature since 2017, rare ice form on super-salty lakes, and the delaying of operation ‘Winfly’— Antarctica’s big freeze is now spilling into September.

On Sept 2, the Amundsen-Scott base recorded an unusually frigid -72.9C (-99.2F).
On Sept 3, Nico AWS reached -73.9C (-101F).

The South Pole Station plunged to -74.9C (-102.8F) on Sunday, its lowest September reading in three years.
While at Vostok, which is coming off the back of its coldest month of August since 2002 (linked below), Sept 3 delivered a reading of -80C (-112F). At the same time, Dome Fuji AWS observed -77.1C (106.8F).
–All are unusually cold readings.

The Greenland Ice Sheet Starts New Season In Record-Breaking Fashion
Last season on the Greenland Ice Sheet (Sept 2022 – Aug 2023) was a healthy one with above-average Surface Mass Balance (SMB) gains noted. This season started in similar vein last Friday, and has already posted record-breaking gains:  +6 GT and 10 GT 1&2 Sept 2023…
Trend Of Growth
Two seasons ago (2021-22), Greenland posted an SMB gain of 471Gt, ranking as a top 10 SMB season in books dating back to 1981, and also 27% above the 1981-2010 mean, too. And now the season just gone (2022-23) has achieved similar gains (in-depth article coming soon). What these two season do is continue the multi-year trend of growth which commenced ≈2014.

HOW DID THE GLOBAL WARMING SCAM SURVIVE ‘CLIMATEGATE’?

“What we are looking at here is the small group of scientists who have for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming than any others, not least through the role they play at the heart of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).”
Climate, it turns out, is driven mainly by the Sun and the impact solar activity has on the oceans. Ironically, it is the IPCC that are the true climate deniers.

censored IPCC report information: Jones is writing about two new papers. One, from two known skeptics Ross McKitrick and Pat Michaels, claimed to show a correlation between the geographical patterns of warming and of industrialization, suggesting that local urbanization rather than the global influence of greenhouse gases were often key in warming on land.
Jones evidently wanted to use his position as a lead author to keep the paper out of the IPCC report. In the event, the paper was not mentioned in early chapter drafts, but was added to a final version, where its findings were dismissed as “not statistically significant”.

The U.S. Experienced A Cooler-Than-Average Summer; New Zealand’s Frigid August; + Earth-Directed “Explosion”
September 1, 2023 Cap Allon
The U.S. Experienced A Cooler-Than-Average Summer
Legacy media outlets can throw all the ‘world burning’ rhetoric they want at it, but it doesn’t change the facts — the United States experienced a cooler-than-average summer, as revealed by the data:
https://electroverse.info/us-cool-summer-new-zealands-frigid-aug-earth-directed-explosion/ 

The South was hot, uncomfortably so, but the remainder of the CONUS, for the most part, held anomalous cool.

The extremes have at times been wild this season, but for both hot and cool, dry and wet; overall, however, things have largely balanced out, as they always seem to do.
Temperature averages have actually tipped to the cool side, meaning cries of ‘climate crisis’ and ‘global boiling’ appear unsubstantiated.

New Zealand’s Frigid August
New Zealand has been under the influence of fierce Antarctic outbreaks for weeks now, and temperatures have suffered.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is also an issue.
NIWA relies on just seven urban-based stations to obtain its official readings for the entire country; these being Auckland, Masterton, Wellington, Hokitika, Nelson, Lincoln, and Dunedin, which together are known as the ‘seven station temperature series’.
No official rural temperature stations exist.

Cold Outbreaks Not Caused By ‘Global Warming’
August 31, 2023 Cap Allon
What the catastrophists always seem to forget is that summer doesn’t last forever; that the brutality of winter is never more than a handful of months away.
https://electroverse.info/cold-outbreaks-are-not-caused-by-global-warming/ 

The winter of 2023-24 is expected to be a harsh one by most metrics and forecasts, including both the Old and ‘New’ Almanacs–though I would consider the cumulative effect of decades of waning solar activity (since around 2008) to be the informative forcing, not necessarily the chicken bones, caterpillar coats and other weather lore that the Old Farmer’s Almanac relies on.
….
Dr. Tim Ball, an environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba, said that Scavia’s statement “is utter rubbish.” Ball explained, “It’s wrong in every aspect, from the basic assumption to the interpretation. In fact, a gradient makes things move. It doesn’t ‘keep the cold where it is.’“
Ball noted that the real cause of the severe cold outbreaks in the United States is a wavy Jet Stream.
The Jet Stream is a thin band of strong winds that flow rapidly around the planet from west to east at approximately 10 km altitude. The Jet Stream divides warm air masses, typically found at low latitudes towards the tropics, from cold air masses, usually found at high latitudes near the poles.
What They Won’t Tell You: CO2 Emissions Are Declining
August 30, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/what-they-wont-tell-you-co2-emissions-are-declining/

Western nations have made the largest reductions in CO2 emissions in recent decades. Between 2005 and 2020, U.S. carbon emissions declined by 21.5%, which is 4.5 percentage points more than what America promised as part of its United Nations Paris Climate Change commitments (Kate Larsen et al.). This again goes largely unreported.

“It is a contrived scenario that maximizes future impacts,” notes Roger Pielke, who, with coauthors, performed a review of the scenarios literature and found that there is no scenario that can produce this combination of a pessimistic societal change and a pessimistic climate outcome.
The world is not on track for a high-emissions, low-GDP scenario, writes Micheal Shellenberger in a testimony before the Senate Budget Committee. Even models cannot produce that outcome. And yet many studies assume the world is on track for precisely that. “The combination of SSP3 and RCP8.5 was considered implausible by the SSP developers,” notes Pielke and a coauthor.
…..
But it must be stated, and in bold: All of this talk of carbon emissions and the related ‘scenarios’ is by-the-by, so states professor emeritus at Princeton, Dr. William Happer. Because while the AGW narrative argues that as people burn fossil fuels they emit higher concentrations of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which absorbs sunlight and creates a “greenhouse effect,” trapping the Sun’s radiation and warming the Earth, one key aspect of CO2 that everybody willingly ignores, and that global warming models fail to take into account, is a phenomenon called “saturation,” continues Happer, or the diminishing effect of atmospheric CO2 at higher concentrations.

Study: CO2 Molecules Have Little Consequential Impact On Outgoing Radiation; + Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
August 24, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/co2-molecules-have-little-impact-benefits-removed/

Russian physicists (Smirnov and Zhilyaev, 2021) had their peer-reviewed paper published in the Advances in Fundamental Physics Special Issue for the journal Foundations.
After a detailed assessing of the role of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere, they assert: “w”e have a contradiction with the results of climatological models in the analysis of the Earth’s greenhouse effect.”
Key points from the paper:

1. Climate model calculations of CO2’s impact on global temperatures are in error by a factor of 5 as a result of “ignoring, in climatological models, the fundamental Kirchhoff law” which says radiators are “simultaneously the absorbers.”
2. Change in the concentration of an optically active atmospheric component (like CO2) “would not lead to change in the outgoing radiative flux.”
3. CO2 molecules “are not the main radiator of the atmosphere.” Water vapor molecules are, and thus they “may be responsible for the observed heating of the Earth.”

Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
Once upon a time there were at least two sides to any story, but those days are dead. A UK exams body will no longer ask pupils to give explanations on the “positive” effects of climate change.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) made the update to the National 5 Geography course following pressure from the Scottish Green Party.

Temperature Crash In The Alps Leads To Additional Summer Snowfall; Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows; + “Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
August 28, 2023 Cap Allon
https://electroverse.info/alps-summer-snow-michigan-freezing-lows-mega-snowstorm-argentina-chile/

“The weather is now on the change,” said the alpine weather expert Fraser Wilkin of weathertoski.co.uk, “there will be some snow up on the glaciers, especially early in the week, when 50cm (20 inches) or more is possible.”
Despite mainstream bemoanings of ‘catastrophic heat’ and ‘glacial decline’, Austria’s Hintertux ski area has remained open this summer, as has Switzerland’s Zermatt and Saas-Fee, and also Italy’s Passp Stelvio resort.

Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows
The United States, overall, is experiencing a cooler than average summer — the data don’t lie, they’re just inconvenient.
But as seems to be the case across great swathes of the planet, ‘swings between extremes‘ is the dominant setup — and Michigan is no different: Following the burst heat and humidity of a few weeks ago, the weekend just gone saw the mercury crash below freezing.

“Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
Again, ‘swings between extremes‘ sums up South America’s winter — from record warmth, to record chills and exceptional snow totals.
A powerful winter storm has delivered in excess of 12 feet of snow to ski areas across the Andes.
Below are the top 4 totals to hit Argentina and Chile this week during what PowderQuest labelled a “mega snowstorm”:

1) Las Leñas, Argentina — 13 feet (4m)
2) Portillo, Chile — 8 feet (2.4m)
3) Valle Nevado, Chile — 5-6 feet (1.8m)
4) Catedral, Argentina — 4 feet (1.5m)

Heavy falls also hit southern Chilean resorts, with Corralco reporting almost 4 feet (1.2m) in the last 36 hours alone, and Nevados de Chillan noting 3.4 feet (1.05m).
Ski resorts up and down and around the Andes are celebrating the recent record-challenging totals as they suggest great business for the remainder of the season.
NOTE: this is consistent with the ECMWF model forecasts that I monitor: 260 to 550 cm over the past 11 days

‘Polar Blast’ Hits Australia
Another polar air mass is about to sweep up from the Southern Ocean and engulf much of Australia’s southeast.
Following what was a frosty August 17, during which a host of SE locales posted their lowest temperatures in years, the mercury will crash even harder over this coming weekend. Low readings have also already impacted ‘nearby’ New Caledonia, with Ile Mare posting a very chilly 5.7C (42.3F) on Thursday.

A strong cold front will spread over NSW Friday into Saturday, bringing snow, heavy at times, to the ranges. Accumulations down to 800m (2,600ft) are expected in southern and central NSW, while the line will hold at about 900m (2,900ft) in the state’s north.
Parts of Tasmania and Victoria will also be affected by blast as a record cold Antarctica unleashes fiercely frigid pockets of polar air.

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records
Antarctica is cooling. The data confirm it.
Temperatures at the bottom of the world have routinely broken all-time records in recent times.
Antarctica endured its coldest-ever ‘coreless winter’ (April-Sept) in 2021, then shivered through practically all of 2022, posting colder-than-average month after colder-than-average month, including the coldest November since 1987 and the latest -60C (-76F) on record — with the year culminating in the South Pole Station averaging just -49.5C (-51.7F); -0.4C below the norm.

The historic chill has spilled into 2023, too.
Back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year; in July it logged Earth’s lowest temperature since 2017; and now, in mid-August, it’s breaking multiple all-time cold records at stations across the continent.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising

28 August 2023

Tropical Storms continued to dominate the weather this week as Tropical Storm Harold hit the SW Texas coast on 8/23/23 and moved northwest into NM and CO to dump heavy rain and causing coastal flooding in Texas.  The much welcome rain helped soil moisture and wild fire prevention going into fall. TS Hillary also quickly moved from LA to Boise on 8/22/23.  Now, Tropical Depression 10 off Cancun, Mexico is developing into a storm and potential hurricane IDALIA that is predicted to hit the Florida Panhandle this coming week.

Recall California had an unusually wet and cool spring, followed by some record heat and now is warming and drying with wild fires starting again.  Its “1000-year” extreme drought has been eliminated. Tioga Pass NE of Yosemite was still closed in July surpassing the previous 1938 record opening date of 9 July.  TS Hillary’s record rains caused local flash flooding and piled mud on streets in Palm Springs and washed out roads and homes.  Over a year’s rainfall fell in 24 hrs in many places including Death Valley. Drought Monitor maps show a dramatic change from last year.  Reservoirs are full; however to the east, the Colorado River system still needs much more water.

Many parts of the US from the Rockies to the Appalachians also had flash floods and severe thunderstorms and excessive heat.  Canadian cold fronts that are more typical of September and October triggered the severe weather.  Many areas from the US to Europe are experiencing initial fall like conditions a month early.  This is consistent with the Grand Solar Minimum.  However, hot ridges of high pressure continue to remind us that it is summer.  In Summit County, Colorado above 3000 m the aspen leaves are beginning to turn.

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

We have an exceptionally strong el Niño which has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  SST anomalies range from +1 at 180º to +4ºC at 120ºW.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

The Grand Solar Minimum GSM is living up to expectations this year by producing late spring weather in June, when the severe weather should be behind us.  From late killing frosts to tornadoes and hail storms North America is still experiencing extreme weather.  Nature balances the extremes from excessive Texas heat (+5-10ºC) to cool  (-2- -6ºC) rainy severe storms in the mid-west and NE.  A persistent low over Ontario again this week set up a cold front along the East coast that trigged severe storms and heavy rain. Another deep Atlantic storm SE of Iceland pulled moisture into Iceland and Greenland and is keeping Scotland and UK normally cool. August is having cool: 3 to 12ºC departures below normal in many areas of the US and Europe. The Alps had early snows in  ECMWF model runs and Italy observed some heavy snow at high elevations as this week’s deep trough hit the region.

Greenland’s daily SMB dropped to below normal, losing 8 GT in one day. It recovered as heavy snow hit the NW and E coastal mountains.  Low elevation coastal areas continue to melt.  The year’s accumulated SMB is still above normal.  see:

Spain regained its near record heat from Morocco and renewed its extreme fire danger last week as a ridge moved east pushing African heat northward.  Central Europe and western Russia balanced this with below normal days, with some clouds and precipitation.  Spain and Morocco were clear and hot.  This week a cold front and Mediterranean low will keep temperatures near to below normal.

Summer Convective storms dominated northern hemisphere precipitation again this week.

Extreme fires in Ontario, Canada ended.  The Ontario and Quebec low’s rain helped kill the fire and  clear the air and keep it cool.  However in the West, Yellowknife, NWT had large fires that caused the evacuation of over 20,00 people.  These fires in NW Canada persisted and expanded again this week.  Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire intensity:

The Northern Hemisphere is now transitioning to fall as the jet stream intensifies and moves south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. So far no frost at my house at 9684 ft msl.

Kredarica’s glacier is fragmented and mostly gone after the heavy rains of last week’s floods.

Valentina Zharkova's interview at the end of this link provides a comprehensive review of the GSM physics from an expert in this field.  Dr. Zharkova reviews the physics, mathematics, and relationships of solar cycles, orbital mechanics, magnetosphere impacts, volcano cycles, and el Nino cycles related to the earth’s inclination…

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (41-78cm) with many areas receiving 10 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-5 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 10-30 cm fell. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet is in a deep winter intense mode. It drives several large deep storms (940 to 968 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC.  A 948 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier (75-228 cm) on the Antarctic peninsula.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -35 to -44ºC.

Southern Africa set cold records as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it. These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 962 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to the Bite on 7 June.  This storm generated 14 m waves in the Southern Ocean SW of Perth.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 1-20 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 60-152 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast (151-264 mm).  The southern jet max stretched across Australia this week.

South America was cooling, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (82-150 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers ( 260-347 cm).  The central Andes SE of Santiago, Chile had the most new snow.  South Georgia Island had snows reaching 70-146 cm this week.

Argentina and Brazil are cooling,  some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

Study: CO2 Molecules Have Little Consequential Impact On Outgoing Radiation; + Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
August 24, 2023 Cap Allon

https://electroverse.info/co2-molecules-have-little-impact-benefits-removed/

Russian physicists (Smirnov and Zhilyaev, 2021) had their peer-reviewed paper published in the Advances in Fundamental Physics Special Issue for the journal Foundations.
After a detailed assessing of the role of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere, they assert: “w”e have a contradiction with the results of climatological models in the analysis of the Earth’s greenhouse effect.”
Key points from the paper:

1. Climate model calculations of CO2’s impact on global temperatures are in error by a factor of 5 as a result of “ignoring, in climatological models, the fundamental Kirchhoff law” which says radiators are “simultaneously the absorbers.”
2. Change in the concentration of an optically active atmospheric component (like CO2) “would not lead to change in the outgoing radiative flux.”
3. CO2 molecules “are not the main radiator of the atmosphere.” Water vapor molecules are, and thus they “may be responsible for the observed heating of the Earth.”

Climate Change ‘Benefits’ Removed From Geography Course
Once upon a time there were at least two sides to any story, but those days are dead. A UK exams body will no longer ask pupils to give explanations on the “positive” effects of climate change.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) made the update to the National 5 Geography course following pressure from the Scottish Green Party.

Temperature Crash In The Alps Leads To Additional Summer Snowfall; Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows; + “Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
August 28, 2023 Cap Allon
https://electroverse.info/alps-summer-snow-michigan-freezing-lows-mega-snowstorm-argentina-chile/

“The weather is now on the change,” said the alpine weather expert Fraser Wilkin of weathertoski.co.uk, “there will be some snow up on the glaciers, especially early in the week, when 50cm (20 inches) or more is possible.”
Despite mainstream bemoanings of ‘catastrophic heat’ and ‘glacial decline’, Austria’s Hintertux ski area has remained open this summer, as has Switzerland’s Zermatt and Saas-Fee, and also Italy’s Passp Stelvio resort.

Michigan Suffers Freezing August Lows
The United States, overall, is experiencing a cooler than average summer — the data don’t lie, they’re just inconvenient.
But as seems to be the case across great swathes of the planet, ‘swings between extremes‘ is the dominant setup — and Michigan is no different: Following the burst heat and humidity of a few weeks ago, the weekend just gone saw the mercury crash below freezing.

“Mega Snowstorm” Delivers 12 Feet Of Snow To Argentina And Chile
Again, ‘swings between extremes‘ sums up South America’s winter — from record warmth, to record chills and exceptional snow totals.
A powerful winter storm has delivered in excess of 12 feet of snow to ski areas across the Andes.
Below are the top 4 totals to hit Argentina and Chile this week during what PowderQuest labelled a “mega snowstorm”:

1) Las Leñas, Argentina — 13 feet (4m)
2) Portillo, Chile — 8 feet (2.4m)
3) Valle Nevado, Chile — 5-6 feet (1.8m)
4) Catedral, Argentina — 4 feet (1.5m)

Heavy falls also hit southern Chilean resorts, with Corralco reporting almost 4 feet (1.2m) in the last 36 hours alone, and Nevados de Chillan noting 3.4 feet (1.05m).
Ski resorts up and down and around the Andes are celebrating the recent record-challenging totals as they suggest great business for the remainder of the season.
NOTE: this is consistent with the ECMWF model forecasts that I monitor: 260 to 550 cm over the past 11 days

‘Polar Blast’ Hits Australia
Another polar air mass is about to sweep up from the Southern Ocean and engulf much of Australia’s southeast.
Following what was a frosty August 17, during which a host of SE locales posted their lowest temperatures in years, the mercury will crash even harder over this coming weekend. Low readings have also already impacted ‘nearby’ New Caledonia, with Ile Mare posting a very chilly 5.7C (42.3F) on Thursday.

A strong cold front will spread over NSW Friday into Saturday, bringing snow, heavy at times, to the ranges. Accumulations down to 800m (2,600ft) are expected in southern and central NSW, while the line will hold at about 900m (2,900ft) in the state’s north.
Parts of Tasmania and Victoria will also be affected by blast as a record cold Antarctica unleashes fiercely frigid pockets of polar air.

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records; + The BBC Attempts To Rewrite The History Books

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records
Antarctica is cooling. The data confirm it.
Temperatures at the bottom of the world have routinely broken all-time records in recent times.
Antarctica endured its coldest-ever ‘coreless winter’ (April-Sept) in 2021, then shivered through practically all of 2022, posting colder-than-average month after colder-than-average month, including the coldest November since 1987 and the latest -60C (-76F) on record — with the year culminating in the South Pole Station averaging just -49.5C (-51.7F); -0.4C below the norm.
The historic chill has spilled into 2023, too.
Back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year; in July it logged Earth’s lowest temperature since 2017; and now, in mid-August, it’s breaking multiple all-time cold records at stations across the continent.

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising

21 August 2023

AUGUST 2023 continues to have catastrophic extreme weather from the historic floods in Slovenia to the rare tropical storm (Hilary) floods in California and the wild fires in Canada’s NW Territory and devastating Lahaina flash fire.  

Hurricane Hilary rapidly moved up the Mexico coast into southern California transporting huge amounts of tropical moisture into the US.  This is a rare event where the unusually warm waters off Baja combined with a jet stream in a sharp trough to bring Hillary into CA and north up to Idaho today.  Satellite imagery clearly show this tropical Atmospheric River streaming up from Mexico to Montana.  The last tropical storm to hit CA was in 1939.  It caused catastrophic damage.  Today, the Los Angles Basin and surrounding mountains have extreme flooding, debris flows, damaged roads and bridges from the 2-10 inch rains.  Many areas received a year’s rain in less than 24 hrs.  see the weather album for details.

Many parts of the US from the Rockies to the Appalachians also had flash floods and severe thunderstorms and excessive heat.  Canadian cold fronts that are more typical of September and October triggered the severe weather.  Many areas from the US to Europe are experiencing initial fall like conditions a month early.  This is consistent with the Grand Solar Minimum.  However, hot ridges of high pressure continue to remind us that it is summer.

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

We have an exceptionally strong el Niño which has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns this winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

The Grand Solar Minimum GSM is living up to expectations this year by producing late spring weather in June, when the severe weather should be behind us.  From late killing frosts to tornadoes and hail storms North America is still experiencing extreme weather.  Nature balances the extremes from excessive Texas heat to cool rainy severe storms in the mid-west and NE.  Flash Floods were a problem again in the NE.  A persistent low over Ontario again this week set up a cold front along the East coast that trigged severe storms and heavy rain. Another deep Atlantic storm SE of Iceland pulled moisture into Iceland and Greenland and is keeping Scotland and UK normally cool. August is having cool: 3 to 12ºC departures below normal in many areas of the US and Europe. The Alps had early snows in  ECMWF model runs and Italy observed some heavy snow at high elevations as this week’s deep trough hit the region.

Greenland’s daily SMB dropped to below normal, losing 8 GT in one day. It recovered as heavy snow hit the NW.  The year’s accumulated SMB is still above normal.  see:
 
http://polarportal.dk/en/greenland/surface-conditions/

Spain regained its near record heat from Morocco and renewed its extreme fire danger last week as a ridge moved east pushing African heat northward.  Central Europe and western Russia balanced this with below normal days, with some clouds and precipitation.  Spain and Morocco were clear and hot breaking heat records again.

Summer Convective storms dominated northern hemisphere precipitation again this week. .

Extreme fires in Ontario, Canada ended.  The Ontario and Quebec low’s rain helped kill the fire and  clear the air and keep it cool.  However in the west, Yellowknife, NWT had large fires that caused the evacuation of over 20,00 people.  Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire intensity:

https://www.windy.com/-Fire-intensity-fires?fires,48.980,-79.893,4,i:pressure,m:e8ead2B  

 California had an unusually wet and cool spring, followed by some record heat and now is warming and drying with wild fires starting again.  . Its “1000-year” extreme drought has been eliminated. Drought Monitor maps show a dramatic change from last year.  Reservoirs are full; however to the east, the Colorado River system needs much more water.  Tioga Pass NE of Yosemite was still closed surpassing the previous 1938 record opening date of 9 July.

The Northern Hemisphere is now transitioning to fall as the jet stream intensifies in pulses and moves south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. So far no frost at my house at 9684 ft msl.

Kredarica’s glacier is fragmented and mostly gone after the heavy rains of last week’s floods.

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (56-73cm) with many areas receiving 10 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-4 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 10-30 cm fell. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued unusual snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet is in a deep winter intense mode. It drives several large deep storms (947 to 968 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC.  A 948 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier (177-365 cm) on the Antarctic peninsula.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -35 to -44ºC.

Southern Africa sets cold records as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it. These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 962 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to the Bite on 7 June.  This storm generated 14 m waves in the Southern Ocean SW of Perth.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 3-31 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 72-125 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast (120-205 mm).  The southern jet max stretched across Australia this week.

 South America was cooling, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (177-365 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers ( 420-537 cm).  The central Andes SE of Santiago, Chile had the most new snow.  South Georgia Island had snows reaching 70-164 cm this week. Argentina and Brazil are cooling,  some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

‘Polar Blast’ Hits Australia
Another polar air mass is about to sweep up from the Southern Ocean and engulf much of Australia’s southeast.
Following what was a frosty August 17, during which a host of SE locales posted their lowest temperatures in years, the mercury will crash even harder over this coming weekend. Low readings have also already impacted ‘nearby’ New Caledonia, with Ile Mare posting a very chilly 5.7C (42.3F) on Thursday.

A strong cold front will spread over NSW Friday into Saturday, bringing snow, heavy at times, to the ranges. Accumulations down to 800m (2,600ft) are expected in southern and central NSW, while the line will hold at about 900m (2,900ft) in the state’s north.
Parts of Tasmania and Victoria will also be affected by blast as a record cold Antarctica unleashes fiercely frigid pockets of polar air.

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records; + The BBC Attempts To Rewrite The History Books

Antarctica Breaks *Multiple* All-Time Low Temperature Records
Antarctica is cooling. The data confirm it.
Temperatures at the bottom of the world have routinely broken all-time records in recent times.
Antarctica endured its coldest-ever ‘coreless winter’ (April-Sept) in 2021, then shivered through practically all of 2022, posting colder-than-average month after colder-than-average month, including the coldest November since 1987 and the latest -60C (-76F) on record — with the year culminating in the South Pole Station averaging just -49.5C (-51.7F); -0.4C below the norm.
The historic chill has spilled into 2023, too.
Back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year; in July it logged Earth’s lowest temperature since 2017; and now, in mid-August, it’s breaking multiple all-time cold records at stations across the continent.

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.
IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising
For more than a century, sea levels have been dropping across the Northern European cities of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki — that was, until 2020 when the IPCC’s new AR6 Sea Level Projection Tool inexplicably promoted an all-round sea level rise.
The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.

14 August 2023

Horrific extreme events dominated the weather news over the past two weeks.  Record catastrophic floods in Slovenia followed by the horrific flash fire in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii.  Lahaina was totally destroyed by a wildfire driven by 70 to 80 kt winds as Hurricane Dora passed to the south and an Arctic high pressure to the north produced an extremely tight pressure gradient.  Aircraft could not fight the fire due to high winds. As of 14 August, there were 96 confirmed dead and over 1000 still missing.

Many parts of the US from the Rockies to the Appalachians also had flash floods and severe thunderstorms.  Canadian cold fronts that are more typical of September and October triggered the severe weather.  Many areas from the US to Europe are experiencing initial fall like conditions a month early.  This is consistent with the Grand Solar Minimum.

The West’s SW Monsoon continued this week.  It produced significant rains and severe weather with large thunderstorms and flash flooding. This brought clouds and summer convective showers and storms with flash flooding..  Clouds and showers of course cool the hot summer days.  Denver remained below 90ºF and the mountains were in the low 70s. Denver had a cool max temperature of 69ºF last week when a Canadian front brought clouds in upslope conditions. Severe weather developed along the cold fronts.  Again this weekend a Canadian cold front is passing thru Colorado in route to the Gulf of Mexico.  It looks like we are month a head of normal.  Dry conditions will prevail this week.

One important aspect of the Grand Solar Minimum is an increase in clouds due to its impact on our solar system’s magnetosphere and increased numbers of deep space cosmic rays penetrating our upper atmosphere and generating cloud condensation nuclei.  Clouds produce many complex phenomena ranging from cooling as solar radiation is reflected back to space, to surface warming as heat is retained at night and radiational cooling is reduced.   On a large scale these differences in temperature gradients can control the winds and jet stream dynamics.  Clouds also impact the sea surface temperature SST which can have profound impacts on the Earth’s energy budget from the El Niño to Jet stream intensity and location. We shall see if this fall brings early crop killing frosts as predicted in the GSM.

We have an exceptionally strong el Niño which has generated strong vertical shear in the subtropics limiting tropical storm development this hurricane season.  The strong El Niño continues to intensify in the Eastern Pacific.  This is similar to the 1983-84 period that produced very heavy late season snow in the Colorado River Basin that filled and spilled reservoirs in the second winter.  That was the first time Lakes Mead and Powell filled.  We’ll see if that pattern returns the winter with heavy snows in the Rockies.

Dr. Valentina Zharkova, a solar expert from the Ukraine, talks about the sun’s impact on the el Niño in her interview below.  She reviews the Grand Solar Minimum and solar system impacts on climate variability.

The Grand Solar Minimum GSM is living up to expectations this year by producing late spring weather in June, when the severe weather should be behind us.  From late killing frosts to tornadoes and hail storms North America is still experiencing extreme weather.  Nature balances the extremes from excessive Texas heat to cool rainy severe storms in the mid-west and NE.  Flash Floods were a problem again in the NE.  A persistent low over Ontario again this week set up a cold front along the East coast that trigged severe storms and heavy rain. Another deep Atlantic storm SE of Iceland pulled moisture into Iceland and Greenland and is keeping Scotland and UK normally cool. August is having cool: 3 to 12ºC departures below normal in many areas of the US and Europe. The Alps had early snows in  ECMWF model runs and Italy observed some heavy snow at high elevations as this week’s deep trough hit the region.

Greenland’s daily SMB dropped to below normal, losing 8 GT in one day. It recovered as heavy snow hit the NW.  The year’s accumulated SMB is still above normal.  see:
 
http://polarportal.dk/en/greenland/surface-conditions/

Spain regained its near record heat from Morocco and renewed its extreme fire danger last week.  Central Europe and western Russia balanced this with below normal days, with some clouds and precipitation.  Spain and Morocco were clear and hot breaking heat records again. The Bermuda and Azores Highs merged to form a dominant 1032 ridge over the Atlantic from SE US to W Europe, thus blocking tropical air from Africa.  This has kept northern Spain relatively cool in August…

Summer Convective storms dominated northern hemisphere precipitation again this week.  United Airlines CEO said that they may have more delays due to thunderstorms, he neglected to mention the heat also requires a longer runway or less aircraft weight to take off.  Less dense air (HOT AIR) has less lift.  This is a serious problem in Denver during the summer — A normal event, not global warming.

Extreme fires in Ontario, Canada ended.  The Ontario and Quebec low’s rain helped kill the fire and  clear the air and keep it cool.  Electroverse provided several analyses of the areal extent and number of wildfires this week.  These show a decrease since the 1930s.  windy.com shows the fire intensity:

https://www.windy.com/-Fire-intensity-fires?fires,48.980,-79.893,4,i:pressure,m:e8ead2B  

 California had an unusually wet and cool spring, followed by some record heat and now is warming and drying with wild fires starting again. Its “1000-year” extreme drought has been eliminated. Drought Monitor maps show a dramatic change from last year.  Reservoirs are full; however to the east, the Colorado River system needs much more water.  Tioga Pass NE of Yosemite was still closed surpassing the previous 1938 record opening date of 9 July.

The Northern Hemisphere is now transitioning to fall as the jet stream intensifies in pulses and moves south.   This pattern appears to be a month early. GSM impacts??  Short waves trigger storms as they become more frequent and more powerful.  Their wind shear can still spin up tornadoes in convective storms normally seen in spring and fall.  Omega blocking ridges control the speed of system movement.  Several Canadian cold fronts brought cool air to the northern states last week. Now they are extending into the Gulf of Mexico.  This is a sign of fall. So far no frost at my house at 9684 ft msl.

Kredarica’s glacier is fragmented and mostly gone after the heavy rains of last week’s floods.

TropicalTidbits.com  (forecast models) also gives you a look at the temperature departures from normal associated with these storms.  You can see the warm and cold sectors - the normal variations of global temperature.

The Himalayas continued notable snows (73-79 cm) with many areas receiving 10 to 30 cm. The Tibetan Plateau is high ~3-4 km msl with new snow from the Himalaya to Shan ranges and across the interior where 10-30 cm fell. This high elevation massif is a major factor controlling weather patterns.  Its continued snowfall this summer may have a significant impact.

Southern hemisphere jet is in a deep winter intense mode. It drives several large deep storms (917 to 968 mb) circling the Antarctic. Antarctic now has large areas in the interior below -70º C as measured in Windy’s satellite surface temperatures and surface observations to -80ºC.  A 948 mb low was north of the Thwaites Glacier (199-359 cm) on the Antarctic peninsula.  Howling blizzards are still circling the Antarctic coast with 30 to 60 kt winds near these storms.  The Ross Sea and Weddell Sea remain closed with sea Ice.  McMurdo Base has been quite cold at -35 to -44ºC.

Southern Africa sets cold records as deep cyclonic storms march across the South Atlantic pumping Arctic Air northward.  Even Madagascar and Reunion Island set new cold records and had some snow in recent weeks.
 
AUSTRALIA had another series of Antarctic Highs cooling it. These Antarctic blasts had been setting new cold records in June and July.  Sydney set a new cold summer record when it failed to reach 32ºC (89.6ºF) in December. Australia’s Victoria and South Australia had some much below normal temperatures and cold records to -2.7ºC.  Western Australia cooled as the Antarctic waves moved  north. Frosts developed in Queensland and the NW Territories - in subtropical Australia!  A large 962 mb storm extended from the Antarctic to the Bite on 7 June.  This storm generated 14 m waves in the Southern Ocean SW of Perth.  This week the Snowy Range and Tasmanian volcano picked up 3-31 cm of new snow respectively. Note: this year was the first since 1987 when Australia’s mountains had snow on the ground all year.  The mean February temperature was 0.2ºC below normal making the summer mean temp 0.5ºC below normal. New Zealand continues to have snows over the South Island with 72-125 cm and heavy rain at low elevations on the West coast (120-205 mm).  The southern jet max stretched across Australia this week.

 South America was cooling, while the Antarctic was cold and had significant (199-359 cm) coastal snows.  The Andes continued to build their glaciers ( 125-315 cm).  South Georgia Island had snows reaching 22-123 cm this week.

Argentina and Brazil are cooling,  some Antarctic cold bursts have triggered thunderstorms and locally heavy rains in the South of Brazil.  At the end of April,  a strong Antarctic front flipped Argentina into winter breaking many cold temperature records and cutting crop growth with early summer frosts. This is the GSM’s classic impact like the LITTLE ICE AGE where growing seasons are drastically shortened.  Recall the US winter wheat crop was damaged by killing frost in January.  Crop harvests in Brazil and Argentina have significantly below normal yields due to drought.  Brazil also had its earliest snowfall of record.  Argentina broke cold records again this week.

UT And CO Still Have Snow
The MSM’s refusal to report realities such as the following are testament to the agenda at play.
Snow is lingering at Alta Ski Area, Utah in mid-August — an exceptional 2 feet!
Switching to Colorado, Keystone Resort has gone and bested its previous record for the latest date ever snow tubed:

Keystone ‘s old record was August 6, but this year, thanks to the historic snow and great preservation work, the hill is still sliding strong with a goal to keep snow tubing running as late as Labor Day.


Barrier Reef Holding On To Record Coral Gains
Like the now stonewalled scares of extinct polar bears and an ice-free Arctic, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has gone the same way. MSM-peddled doomsday predictions have once again been proven pitifully inaccurate.

HISTORICALLY COLD ITALY; U.S. SKI INDUSTRY REPORTS RECORD-BREAKING 65.4 MILLION SKIER VISITS LAST SEASON; + A WARNING FROM HISTORY
Skier visitation numbers correlate with snowfall, and with 19 U.S. resorts posting their snowiest-ever seasons in 2022/23, skier visits rose in tandem.
https://electroverse.info/historically-cold-italy-u-s-record-skier-visits-warning-from-history/ 

Yesterday (Aug 8), a string of monthly low temperature records fell across the country, including in Sardinia.
Here, a new summer low of 14.2C (57.6F) was posted at Capo Frasca, with historic and near-freezing readings observed at the island’s interior, such as the 0.9C (33.6F) at Ilorai, 1.8C (35.2F) at Gavoi and 2.7C (36.9F) at Villanova — all new August lows.
The mountainous snows are also persisting:
U.S. Ski Industry Reports Record-Breaking 65.4 Million Skier Visits Last Season
The final skier visit numbers for the 2022-23 season have been calculated. NSAA reports a new record visitation of 65.4 million skiers and riders to U.S. slopes, besting last year’s number–the previous record in data extending back to 1978/79.
These are the inconvenient facts Jack — and here’s another: Despite the blistering–and much publicized–heat currently ‘domed’ over the southern United States, the country overall is seeing a cooler-than-average summer:

Argentina Shivers
A mass of polar cold has been in charge across Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay of late.
A host of towns and cities in southern Patagonia have spent 5+ days without exceeding the freezing mark (0C/32F), with overnight lows plunging to an astonishing -15C (5F), and beyond.

It’s Snowing Across Europe’s Higher Elevations
Let me guess alarmists, heavy summer snow is in line with ‘global warming predictions’…
While the media focuses on a tiny slither of southern Europe, blowing the summer warmth and wildfires there out of all proportions so as to forward their warped anti-CO2 agenda, the majority of the continent has been shivering this July.
Literally shivering, with summer frosts and record lows noted across eastern nations–in particular:

Climate Fails, The List Is Exhaustive
June 26, 2023 Cap Allon
Fear prevents us from thinking. The emotional panic that accompanies fear actually shuts down the prefrontal cortex –the rational thinking part– of our brains. A populace that stops thinking for itself is a populace that is easily led, easily manipulated and easily controlled.

To Monday (June 26), Alaska wildfires have burned barely 1,300 acres — the smallest area by this time of year in records stretching back three decades.

According to Rick Thoman, climate specialist with Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, this year’s cold spring has been the key attributing factor, resulting in a late snowmelt; but it’s not the only one: Low pressure across the Bering Sea and very few thunderstorms are other contributing phenomena.  The Alaska Interagency Coordination Center has reported a total of 129 wildfires statewide and 1,314 acres burned. Of those wildfires, 110 were started by human causes, with the other 19 caused by lighting.
“The typical acres burned at this point in the season, June 26, is about 175,000 acres,” said Thoman.

IPCC Defy Data To Claim Scandinavian Sea Levels Are Rising
For more than a century, sea levels have been dropping across the Northern European cities of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki — that was, until 2020 when the IPCC’s new AR6 Sea Level Projection Tool inexplicably promoted an all-round sea level rise.
The discovery has baffled Ole Humlum, Emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. To him, it appears that this tool was not produced to test the validity of a scientific idea. It was instead an attempt to “alarm the user”.
https://clintel.org/thorough-analysis-by-clintel-shows-serious-errors-in-latest-ipcc-report/  

Since this new IPCC computer modelling was released in 2020, ‘alarm’ has indeed been the prevailing messaging, with apocalyptic ‘flooding projections’ infecting every corner of the mainstream media.

Honest climate debates departed the public sphere many moons ago — they are no longer permitted.
Even in the face of spectacular predictive failures, mainstream TV and radio stations WILL NOT host discussions on the validity of the AGW theory, “The Science is settled”, after all.
