Just noticed that on the 3rd of January, Port Stanley was warmer with a max of 19 C than Riyadh's max of 16 C. I know both are opposite end of the globe with their own respective climate type, but I don't think I've come across that in all my 40 years of data observation. 😎

I see that Mount Pleasant has daily records on weatheronline and enjoyed a high of 24C on Christmas Day. Looks like it has warmer summers than Stanley. Presumably it is more sheltered from sea breezes.

Any idea what happen to him lately?

This is from the New Scientist -
Quote:
After over a year of record-high global sea temperatures, the equatorial Atlantic is cooling off more quickly than ever recorded, which could impact weather around the world
What are readers views about this and what impacts might result?

Nicosia at the moment are under the record driest Jan ever so far at 0.4mm the lowest was 9mm back in 2014 so that looking very bad and servere drought will happen.  Those HP over the Europe and the Med are preventing from LP forming to give winter rains over there.  Snowfall in Troodos was nothing now just patchy after a false good start at 25cm in Dec.

Not just the Gulf Coast "extreme cold warnings throughout the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. With the wind chill, temperatures will be as low as -50C (-58F) in some areas." and it was only a couple of months ago that this area was recording record high temperatures"

Looking at the WeatherObs map right now it's amazing to see almost the whole USA subzero. Temps of -6C and lower right on the Gulf coast.

It is, of course, galling to see places like that have more snow on the ground than we've had here this millennium! Hell, there are people buying houses and raising children who've never seen that much.

All that cold air bodes ill for us, as it'll just keep the jet revved up.

If you wanted some proof of a bias in the mainstream media towards weather events having to be being global warming related. Just look at the lack of reporting of the record-breaking cold and the deep snow has fallen across Southern Louisiana and Florida... Hardly a mention on the BBC, shock! Had th[color=var(--bs-body-color)][font=system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"]is has been some record warmth somewhere they would have been all over another global warming blah blah blah story. [/font][/color]
Nearly a foot of snow falling right on the Gulf coast next to water that's currently around 20C that sits at latitude not far off the tropics.. Now that is what I'd call truly spectacular weather.
