I see than Moscow has been having some "proper" cold over the last couple of days, with maxima of around -20. When I first started looking at the European city temperatures in my newspaper around 50 years ago, you might see those sort of temperatures there once every couple of years or so, but they are pretty rare now.

Was just surfing!

I thought Yakutsk or Verkhoyansk was the coldest part of Siberia - But 39 km south east of Oymyakon there is somewhere called Tomtor:

Expecting a high of -60c Tuesday and low of -66c Tuesday night! - People live there as well? Must be a record breaking cold weather for them surely or near it??❄

Yes, it seems that way doesn't it?
However Australia is as big as the USA and the record flooding is mostly no doubt, related to the locality as we have seen there - California, Mid West or East Coast as examples.

Agreed, Albanese (the newish PM) said after the latest WA floods that in his first 6 months of being PM he has witnessed 5 or 6 "major" e.g. 1 in a 100 year events across different states, so pretty much the whole country has copped it. La Nina, IOD and SAM have all undoubdtedly played their part but it has been horrendous. Driving over there last November and looking at Google Maps, I would say in the worst flood affected areas of VIC, 50% of the roads were closed by flooding, and those reopened make our potholes pale into insignificance in general.

Yes just reading and this could be why there has been a constant Siberian high since December?

Now 855cm for the season and another storm now until Tuesday with another four feet of snow. Webcam looks fantastic right now.

LOL. It took me a few days to work out how to reply/quote.

Worth remembering that it’s not just California that’s been affected and that the areas hit are, I think, akin to mush of the U.K. being hit.

Seem a record amount of rain nearly 6 inches in 1 location in Famagusta region today.   Very funny the first video showing 2 Cypriots canoeing down the river alike flowing on the road.  Sadly the red soil which good for crops had washed away to the sea to become red sea.

Probably not a 1 in a 100 year event this time but not far off it I imagine. This time it's the turn of Queensland specifically the central north coast, around the Whitsundays / Hamilton Island for those that know it.

Many places in the area have had over 500mm in the last 3 and a half days, Proserpine is up over 750mm in the same time, and likely to be a fair bit over 1 metre of rain in 5 or 6 days by the time the system moves off the coast, on Wednesday.

Already more than we have in a year down here... in 4 days.

I was just reviewing recent weather in Svalbard and it's been exceptionally mild again. It used to be that you would see a couple of days where the temperature reached or exceeded freezing point from December to March. In the last 30 days it has done that 11 times!

I seem to remember Mammoth Lakes always getting huge snowfalls, when I used to check the ski club snow reports on Ceefax, when I was young

Ukraine had its warmest January day on record  on the 19th. 21.1c in Djankoi.

Ukraine became the 11th European country to have its warmest ever January day this month!

Seem that Putin stop bombing their energy infrastructure since the mild to warm weather arrived early Jan.  Seem that we will have another hot summer again from the way the warmth cant wait to resume early again.
