July 21, 2024 was the hottest day ever (updated date)

Like El Nino?

Granted I could not see who you were responding to and what they said...

 

Fires all over Chile

 

All of the extreme weather tells us that we are plainly in a more rapid climate change now. What was previously extreme is now becoming normal

 

The Euro's love them some climate propaganda.

 

Maybe. But then I wonder why the data below should be considered propaganda and the views of Tony Heller should be considered truth?

Hottest January on record pushes 12-month global average temps over 1.5 degree threshold for first time ever



Heller’s reporting on summers being cooler now doesn’t even seem consistent with the reported monthly measurements, so this discrepancy needs to be explained.

See How 2023 Shattered Records to Become the Hottest Year

 

Also, Heller’s graphs in his tweets have no source and the y-axis is % of stations above 100F. So many unknowns in that graph. This is a great book for anyone interested

 

Good pick up. Percent of stations over 100F on July 25th sounds like a fairly nitpicked stat indeed.

And thanks for the book recommendation. I hadn’t seen this one before.

 

Global temperature is still off the charts. 2024’s temp will likely rival 2023’s and could even surpass it depending on how long this El Niño lasts.

If I'm reading the first graph in the story correctly, it appears there were more years between 1981-2020 below the mean than above the mean.

 

It’s hard to know for sure from this picture, but it appears the same way to my eye. That said, this will occur with the mean whenever the frequency distribution is asymmetrical. On the other hand, this cannot happen with the median, as the median is defined as the value at which 50% of the observed values are above and the other 50% are below.

 

Here in North texas was 93 degrees today, beating the prior record of 90 degrees for this date.

 

“Some of us don’t go to work when we’re probably suppose to,” laughed Lynch. “But it’s going to be cold in a few days so might as well enjoy it.”

Though 90 degrees in February is rare for North Texas it has happened before.

According to the National Weather Service, the earliest first occurrence of a 90-degree day in Dallas/Fort Worth happened on January 31 in 1911.

Monday’s record high of 93 on February 26 was the seventh earliest occurrence since record-keeping began.

 

February keepin' the streak alive! Every month since last June has been the hottest month on record.

So hot even Fox Weather agrees Earth sets heat records for 9 straight months as February 2024 goes down as planet’s hottest.

Of particular note is that the oceans continue to heat away:

Don't feel bad, February: March will be along soon to take the heat for you (pun intended).

 

People in northern climes complaining about warm weather in early March.

 

Funny fact: Some people in northern climes care more about the impacts of a rapidly heating globe than they care about seeing crocus a month early.

Indeed, some from northern climes complain from a selfish perspective: of how much money the lack of winter costs our economy - impacting employees, small businesses - all the way up to tax revenue.

I guess we should just be glad we're in our light down coats instead?

 

You should stop whining about the weather. Even scientists who believe (and it is a belief) that the globe is warning consider it a good thing.

 

Completely normal. Good times keep rolling.

Meanwhile 1/3 of the state of Maine without power again today as we get ravaged by a late Nor'easter.

 

Lol

 

We know where the next big earthquakes will happen — but not when

6) Climate change could have a tiny effect on earthquakes
In general, scientists haven’t measured any effect on earthquakes from climate change. But they’re not ruling out the possibility.

As average temperatures rise, massive ice sheets are melting, shifting billions of tons of water from exposed land into the ocean and allowing land masses to rebound. That global rebalancing could have seismic consequences, but signals haven’t emerged yet.

“What might occur is enough ice melts that could unload the crust,” Beroza said, but added there is no evidence for this, nor for which parts of the world will reveal a signal. Denolle agreed that this could be a mechanism, but if there is any impact from climate change on earthquakes, she says she suspects it will be very small.

 

I just heard on the radio it's going to be warmer tomorrow than it was today.
