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

Sorry I just can't remember seeing the Hurricane Center's tropical update map that clear in hurricane season.

 

That's how it looks in July most hurricane seasons.

 

I was just outside a few minutes ago. Got goose bumps. Chilly for July. I figure it's probably the polar ice caps melting releasing that cold air into the atmosphere. Can't win.

 

Hurricane activity has paused. Here's when it may come back to life

The short answer is that they’re still coming and that the current break in activity isn’t unexpected or unusual. It could well be the calm before the storm. Hurricane season doesn’t peak until Sept. 10 on average, with activity often lasting well into November. Moreover, the weather patterns expected to help fuel an active season are just starting to take shape.

A burgeoning La Niña weather pattern will favor more upward-moving air across the Atlantic, enhancing the number of storms that can form. It will also help promote weaker-than-normal upper-level winds that favor increased storm organization. Meanwhile, record-warm water temperatures will provide ample fuel to make storms stronger.

Storm activity so far this season is actually running ahead of average, despite the recent hiatus. A season’s first named storm forms on average around June 20; this year, Alberto formed on June 19. By Aug. 3, two storms have typically developed. Three have already formed this year, though Chris was a marginal storm that lasted only about 12 hours. Also of note: A season’s first hurricane doesn’t usually materialize until Aug. 11, and a Category 3 or stronger hurricane until Sept. 1. Yet Beryl became a hurricane on June 29 and an “extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane” on June 30.​

 

Last Sunday was Earth's hottest day in recorded history


WASHINGTON (AP) — On Sunday, the Earth sizzled to the hottest day ever measured by humans, yet another heat record shattered in the past couple of years, according to the European climate service Copernicus Tuesday.

Copernicus' preliminary data shows that the global average temperature Sunday was 17.09 degrees Celsius (62.76 degrees Fahrenheit), beating the record set just last year on July 6, 2023 by .01 degrees Celsius (.02 degrees Fahrenheit). Both Sunday's mark and last year's record obliterate the previous record of 16.8 degrees Celsius (62.24 degrees Fahrenheit), which itself was only a few years old, set in 2016.

 

Looks like another update is in order.

World breaks hottest day record twice in a week

 

Orders a crate of sharpies...

 

Global warming is over!! July 2024 was NOT the hottest month ever.

Let's rejoice togeth... Oh wait.

"For the first time in more than a year, the planet did not set a new monthly global temperature record. However, Earth did experience its two warmest days on record globally in July, and it's becoming increasingly likely that 2024 will end up as the warmest year on record

"Last month registered as both the second-warmest July and the second-warmest overall month on record globally, marking the end of 13 months of record-breaking global temperature values for the respective month of the year"

 

What will you say if in a year or so if we end up having one of the cooler years we’ve had in decades?

 

I'll be glad for all the humans that live on this planet and I'll view it as another data point.

 

We need 4 more years of Trump. It was cooler during his presidency.

Amid an onslaught of lethal heat, surging disease and record-breaking storms, global temperatures this summer climbed to the highest levels on record, according to Europe’s top climate agency.

Global temperatures between June and August were 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above the preindustrial average, the Copernicus Climate Change Service said Friday — just edging out the previous record set last summer. The sweltering season reached its apex in late July, when Copernicus’s sophisticated temperature analysis program detected the four hottest days ever recorded.

Meanwhile, temperatures for the year to date have far exceeded anything seen in the agency’s more than 80 years of recordkeeping, making it all but certain that 2024 will be the hottest year known to science.

 

It’s only getting hotter because we are measuring it. If we got rid of the thermometers and stopped measuring, then we would have the most beautiful, perfect climate, although some people call it weather.

 

I've been in North Carolina for the last few months, and I must say I love climate change (formerly Global warming)

 

It snowed in Colorado yesterday ergo it's all a hoax, right?

 

Just to be clear, global warming is still totally a thing.

You're pretty funny

 

Thanks. You’re not so bad yourself.
