SqueakheartLW looking at previous La Nina and how they developed from an El Nino im 90% sure we are heading into a La Nina..the set up and the cooling is very similar to previous transitions

sundog calling BS on the statement on sea surface temps hitting "shocking new high" average global sea surface temperatures are exactly the same as they were a year ago in April 2023 as they are now at 21.1c in 2016 they were 21.0c (last el nino).

MP-R August 1995 i would describe as very much in the vein of a typical July/August i get here on the Canadian prairies..dry warm/hot with low humidity and enough of a breeze to make it almost perfection in terms of summer weather

BlueSkies_do_I_see if the EU is like Canada then they only ever log you entering the country but never when you leave ..so they would have no idea if you had left or not after 90 days..and honestly i highly doubt officials would spend anytime trying to track you down

ANYWEATHER not really..in terms of technology history tells us the furture..it will happen..that's the problem with any future predictions we look at it through todays eyes and todays knowledge..im saying people alive 200 years ago would have no concept of todays world ..not a single person/scientist/politician could envisage the world we take for granted today...therefore we cant envisage the world in the future where our knowledge will be outdated and obsolete and the world we know today will be long dead and buried.

Sky Full two things that will happen in the next two centuries (assuming no nuclear conflict) is the world population will collapse to more sustainable levels... by 2200 i expect the population to be half what it is today if not even lower...secondly technology will have advanced at such a pace that we cant even imagine today where it will be or what it will look like...climate change will be a thing of the past by that point..everything we use and see in our everyday lives today will be gone...we will be as far removed from todays world as we are removed from the dark ages.

Sun Chaserno snow..i witnessed a cold front at ground level literally roll up the cloud mist and fog into glorious sunshine..you could walk and follow the back of the cloud and mist on the ground up the hill (this was in Southway btw) as it was pushed away..i have never seen such a clear definition between a warm and cold sector right on the ground.

Summer 1913 - The perfect summer for those who hate hot weather?
in Historic Weather
Posted · Edited by cheeky_monkey
1978 was also similar slightly cooler at overall 14.4c don't remember how wet it was though.
interestingly the period 1902-1922 had 7 summers that sit in the top 30 coldest summers in the records obviously 1913 doesn't make it
Addicks Fan 1981 1993 sits at 112 coldest..in my lifetime the top 3 coldest summers are 1972 (too young to remember) at 23 on the list and 1977 at 38 and 1978 at 41.
