I had been interested in finding out if climate change is making SSWs more common, the answer seems to be no but there is a case to be made that it is increasing their duration. Anyone read anything else that studies this? “Regarding long-term change, we found a statistically significant increase in the duration of SSW main-phase warmings of about 5(±2) d over the climate change period from the 1980s to the 2010s, raising the average duration by nearly 50 % from about 10 d to 15 d and inducing an SSW strength increase of about 40(±25) million km2 days from about 100 to 140 million km2 days.” Monitoring sudden stratospheric warmings under climate change since 1980 based on reanalysis data verified by radio occultation ACP.COPERNICUS.ORG Abstract. We developed a new approach to monitor sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events under climate change since 1980 based on reanalysis data verified by...

I see you are from Cork as well, do you really see potential for Cork in this setup? Our geographical position is usually the worst of most on this thread for snow!!

Hi all, Firstly just to state I do believe in man made climate change so I am not one of the sceptics. My question is have there been any studies on the effects the increase in water vapour in the atmosphere from the Tonga volcano has had on the weather this year? Coupled with an El Nino has this had a greater effect on SSTs and air temps than expected?

I am after buying an ecowitt weather station and now I am deciding where to put it. We have a small front garden and fairly small back garden that has a 2m and in some parts 3m high wall. My wife doesn't want a 2m pole in the front garden and having a 2m pole in the middle of the back garden wouldn't work either with kids playing ball. I am thinking of going with the below bolted towards the top of the wall. Thoughts and any other recommendations? Btw got a similar type steel one of 50mm diameter but it looked way too bulky.

This may be a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. With a warming world is there more likelihood of SSWs due to the potential for higher temps to reach the Arctic and cause a displacement or SSW?

I had always wondered then why is the Pacific coast of Peru so dry until I found out it is due to the Humboldt Current, maybe we should invest in one of those for a while!! Humboldt Current - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

We had a very wet Atlantic dominated October in the south of Ireland in 2009 and we all know what happened next.............we can live in hope anyway!
