Immense sadness reading all these records. Worrying times. The only comfort we can cling to now is artificial interference or the theories of induced cooling somehow being correct. Hmm… strange times. 

Yep, not been a good year in many places heat wise, most worrying are the winter heat waves.

Where’s the heat? Many Canadian cities failed to hit 30 degrees in August - The Weather Network

The relentlessly active weather we’ve seen across the eastern half of Canada this season is proof that extreme heat isn’t the only trick up summer’s sleeve

 

It's not the other side of the coin though, it part and parcel of the chaos.

Brief falls of snow earlier this morning in Zermatt after 31C few days ago

The thing is, when users on here point out cold records and unusually cold spells happening across the planet, and yes they still do happen, but I don’t really like the argument that it’s the other side of the coin in terms of severe weather on this planet. If we saw an equal amount of exceptionally below normal temperatures and above normal temperatures, then I’d get it, but it’s so obvious to me it’s loaded towards above average. Local records are of interest and do make me breathe a sigh of relief, but compared to swathes across multiple continents, it just doesn’t hold much weight to me. No hate to anyone.

No one thinks that the weather is cooling. It is, at the moment, still warming.

But by seeing that cold weather records are still being broken, should make people aware that the weather is highly regional, and the climate is based upon regional weather - not everywhere will get scorching temperatures in the world at the same time. Take the next week for example.

Its all about having a balanced factual view, not outright belief that we are necessarily doomed.

You’d be surprised, a lot of people do think the former. There are hoards of YouTube channels out there dedicated to it. 

Ultimately I don’t think I said anything that opposes anything you stated here other than agreeing with a poster (can’t remember who) who said that just because some local records get broken, it really doesn’t mean much of anything compared to the rest of the world. I don’t believe we are doomed. I think there are climatical potentials that could change everything, or/as well I think that scientific and technological breakthroughs could provide answers that we’re only beginning to see now, or perhaps don’t even have a grasp on. But for the foreseeable future, it doesn’t look too good.

This is a country not in a tropical zone, not in a particularly hot or traditionally monsoon area, surrounded by supposedly cooling ocean water and...

The tropics are moving North, and everything else will shift as well.

It will be interesting to see how winter pans out, in terms of potential northern blocking with a heavy transfer of warmth to the poles as a result of all the typhoon/hurricane activity.

After the heat and the fires, Greece is now getting terrible rain.

780mm is almost Manchester's annual average.

Unimaginable amounts of rain in Greece at the moment. I've been looking through a few amateur weather stations on weatherunderground and saw this one:

Personal Weather Station Dashboard | Weather Underground

WWW.WUNDERGROUND.COM

Weather Underground provides local & long-range weather forecasts, weather reports, maps & tropical weather conditions for locations worldwide.

That's 549mm of rain since midnight!

For reference, I recorded 503.0mm here in all of 2022.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Reef...

What you looked at was for the year!!!

Sept 4th is recorded as 1.19inches   (about 30mms), high,   but not unusual in a thundery spell.

The site that Reef referred too. only showed 1.19inches on the 4th.....

I didn't look any further than that.!!

Show me more sites with 500mms and I will believe it.

BBC reported that Zagora had 780mm of rain in 24 hours. I don't know about the location reef linked to though.

Thanks Cheese..

It looks like its developing into a Mediteranean hurricane. cant remember what nickname they re called.

We have seen one or two picked out over the last year or two.

I remember Cyprus being hit by one around 2003 -5 when I was there.
