I have often wondered if the severe winter of 1962-63 across Europe was caused by, or in someway enhanced by the nuclear testing that was going on at the time by the Soviet Union and Americans. …
Was the severe winter of 1962-63 caused or enhanced by nuclear testing? Read More »
Darren Bett and Meteogroup seem convinced that maximum temperatures will get up to 34°C in parts of the southeast on Friday afternoon – maybe it will or maybe it won’t – we will see. Here in …
Wikipedia reckon that there are three ‘poles of cold‘ in the world, two in the northern hemisphere in the Sakha in eastern Russia at Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon, and the other and by far the coldest in …
In the last five years estimates of global temp have been in a bit of a hiatus with temperatures still recovering from a decline since the record warm year of 2016. In fact if you look …
Recent Global Temperatures – more lies, damn lies and statistics Read More »
The NHC have surpassed themselves this year in forensically spotting six short lived tropical storms that have between them survived a total of 264 hours before transitioning to that great tropical cyclone up in the sky …
It still looks unlikely to me that by the end of this year 2020 will claim the crown of the warmest year from 2016. Rather it looks likely that 2020 will end up finishing second best …
Global temperatures – how likely is it that 2020 will take the crown from 2016? Read More »
It strikes me that the Met Office, who must have commissioned at least three of their scientific staff to spend the last few months in lock down to undertake this study, don’t seem to have the …
Prolonged Siberian heat attributed to climate change and misleading graphics Read More »
I notice that the Met Office have just put out an article ‘attributing’ the unprecedented warmth of the last six months in Siberia to climate change, so I thought I would take a closer look. As …
My own estimated global temperatures are still on the slide and have been since the 25th of February. I’ll be the first to admit that my findings aren’t supported at all by six out of the …
I thought I would expand the coverage of my chart of mean temperature anomalies to display anomalies right across the northern hemisphere this month (June 2020). It may have been very warm in June over parts …
Author: Grahame Madge 15:00 (UTC+1) on Thu 2 Jul 2020 As the planet warms, the intensity, frequency and duration of extreme weather events such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall is expected to increase. Corresponding decreases in cool …

I am still trying to puzzle out why the last week’s temperatures in Siberia provoked such a furore in the world’s social media channels, when much higher temperature anomalies across Asia and eastern Europe had been …
Maximum temperatures were over 9°C lower than yesterdays across the north and maximum temperature anomalies were generally between -2°C and -6°C below the LTA for the day, this combined with the wind and rain in the …
The world climate news at the moment is dominated with NWP images of Siberia covered in lurid orange and red coloured contours, and rightly so anomalies as high as +12°C are truly exceptional in a warming …
I have spent a couple of frustrating days updating these graphs of global temperatures I developed a number of years ago using the Highcharts Javascript library. Hopefully they are accurate and if I keep them regularly …
The Copernicus Global Temperatures series has been around for a few years now so I thought that I would spend some time adding the series to my Global Temperatures program that I have developed to keep …
How much a part of the increases in global temperature in recent years is down to hotspots and tectonic activity from the ocean floor? I would imagine this question must have been asked before, but warming …
April 2020 was the second warmest since 1850 in the HadCRUT v4 series with an anomaly of +0.8°C higher than the 1981-2010 LTA. 2020 is still playing second fiddle to 2016 which had a considerably warmer …
The NASA estimate of the global temperature anomaly during April 2020 was +1.16°C above the 1951-1980 LTA, that made it the warmest April since 1880, and more importantly it knocked April 2016 of top spot. So …
At least the University of Alabama in Huntsville, like me with my DIY global temperature series, also see a sharp decline in their estimated global temperature series for the lower atmosphere as measured by satellite in …
Poo poo this blog if you like, but the 365 day moving average in my DIY global temperature series continue to slide into May. It’s not that global temperatures in May aren’t still well above the …
The 365 day mean global temperatures that I calculate using NOAA reanalysis gridded data continued to fall back during April, as it did in March. The chart above shows now the centred moving average, which obviously …
I don’t know if northeast quarter-sphere is the proper way to describe the approximate extent of the temperature anomaly chart I’ve concocted for April 2020 below, but it’s the only one I can think of this …
