August 2020 – temperature anomalies
I am still struggling to give this specific area of the globe I use in the above chart a name. It more or less covers one quadrant (if that is the right word) of the whole …

Comparing reanalysis anomalies with those from observed values
When viewed as mean temperature anomalies from reanalysis data for the first sixteen days of August 2020, the recent heatwave in the southeast of England looks a little less dramatic. The core of the greatest warmth …

Prolonged Siberian heat attributed to climate change and misleading graphics
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 …

I wonder if the cold across Alaska, Arctic Canada, Greenland and the Barents Sea can also be attributed to climate change?
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 …

It’s just not “feeling cool” in places, it’s just plain cold
I have just been listening to Chris Fawkes the weathercaster on duty this lunchtime in the BBC News. He’s always loathed to say much about Scotland in his forecasts, and when he does he always seems …

Flaming June
It’s been downhill all the way so far this June as far as temperatures are concerned, and it’s been rather wet in a few places as well.
A cold day in June
Today was just a cold day. None of this ‘cool’ bollocks pedalled by the weathercasters, just a plain cold day in June with anomalies widley in the range of -4°C to -6°C. It was dry in …
