Dam that global warming for making it colder.
Autumn arrived weeks early, and it was not difficult to predict in advance, as it is a sign of global cooling, a pattern that has been developing in recent years. This year continues the now apparent cooling trend, with Europe, Russia, and North America enduring a string of bitterly cold nights this week, as records tumble across multiple nations. Record cold is smashing down on hundreds of millions of Americans (see details below). Do I have to remind anyone that it is still summer?
U.S. Sees Nationwide Anomaly Of -5.9°F and Record-Seƫng Cold. A powerful, unseasonably cold late-August chill is sweeping the lower 48, felling records all over the country. According to data from meteorologist Ryan Maue, the U.S. national temperature anomaly for August 27 stands at -5.9°F compared to the muldecadal norm — a stark departure when averaged across such a vast landmass. A powerful cold front originaƟng from Canada is poised to dominate the central and eastern parts of the country. GFS runs show widespread anomalies of 12°C to 16°C below the 30-year norm, with pockets even colder.
Hundreds of low-temperature benchmarks have fallen across the U.S. this week. Parts of the Plains and Midwest registered temperature departures of as much as 30°F below average Tuesday/Wednesday, sparking frost advisories in the Upper Midwest.
Frost advisories were hoisted across northern Minnesota as lows dipped into the 30s in August. By Tuesday, Oklahoma City may struggle to crack 70°F (21°C), while the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest fall into the 40s overnight. This is no passing chill. Even NOAA’s outlook carries below-average temperatures through the end of August and into early September — a fall preview weeks ahead of schedule.
