Temperatures in parts of China hit their lowest levels since records began, state broadcaster said. The provinces affected included Shanxi, Hebei and Liaoning as a cold wave gripped large swathes of the country. In Heilongjiang’s Yichun, a record low of minus 47.9 C (minus 54.2 F) was recorded in January 1980. This was broken early this week, according to a meteorological forecaster from the area. China’s president Xi Jinping called for an “all-out” emergency response to the cold snap that began at the start of the week. Snowfall and icy roads along with heavy fog caused multiple accidents on the roads as well.

The Chinese capital, Beijing, has experienced
its coldest December since records began in 1951.

Temperatures in the city have frequently fallen below -10C this month.

It has been a year of extremes in the capital: six months ago, Beijing recorded its hottest ever June day, at just over 40C.

China has been hit by several waves of extremely cold weather already this winter.

A Beijing weather observatory recently recorded more than 300 hours of below-freezing temperatures in under two weeks, according to the state-backed China Daily news agency.

The cold snap has affected provinces across China, with schools in some areas being forced to close and transport services facing difficulties.

Persistent cold weather has put energy supplies in Henan province under strain, with reports that some heating boilers have broken down.

Really, you want some scientifically correct, rigorous reasoning in your failure of a board and think the above is the way to get it? You think I give a stuff about the crap thread “Another - Global Warming causes cooling series?” Basically talking about the weather? I guess that is about all the high school dropout with no education to speak of can talk about. Talk about the weather belongs in the Tavern MRB or here as it affects critters and/or gardens, NOT in the (so called) Environment MRB. You have no idea about the environment or ecology or how to Mod a board, do you? Told you, Booby the Troll, that it would be a loooong time before I posted in your toilet of a board again.

Arctic blast: Record-breaking cold weather forecast for many states

    Published

18 hours ago


A major winter storm has unleashed icy winds and heavy snowfall across large parts of the US, disrupting travel and leaving thousands without power.

The storms will be followed by a bitter cold arctic chill into the weekend,
with temperatures dipping near -50F (-45C) in some areas.

Nearly 10in ((25.4cm) of snow in Iowa, where the 2024 election cycle kicks off on Monday, has upended campaign events.

Forecasters have called it a "life-threatening winter weather".

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued weather alerts in nearly every state, as snow is in the forecast into Saturday from as far west as Oregon to as far east as Maine. More than 70 million people are under winter weather alerts.

Extreme weather has forced the cancellation of more than 2,000 flights as of Friday, most of which were scheduled to fly out of Chicago, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware.

Nearly 200,000 people are without power as of Friday evening, with Michigan and Wisconsin most affected.

Global warming?

How will Monk explain that?

For JM's edification -

September was the last time I saw a temperature at 12°C minimum. That would have been among the last nights that I used a doona to keep warm. But, 11°C in December would likely be unheard of. Even rainy nights you don't see temperatures go below 15.

But you live almost in the tropics.

If you give it some thought, hot weather in one hemisphere can affect the extremes of cold weather in the other hemisphere.

yep - we get the tail end of the roaring 40s - when there are Southerly winds
direct from the freezing Southern ocean.
Melbourne is at 38 degrees South in latitude.
Monk lives right in at 43 degrees South in latitude - him and his poor tropical dog.  ::)


You're at 23.5 degrees  South in latitude
which is the edge of the tropic of Capricorn.
Earth's axial tilt is about 23.5 degrees.

I would understand that being at 38 degrees south latitude would mean that you would have cooler conditions for times when the wind direction is coming from the south. But, 11°C at night during December/January is something wild. I had a doona over me and the fan off the last time I had a night of 11°C. Heck, I had a winter where I did not see anything below 15°C until the latter part of June and into July.

Sun is down before 7pm every day of the year. Sun is not up before 5am in the morning. We get more direct sunlight everyday of the week in the summer than you would with your 15 hours of sunlight during the summer. But, that cool breeze from the south is enough to get you cold weather during the summer.

You might want to keep your "tropical dog" comments for people with such pets living in your suburb.

You don't get a real winter where you are -

Sure but Monk has a tropical dog -
it gets a lot colder in Tassie compared to here.
The summer in Tassie is perfect - not so hot as here.

You seem to be making my point for me. The east coast of Tasmania is about as cold in its winters as it is in Melbourne. And whilst I might get an average of about 2 weeks of cold nights per winter, I remember having a dog that shivered in the warm lounge room during a cold night's weather. Most dogs are not capable of sleeping through cold weather without some shelter. Monk would have done whatever he would to make sure Socks is warm during the winter.

Booby is just trolling, it is almost all he does.

Staghounds are an English, not a “tropical” breed and the dweeb has been told this more than once.

Whatever the case, you would be keeping Socks warm during the winter. My father has two dogs that have to have their dog jackets put on during the winter. They get to sleep on their beds out on the veranda. The beds get a tent over them to keep them warm. Dad even has blinds to pull down to ward off most of the cold breeze. And then there is a set of louvres on the other railing that Dad can wind shut.

Regardless, there are not many breeds of dog that can handle cold conditions.

Look (and, yes, I have already told the trolling arsehole this too) not far from here there is a house with two dogs living there. The dogs sleep on dog beds on the veranda at night.

I look after Socks.

Listen Monk,
I don't think this is the right MRB for you -

this MRB is for intellectual discussion of the Environment
not a place for puerile insults.
You need to lift your game - take it to a higher level.

“intellectual discussion of the environment” is a laugh!

You have never posted about the environment ever!

As to “intellectual” that excludes you. That may be harsh but is true. You have not known what to do with this board since you fell out with Dumbyne. Your only active thread is one that clearly belongs in Critters and Gardens—you are thieving a thread, thieving traffic from my board.

And yet Polar bears are still with us after warmer periods. ::)

The polar bears returned later than usual to the ice on Western Hudson Bay. The number of polar bears removed from settlements was lower than normal. That is fewer bears out of a larger population caused problems.

"This season lasted 24 weeks, the longest I can remember but apparently only the 5th longest on record. There were a total of 265 incidents by the end of November, more than 100 less than the most recent late-freeze-up year of 2016, which didn’t end until the first week of December (after bears had spent 22 weeks onshore)."


"Last December, researchers vigorously promoted a possible 27% decline in Western Hudson Bay (WH) polar bear abundance but kept hidden the fact that adjacent Southern Hudson Bay (SH) numbers increased by 30% over the same period."

That's Dec 22

Local cooling and drying induced by Himalayan glaciers under global warming Understanding the response of Himalayan glaciers to global warming is vital because of their role as a water source for the Asian subcontinent. However, great uncertainties still exist on the climate drivers of past and present glacier changes across scales. Here, we analyse continuous hourly climate station data from a glacierized elevation (Pyramid station, Mount Everest) since 1994 together with other ground observations and climate reanalysis. We show that a decrease in maximum air temperature and precipitation occurred during the last three decades at Pyramid in response to global warming. Reanalysis data suggest a broader occurrence of this effect in the glacierized areas of the Himalaya. We hypothesize that the counterintuitive cooling is caused by enhanced sensible heat exchange and the associated increase in glacier katabatic wind, which draws cool air downward from higher elevations. The stronger katabatic winds have also lowered the elevation of local wind convergence, thereby diminishing precipitation in glacial areas and negatively affecting glacier mass balance. This local cooling may have partially preserved glaciers from melting and could help protect the periglacial environment.

NFL’s policy over cold-weather games questioned after fans
treated for hypothermia and frostbite at Chiefs-Dolphins game

As the icicles formed on Andy Reid’s bushy mustache and players huddled around heaters, Kansas City’s freezing weather must have sent shivers down the spines of many onlookers.

Conditions at Arrowhead Stadium during the Kansas City Chiefs’ 26-7 win over the Miami Dolphins were tough for players and coaches to deal with, but even more so for fans:
the temperature at kickoff was -4 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -20 degrees, making it the fourth coldest game in NFL history, CNN has reported.

At the end of the January 13 game,
the temperature was -9 degrees and felt like -28 degrees, according to the Peacock broadcast.

While players could run around, use heaters on the sidelines and go to the locker-room at halftime to help deal with the cold, fans were forced to wrap up warm and embrace the elements. But it was still too much for some.

The Kansas City Fire Department (KCFD) rendered aid to 69 people – with “close to 50% … for hypothermia symptoms” – during the game, KCFD battalion chief Michael Hopkins told CNN.

Fifteen of the patients seen were transported by KCFD, “seven for hypothermia symptoms, three for frostbite symptoms, and five for various other reasons,” said Hopkins.

Just a deletion for me? No warning of a ban?

What a soft clock cowardly move.

You can't ban your way into earning respect goober. If anything, you banning people because they call you an idiot is one of the reasons why no one respects you ::)

Apparently Soft-on-Smith's 'Houso' rules work better.  ::)

...it's called 'No Moderation', just like his drinking and drug use.
