Very warm Arctic in early April
Quote:As an April snowstorm strikes the U.S. Northeast, major global weather stories related to climate change are unfolding in real time. For today, we again find that none of the key climate zones feature below average temperatures even as a ten-day-long Arctic warm spell appears to be on tap.
Of course, St Dubyne the Dubious will only mention the below average temps and his sheeple will lap it up and NEVER consider checking for themselves or doing a wider reading. Just look at Booby here “318 pages of evidence.”
Again, warm air entering the Arctic drives cold Arctic air southwards. On a global scale—no change—but locally, temperatures drop south of the Arctic, warm in the Arctic. The more rapidly warming Arctic compared to the warming middle latitudes is going to drive weather for years yet and eventually new weather systems will form as the Arctic becomes relatively ice free in summer.
Quote: Quote:Throughout winter, the Bering and Chukchi have received wave after wave of much warmer than normal air from the ocean zone to the south. This tendency for warm air propagating northward through the Pacific is one that is often triggered by La Nina — a periodic pattern of Pacific Equatorial surface water cooling that became a dominant feature of 2018 winter weather. However,
globally
warmer than normal ocean waters and, in particular,
much warmer than normal sea surface temperatures in the Northeastern Pacific appear to have greatly enhanced the heat influx.
There is little doubt possible that the globe is warming up. The next El Nino, which could occur this year, could see very unpleasant conditions indeed.
Quote:These warm waters at the middle to northern latitudes have developed a pathway that enhances the northward flow of tropical air masses over the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile La Nina’s Equatorial cooling combines with climate change’s amplified polar warming to slow down the Jet Stream — further enabling this south-to-north heat transfer. As we have seen time and time again, human-forced global warming generated chiefly by fossil fuel burning is developing an atmospheric and oceanic handshake with past understood synoptic trends to produce an out-sized Arctic warming.
Clearly, the idea of an ice age now is ridiculous.
