Nice warm day?

New Delhi recorded its highest temperature ever measured on Wednesday — 126 degrees Fahrenheit, or 52.3 degrees Celsius —

Ouch!

Quote:

In New Delhi, where walking out of the house felt like walking into an oven, officials feared that the electricity grid was being overwhelmed and that the city’s water supply might need rationing.

The past 12 months have been the planet’s hottest ever recorded, and cities like Miami are experiencing extreme heat even before the arrival of summer. Scientists said this week that the average person on Earth had experienced 26 more days of abnormally high temperatures in the past year than would have been the case without human-induced climate change.

India is not alone. Note that there is no El Nino boosting temperatures. This is AGW.

But, it is coming soon, according to the Indian Bureau of Meteorology. I would say that 52°C is a one off for New Dehli.

Imagine 52.5°C +plius hmidity! It was not humid. It was really dry weather. That was what accounted for the heating of the region moreso than usual. Humid weather is coming up for New Dehli and it is forecasted for a big downpour of rain.

The Thwaites glacier is well south and east of India or Pakistan to be not affected by heatwaves. In fact, my intermediate understanding of Antarctic glaciers would tell me that the glacier is currently in a state of expansion, and probably would have accelerated expansion because of the heatwave in India. Hot weather there in India would mean colder weather in Antarctica.

My personal take on this heatwave will be that when this rain (with that that cloud band coming in from WA) moves off, we shall see some dry, cold weather event, by this time next week. It is already forecast that tomorrow and Tuesday will be single digit minimums in my region of the country. Probably even colder the following week.

When I was 11 years old, I was with my family on the beach at a work picnic. The weather there must have been in the high 30s. It was modest humidity. But, it was an unbearable weather that was only mitigated by a sea breeze. We got back to town and found that the place had just had its hottest day on record. But it was bone dry. This weather event was preceded by dry weather leading up to the hot day.

I did not mean the Indian etc heat wave would affect the Antarctic.

I meant purely the acceleration of AGW would see Thwaites or the eastern part of it initially slide into the sea earlier than estimated. The eastern part of the ice shelf holding back the Thwaites is fracturing etc a lot.

The Southern Ocean is the fastest warming ocean basin.

The Southern Ocean may well be warming more than other areas. But, I bet that right now, the Southern Ocean is currently freezing very close to the coast. If places like California get heat waves, it usually means that my town is in for a cold weather event. There was an explanation for this somewhere online, but I have not been able to find it for a while.

We are seeing an above-average temperature forecasted for this winter. But that is because there is above-average rainfall predicted for much of Australia over the next few months. That does not mean that we are experiencing global warming. It does mean that there is a chance of La Nina developing.
