Adelaide’s Coldest September Temperature In 100+ Years
Australia shivered through one of its coldest September mornings ever on Tuesday, with record lows posted across Queensland and South Australia.
Adelaide has faced its coldest September morning in more than a century, with temperatures dipping as low as -0.2C (31.6F) in the northern suburbs and 1.3C (34.3F) in the city itself. Noarlunga, in the southern suburbs, posted a rare low of 3.5C (38.3F).
BOM senior forecaster Simon Timcke noted that it was the lowest September minimum temperature ever recorded at the West Terrace site, where the books date back over a century.
Queensland towns have also seen their coldest September mornings in years. Kingaroy, for example, hit 0.7C (33.3F), while Roma recorded a brisk 1.4C (34.5F)—about eight degrees below the average spring temp. Oakey registered even colder, at -2.5C (27.5F). The frosty conditions stretched along much of the Murray River.
Other South Australian locales also experienced the unseasonable September chill. Cleve, on the Eyre Peninsula, shivered through -0.4C (31.3F), the coldest temperature in its 67 years of record-keeping and, notably, the first freezing temp ever recorded there.
Loxton, in the Riverland district, saw -1.9C (28.6F), its coldest spring night in 29 years. Edithburg, on the Yorke Peninsula, logged 0.1C (32.2F), its lowest spring temperature ever recorded—an exceptionally low reading for a coastal location.
While in Victoria, the likes of Hopetoun Airport saw -2.9C (26.8F), its coldest springtime temperature in 13 years.
Wine grape growers in some of Australia’s most iconic regions, including the Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, and Riverland, have reported significant crop losses due to the unseasonable frosts. Temperatures have dipped as low as -4C (24.8F) in the Barossa and 1.5C (34.7F) in the Riverland, devastating crops despite frost mitigation efforts.
The damage has described as extensive, with many crops beyond recovery.
Frosts in these parts are expected to continue and all, putting more crops like almonds, stone fruits, and wine grapes at risk.
New Zealand Buried
New Zealand is also experiencing a significant Antarctic chill, with heavy snowfall to boot. One resort was even temporarily cut off due to the extreme conditions.
The Mountain Safety Council of New Zealand says the risk of avalanches in the Aoraki/Mt Cook region on the South Island is “high”. The Council is also warning of avalanches at lower elevations and all, as this spring snow event proves widespread.
At the start of the weekend, hundreds of skiers and snowboarders were stranded atop The Remarkables resort as access roads were closed due to the avalanche danger. The road has since reopened, allowing people to leave.
The resort has reported an extra 50 cm (1.64 feet) of fresh snow in recent days, prolonging winter across the region.
Looking ahead, the next 72-hours promises more of the same:
Historic Snow In The Alps
The European Alps continue to see extraordinary early-season snow, with totals breaking records left, right and center.
While high-altitude snow isn’t particularly rare in September, the sheer volume here is truly historic. Fueled by algid Arctic air mixing with mild Mediterranean moisture, slow-moving systems have dumped more than 2 meters of snow on some parts.
Austria appears to be bearing the brunt, with conditions now resembling mid-winter rather than mid-September.
Snow has even reached altitudes as low as 600 meters (1,970 feet)—again unprecedented for the time of year.
“This degree of storm is not something we have seen this early for many years,” said Fraser Wilkin of weathertoski.co.uk.
Ski resorts, such as Obertauern, posted some of the highest snowfall totals, while others, like Hochkonig, opened their lifts early to take full advantage of the conditions — their earliest opening on record, in fact.
It marks a truly historic start to the snow season, particularly for glacier areas like Hintertux and Zermatt, which are also already open for skiing.
Despite the challenges, such as deadly avalanches and transport disruptions, this is positive news for the ski season ahead. And again, real world observations are exposing legacy media caterwaulings as mere agenda-driving drivel…
Britain’s High Court Blocks Coal Mine Permit
Britain is unraveling under the pressure of its aggressive Net Zero targets, with the latest High Court decision to block the country’s first new coal mine in three decades adding to the growing sense of national instability. I’m in the UK right now, I sense it.
The ruling, which declared the approval of the Whitehaven coal mine unlawful due to unconsidered emissions from burning coal, follows the new government’s withdrawal of support for the project in July. The decision reflects Labour’s hellbent diabolizing of carbon, but it comes at a significant cost to the nation’s energy security and economic stability.
The UK was already in the grip of a profound crisis, not one exerted by the weather but rather the stooges in charge, an emergency exacerbated by policies designed to meet climate goals that unquestionably hampering the country’s prosperity.
As political scientist Malek Dudakov points out, Britain faces “the path to poverty,” with a looming budget crisis and sharp tax hikes expected to negativity impact everybody, rich or poor. The increasing exodus of foreign oligarchs and British millionaires is just one symptom of the broader economic decline. While on the flip side, millions of pensioners are set to lose heating subsidies this winter, meaning most vulnerable will suffer as energy costs continue to soar.
At the same time, the country’s healthcare system is overwhelmed, with 7.5 million people, including 800,000 children, waiting for treatment, while an acute shortage of doctors goes unaddressed. On top of that, 750,000 legal immigrants are being allowed entry to the country each year, who are then fed and housed. And that’s not to mention the new governments irrational push for a full-scale war with Russia. Starmer is keen as a bean to allow NATO missiles to strike deep inside of Russia — that’s WWIII.
Plans for new nuclear power plants, which could have stabilized the energy grid, have been scrapped in favor of increased spending on wind turbines — a shift that will only prolong the energy crisis, further undermining the economy and pushing Britain deeper into decline.
The revoking of the Whitehaven mine approval symbolizes a broader national struggle: as the government pushes its Net Zero agenda, the country edges closer to economic collapse, with growing unrest, skyrocketing energy prices, and a healthcare system at breaking point. The decision to block the mine might satisfy climate activists, but for many, it represents yet another blow to logic, common sense, and an already faltering nation.
This is the welcome Starmer receives whenever he steps out in public:
Politics maintains the status quo. What we need is a revolution. A Trump victory in the U.S. will prove no different (IMO).
Kp 7.67
Arriving about 6 hours later than expected, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth’s magnetic field on Monday, September 16 at 23:41 UT.
The impact sparked a G4-class (Severe) geomagnetic storm with auroras sighted as far south as the Texas Panhandle, with the 3-hour K-Index panel on electroverse.space peaking at 7.67:
The auroras were bright enough to compete with the Harvest Moon:
Storm levels are now fluctuating between G1 and G3 as Earth moves through the CME’s wake.

(And that’s not to mention the new governments irrational push for a full-scale war with Russia.)
You could take everything at face value or you could see the possibility that the mini ice age is well understood by the elites and the winners and losers have already been chosen. Every where you look the path to destruction is being messaged and cultivated. I can see the US government abandoning North America and leaving behind impoverished fighting factions.
Do you have an updated GSM chart, or is going into GSM just more fake news?
https://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/uploads/UAH_LT_1979_thru_August_2024_v6_20x9-scaled.jpg
You seem to be saying that the whole GSM thing has been a fraud, or at least a case of mistaken identity.
That means Robert Felix was wrong, intentionally or not, so I spent 15 years of my life reading his blogs, learning the terminology, trying to understand the science for what? For nothing, apparently.
And now you expect everyone to buy into your current theory. And do what, spend another 15 years listening to your stuff, only to learn that you were also wrong?
And then you have the nerve to diss me because I’m getting fed up with climate theories? Please…
The GSM chart is, the governments around the world have made no mention of the GSM since 1982 when they went all in on global warming. The children at play that run most western world governments elected to react to a threat never before realized in the life supporting spans of time of the earths existence. Severe Ice ages are routine but they elected to ignore that possibility and prepare for something that has never happened before and apparently is not happening now, Run away global warming. That may be a lethal mistake as it has been pointed out by many on this channel that the fragile wind and solar renewable solutions won’t stand up to decline in temperatures and all the icy conditions that that will manifest. In this horse race the worlds governments have gone all in on the long shot.
Childishness or treachery take your pick.

I am okay with that. They are as useful as Chicken Feet in well anything. Now do this…buy ARMS, AMMO, dried goods, long term meds, herbs (don’t laff), herbs for Medical needs (look it up), goods for barter -!whiskey, tools, supplies and anything needed in an emergency. Now think about what people enjoy in Life…Kids – candy. Women – uh certain ‘monthly’ supply’s, men …well heck anything and do not talk about what ya got on hand. Now cultivate friends among your closet neighbors and learn to garden, kill an animal & prepare and you will soon learn you can tell the City Folk to go to …you know right Deb???😁😘🥰❤️
If the grid goes down, I’d say you should pack up all that stuff and head for the nearest national forest. But you better have someone along who knows how to survive in that environment.
The suburbs will be toast, and the farms and small towns will be next. Not only will people be craving food, but a lot of them will be craving drugs, and they won’t be asking nicely.
Or just shoot yourself and beat the Christmas rush.
Russia seized the Crimean peninsula some years ago. Some believe necessary access to warmer weather ports was a significant reason.
The latest journalism article from the Asheville Watch Dog has this,. when you talk about continuing the joax of warming:
While western North Carolina’s mountains tend to break up severe storm systems, we’re still vulnerable to slow-moving remnants. And our vulnerability is growing, said David Easterling, director of the National Climate Assessment Technical Support Unit, part of NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville.
Global temperatures have gone up about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since 1901.
“As it warms up, we’re seeing more moisture in the air,” Easterling said. “We already see that in the observations. There’s more moisture in the air than 60 years ago, and that’s just going to continue.”
The surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico, where most tropical storms or their remnants arrive from, ”have gone up considerably,” Easterling said.
Thankfully, there are REAL watchdogs like Cap who really understand this hoax and warn us of impending ice age with COOLING temperatures globally.
wx charts, uk about to get soaked, tue 24th for a few days,oo, highs n lows look very odd over europe,
There were 2 solar events on 14sep2024 – The much publicised X 4.5 flare peaking at 15:29 UTC, and an earlier eruption in the south nearer to the western limb that departed the sun approx 6am. Becasue the 6am eruption did not trigger a flare, it was not noted. The 2 eruptions were 9 hours apart, and checking on https://isdc.gfz-potsdam.de/index.php?id=152 will show the CMEs also arrived 9 hours apart .
Wildfires rage out of control in Portugal where fire danger has been extreme from heat coming up from Africa all Summer from solar flares.

Poor Dirk! Now everyone thinks you’re a bad boy!
I got some good screenshots of that fire. Thanks, El Terrible!
Yes you can think of rude stupid comments about any subject because that is all you do. Rude old hag stuck in BF MO,
If you keep that up, you may convince me that you mean it.
