China’s Colder-Than-Average May; Extreme Chills Grip Northern Europe; Shimla’s Record-Cold Start To June; + May Down Under: Forecast vs Reality
China’s Colder-Than-Average May
Despite determined establishment propaganda proclaiming China’s May heat to be all-conquering –you know, a ferocious sign of the global warming times– the nation, overall, just experienced an anomalously cool month.
It was hot in the south, there’s no doubting that; but the expansive, record-slaying cold in the West proved to be the dominating force. May 2023 in China finished with an average temperature of 16.3C (61.3F), which is 0.2C below the multidecadal average.
Those promoting the south’s heat so as to forward an agenda require an immediate re-balancing in their reporting.
China’s cool May continues on from April’s chilling trend:
Extreme Chills Grip Northern Europe
For a number of days now, historically low temperatures have been sweeping Northern Europe.
Saturday delivered all-time June cold to Latvia.
The mercury sank to -2C (28.4F) at Stende, Talsi district which, according to the Latvian Center for Environment, Geology and Meteorology (LVĢMC), matches Latvia’s coldest June low on record, set at Rucava in 1941.
Regional benchmarks have also been set across the country, including at Saldus which broke its previous June low set in 1975.
Exceptional chills have also impacted Estonia.
Thermometers in Kuusiku, a small borough in Rapla Parish, dropped to -3.3C (26.1F), breaking the June low set in 1941 by 0.6C.
Again, regional records also prevailed, including the -3.4C (25.9F) at Rautavaara and the -0.5C (31.1F) at Viitasaari.
And in Finland, the national June record has fallen here, too.
The -7.7C (18.1F) posted at the Saana Hill comfortably bests Finland’s previous coldest-ever June low — the -7C (19.4F) from 1962. Summer snow has also accompanied Finland’s historic chills, as have strong northerly winds which drove the feels-like down to -18.3C (-0.9F).
Shifting to Russia (European-Russia), the weather here too “is in no hurry to establish a summer regime,” reports hmn.ru.
Summer frosts have swept many areas, particularly central and northwestern parts, with the Murmansk, Leningrad, Pskov, Novgorod regions –for example– suffering overnight lows of between -1C to -4C (30.2F to 24.8F).
The temperature also sank below the freezing mark across the Tver region.
The threat of frost extends into the new week, where lows of -1C, -2C and -3C (30.2F, 28.4F and 26.6F) are forecast in Vologda, Leningrad and in Pskov and Novgorod, respectively. Freezing June lows are even expect in Moscow: here, -1C is predicted.
Cool Austria
June’s chill carries on from what was a cooler-than-average May for many European nations, including Austria where summer snow is also proving noteworthy.
May 2023 finished some 0.3C cooler than the multidecadal average across Austria, and 23% wetter.
Also worth noting, this is now the third spring in a row to deliver exceptional cold to the European continent
Shimla’s Record-Cold Start To June
As reported by thenewshimachal.com, “Shimla is currently experiencing an unprecedented and record-breaking cold spell.”
Northern India’s Shimla –the capital and the largest city of the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh– has just “shattered a two-decade record with the minimum temperature plummeting below 10C in June 2023,” continues thenewshimachal.com.
Not since 1999 has the metropolis of Shimla witnessed such low June temperatures.
A myriad of Himachal Pradesh locales recorded new low readings over the weekend–the cold wasn’t just confined to Shimla–in a drastic drop in temperature that India’s Meteorological Department attributes to “the recent rain and snowfall caused by a western disturbance”.
India’s summer snow has been its own story, with rare falls noted not only Hamachal Pradesh but also in Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Punjab (and also into neighboring Pakistan, too).
May Down Under: Forecast vs Reality
At the beginning of the season, Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) foretoeld of a hotter-than-average autumn to come — they basically called it a sure fire thing; a dead cert; bet your house on it.
Note their level of confidence: 80+% across vast expanses of the continent:
Mother Nature, however, had other ideas and left The Narrative-driving government agency, once again, with egg on its face:
Following March and April’s anomalous chills, an exceptionally cool May has gone and hammered the final nail in the BoM’s warm-mongering coffin. The month finished historically cold, even according to the Bureau’s own cooked books…
And so, despite catastrophic global warming, a switch to warmer electronic probe thermometers, and tortuous computer modeling, Australian’s endured a month of May -1.6C below the multidecadal average — an astonishing departure.
Overall, autumn was exceptionally cold and dry — the coldest May since 1944 and the second driest ever.

I’ll finish today with the always reliable Dr. Patrick Moore:
Hope you are feeling better Cap. And are getting some warm and wet weather in moderation in your part of the world, warmed up a tad minimum temp wise due to cloud cover. And light rain in the south east Queensland area, will go back down when the south westerly winds come in again
There are still climate change propaganda videos being embedded within articles and the home page. This page has one entitled: “Scientists Alarmed as Ocean Temperatures anomalously rise off the charts” from Humix Social Talks.
Maybe you can use ‘Brave’ as your browser. Best to block these spam artikels.
That’s who I use as a browser – Brave
I don’t get blasted with nonsense.
With a new computer last week I tried opening
Electroverse with Bing – it was not pleasant!

I posted to let Cap know that his site is being hijacked to promulgate “climate change” propaganda. It’s not a good look for new visitors.

Scientists Alarmed as Ocean Temperatures anomalously rise off the charts
The first week of winter here in Australia and BOM are already saying that the ski season will be a disaster due to lack of snow. How rediculous to make such a statement this early in the season.
At this point, you’re gonna have to report only those few instances that make it past the mainstream media’s filter.
In my part of California and indeed most of the state, we have been 20 degrees F Below the average temps for well over a month Consistently, with only a few days near normal.It’s getting Painfully Obvious the GSM is beginning in earnest – and not a PEEP from the Lying Media. Forecast is continued WAY below normal temps for the next 10 days at least.
It is still cool in SW Florida.
This morning my temps were:
Sky – 25 F
Ground – 59 F
Air – 62 F
Reminder the “norm” is to be above 72 F
for the night low starting 15 May.
So this is cool. Still hasn’t rained on this side but on the east
coast Fl it was showering daily as it does during Hurricane season.
It was cool with a good breeze but I failed to get any temps
over the weekend as I was very busy with other items.
The Parking was interesting as the small cheap off beach hotel I stayed
at had no parking. So I had to park on the street in Hollywood Fl.
They have a QR Code you scan which brings up an app so you can pay
the $21/day fee to park. The nominated spaces are well marked.
The tenant next to me said I should park at Jimmy Buffet’s Margariteville
next door as it would be safer at only $34/day! I took my chances LoL
with no problems except wondering where the car was the next morning.
I only had a 100 foot walk to the beach boardwalk. Free concerts on Saturday
& Friday nights were a blast with several hundred people showing up!!!
Enjoy!!!
Meanwhile, here in southern UK most frigid feeling June day I can ever remember.
