Cold Sets In Across South Africa, Snow Too
Plunging lows and heavy snow are causing disruptions to mountain roads and railways connecting mountain communities from the southern Drakensberg to the Eastern Cape.
Livestock losses in western/northern regions have also been noted.
While wet and very cold conditions have spread to South Africa’s central provinces, too.
Much of Southern Africa is enduring a blast of anomalous cold this week, with the nations of Mauritius, Zambia and Mozambique recently coming close to besting monthly low temperature records for June.
Off shore, Madagascar and Reunion Island have also copped something of a ‘freeze’. Yesterday, a low of -1.1C (30F) at Plaine de Chicot –located in the Reunion Island mountains– did set a new June low temperature record.
Impressive accumulations of snow are also proving disruptive:
California’s “Deadly Cold” Rivers
“River water temperatures are DEADLY cold. Think twice before you jump into local rivers without a life jacket. It may be the last decision you ever make,” warned the National Weather Service Thursday.
An very cold and historically snowy winter has sent the state’s rivers roaring with dangerously cold waters, conditions that have already resulted in untimely deaths of many people, including children.
The all-time record-breaking snowpack that built up over the winter is now feeding icy-cold water into the rivers, a setup ready to intensify this weekend when temperatures finally climb to something more closely resembling summer.
“Snow normally melts gradually throughout the spring,” said Sara Kennedy, the boating education and outreach coordinator for California State Parks, and by the start of summer the vast majority the pack has gone. But not this year. The first half of 2023 held very cold across California, leading to fears that this weekend’s onset of summer could lead to something of a ‘catch up’.
“Since we still have an abundance of snow that has not melted yet, we are coming up to the hottest months of the year and we are still having a massive snowmelt event causing rivers to run faster, higher and colder than it would run,” continued Kennedy.
Jason Ince, of the California Department of Water Resources, echos the warnings: “Water temperatures will quickly lead to shock and [hypothermia], the risk to the public posed by Sierra Nevada and Central Valley rivers will continue to be very high.”
Winter just gone was a truly flummoxing one for AGW Party members to get their group-thinking heads around–and these folk are accustomed to a little Doublethink, their religion demands it.
But whatever your angle or agenda, the winter of 2022-23 is most-certainly one to remember –so long as the Ministry of Truth doesn’t scrub it from the history books, that is— especially across the western United States where at least 19 resorts broke their all-time snowpack records.
Needless to say, and no matter the number of bungling climate studies professing otherwise, this is NOT what the global warming hypothesis promised, and last winter’s events render claims of ‘snow free mountains by 2030/40/50’ utterly absurd.
If you believe in CAGW, you are part of the problem, and your commitment to ignorance is damning us all; your self preservation through conformity to dogma.
Europe Warming ‘Twice As Fast’ As Global Average
According to a report recently issued by the World Meteorological Organization and the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, “Europe is warming twice as fast the global average”, although “its expanded use of renewable energy provides a silver lining” — the agenda is clearer than ever.
This also bears repeating:
“With precipitation below average across much of the region in 2022, France had its driest January to September, and the United Kingdom had its driest January to August since 1976,” stated the UN in its report for 2022.
Precipitation, they won’t thank me for pointing out, has now caught-up and then some in 2023, against official forecasts:
“The melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet contributed around 14.9 mm to global mean sea-level rise. And according to scientific assessments, it continued to lose mass during 2022,” continued the WMO report.
Uh-huh…
2022 was an above average year for Greenland snow/ice gains.
2023’s growth is truly astonishing:
The UN report continues, and highlights the implications of Europe’s extreme weather patterns for the supply, demand and infrastructure of Europe’s energy system.
“But, in a sign of hope for the future, renewable energy generated more electricity than natural gas last year. Wind and solar power generated 22.3% of European Union’s electricity in 2022, while natural gas accounted for 20%.
“For the first time, more electricity was generated by wind and solar than by fossil gas in the EU. Increasing use of renewables and low-carbon energy sources is crucial to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.”
I don’t think it’s any coincidence that anti-correlation has emerged between Europe’s renewable usage and its living standards.

Everything about it reeks of propaganda — even the choice of music:
Concerning Push For Geoengineering
I fear that ‘desperate times’ risk the roll-out of desperate measures. The European Union may agree, with some of its members calling for international talks on a potential worldwide framework on how to regulate geoengineering.
In a statement released yesterday, the European Commission argued that the risks and long-term impacts of geoengineering aren’t well understood and that necessary regulations haven’t been developed. “[The tech] could also increase power imbalances between nations, spark conflicts and raises a myriad of ethical, legal, governance and political issues,” the commission wrote.
“Nobody should be conducting experiments alone with our shared planet,” Frans Timmermans, the European Union climate policy chief, said according to Reuters. “This should be discussed in the right forum, at the highest international level.”
Many geoengineering proposals are concerning, such as solar radiation modification which seeks to block the sun’s rays.
Earlier this year, a group of researchers at Harvard and the University of Utah proposed a solution to shoot millions of tons of moon dust into Earth’s orbit to partially block out the Sun’s rays every year.
Uh-huh…
And last year, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced an idea that included engineering a huge raft of “bubbles” that would be sent into outer space. The raft would sit between the Earth and the Sun and would be big enough to deflect sunlight away from the planet to slow down global warming.
Okay…
We need the sun–more than ever if forecasts of prominent solar physicists are correct and we are indeed on the cusp of the next prolonged (and naturally cyclical) spell of reduced solar output (aka, a Grand Solar Minimum).
And just to check, it is still me that’s considered the crazy one, right?–for pointing out that Greenland is GAINING ice, that polar bear populations are INCREASING, that the Great Barrier Reef is GROWING at record levels, and that our planet has been COOLING since 2016 (if not earlier)…? It’s realists like me that require deplatforming, censoring, and demonetizing…? Got it.
The EU is, at least on the face of it, trying, and isn’t the first governmental body to advocate for a closer watch and stricter regulations on geoengineering. In January, Mexico’s government moved to ban solar geoengineering projects in the country after the startup Make Sunsets said that it released weather balloons filled with sulfur dioxide particles in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur.
The sulfur dioxide particles are reflective and were supposed to block sunlight. However, these particles contribute to acid rain and can irritate people’s lungs. A few balloons may not cause those problems, but the company conducted this experiment without any sort of approval from Mexican authorities.
People are stupid, remember that, and scared people are the stupidest; scared people with a savior complex — oh boy.
If the establishment continues its dogged pursuit in convincing the masses that global warming is ‘planet ending’ then the next generation of scientists and researchers are inevitably going to develop increasingly risky measures to try and combat it.
Human hubris continues to prove humanities biggest threat.
Not carbon, the universal building block for life.
“Much of Southern Africa is enduring a blast of anomalous cold this week, with the nations of Mauritius, Zambia and Mozambique recently coming close to besting monthly low temperature records for June. Off shore, Madagascar and Reunion Island have also copped something of a ‘freeze’. ”
Actually, Mauritius is in the “off shore” category along with Madagascar and Reunion, and in fact it’s near Reunion. Zambia and Mozambique indeed are on the mainland. But otherwise, excellent reports and keep up with the good work!
If people actually knew how corrupt these mongrels are they would be overthrown overnight. Theres something called sovereignty. They look at us as lost at sea under their maritime law until we reclaim ourselves as living. Birth certificate is traded on the NYSE and is worth millions. That money is ours. Theres something called the CQV trust that was created in 1666 in the U.K. Australia is a corporation registered on the securities and investments commission in Washington D.C. Ive witnessed the financial report for 2011 for the commonwealth govt of Australia. And we are the slaves. It all goes to the Vatican. They run this show. The triple crown they wear is maritime, administrative and legal representation. Its all symbolism. Thats why there is capital letters on grave stones and on utility bills etc. They look at us as dead until we reclaim ourselves as living. I could go on and on with this. Its extremely disturbing. They’re a foreign owned corporation and don’t represent anybody in elections but their masters. The barcodes on govt statements and utility bills link directly into the federal reserve bank so they double dip. They should be taking it from the CQV trust only, but they’re making us pay twice for every bill. Mortgage repayments, fines and any bank loan is paid out of the CQV trust. I’m trying something now with the utilities and its getting interesting, as it seems they are about to only draw once through my CQV trust. They’ve contacted me by email to confirm my personal details. This is no joke.
the entire world of power influence and cash generation is run by first son worshipers. NO one is coming to the rescue in this age, the first son rules the world with a few rules/ The first born of this creation is all about death and misery. no love no mercy
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
I admire and often share your work, Cap, so please don’t take offense, but WMO’s scaremongery “..reeks”, not “..wreaks” of propaganda.
My bad. Corrected. Thank you.
Hell I like Wreaks better!
W of the WMO and reaks combined!!!
And Metcalfe County KY America is under an Extreme Heat watch and the temp outside is…checking…a ‘hot’ 72.3°F!!!
Oh and WET/Raining/Muddy and just nasty as heck. BUT the NWS says we are in a ‘light drought’…if THIS is Drought I don’t want EXTREME DROUGHT…blub blub blub 💀!
Yeah, same here in Western North Carolina. Lies, lies, lies. Thanks Cap, for the forewarnings, gives us to be fore-armed.
Now They Are Actually Working On A Plan To Block Out The Sun – https://www.activistpost.com/2023/06/now-they-are-actually-working-on-a-plan-to-block-out-the-sun.html
Geoengineering is impossible to regulate or stop if carried out in international waters, and there’s no reason why thousands of balloons full of sulphur dioxide can’t be released from ships. The vast sums of money that various charitable trusts who support environmentalism have means it’s a very real possibility one or more of them will take it upon themselves to “save the planet”.
You missed something. Much of the US was below average in June and 75 percent of the country will see below average temps thru July 11th. So half the summer will already be below average across the US.
GFS has 75% of nation population weighted at or below normal next 10 days of the hottest month of the year.

Here was June.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fz4LG6haQAIhTOx?format=png&name=360×360
80% of the US population lives East where the sun is being blocked by record Canadian smoke from record heat or volcanic ash from the Mexi volcano from solar flares. Ten days into Summer our snowpack is already gone.
https://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/ftpref/data/water/wcs/gis/maps/wa_swepctnormal_update.pdf
Two years ago end of June there was 270% snowpack here and then it all melted in two days from record heat that killed hundreds and lit everything up.
’09 was so cold and wet here there was no corn crop, ’10, ’11 summers cold. Corn’s head high now. Last Summer was hot and dry till October dense smoke and next week’s forecast is hot, shades drawn, Walmart as seen on TV Tower AC on, praying my well won’t go dry and it’s only the first week of July. It’s gonna be another lonnnnnng hot summer watching solar flares scorch the planet. Again. Windy.com is forecasting 65F N Greenland,85F N Canada at Arctic the Ocean, 95F E of Hudson Bay!!!! Heatwave!!!!! The heatwave will have a cold front Heat’s been going up the center of mass, cold air down the coasts, textbook summer pattern. BFD, it’s summer and we’re not in solar minimum. Record hot in Canada with cold fronts. Heat from solar flares and Mercury is opposite now which prompts more flares after it goes past: Mercury in retrograde end of August should be big flares and cyclones. Evac now, don’t wait till the petrol’s gone and you’re trapped.

Screw the rotten planet!
75 percent of US was below average in June and now July also will be below average, according to the GFS thru July 11th. That’s half way thru summer and below average temps so far in the USA.
I can’t post if here but check the twitter accounts from JB.
Yes, but what’s going on with the Antarctic??
Thanks Cap for your great work!
I am living in France, not far away from Switzerland. Spring was cold and wet, temperatures were below the season average most of the time. Now summer start with mostly under average temperature and my garden is doing well with rains every week.
Three month ago the psychopath spoke person of the micron psychopathic gov, menaced the French who wanted to demonstrate against the new retirement law of a very dry summer ahead (minister and climatologist prophet). At this point we can talk of a wet asymptomatic drought. Still some area in France are lacking rain while some others are experimenting a lot of it.
In order to convince the people that the country is lacking water , the psychos claim that the water doesn’t get into the ground even if it rains…oups
Then they show on MSM maps of underground water resources that contradict scientific one which are not consulted by the general population.

Great business for my man finding water with Aquaterrex.com using satellite data and oilfield techniques to find water where others can’t.
Had a bar-b-que at his place last night with a small gathering of friends and fireworks that shot up all of at least 5 feet high………..LoL!!!
God Bless America!!!
Celebrate a Great 4th of July!!! (Hottest day of the year, gaining heat 10X faster than any other country on the planet for sure..all those fireworks you see……LoL!!!!!)
Dallas
Why is the GSM causing such high temperatures in Texas?
Low solar activity-induced ‘meridional’ (wavy) jet stream flow.
One theory, at least.
I don’t see why not. China and India spew more carbon than all of the developed world combined, yet they’re not doing anything to cut their carbon emissions meaningfully. Yet the EU and US officials think that OUR miniscule reductions in carbon emissions are somehow going to offset China’s?
If it doesn’t work in the one direction, why would it work in the other?
Interestingly enough, I seriously doubt solar panels will work without any sun!! So how to fix this problem Billy Boy Gates? Spray your shit into the sky and block out the sun, so nothing grows or works any longer. Please go away really fast, back to whatever planet you originally came from!! Oh and by the way……it’s been pretty cool here in Portugal, beautiful sunny weather with a lovely cool breeze!! Very different from last year!!
Lovely and cool here in Central Portugal. I’m enjoying summer–for a change.
