Europe Forecast Continent-Spanning Freeze Starting This Weekend; ∼60,000 Global Weather Stations Have Us At Just 0.15F (0.08C) Above Average; + WMO Climate Disaster Obfuscation
Europe Forecast Continent-Spanning Freeze Starting This Weekend
The media has been milking Europe’s summertime heat for all it’s worth. And indeed, for stretches, a weak and wavy ‘meridional‘ jet stream flow did indeed drag African plumes anomalously-far north.
Even this week, Western Europe has been dealing with unseasonal warmth (shown below) — a setup the legacy media has been keen to draw the public’s attention to while at the same completely ignoring the expansive mass of ‘blues’ engulfing the East:
But soon it will be winter’s turn to dominate, and those reverse ‘wave-4s‘ are already preparing to play their hand:
Indications point to the first proper injection of polar air gripping the European continent starting this weekend:
And things only intensify from there.
By the middle/end of next week, a 180-flip looks in order for the likes of France, with temperatures crashing from anomalous highs to record-challenging lows (with very heavy snows) in a matter of days:
Latest GFS runs are calling for temperatures as much as 12C below the seasonal norms cutting through the heart of Europe, from Portugal through Spain, France, Germany, continuing eastward all the way to
Early-season snow is even on the cards for the UK:
Those plunging temperatures, in particular, are a development worth keeping an eye on. Europe’s energy infrastructure WILL NOT cope with a harsh winter — the energy CEOs told us as much — but this is exactly what early indications are warning of:
As I wrote last November, it is next winter, the winter of 2023-24, that people shroud be worried about.
“We’ve got a difficult winter ahead,” said Russell Hardy, CEO of major oil trader Vitol back in Nov 2022, “and subsequent to that we’ve got a more difficult winter in the year ahead, because the production that is available to Europe in the first half of 2023 is considerably less than the production we had available to us in the first half of 2022.”
BP CEO, Bernard Looney, agreed, saying energy prices “are approaching unaffordability,” with some people already “spending 50% of their disposable income on energy or higher”. Provided it’s not a brutally cold Dec-Feb, Looney thinks “it has been addressed for this winter. It’s the next winter I think many of us worry, in Europe, could be even more challenging.”
CEO of Italian oil and gas giant Eni expressed similar concerns, adding that next winter is the headache “because we are not going to have Russian gas — 98% [less] next year, maybe nothing.”
The UN and its grubby little offshoots, namely the IPCC, are still blindly decrying the use of fossil fuels, warning, as they do, that a far bigger crisis looms if access to cheap and reliable oil, coal and gas isn’t immediately curtailed.
Last year, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for abandoning fossil fuel finance, and labelled any new funding for exploration “delusional”. What is delusional, Guterres, is trying to heat hundreds of millions of homes in the dead of winter with wind and solar. And what should be regarded as criminal is forcibly switching everyday folk over to these failing technologies via decades of agenda-driven under-investment and an outright “bringing to an end” of the Nord Stream.
The ∼60,000 Global Weather Stations Have Us At Just 0.15F (0.08C) Above Average
According to the combined data from ∼60,000 official global weather stations with long standing records, Earth’s temperature is currently sitting at just 0.15F (0.08C) above the multidecadal average.
The data is compiled by Temperature.Global, a website “created by meteorologists and climatologists with over 25 years of professional experience in surface weather observations”.
The site calculates the current temperature of Earth using unadjusted surface temperatures using data sources such as NOAA’s Global METARs, NOAA’s One-Minute Observations (OMOs), NBDC’s Global Buoy Reports, and the MADIS Mesonet Data.
New observations are entered each minute and the site is updated accordingly.
Here is the latest global temperature reading (as of 08:46 UTC on October 11, 2023):
Next are the recorded global temperature averages for the past 8 years:
- 2015: 0.98F (0.54C) below normal
- 2016: 0.48F (0.27C) below normal
- 2017: 0.47F (0.26C) below normal
- 2018: 1.33F (0.74C) below normal
- 2019: 0.65F (0.36C) below normal
- 2020: 0.00F (0.00C) below normal
- 2021: 0.20F (0.11C) below normal
- 2022: 0.47F (0.26C) below normal
And here are those averages in graph form, with 2023-to-date included.
Note the overall drop in global temperatures (Jan 2015 to Sept 2023 vs 30 year mean) of -0.278C:
Focusing on official USCRN weather station data for the United States, no warming is detected here either.
The U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) consists of 114 weather and climate monitoring stations distributed widely across the Lower 48, plus Alaska and Hawaii. The system was established and implemented back in the year 2004 by NOAA, and it is considered the world’s gold-standard for the collection, measurement, processing and reporting of weather and climate information.
Here’s what the USCRN has detected in recent years (Jun 2011 to Sept 2023):
These official weather station data give rise to honest questions:
Can we trust the data? And if so, which data?
WMO Climate Disaster Obfuscation
Government and inter-government agencies alike trade in obfuscation. It’s how they get away with it. They don’t lie, exactly; they bend statistics, skew models and obfuscate their group-thinking little brains out.
According to a recent World Meteorological Organization posting on X, which cites NOAA data: “This year, [the] USA has had 24 weather and climate disasters with losses of more than $1 billion — a new record”.
And they provide this helpful graphic:
These agencies have utterly beclowned themselves with the ‘global boiling’ meme and their credibility couldn’t be lower; still, the MSM dutifully promotes their tired spewings and, in turn, I’m sure a not insignificant proportion of the public still buy them.
To counter the WMO’s aforementioned nonsense, we have Dr. Matthew Wielicki, who replied: “Why do you use total cost and not normalize it to GDP?”
Is this why…
Thank you to all those who purchased my book. If you could leave a positive review on Amazon that would be a great help (keep any bad reviews to yourself ;p — as the world’s governing bodies routinely demonstrate, nobody is interested in hearing the truth).
Thanks. I really enjoy your posts. I would like to give you a once off contribution once a year. What platform can I use.

Old message but i still think it has some good points.
War 🔱
Wars are always about land grabs and resources. The new class warfare that is in progress world wide is going to cultivate both for the super predator elites.
Human Slavery went out of fashion just after the industrial revolution began. Machine slaves replaced human slaves. With the introduction of AI and robotics the average man is to use the governments own term “non-essential”
and the destroyers of worlds.
They are finding ways to exterminate us all.
Our super predator elite overlords think they have the power and the moral authority to preserve the earths resources for themselves.
The thousands of people killed in the NY nursing homes massacre is only the beginning. Will they get prosecuted? No, if given the opportunity they will kill us all. Class warfare is in progress. Do you think the government doesn’t know about the epic cold conditions that are coming? The US government just bought ice breakers. How could they not know, but they are saying global warming. How much food stores do you think the elites have stored away? Best bet plenty. The government elites have a 30 year supply and an underground bunker in Greenbrier WV. So they throw you a curveball called man made global warming and you have nothing. Die of starvation, Die of freezing to death it’s all OK as longe as we die.
You can see for yourself that our leaders are doing everything in their power to creat division and anger one peasant against another. Our world is a coliseum and if our psychopathic leaders have their way we will become 21 century gladiators.
If there is such a thing as global warming. Don’t you think the finger of blame should be pointed at governments, the fabulously wealthy & industry. Those are the super predator elites.
They Stand to gain in the population reduction schemes, we can expect to be killed off.
Maybe this war should be conquer or be conquered. We need an average man organization and a leader.
I forgot who said it but it was a general.
“The problem with modern warfare is it gives you no chance to kill the people that need it”
Just looking for the big EU freeze to see how bad it’s going to get, how afraid folks should be. Be very afraid, big freeze on the way. Prepare now before the shelves are empty you’ll starve and freeze to death from Eddy Minimum. OMG, epic crisis!

My growing fear is that the UN’s WMO is taking its identical marching orders as is the WHO and it has been suggested that China has infiltrated much of the UN’s organization committees. How in hell does anyone hope to combat that possibility? Ist link below is to an interview of Prof. Angus Dalgleish by Dr. John Campbell. The following links add to the Prof.’s credibility. This could possibly be Medicine’s holy grail. Offered for possible discussion. Billy Best on the wet coast of Canada.

The Daily Mail comments by the Prof. were 2 years ago, he has now done a u turn, stay away from any VACCINE.
I think it’s a mistake to pay too much attention to a single run of weather models. All the snow that was forecast for Germany, and most of the snow forecast for the Alps isn’t now forecast in the latest GFS run from tropical tidbits. GFS has been predicting a polar plunge for Europe for at least a week, so it seems almost certain to happen, but each model run has the lowest temperature anomalies and snow in different regions. This is to be expected when forecasts go beyond the 5-7 day time period. They can often get the general/overall idea correct, in this case a plunge of Arctic air, but struggle with the details. The latest run has the plunge happening further east, as a quite a few of the previous runs have also shown. It now looks like Eastern Europe will see temperatures 8-12C below average but Western Europe will escape with a slightly cooler than average spell, but nothing noteworthy or record challenging.
I’m not sure if Temperature.Global can be trusted. It seems strange that their anomalies are a lot lower than UAH satellite figures when they both use 1991-2020 as the base line against which anomalies are calculated. Obviously the 2 data sets aren’t measuring the same thing, but changes in lower troposphere temperatures are normally reflected in changes in surfaces temperatures, sometimes with a 1 month lag. It seems odd that the large spike in UAH anomalies isn’t (yet) reflected in Temperature.Global anomalies and the Jan2015-Sep2023 anomalies are so different. Can anyone explain this discrepancy when the UAH data set is regarded as the gold standard, e.g. by prof Ole Hulme (definitely not an AGW alarmist)?
