Rare Snow And Century-Old Cold Records Fall In California; Cold Antarctica; + Fierce Polar Air Mass Grips South America

In Reno, a high of just 57F (13.9C) was observed, which made for the coldest August day in record books dating back to 1893.

  1. Cap, this is my second request. Would you please send me the source for your Aug 23 post of the Atlantic Nino/Nina water temperatures? Thanks.

  2. Yes it was quite cool here in East TN last week when it dropped to 51 here on the 21st, with several more 50’s occurrences thru Sunday morning, the 25th. Of course it is a little early yet – we’ll still have fluctuations between summer and early fall thru September in these areas. Tropics showing nothing for the next two weeks for any tropical cyclone development, according to the models. That would be out to the 11th, unless something spins up out of the ordinary. It appears that the cooler water in the tropical Atlantic is having an impact on Sahel rainfall patterns as well as affecting the energy potential for storm development. Bottom line for coastal sections: Go drink a beer at the pier without fear and enjoy your day!

  3. I’m flying to Puerto Madryn Argentina tomorrow to do research for NUMA so I need to pack cold weather gear for a fierce Polar air mass with dangerous subfreezing temps so I don’t die of frostbite and hypothermia? Full snow suit, goggles, mittens, snow boots. Sounds like a major crises I should check the forecast. Hmmm, warmer than average temps forecast, 76F on Sunday, 19 degrees above average.

    1. Hmmm, only a few more days until September, which is spring in Argentina. So I think 70 F for the last week of August May not be too abnormal.

      “ in Argentina, September is a spring month. In the north, crossed by the Tropic of Capricorn, the climate is already quite hot during the day, and the average daily temperature is around 21 °C (70 °F). Also, sometimes in the north there can be heat waves, during which the temperature can reach 40 °C (104 °F).
      In the center-north, in Buenos Aires and Rosario, the daily average is around 15 °C (59 °F).
      In Patagonia the temperatures are quite mild, in fact the daily average is around 11 °C (52 °F) in Puerto Madryn, Trelew and Comodoro Rivadavia, while in the far south, in Tierra del Fuego, it is still cold, in fact the daily average drops to around 5 °C (41 °F).”

  4. Interesting barometric pattern now during a normal sized solar maximum the jet stream being pushed North from heat from solar flares. All the low pressure areas pushed up and high pressure band below them. Two big low pressure areas North of Norway from the Iceland volcano sending the plume into the Atctic above Russia:

  5. ARTICLE: The Atlantic Is Cooling at a Mysteriously Fast Rate After Record Warmth
    https://electroverse.info/rare-snow-and-century-old-cold-records-fall-in-california-cold-antarctica-fierce-polar-air-mass-grips-south-america/

    “For over a year, surface temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean hit new highs, but that trend has reversed at record speed over the past few months, and nobody knows why.”

    snip……….Then follows the normal global warming chatter, followed by–

    “NOAA data shows Atlantic sea surface temperatures have cooled at a surprising rate since May. Since June began, temperatures have been a degree or two Fahrenheit colder than normal for this time of year. That means El Niño will likely be replaced by its counterpart, La Niña, a weather system that allows cold water to rise to the surface of the Atlantic, some time between September and November…Still, the sudden shift in Atlantic temperatures has been puzzling, and nobody seems to know why it’s happened so quickly.
    “We’ve gone through the list of possible mechanisms, and nothing checks the box so far,” Frans Philip Tuchen, a postdoctoral student at the University of Miami, told New Scientist.”

      1. Rain accumulation mid Atlantic. North of the equator is almost an inch a day. A solid band from Africa across to the other side. The Sun is not hitting the ocean much there warming the sea surface temp. Onshore Africain that zone the rain accu 1.7 inches a day ave next ten days. Not too sunny there it was 120F earlier this Summer.

        Gotta look at the pm2.5 map of the mid Atlantic, it was blank before the solar cycle started and flares made volcanos erupt. Residual volcanic particulates PLUS Tonga moisture feeding the rain band N of the equator.
        Right now the cool air of the South Atlantic going North up into the heat of N Africa a big low pressure there. Cross equatorial pattern, active volcanos S Hemisphere feeding the convergence zone blocking the Sun mid Atlantic.

      1. My viewing all these details of how the weather system works is understanding how God’s system works. God makes it all happen. I can see the details on this pute that I can’t see without it and learn more every day and night.

        1. I agree. God periodically reveals new factors in all disciplines that stand everything previously known on its head. Yet people persist in believing they know everything.

          Humility is a prerequisite to learning anything new.
