Record July Cold Hits Scotland

Barring for the odd day, July has been notably chilly across the UK, record cold in parts of Scotland.

Last night, temperatures dropped to a remarkable 1.7C (35.1F) in both Tyndrum and Tulloch Bridge — new lows or July. While Bishopton, Renfrewshire also recorded a new summer low of 5.1C (41.2F), breaking the old record of 5.3C (41.5F) set in 2001.

Though a handful of pleasant days have prevailed, temperatures across the UK this July have been lackluster, with Scotland barely reaching the mid-20s (mid-70s Fahrenheit), with Floors Castle in the Borders doing best with 25.2C (77.4F) on July 19.

July temperatures typically reach around 30C (86F), while every July since 2010 has surpassed this year’s high. July 2007 was the coolest in modern times, with a high of 23C (73.4F) — you have to go back to 1960 to find a cooler July.

This July’s maximum of 25.2C (77.4F) ranks 69th out of the last 84 years.

“Astonishingly low temperatures for this late in July!” writes STV forecaster Sean Batty on X.


NASA’s Claim of Earth’s Hottest Day

NASA reported that July 22, 2024, was Earth’s hottest day on record, with temperatures nudging above 17C (62F), surpassing the previous record set in July 2023. NASA attributes these temperatures to human prosperity, i.e. CO2 emissions.

“In a year that has been the hottest on record to date, these past two weeks have been particularly brutal,” states NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.


NASA claims July 22 was Earth “hottest day on record”, but the global historical climatology network data set, used by both NOAA and NASA to draw their comparisons, contains long-term daily temperature data mostly the United States, not the globe.


For the majority of the planet we don’t have temperature data extending back this far, yet government agencies and their western media lapdogs continue to give the impression that a long-term global average is well-known. It isn’t. It is guesswork.

It is possible to construct a relatively reliable long-term temperature dataset for the United States –dating back to the late-1800s– but the AGW Party aren’t fans of doing this as it doesn’t show much of a warming trend — things are practically flat.

Looking at the average maximum temperatures in the U.S. on July 22 from 1895 to 2024, this year saw a relatively cool July 22, ranking as the 110th warmest since 1895.


Critics, such as Tony Heller, argue that NASA’s assertion of July 22, 2024 being the hottest day on record globally overlooks significant historical patchiness. Also, note NASA’s own chart ‘global daily temperature’ (above), it only dates back to 1980.

Nothing unprecedented is occurring; there is no cause for alarm; no call to trash living standards in order to save humanity. Are 2023 and 2024 proving anomalously warm? It appears so, yes. But as always, there are natural (temporary) explainers:


What we should be concerned about is ‘Net Zero’:

“If we actually achieved Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease,” says Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, who goes on to give just one example, nitrogen based fertilizers.

“At least 50% of the population depends on nitrogen fertilizer for its existence. And there’s people trying to ban it, and the Netherlands and Sri Lanka have already made these kinds of moves. So it is truly a death wish in disguise, and the disguise is to save the Earth, which doesn’t need saving.”

Summer To Quit Early This Year

In a frustrating twist for the AGW Party, latest GFS runs foresee a significant cold air mass engulfing much of the CONUS come mid-August, contradicting the media’s relentless cherry-picked spiel of “record summer heat”.

Maps show a massive cold anomaly sweeping from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast, with temperatures plunging as much as 20C below average.

States from Montana to Alabama are set to experience unseasonable, potentially record-breaking lows.


This premature end to summer will give the MSM’s heatwave fixation a few problems.

Not to worry though, I’m sure the likes of CNN will sidestep the U.S. and instead ambulance chase the warmth around the planet — I would say they’d continue their milking of the Paris Olympics, which is apparently experiencing heat “impossible without climate change,” but a cool-down is on the cards here and all:


Those still buying the propaganda at this point have no hope:


The temperatures in Paris (one day of 35C/95F) are entirely standard summer fare, not even close to record-breaking.

And now here comes to cooling with below average temps forecast for the foreseeable:


Auroras In The USA

On July 31, Earth was struck by two coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Though each impact was weak, they collectively triggered a G1-class geomagnetic storm, resulting in auroras over Minnesota:

Strong red auroras extended as far south as Nebraska, reports spaceweather.com.

Minor storming is anticipated to persist as Earth navigates the magnetized wake of these CMEs. Another is expected to hit Earth Thursday, Aug 1, with NOAA forecasters saying it could spark a G2-class geomagnetic storm.
