Today is shorter than yesterday, by one minute. We peaked out at 14 hours 50 minutes of daylight and stayed there for about a week. Today the days are officially getting shorter. But it’ll be awhile before that has an effect on temperatures. We’ve been in the high 90’s for a couple weeks, might be getting a ” cool spell” in the high 80’s. High humidity, too. I miss the GSM.
Today’s daylight is longer than yesterday’s daylight.
The effect on temperature will occur in August. That is when the wild animals start molting.
How come the people in the Northern Hemisphere walk around upside down?
I don’t think you’re aware of just how dangerous a true solar minimum really is when taking into account we have a world population of more than 8 billion people.
The world has been in a developing solar minimum since 2002 as shown in the Thermosphere Climate Index
During the current solar maximum the thermosphere reached its highest temperature of 34.31×10 (hot zone) after the second week of September 2024. Prior to the X flare activity that increased after Mother’s Day and remained high until September, the thermosphere remained in the warm zone.
Currently the thermosphere temperature is 20.69×10 which is in the warm zone and it has been falling approximately 1×10 every week to 2 weeks. When the thermosphere is in the lower half of the warm zone the earth losses more heat every day than it receives from the sun and this loss of heat increases the more the thermosphere cools. This leads to the cooling and contraction of the lower atmosphere bring colder air closer to the ground, which increases precipitation whether it is rain or snow.
For the last 4 springs late frost have destroyed apple, pear, cherry and other stone fruit crops in both the southern and northern hemispheres. These late and early frost are increasingly further south or north each successive year world wide. So as we leave Solar Cycle 25 much earlier than predicted expect large area crop damage will continue to increase every year, leading to the point where more and more countries cannot feed themselves, and the major food producing counties are left with ever shrinking supply’s.
In the mid 1990’s I had several conversations with NASA while doing research for several oil company and business executives related to the Mayan Calendar 2012 end date and how to prepare for it. At that time NASA was already expressing concerns over the falling temperatures in the thermosphere and what a Grand Solar Minimum would do to our civilization.
What ever the outcome Deb, you will most probably live through the beginning of this calamity.
For David and Deb. Thank you both for being here/there. I am attracted to the term Entropy, which I think explains what is going on all the time, all around us, all over Earth. Heat is a form of energy; cold isn’t! The basic idea is that heat moves/migrates/slithers, (as in cold air masses can be blown around here and there, as can warm air masses)( this can get complicated but the heat works always in the same manner, to ward less heat!) whatever the mechanism, from where it is to where it isn’t; as in moving to where there is less heat (or energy state). Cold does not move, cold is a nothing word! Cold is an absence of heat, not the reverse. Equally, Safety is the absence of risk; therefore, nothing is safe unless risk is eliminated; another word swamp better left for another time. Not fun maybe, for the world’s aviation regulators in the coming days. Thermometers measure heat at their location, indicated by an instantaneous temperature display. They do not display the amount of heat. How hot is hot? The temperature of lava running by one does not give any indication of how much heat is in the lava. If the power goes out for a few hours, does your house heat up? No! It cools down as it loses heat. Unless, of course, it is 100F in the shade and there is no shade. Heat is a form of energy. Look up British Thermal Units (BTUs), Calories, and other neat terms like Joules, Ergs, and naonohoopties, etc, which dance around trying to define energy, power, work, etc. Being the newest owner of a new gas furnace and accompanying heat pump, I am having fun trying to explain what the heat pump is doing. On a planetary scale, the same stuff is happening, as entropy determines the state of Earth’s energy balance, which allows humanity to exist. Too much heat is bad and not enough heat is probably badder (worse). The Sun warms the Earth for roughly 12 hours each day and the Earth loses an almost equivalent amount of radiant heat during the next 12 hours, on and on with slight perturbations to the plus or minus sides. Minus gives us ice ages, and plus gives us civilizational upsurges as warm climates encourage the growth of life, and lack of heat kills it/us! Does anyone, for a moment, think that the Earth’s CO2 is rapidly trying to get ahead of or stay behind daytime solar temperature increases? This would take a 1,000 mile per hour hurricane of CO2 24 hours a day. I think not! Why this is so difficult to understand by humanity, particularly the mainstream media, is astounding to me. As the large shining ball in our sky seems to be heading for a period of solar hibernation of maybe up to 50 -75 years, as happened 400 years ago during the Maunder Solar Minimum; ( see Valentina Zharkova’s virtually provable Solar Double Dynamo Theory) already in process and being blindingly (pun here) evident to even the most strident CAGW lunatics; when will them that are supposed to be in charge of taking care of us common folks say out loud, ” Houston, we have a problem here”! Global food production down by 50%? It is on its way there now! Just trying to help here in difficult times that are guaranteed to get more difficult. Billy Best in the Vancouver, BC area.

It delivers more blood to our brains, which means that we can think better than some other people.
“Global Temperature Metric Is Meaningless”.
Nice summary, Cap. Thanks.

Davidttx
Much appreciated concepts, thank you David.

Moffin!!! 🤨
But it will be worth it if the summers are finally cool.
Let them eat oats, barley and kale. All of that fruit is full of sugar anyway and encourages parasites.
PS The globalists will make sure there are not so many people to feed, anyway
