UK’s Historically Cold Summer Drags On; Greenland Ice Sheet Uptick; + Establishment Disconnect
UK’s Cold Summer Drags On
The UK Met Office insists 40C summers will soon to be commonplace. And so by their calculations, the persistently chilly July just gone was made all the more extraordinary. It was a historically cold month and there’s still no warm-up in sight.
The Met Office are keen to blame the jet stream for the UK’s miserable summer, and they’re right to.
That band of fast-flowing air some 6 miles above our heads has indeed ‘buckled’ and is indeed responsible for funneling polar air over not just the UK but the majority of the European continent, too, which has resulted in a host new low temperature records across many nations, as well as heavy summer snow in the Alps.
When it comes to anomalous cold, however –such as this year’s no-show summer– ‘natural’ climatic elements are always to blame, whereas any unusually hot conditions –such as last year’s heatwave (which saw an airport nudge above 40C for a few hours, literally)– are always deemed consistent with IPCC ‘global boiling’ divinations.
It couldn’t possibly be the case that the UK’s toasty few days of 2022 was also due to the jet stream–seeing it subject to a rising African plume…? No, it would appear that explanation is only viable when it comes to descending Arctic air masses, i.e. cold.
Click the link below for more on ‘meridional’ jet stream mechanics:
July 2023 is set to finish with an average of 16C (60.8F), as per official Central England Temperature (CET) figures.
This would put the month on par with 21 other Julys in the CET’s 364-year history, those being the Julys of 1659, 1664, 1665, 1668, 1670, 1671, 1676, 1679, 1680, 1684, 1712, 1720, 1726, 1732, 1739, 1805, 1814, 1824, 1828, 1929, and 2002.
There hasn’t been a peep about this from the BBC, of course.
Instead, all we’ve had from them is Met Office press releases about how ‘global boiling’ will soon render a 40C summer ‘cool’.
–Media bias on full show.
Looking to August, temperatures are on course to dip even lower.
Latest GFS runs (shown below) foresee something akin to Autumn setting in this weekend.
Lows of 3C (37.4F) are on the cards starting Friday which, if they play out, would match the UK’s lowest-ever recorded temperature for the date (Aug 4) — the 3C set at Santon Downham, Norfolk back in 1987 (solar minimum of cycle 21).
Needless to say, Europe’s stark ‘blue’ and ‘purple’ temperature anomalies don’t make it to public telescreens, nor does the heavy summer snow currently pounding the continent’s higher elevations.
Instead, the visuals focus solely on a small pocket of heat in the far south (heat that has now long-dispersed, by the way).
Again, the media’s agenda-driving bias is on full show. Frustratingly though, few seem to notice/see where all this is leading.
Greenland Ice Sheet Uptick
The Greenland Ice Sheet is witnessing a very strong season of 2022-23 with above-average SMB gains.
Despite July’s standard summer dip, progress is now back on track–and then some.
Note the sharp uptick of the past few days:
The MSM has been a little late to bewail the ice sheet’s summer losses, but bewail they now have: “Greenland’s arctic ice sheet can be seen melting away in satellite images,” reads the opening lines of a Newsweek article dated Monday, July 31.
“These images come as up to 50% of Greenland’s ice sheet surface was measured undergoing some degree of melt on several days in July, spanning over 300,000 square miles,” Newsweek continue, trying their darnedest to hyperbolize a standard summer event.
For an article about Greenland, very little else is pertinent–which is telling. Instead, Newsweek go on to quote UN Secretary-General António Guterres regarding the looming AGW catastrophe.
“For vast parts of North America, Asia, Africa and Europe – it is a cruel summer”–which is a lie, unless you play fast and loose with the term ‘vast’. America, overall, is on for a colder-than-average summer; Europe is practically freezing (as shown above); South Africa is enduring a polar blast as I type; while much of Asia, particularly northern swathes, were breaking low temperature records in July. But don’t go letting the facts get in the way, Guterres–“For the entire planet, it is a disaster. And for scientists, it is unequivocal – humans are to blame. All this is entirely consistent with predictions and repeated warnings. The only surprise is the speed of the change.”
Wow.
The establishment’s disconnect from reality is now blinding.
I, personally, doubt my contentions every single day, as I feel is only right and proper. But in recent times, the mainstream’s warm-mongering has marched into such an unparalleled theatrical phase that it’s leaving all climatic reality in its dust, and I now know I’m right (as much as I can ‘know’ anything).
I document the cold daily, and it is intensifying — I see it.
Bursts of fierce heat will always still occur however, and it is my view that these will actually become fiercer–though not because of anthropogenic ‘global boiling’, but rather due to a low solar activity-induced ‘meridional’ jet stream flow.
In times of meridional (i.e. wavy) flow, a region’s weather is determined by which ‘side’ of the stream it’s on. If it is located ‘above’ the stream (in the NH) then it’s in for a spell of unseasonably cold conditions–open to influxes of Arctic air; while conversely, if the locale is ‘under’ the jet stream then it is set for anomalously hot conditions–subject to air masses dragged up from the tropics.
A wavy jet stream flow also increases the prevalence of swings between extremes. That is to say, an intense burst of heat will linger in one area, while a teeth-chattering chill will dominate nearby; these regions are also then open to flipping on a dime, which is EXACTLY what we’ve just witnessed in southern Europe:
Everything has a natural (often Sun-driven) explanation.
Never is there the need for witch hunting — unless of course there’s an agenda you want forwarding.
There is absolutely no doubt that winters are becoming longer.
My business was at sea, before 2016 I chartered in Greece and the season was from April 1st to end of September. In 2018 the season started one month later and finished one month earlier!
That is two months of loss, I stopped the business!
This is in Greece
Funny!
I just made a search for cold weather in the uk and 70% of the results where about influenza!
It’s pointless even thinking of making a search in the internet, it’s just full of crap!
Thanks for being a sane mind. Its abundantly clear we are in a grand solar minimum and its just getting going. No surprise the internet search engines are biased to the green washing climate crisis narrative and “fake science busters” websites that are obviously run by big corporations or govts. Nasa telling us we are definitely not going into a grand solar minimum even though it happens every 400 odd years and its been 400 since the last. Mainstream and conventional science is just being used for social engineering however the elites want. The god damn church used to do this to us! Then turn round and say it was our sin that gave us horrible diseases. To think there are so many dense and brainwashed humans on this planet dragging us along to the oblivion of humane rational natural philosophy.
It’s amazing how esteemed academic historians like Peter Frankopan (of Oxford) who go into extensive discussions on past climate variability/change (e.g. the Sun, volcanoes) and historical eras/events nonetheless go into full CAGW-hysteria mode when discussing the present-day global climate situation. Even someone like Frankopan who delves into the past climate record in explaining history contends that the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age were localized and/or incomplete whereas the present-day CAGW is more comprehensive and poses even more of a danger than anything in the past 1000 years or more.

Know you are right Cap!! Full Speed Ahead!!!
It is Amazing that these lows compare to previous solar lows
when we are supposed to be at a solar max. That is saying something.
As we go to the solar lows it is just going to get colder and colder!!!
Prepare!

Anomalous weather here in SW Florida!!!
See my morning view here:
https://youtu.be/_fkNsk222CY “#climatechange On Action! 1st August 2023 SW Florida 7 AM EDT”
https://youtu.be/C1FuG-zSqMc “#climatechange Sunrise SW Florida 1 August 2023”
Both these show the beautiful off the coast popup popcorn thunderstorms off the coast. An hour and a half later on land at my house the rain is starting to pour.
This is August. About the time one thinks it is going to get hot down here it starts raining and cools things off.
What is anomalous is that it normally rains as it has the past five years on a morning temp rise. Today the morning pre-dawn temps were flat compared to the last few days, so it should not be raining today. This anomaly has occurred earlier this year for the first time in my record keeping history.
I take it this is a pivotal year, even indicated by the Greenland SMB.

Matching a record cold while you are at a solar peak or max is a cause for concern.
You are absolutely right there!
Seems to me the solar max may have muted the Hunga Tonga and other volcanos, the reduction of the sunlight by the high ice crystals reported by Accuweather in their photo blog I posted here earlier.

Well, because of the high crime rate in the blue city where I live on the outskirts, I am selling my house that has heat pump, plus LP gas vented heaters (no electric, ) and a wood stove that keeps me warm anyway without using heat pump. Where I will go after this, well, hopefully, get another house that can weather the cold. The crime rate has gotten so bad that our friends refuse to visit. Blue city, blue county. Even Tucker Carlson got us on his news a couple months ago. I appreciate what Cap does, he has saved our garden a few years in a row now.
This summer in the Pacific NW is unusual. The Jet Stream has been parked along the Washington/Oregon border resulting in a very mild, dry summer in NW Washington. The unusual thing has been the wind. Every afternoon, a strong wind blows in out of the NW and stays until night. Our neighbor who has lived all of her 50+ years here told us she had never experienced such a windy summer like this. Crazy stuff.
Sea temp 52F, land temp 84F, temp diff determines wind speed and direction.

Hi Dirk and free thinking readers.
The wind near the ocean often arrives in the morning with the low tide.
In effect the outgoing tide is attempting to create a vacuum which is filled by potential wind.
As the incoming tide begins it is in effect compressing the atmosphere and the wind arrives or increases because of tidal displacement.
Interesting idea!!!
Could the moon’s gravity also cause tides in the atmosphere?
We need a comparison of air pressure versus tide data.
Throw that one over to the dogs to see how they bite!!
LoL!!!

In Southern California, USA it also seems like a pivotal year. I’ve noticed more clouds, cooler temperatures and more wind. Last winter we had an enormous amount of rain which is so unusual for so. Cal! We call our area the coastal desert but maybe we need to change that name!
It’s very refreshing to read articles that are not agenda driven and are based on science

Well, TEXAS is baking because it is on the side of the Jet Stream pulling from the Tropics. I will gladly go outside a “blow” my 102 degree Fahrenheit heat to anyone on the chilly side of the Jet.

This is for Cap and the rest who are Electroversitians. I’m messing with collective nouns here. That will never be a word. Here is one that should be used from now on. I believe that those of us that tune in to Caps posts could well be called Capians. Now you don’t have to explain what being a follower (don’t like that word) or an agreeer with Cap. You/We are Capians. It will catch on. For Cap, please change the terminology regarding the Jet Stream from being below it and above it, to being east or west of it. Above and below only work in a zonal flow. I spent 30+ years as a fighter pilot (four years) and then thankfully as an airline pilot with CP-Air. Got too old in 2002. I suggest you expose the Capians to Valentina Zharkova’s tried/tested theory in after/pre casting (opposite of forecasting) of her theory that we are about to re-experience the Maunder Minimum and fully be there by 2032. Anybody, please challenge what I’ve said. We don’t have much time left to prepare. In the MM 10% of humans died. 1 billion totaL souls (in 1645) equals 100 million dead. Today, 8 billion equals 800 million dead. Want to be one of them?
I ran out of space above. Please try not to confuse local weather phenomena/events with climate. The term climate is simply many periods/years of local, i.e. northern Europe, western Europe, the northern hemisphere, south Asia, weather, over a long period of time. like 60 years+. It is evident that entropy is not being taught to many around the globe. Simply, entropy is the migration of a higher energy level to a lower energy level. My pea brain understands this as the higher level has more heat (or energy level) and therefore the heat will always try to go where there is not as much heat/energy. We don’t cold (cool) up hot areas even though one thinks about blowing cold air on hot brakes. Where does the cold air come from? Stand behind the cooling fans behind an airliner’s air conditioning cooling fans and you can see where the heat goes. You have to stand firm or be blown backward. How does that happen> It takes the jet engines running, to provide the bleed compressor air to drive the airconditioning devices. Hardly an efficient energy transfer system in my mind. Sort of Air Conditioning 101. Turn off the electricity or furnace in your house in January, it will not heat up. The air around it will for a short period of time. Is this because the CO2 moved around to allow the warming to stop? Not likely. Do massive amounts of CO2 rotate around the planet to give us our seasons? No. We are totally dependent on our star’s total solar irradiance and the sooner that message gets out, the more humans will survive what’s coming to a planet near us in maybe 10 years. Are you prepared?

How about the little bitty propane flame running the RV Refrigerator?
Another interesting refrigeration unit used in the plastic plant in Odessa, Texas (now leveled to the ground!!) to cool their cooling water to 40 F used a couple of beds of a salt of some kind.
As the salt absorbed the water vapor it produced evaporative cooling in a closed system. While it was absorbing it’s twin sister was being heated up by natgas powered steam to drive the moisture off. Every few hours they would switch functions. The unit was about the size of a shipping container which rattled and rumbled somewhat like a drunk’s stomach!!!
This is true,
