Uk achieved a dead average CET, but only because 31st reached over 30°c (37°c at a major international airport 🤷🏼♂️) ECMWF currently showing hot weather next weekend, guess why, same reason for fridays temps, meridionality. Nothing like having your automated observation station just by the express exit from the runway. So aircraft with full reverse thrust can blow 600C jet eflux at it.

Even here we have had a few days with highs in the 70s (about 25C-ish). While not unheard of in the record, they are probably in the 10th percentile or so of occurrences ... and concentrated in the known colder time periods. Been rainy as well ... 50% above normal for June and perhaps 10+% for July. No records, just wet.

I don't know how local it has been, but this is the coolest, dampest summer that I have ever seen in eastern Oklahoma. Needed a jacket this week. Grass has not turned brown in 5 years.

I am not sure what the frozen antipodes means for the 'North' but it certainly is not global warming

Thunder, lightning, rain.
After 5 days of 34°c or so, its cooler and atmosphere is shedding its moisture. Low pressure has come in from the west cutting off the southerly flow of hot/humid air, pumping additional moisture in.
Fantastic weather watching! Possibly the hottest period of weather since I was born, 100% due to meridionality.
Shouldn't global warming be defined as 'usual weather patterns warmer' not 'unusual weather patterns creating unusual weather'?
Personally I really enjoy unusual weather. Mostly here that doesn't mean dangerous unlike, say, south east coast USA 😉

Just today, Cindy, my otherwise pragmatic, just the facts, T-Mobile traffic mapping assistant, started giving me a social justice warrior lecture. I shit you not. I was floored. I'm writing T=Mobile a nasty letter ... and I told Cindy I was gonna fire her ass if she ever did that again. She was sweetly unimpressed.

Longest monsoon in 33 years batters Korean Peninsula, leaving scores dead and 7 000 homelesswatchers.news/2020/08/12/korea-longest-monsoon-since-1987/We have not talked much about monsoons here. But seasonal temp-pressure system differences between continent and ocean are typically charged as driving forces. Haven't found papers on varying strength based on solar cycles.

No ... I am not joking. I couldn't believe it. I was driving down a long stretch of highway ... long time between navigation instructions from Cindy ... and she began "lecturing" (talking to?) me about what I can only describe as social justice issues. I think I said something like ... why am I paying for this Cindy? Don't ever do that again. Sometimes she acts like she's responding to something being said. She'll say ... "I didn't get that" ... like we were actually having a conversation. I'll admit to thanking her after instructions like she was human, but so far she has not answered like Hal in 2001.

I think it is time for a different GPS advisor.

Yangtse Kiang 3 Gorges Dam - again"Authorities have ordered dam operators to try to hold back incoming flood water, as Chinese manufacturing and farming heartland cities in the Yangtze Delta are bracing for yet more severe flooding. The same order given by Chinese authorities in similar circumstances in 1975 led to the deaths of up to a quarter of a million people........
.......This year Typhoon Hagupit struck the Yangtze River headwaters. Continuing severe rainfall is striking already waterlogged ground. Whistle blower and renowned geologist Fan Xiao’s warnings about the structural integrity of Three Gorges have been dismissed by authorities. And now once again Chinese authorities are putting pressure on operators of dams which are already sitting at or near maximum capacity to do their best to hold back the flood.
Let us hope that history does not repeat itself. 400 million people live in the Yangtze River Delta, downstream of the Three Gorges Dam."More here> wattsupwiththat.com/2020/08/23/china-three-gorges-dam-bracing-for-more-flooding/
