Guess what, it rains now! Look on the bright side. If there were to be a full-blown ice age, you wouldn't have a worry in the world. You'd be able to walk (ski?) over to the Balkans, weather permitting.  |

From twitter today... a historical account of the Medieval Warm Period..... Don't suppose they provided a citation reference? It is a cut and paste from a Disqus forum.... the full quote is:
"And what did our forefathers and mothers do to 'keep temperatures "under 2 degrees C" in the recorded historical instances below??? I guess they just endured through that solar cycle till the world moved into cooling.
Anno 1133: In France, heavy rains cause widespread flooding.
Anno 1134: Drought extreme in the North of France. In June, a hot wind dries
Normandy. Everywhere thirsty people flow into streams and rivers and many
drown. In September in Normandy and elsewhere, many towns and villages were
completely destroyed by fire, like Le Mans, Chartres, Alençon, Nogent and Verneuil. Undergoes drying of the Sambre in Namur. Tsunami on
the coasts of the North Sea in September or October. One night, the sea invades
the land to a depth of 7 miles, stunning villages and homes. The disaster
affects Flanders and neighboring countries. In December, major floods in Normandy.
Floods reach the roofs of houses.
Anno 1135: Great heat and widespread drought in France and England. "It
was so great that the land was burning hot at various locations in
France." Pastures and fields are grilled and there followed a great
famine. Rivers and lakes are dry. Heather in the mountains and forests ignited
by the action of sunlight. In Germany, the Rhine is almost entiè! Larly dry and
can be crossed on foot. The forests are on fire. The December 1st of England
was swept away by a hurricane.
Anno 1136: The drought continues. In France the heat was intense. Very hot
summer and drought in Eastern Europe. October 27, hurricane destroyed many
buildings in France.
Anno 1137: Summer very hot and drought throughout Europe. The streams are
dry. In France, the drought continues from March to September. wells, springs
and rivers have dried up and many people are dying of thirst. In northern
France, the heat was stifling. In the midst of this heat, several cities were
destroyed by fire in Germany Mainz and Speyer particular. In England, famine
and drought reigned was general. In Italy, subterranean fires appeared that
lasted three years.
Anno 1141: April 24, earthquake in Aachen. In England, a tornado destroyed
part of the city of Wellesbourne.
Anno 1142: In Eastern Europe, a hot and dry summer because starvation and
many deaths.
Anno 1143: In January in France, violent storms are causing great
destruction.
Anno 1144: On February 14, a hurricane caused great damage in England.
Severe drought for several months in England, and a great famine resulting"I shall see if I can find the original but it may be from a non-electronic copy. The section "Rhine is almost entiè! Larly dry" seems to indicate a poor text decode of a graphic. EDIT OK found the source - I think - I should have recognized it.....wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/weather1.pdf |

Thanks for saving the link Ratty. When I posted it, I didn't save it as I should have so when questions arise, I am always at somewhat of a loss to find it again. You are a good man, and I am convincing your wife of the same. Give me more time ole chap, and I will succeed. |

I particularly liked this quote ... In 1156 in southern France, excessive drought brought about winter. (p. 66).
Given the winter AND summer extremes during most of this period, do you suppose a semi-stationary meridional corridor could set up and maintain itself over a number of years. Cold from the Arctic - heat from the Sahara. I note this winters west and central European atmospheric corridor. Cold and snow all the way into the Sahara. Do I remember our posting friend from Central Europe referring to hot, dry conditions over the past few years??? |
