October's significant chill – take your pick on descriptors

Nice !
a tiny hurricane in the gulf. LOL
the weather is not climate dept.

Oops, they’re using °F, so the trend is .22°C/century.

The US is such a bellwether for the PDO and jet stream. You would have to be blind to not see that oscillation signal in the temp tracing.

I knew it was going to be close. I constructed this over the first couple days of October and posted it on the 6th over on my website.

A record cold October 2009?
Posted by: sullivanweather, 3:40 PM GMT on October 06, 2009
For 95% of the contiguous United States the first 5 days of October has started below normal, with about half the country decidedly so, running 5-12 degrees subpar. For much of the Western US and Northern Plains this is a marked change from the month of September when temperatures ran 4-8 degrees above normal for the month. Several locations even recorded their warmest or second warmest September on record. The reason for the record warmth was an anomalously strong ‘Rex block’ over Canada that was bookended by a pair of equally persistent areas of troughiness; one over the Gulf of Alaska and another over Greenland which were both responsible for numerous areas of cyclogenesis during the Month of September (see fig.2). But near the end of the month things began to change.

With so much of the country expected so far below normal through the first two week of the month, will the record for the coldest October on record fall?
To answer we need to look back at the coldest October on record – 1925. Does this October bear any resemblance to October of that year? Thus far, yes.

I was thinking the same thing. That warm water in the North Atlantic is still working on the Arctic Ocean, and we get the return flow of Arctic Breath air.

The data will be flipped upside down to produce the third warmest October ever!

Strange thing weather. Here in Milford Haven a lot of mornings during September were at 4C, decidedly chilly. For October I was seeing 13C a lot. Very much warmer month. Now for November the last three mornings, and right now, are at 7C. The forcast is heavy rain this morning but nothing happening. Even the clouds don’t look right for heavy rain.

Here in South Australia they are predicting a record-breaking 5 days of 35C in October over the next week. No doubt this will be claimed as proof of AGW.
However, the current record of 4 consecutive days was set in 1894. This will hardly be mentioned and no-one will ask how the old record was set before we put all that nasty CO2 in the atmosphere.
