NOAA forecast shows lows into the 30’s and 40’s for much of the norther and western USA will likely continue. Where’s that global warming when we need it?

I’m still holding to my silly prediction that maybe NH ice has reached its minimum or just about hehe.

Here in Canberra, Australia, we have just had a record warm month of July. Of course, it’s simply weather. Always has been variable; always will be.
Also interesting to note that high min temps out number High temps almost 3 to 1 ( 126 vs 47 to be specific). Looks like a UHI signal to me. It would be interesting to look at a series of these record plots over time & see if that trend is consistent. It would surprise me if it wasn’t.
Reality disappoints – gavin
Temperatures above 80 N latitude have dropped to freezing quite a bit early. Looks like a very short summer in the Arctic.

I think one of the reasons it has been record high lows in Arizona is that it has been quite humid this summer so far and when it’s humid here it is quite warm at night. All in all, it has been a beautiful summer so far…not too hot!
Just checked temps for Canberra for July. Certainly looks pretty warm. It would be interesting to know how much is UHI. Guess we will never know.
Here in the SW of Oz it’s been a really cold winter including July. Will be interested to see the Global temp for July from UAH and RSS, when the figures are in.
The actual question to ask might rather be, where did the heat go? Its still out there.
One answer is, the circum-polar regions, which have been consistently running consistently above normal. I’d also look at some of the sea surface temperatures in the Arctic and North Atlantic, which in some areas are amazingly high:

Low temperature records don’t indicate an end to climate change; they indicate an unsettled climate. Look at the long term trends before jumping to conclusions.
It has not been a summer in Southern Ontario. We had 4 days of warm weather, when Torontonians blew up the grid with their air conditioners. The only thing that saved Ontario was the 6 Coal plants that were previously closed and are now slated to close for sure at the end of this year. I have no idea what they will do next year for electricity. I think we might stay in the Bahamas next summer rather than coming back here for winter. They have dependable electricity there.
“where did the heat go? Its still out there.”
Yeah we know.. Its hiding in the recesses of the AGW bletherens’ minds, or deep in the oceans sitting there waiting to pounce out at the unwary.!
Meanwhile the temperature above 80N is below the 40 year average and dropping fast.

Here in southeast Alabama, we just completed a thirty-one day stretch where the day’s high failed to reach the average high. On July 30th, the high was 92ºF, which is the average high for that day. If the forecast for July 31st pans out, we will have completed the calendar month of July without exceeding the daily high a single time and only touching it once.
And the long term trends show we are over the natural 60-70 year peak, and heading downwards.

Most of that is probably from the political climate 🙂
We have had a few warmish winter days down on the coast when the Sun gets a decent showing during the day, but its still noticeably winter at night time.
This is normal for this part of the 18.6 year lunar declinational cycle coupled with low solar activity.
Take a look at the usual temperatures from the past four cycles on my forecast maps, been posted for over a Year in the current format. Scan forward and back a couple weeks of daily maps you will see the break in the SW drought came right on schedule.

And all of the heavy rain on the East coast past couple weeks was forecast as well.
For those who watch these things, the temperature north of 80 is the lowest this summer than in the 54 years of the record…..

Not a trend, but just saying……
@ur momisugly Jeff Allen The actual question to ask might rather be, where did the heat go? Its still out there.
You might equally ask where does the heat come from. Most heat waves are associated with the temporary inhibition of convection typical in high pressure systems and due to an adiabatically created ceiling acting much like the glass in a greenhouse. When that weather dynamic stops the heat is carried up and away. The heat wave only created a statistical rise in temperatures. It doesnt mean heat was stored anywhere, CO2 does not trap heat, it only delays it return to space.When the heat wave is over it doesnt mean it is still out there.
Pressure systems do push warmer air northward and cooler air southward. The strength of the Icelandic Low drives warm air and water into the Barents Sea and pushes cold air down along the west coast of Greenland. That heat temporarily raises local temperatures then the heat radiates back to space. It is not still out there.
Your question is better asked of the divergence between maximum and minimum temperatures. As seen for most of California’s Sierra Nevada their are opposing trends in daytime and night time temperatures.
http://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/clip_image0023.png
Most of the global average has been driven by rising minimums, so where does that night time heat go in the day time? If the heat was stored then maximums should rise as well. The only other explanation is less heat is being added to the earth. Either way the earth is not overheating. Convection during the mid day when maximums are measure short circuits any greenhouse effect and carries the heat away. It is not still out there.
For the month, the numbers look a little different. The rest of the month had record highs outpacing record lows. 602 to 422. Overall. the ratio for July is only 1.3:1, not 10:1 in favor of cooling.
But I am not surprised that Anthony could find at least one week this year (and it looks like one whole month even) where the records were in favor of cooling. Without checking, I will bet that the records for the year are in favor of warming.
(Interestingly, the ratio record high lows and record low highs are in favor of warming, by 1.3:1 for the month of July — the opposite of the trend for the simple highs and lows.)
@Jeff Allen, as Jim Steele points out high pressure highs and circulatory anomalies have nothing to do with CO2. The mechanism by which alarmists claim CO2 affects climate is a global warming. As a gas it expands and mixes making localised effects almost non-existent, discounting CO2 as a cause of circulatory convective extremes.
There is also the fact that ocean temperatures have not increased significantly and claiming heat can jump the surface layers to a depth of 2000 metres down is against the laws of thermodynamics.

Meanwhile in Australia, we’re apparently suffering from global warming…..

Though is it really “global warming” when only Australia is posting hot temp records? One thing I noticed in the article is a single reference to the true culprit….. warm surrounding oceans providing warm onshore winds.
Calgary was a brisk 4 degrees celsius this morning.

Your link doesn’t appear to match your comment.. wrong link I suspect.
AWG is a long running hoax perpetrated by Statists and Enviro nuts.

The usual warmist deception. In the SH, cool SST anomalies predominate all the way from the polar sea ice (a million sq km above normal) to the equator.

Not only is global warming missing but all the extra heat we’ve been assured is hidden somewhere is nowhere to be found.
