RE: previous 2 posts
My argument isn’t that it’s partcularly warm, or that it’s warmng at a particularly alaming rate. My argument is that it’s NOT cooling. There have been a whole host of posts on this and other blogs claiming that , because of quiet sun, PDO or whatever, we’re heading into a deep freeze. The lower temperatures of the past 12 months were presented as evidence that this cooling was now underway. I had always maintained that temperatures were simply tracking the recent La Nina and now that has faded temperatures are returning to recent ‘normal’ levels.
On the issue of Russia. Much of central Russia was ‘warmer’ than during November. Since the end of November, the ‘warmth’ has become less widespread and a cold area (anomaly wise) appears to have developed over northern Russia/Siberia.
