I’m looking for a place where I can get my hands on the daily temp records for my city here in the US. I’d like to look for equally interesting stats since it’s been much cooler than normal here. An excel file – or something similar is what I’m looking for.

“…What will be interesting is to follow the situation after the el nino starts. Right now, the global anomalies are “exploding”…
The only thing exploding is the “reputation” of the builders of the weather models that expected a warming trend.
This reminds me of the Dark Knight from the Monty Python era. Tis a flesh wound…

One of the signs Warmists point to is drastic falls in insect populations, particularly bees and butterflies. Over the last few weeks I’ve seen explosions in both butterfly and bee populations including the virus devastated honey bee. Lots of beetles too, particularly ladybirds (ladybugs). Out walking my dog across the fields this afternoon there were thousands (no exageration) of small tortoisehell butterflies, previously considered endangered. In places the path was smothered in fluttering orange “torties”. Do you think I should send Greenpolice some pictures?

NOAA announced: “Excluding the 23 of 30 days below average, June in Central Park was actually 2 degrees ABOVE average. We are therefore reclassifying the entire region on our map with the color Yellow.”
The National Hurricane Center reiterated: “Despite cooler temperatures, there remains a certain probability that a major hurricane may strike the NYC area with which could potentially cause significant damage.”
NSIDC confidently repeated its forecast that NY harbor will be “Ice Free” this Summer.

In the Monterey NWS CWA:
IN AN IRONIC TWIST OAKLAND AIRPORT TIED A RECORD LOW YESTERDAY OF 51. THE COASTAL STRATUS IS USUALLY SO COMMON BY MID JULY THAT ALL IT TAKES IS A CLEAR NIGHT TO APPROACH RECORD LOWS EVEN AS A HEAT EVENT GETS UNDERWAY.
=====
The pattern we are now experiencing is typical of early Fall in this CWA.

RE: bateman (02:38:59) :
I knew I had heard that year 2020 quoted somewhere, found it:
From a transcript of the hearing to confirm Holdren,
Holdren actually reaffirmed that he
still believes one billion people may
die within the next 11 years from a
climate-related drought
====================
He may be ironically correct but for the wrong reason. Global cooling, if entrenched over the next several years, would cause global failures of monsoonal / ITCZ impingement upon a number of key tropical and semi tropical zones with a wet – dry climate. Having their climate go to dry – dry would kill at least a billion. If we concurrently experience late blights, freezes, floods, etc in our high latitude granaries, one billion may be low balling.

I looked at the AO index posted here already, it seems like the dip went clean off the range of the graph, something that never happened in the period covered by the graph, could it mean something cold heading to some parts of the world?

It’s all so Orwellian… war is peace, freedom is slavery, and now cooling is warming.

As I understand it butterflies fly around more because there wings are like solar panels. So any warmist will see signs of global warming in this statement. I did note that the weather forecast for this Friday in the UK is that the weather is going to be more like autumn

Heh heh

Oh! The Pilling Pig flying over the Preesall Mountains. Such untold magnificence.

It doesn’t matter if there was record heat in California or not. The earth is in a cooling trend. Any record heat would just be ‘weather’.

I can’t get the ABC News video report to play when I click the image. Maybe there are others who can’t too.
Here’s a link to the video :

Overnite low was 46F (~8C) here in west Md on the 13th. Coldest July reading I can remember (and I can remember a long time). Certainly at record-low-for-the-date pace. Dew points were extraordinarily low for this time of yr. I had a damaging frost here too back in late May.
I guess global warming is really beginning to kick in now — only a matter of yrs before we all perish…..

“THIS JUNE IS TIED FOR THE 8TH COOLEST ON RECORD.” is in error, at least according to their data. June was tied for the 9th coolest on record. They screwed up by thinking of 1926/1902 as only a single record.
