Antarctica Nears July Record Low With -82.1C (-115.8F); European Glaciers Remain Covered In Snow; UK Met Office Reports a Cool Summer So Far; + July Cold Wave To Grip Much Of U.S.

The Met Office has warmed June's CET reading from -0.1C to 0.0C, a tweak that conveniently removes the anomalously cold month from the data series.

Antarctica Nears July Record Low With -82.1C (-115.8F)

The global minimum for 2024 has just been nudged lower.

On July 16, the Dome Fuji AWS, Antarctica posted -82.1C (-115.8F), which is a reading not far off the station's monthly record of -82.9C (-117.2F) set on July 27, 2014.

The Relay Station AWS also hit a noteworthy -72C (97.6F) at 22:50 UTC.

Below-average readings persist at the Ross Ice Shelf and all, with Schwerdtfeger, Vito, and Margaret all approaching -60C (-76F).

Such anomalous readings continue the multi-year cooling trend documented at the bottom of the world.

European Glaciers Remain Covered In Snow

The Ossoue Glacier, France remains covered in snow in mid-July, a theme repeated across many European mountains — news unreported by the legacy media.

The great health of the glacier is attributed to a cold spring and a cool start to the summer, according to Météo Pyrénées on X.

Situated in the French Pyrenees, the Ossoue Glacier is considered a crucial indicator of climatic trends in the region—or it was before it started misbehaving, i.e. retaining mass. The heavy snow cover this season is preserving the glacier’s integrity, which still, as of mid-July, has no ice exposed.
