Australia Starts November With Record Cold; Late-Season Antarctic Cold; In China, 77 Stations Meet 'Full Blizzard' Criteria; Arctic Blast Locks Onto U.S.' + Climate Sanity Returning To Europe
A decade of 'climate panic' is finally breaking in Europe.
Australia Starts November With Record Cold
Australia has opened November on a cold note, delivering a sharp flip from last month’s heat and posting a string of early-season records across multiple states.
Stations that broke October high-temperature records only weeks ago are now setting new November cold benchmarks, underscoring the volatility sweeping the subtropics.
Notable new record minimums for the month of November include the 10.6C (51.1F) at The Monument, 10.2C (50.4F) at Julia Creek, 10.1C (50.2F) at Mount Isa Airport, 9.4C (48.9F) at Blackall, and a frosty 3.9C (39F) at Cleve in South Australia.
Daytime highs also broke records, including the 21.6C (70.9F) logged in Cloncurry and the 21.1C (70F) at Urandangi Airport — unusually low for early November in Queensland’s northwest.
Warmth dominated October headlines. Now, in a matter of days, large parts of inland Australia have swung to the opposite extreme, owing to strengthening southerlies, polar intrusions, and a cooling Pacific.
And there’s more where that came from (on Nov 8 and Nov 9):
Late-Season Antarctic Cold
Antarctica has snapped back to winter this week, delivering temperatures wildly out of step with early November.
