Europe’s June Cold Goes Unreported; Rain Claim Doesn't Hold Water; Models Got The Oceans Backwards; + Solar Cycle 25 Keeps Fizzling
If models cannot reproduce where that heat has actually gone since 1950, their catastrophe outputs deserves far less attention than politicians, activists and media outlets give them.
Europe’s June Cold Goes Unreported
Britain has flipped from record May heat to June chill.
Late May was treated as a national emergency. Now the cold has returned, and the noise has gone.
On June 9, the Met Office daily extremes showed Braemar down to 1.6C (34.9F), not far off the national record low for the day. In Aberdeenshire, locals described wintry scenes in Oldmeldrum, with reports of rare summer snow.
The cold was not confined to the UK. Much of Europe has been shivering this week.
León/Virgen del Camino in northern Spain fell to just 1C (33.8F) on June 10, setting a daily low record (books back to 1938).
Other stations across Spain and North Africa also came close.
La Coruña fell to 8C (46.4F), just above its daily mark. While Essaouira, farther south in Morocco, dropped to 16C (60.8F), less than 1C from its record, with Rabat-Salé posting 12C (53.6F), within 1.3C of its benchmark.
This is the same continent that was saturated with heatwave headlines two weeks earlier. May heat was ‘climate breakdown’. June cold is ignored.
Rain Claim Doesn’t Hold Water
Warmer air can hold more water, so rainfall must intensify. That is the claim. The physics behind it is the Clausius-Clapeyron relation, roughly 7% more water vapor capacity per 1C of warming. That part is real. The abuse comes afterward.
