Florida’s February Freeze; Tropical Cold Records Shattered; Aomori Nears All-Time Snow Record; Canada’s Warming Claim Fails Data Check; + Cycle 25’s Most Active Sunspot
If the warming signal vanishes when a single known artifact is corrected, the government’s central climate claim collapses with it.
Florida’s February Freeze
A deep Arctic surge delivered one of the coldest February nights Florida has seen in decades, pushing freezing air all the way to the subtropics and setting or tying a long list of monthly records across the state.
In Florida, temperatures fell as low as 18F (-7.8C), an extreme reading for the peninsula. Along the central and east coast, multiple long-standing February records were broken or tied.
Sanford and Leesburg each dropped to 23F (-5C), tying their coldest February lows ever recorded. Daytona Beach fell to 23F (-5C), its coldest February temperature in weather books dating back to 1923. Melbourne fell to 24F (-4.4C), also establishing a new monthly record in books back to 1937.
Cold pushed south with little moderation.
Vero Beach posted 26F (-3.3C), West Palm Beach dropped to 30F (-1.1C), and Fort Pierce hit 23F (-5C), setting a new February low and coming within just 1F of its all-time record. Orlando fell to 24F (-4.4C), as did Lakeland — both among the coldest February readings on record.
Even South Florida was not spared.
Miami International Airport registered 35F (1.7C) — a reading just 3F shy of the city’s February record low, ranking as the fourth-coldest February temperature since records began in 1937 and the coldest February reading there since 1947.
Tropical Cold Records Shattered
The cold surge extended even deeper south into the Tropics, delivering rare and in some cases historic temperatures across Central America and the Caribbean.
