Tuesday November 19th… Dear Diary. The main purpose of this ongoing blog will be to track United States extreme or record temperatures related to climate change. Any reports I see of ETs will be listed below the main topic of the day. I’ll refer to extreme or record temperatures as ETs (not extraterrestrials).😉
I usually look at the Climate Reanalyzer products once a day, taking note of both warm and cold anomalies. What struck me today is that the planet ticked up from +.6°C to +.7°C above the 1979-2000 base, and that there are many disturbing warm anomalies in pockets across the globe:
Let’s delve into a few of these. Australia is broiling during their spring, and this week will be no exception:
Although this time of the year most locations in the Arctic are below freezing, this region as a whole is at +4.0°C above average:

Across the U.S. West:

I may add more relevant notes to this post should they cross my radar later today.
Here is more climate and weather news from Tuesday:
(As usual, this will be a fluid post in which more information gets added during the day as it crosses my radar, crediting all who have put it on-line. Items will be archived on this site for posterity. In most instances click on the pictures of each tweet to see each article.)
