The month-by-month temperature graphs I saw on the TV worried me more than somewhat: from May onward, 2023's temperatures were *way* higher than the previous records. It looks like we've already passed a tipping point, and the average isn't yet 1.5degC above pre-industrial levels.

Does anybody have the technical drawings for an ark handy?

From the New York Times and probably many other sources, 2023 was officially the hottest year on record (of this modern era when such measurements are being taken.)

Month after month global temperatures didn’t just break records, they surpassed them by far. This year could be even warmer.
The numbers are in, and scientists can now confirm what month after month of extraordinary heat worldwide began signaling long ago. Last year was Earth’s warmest by far in a century and a half.

Global temperatures started blowing past records midyear and didn’t stop. First, June was the planet’s warmest June on record. Then, July was the warmest July. And so on, all the way through December.

Averaged across last year, temperatures worldwide were 1.48 degrees Celsius, or 2.66 Fahrenheit, higher than they were in the second half of the 19th century, the European Union climate monitor announced on Tuesday. That is warmer by a sizable margin than 2016, the previous hottest year.

To climate scientists, it comes as no surprise that unabated emissions of greenhouse gases caused global warming to reach new highs. What researchers are still trying to understand is whether 2023 foretells many more years in which heat records are not merely broken, but smashed. In other words, they are asking whether the numbers are a sign that the planet’s warming is accelerating.

Meanwhile, here in the neighborhood it has been very windy. The leading edge of the storm blowing across the US this week, bringing much colder temperatures by the weekend (even in the south it will be well below freezing).

Our village has been flooded by the incessant rain during the past few weeks. The river Wensum burst its banks last night, and now the only road out of the village is under about a foot of water. Our village 'chief' has raised the issue with the local Council and help may be at hand. Luckily, one can navigate the road in a car (maybe an amphibious one?). Luckily, our bungalow is up a sloping road and we have no flooding.

The three months up to the end of 2023 have been exceptionally wet here in Cornwall. In that time I've recorded just shy of 20 inches of rainfall in my garden. The 1991-2020 average for Bude for those three months is c.12 inches. It's also been depressingly sunless and very windy. We've had just two frosts in all that time, both in November, and there's been nothing even approaching a frost in December. The new year has started in the same vein, with gales both yesterday and this morning, three-quarters of an inch yesterday and persisting down again this morning. I've just sent off for an ark construction manual. My house is on slightly elevated ground above the surrounding farmland and there's no water-course anywhere near. Highly recommended!

The reason we have seasons is probably the result of a giant asteroid impact that tilted the Earth. Which one is not yet known but there are clues in magma that aligned with that era's magnetic field. My bet is on the one that blasted the moon into a close orbit.

a couple of days back I woke at 4am & couldn't get back to sleep - so sent an email to a friend & checked the latest weather readings - 22.4C = 72F, feels like 27.2 = 81F, with 98% humidity. Sydney (aka The Big Smoke) gets humid in summer, unlike The Small Smoke where Jennie lives, she just gets dry heat.

FNQ gets heat + humidity & cyclones Emergency flood alerts issued for parts of Far North Queensland in the wake of ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper — as it happened

Sydney's forecast for Sunday was 35C = 95F, but we (aka the harbour area) only reached 28C = 82F, tho western Sydney is always higher. Strangely enough western Sydney (55km = 35 miles west) was about the same as coastal Sydney - One Of Life's Little Mysteries

It's rather horrible, to be honest.

Of late it has been very hot.....to be expected, as it's summer. However a large bushfire a couple of ours' west of here has sent smoke drifting across our way, we are starting to feel as though we are choking. It's after 10 p.m., not too hot at present, but the ever-present smoke can leave as far as we're concerned.

Never mind. Rain is forecast for Tuesday or Wednesday onward which may help put out some of the fires, at least.

Meanwhile up in Far North Queensland - yes, they do capitalise it; they're a different breed up there - a cyclone has brought torrential rain and flooding.

A fairly typical summer in Australia, in fact.

Storm season here, as it is every spring/summer.

We had really good rain in November after a few dry months. The month was set to go out with a bang, storms, thunder, lightning, heavy rain, hail....the lot. What happened yesterday was a lot of sound and fury and very very little rain; in fact, the precipitation which fell could be counted in drops, never mind in mls or inches.

Meanwhile, down on the south coast they have had so much rain that it's flooding.

Well, last Friday, when the road to our village was closed off due to works by Openreach and Anglian Water, we all had to take a long detour through Fustyweed and Elsing, which involved negotiating huge puddles and floods. It was a nightmare, because large, wide vehicles were taking this 'rat run' too and the little country lanes are winding. One edged round a bend only to meet head-on a cattle-feed truck or an oil tanker. We finally arrived at our bungalow in what Norfolk people call 'a roit stairt'!
But yesterday (Sunday) the sun shone, there was only a tiny breeze and NO RAIN!!! Hooray!!! And all the roads had dried off, plus no more Fustyweed - our village road was open again. Phew!

Well I don't know what you mean by "severe polar vortex." The biggest threat of severe cold in North America and Europe comes with a weaker stratospheric polar vortex. Incursions of warmer air from further south can disrupt the vortex and send large masses of arctic air plunging south to give very cold weather. If the vortex is strong it will maintain its circular flow around the pole and keep the cold arctic air confined, giving us mild winters. As I've said before, beware of rambling popular science articles. Not sure how far ahead these sudden stratospheric warming events, giving us very cold weather, can confidently be predicted.
