The importance of winter heatwaves

 Poor warmies, they only have winter heatwaves to go on about.  Problem is that nobody has ever worried about that sort of thing, until now.


They had a short spell from the usual 80 below, to 30 below.  Soon gone.


Everybody loves a winter heatwave, and they are gone in a flash.

My hypotheses, which can only be tested by experiments, is that the equatorial belts of the oceans are turning cold.  That is caused by a big switch from a northern feed to a southern one.  All that southern cold water is being sucked up, leaving the S. Hemi. with no heat energy for ocean breezes.



When you see that clear air, it is just local Sun heat, like a desert.  High in the day, low at night.

Continuing the impacts to the hypothesis, we have less energy for ocean breezes.  As long as the groupthinkers can choose their measurements, they will go to peak day temperatures.  This gives good news stories.

However, the lack of ocean temperature moderation means a heck of a winter, as the ice cycle comes in.  Good for us that peak day temperatures are always around, but look out for heating degree days.
