World temperatures generally static

Still riding off that last mini-el-nino.  The Continental US is still low, but has hooked up a bit for the season, as expected.  Must be trumpypants getting everybody hot.  :)

The Arctic has gone down when it should be rising.  The ice has suddenly stopped melting, and is cutting into the main curve.  We'll see how that goes.

I am expecting a general fall in world temps after the Pacific reversal.  The Indian Ocean reversal should be doing something, but I can't see it.  Maybe it stopping the world temps from diving.  Who knows?

Cottage Report, June 5, 2020

We are having a beautiful Mediterranean day.  Warm, soft breezes, lots of sun.  The dragonflies are patrolling the skies.

The cold air is coming tonight, with rain.  I went fishing in the nice weather and didn't get anything.  For some reason, the falcons aren't here this year.

ps.  I officially declare fishing dead until bass season at the end of the month.  My super-fisher neighbour is skunked again.

Once again, cold air battles warm

Wow, this is going to be our summer.  Warm air up, cold air down.  One day we have a heat wave, and tons of warmie articles, and the next we freeze, with the warmie press silent.

I have been chastised that I'm not doing much.  But I enjoy the warm days at the cottage, and build a fire in the evening.  The last 20 years we never had a fire to keep warm, and now I'm using up all the firewood.

All my charts are delayed due to covidity.  No physics to bring out from obscurity.

Now, if you want to see what happens when a geophysicist has to keep the party line on warming, read this.  It doesn't make any sense, poor guy, but the PR department needs stuff to keep the rich students pouring in to make the New American Elite.  Working poor need not apply.

ps.  and some UK fun.
