Excellent weather forecasting website

Sorry Stephen, I find that all a bit hard to believe. Sounds very dubious to me.

Stephen,
I saw that horison program, very enlightening.
Due to the lack of contrails after 9/11, the days that all flights were grounded, the nights were 1 full degree colder and the days were 1 full degree hotter in the US, it instantly undid itself when flights resumed.

I remember the global dimming/warming sections also, it concluded that the first world caused the droughts in northern Africa during the 80s which caused the famines back then

As for receint weather, I can remember spells in the 90s where there were months on end where it was nothing but cloud, in fact the entire mid 80s also seemed like this, and I remember a patch around 2001-2002 that was like this also. I wouldn't look to much into the last 6 months as meaning anything special.

well dave it may not make the last 6 months very special, but it is a longer term thing. it could mean in the future even more cloudy nights even if that is not what we want to hear. there will be a point that it will probably start to become runaway. short terms extremes will happen. what is more worrying though is it's long term effects on the planet as well as people health.

It also concluded that the point of no return is only about 20-25 years away,
and that this part of the world will either become like Southern Spain or northern Finland, personally, I'd hope for the Spain option.
In 100 years time, average temp will be a full 10 degrees higher then now.

I posted this link to APOD a good while back worth checking out again.

:shock:

I remember a patch around 2001-2002 that was like this also.

I remember that - it was one of the wettest Irish summers on record in 2002. Dee and I went to Spain for the month of June in 2002. The lowest temperature recorded in the 29 days we were there was 29 degrees (in Alcala de Henares where we stayed, near Madrid), while it only rained on 1 day for June (our second last day there), and the hotest temperature was 45 degrees.

In Ireland, highest temperature of all that summer was 22 degrees, while July had rain akin to April.

I believe that this world is definitely acting up!
