Southwestern droughts are, typically, accompanied by
above average temperatures because of factors such as subsidence, a lack of cloud cover, drying soils, and reduced evapotranspiration (e.g., 11 — 13).

Gold went on to explain that she was injured there
because above -
average temperatures made it difficult for athletes to practice on the halfpipe before competition day, when it was topped with fake snow and sprayed with «blue chemicals.»
While generators used more natural gas for electricity generation, overall CO2 emissions from natural gas were down
because of lower gas heating demand this winter when
temperatures were significantly
above the historical
average for the season.
More clouds both drastically reduce energy input from the sun and simply slow release of what energy there is trapped in the lower troposphere, but the long term effect would be a fall in
average temperature because of the significantly reduced input power but the atmosphere's ability to cool is aided by air current circulation whereby the warmer air rises
above those low clouds and that infra - red is more easily re-emitted into space, whereby the low clouds now block that re-emission from hitting the ground again to any significant degree.
Because of the poor quality of data in general and the obligatory smearing of the nether regions, the much lower
average temperature / energy is of the highest northern latitudes and land areas
above 30N have their own erratic warming trend.
It is
because the air has a vertical
temperature lapse rate and a thickness much
above the
average infrared photon path length that the greenhouse effect exists and increases with the concentration of the greenhouse gases: see «The atmospheric greenhouse effect is more subtle than you believe» in La Météorologie (n ° 72 February 2011)
Quite off the mark, surface
temperatures are mostly
average because there is still some ice reflecting sunlight, but sunlight is very intense due to low cloud extent and high sun elevations, and does not show immediately
above the ice, but further up.
I have given a number of links
above to where this issue has been debated before and it is summed up by this: The AGW GMST is incorrect
because it does not allow for this effect, that is: (A + B) ^ 4 > A ^ 4 + B ^ 4; as Mait shows you can have an
average temperature which does not reflect the radiative balance of the Moon and vice-versa.
