Higher than average temperatures — particularly during the winter months — have combined with a lack of rainfall to produce severe drought conditions across much of the state.
«Despite colder
than average temperatures in any one part of the world, temperatures over the planet as a whole continue the rapid warming trend we've seen over the last 40 years,» said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City, at the press conference.
This year, AER's Director of Seasonal Forecasting, Judah Cohen, is calling for
colder than average temperatures along much of the east coast and into New England.
«Excluding Antarctica, the twentieth - century average temperature among the six regions was about 0.4 °C higher
than the averaged temperatures of the preceding five centuries»
In 2017, 87 % of the Earth's surface was significantly warmer
than the average temperature during 1951 - 1980, 10 % was of a similar temperature, and only 2.5 % was significantly colder.
That heat is dangerous is not a surprise: heatwaves in the last 30 years have risen three times faster
than average temperatures as a whole, and one study has identified 27 different ways in which heat waves can kill.
In some tropical and subtropical regions it is more common to speak of the rainy (or wet, or monsoon) season versus the dry season, as the amount of precipitation may vary more
dramatically than the average temperature.
These are impulsive heating bursts that individually reach incredibly hot temperatures of some 10 million Kelvins or 18 million degrees Fahrenheit - even
greater than the average temperature of the corona - and provide heat to the atmosphere.
While 2015 temperatures were alarming at the time, such temperatures are projected to be cooler
than average temperatures by 2040 at the latest.
Warmer
than average temperatures occurred in the northeastern U.S., eastern Canada, southern Greenland, central and southern Europe, Japan, and western Australia, among other locations.
Warmer
than average temperatures off Baja California and persistent high pressure air patterns blocked most of the precipitation from the strong 2015 - 2016 El Niño from reaching Southern California.
Mullin and Egan said their study could not incorporate the effect of extreme weather on people's preferences, adding that a key message is that scientists should talk more about extreme
weather than average temperatures.
The July temperature mean for buildings with IBF (30 ° C) during the time interval of 10 am to 6 pm were significantly lower (p < 0.05)
than the average temperature mean for control buildings with no IBF (42 °C).
As we expect to have
higher than average temperature across the entire United States this Fall, I have to put my dream of wearing cozy sweaters on hold for a while.
... we focused on what we felt was most scientifically interesting, for example that we recovered an unusual pattern for the 1816 «year without a summer» that indicated a very cold Eurasia and lower
than average temperatures in North America (observations that are independently confirmed by historical accounts), but a warmer than usual Middle East and Labrador (who knew?).
Antarctica experienced
colder than average temperatures during winter (JJA) and west Antarctica and adjacent seas were relatively warm in autumn (MAM) but cold in spring (SON), though it must be remembered that Antarctic temperatures are less certain than elsewhere, due to the lack of observations and problems modelling this isolated and elevated region.
Maximum temperatures during the hottest heat waves have in the last 30 years risen three times faster — especially in crowded cities that are home to more than 10 million —
than average temperatures as a whole.
An extensive area of
lower than average temperatures in the Central Arctic and the Siberian coast, attended by persistent low pressure systems in the same region, led to slightly slower than average sea ice decline through the month.
That is only slightly
warmer than the average temperature for this time of year of 10.3 °C, but well below that average high temperature of 18.2 °C for the same period of time.
On the other hand, the 2017 global temperature remains stubbornly high, well above the trend line (Fig. 1), despite
cooler than average temperature in the tropical Pacific Niño 3.4 region (Fig. 5), which usually provides an indication of the tropical Pacific effect on global temperature.
Eh, a 45 % chance that you will have higher
than average temperatures.
Warmer
than average temperatures were evident over most of the global land surface, except for parts of western Europe, northern Siberia, parts of eastern Asia and much of central Australia stretching north.
Much warmer
than average temperatures were observed across most of the Indian Ocean and large parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Warmer
than average temperatures were evident over most of the global land surfaces, except for parts of the United States and western Europe, northern Siberia, parts of eastern Asia and much of central Australia stretching north.
Some warmer
than average temperatures can be attributed to a global climate phenomenon called the El Niño — Southern Oscillation, or ENSO.
In 2013, the longest warm spell of the year took place between December 14th and December 30th — that's 17 consecutive days which had warmer
than average temperatures.
Likewise, the upcoming report highlights a statement that extreme temperatures in the U.S. are likely to increase «even more»
than average temperatures, but a description of the beneficial effect of fewer severely cold days and fewer cold waves is left hidden in the text.
The article cited authorities pointing to other points of the globe that are experiencing warmer
than average temperatures, in a bid to relativize the cold spell.
That map shows how much higher
than average temperatures have been across the US recently.
In December, central Europe and central and eastern parts of Asia experienced significantly colder
than average temperatures.
