@WangChung you're unlikely to get any serious argument there. After all, climate is nothing more than the long term average of weather over, say, a minimum period of 30 years.
what climate analysis does is smooth out the clutter and the noise coming from the weather so that longer term trends can be more easily seen.
what we expect to happen with anthropogenic climate change is mostly happening.
the world's leading science and meteorological agencies all found that February just gone was the warmest February in 175 years of global record keeping.. these agencies included NOAA, NASA, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and the European Copernicus Climate Change Service.
what happens in a warming global trend for surface temperatures is there tends to be more heat records broken than cold records.
and that's what was found for February, according to extreme weather record keeper and data analyst Maximiliano Herrera.
so WanhChung, if life is any different, it could be these record high tempratures, such as the 49.9 C at Carnarvon on February 18.
i guess you, Jack and others don't understand this because you choose not to and prefer to make noise.
here are some details from Herrera about February temperatures.
-Thirty-three monthly national/territorial heat records beaten or tied as of the end of February. In addition to the one all-time national/territorial record set so far in 2024, 33 nations or territories have set monthly all-time heat records in 2024, for a total of 34 such records:
-One monthly national/territorial cold record beaten or tied as of the end of February. China set an all-time cold record for the month of February.
-Hemispherical and continental temperature records in 2024– Highest minimum temperature ever recorded in January in Asia: 28.5°C (83.3°F) at Bangkok Klong Thoey, Thailand, Jan. 14.
-Highest minimum temperature ever recorded in February in Asia: 29.1°C (84.1°F) at Diego Garcia (British Indian Territories), Feb. 18.
According tto GuinessWorldRecords.com, Maximiliano Herrera is a professional climatologist and weather historian who specializes in climatic statistics and extreme weather, who founded and maintains the "Extreme Temperatures Around the World" website. As an independent researcher, he has been analysing worldwide metadata and keeping track of weather records since 1992. Additionally, Max is a long-time collaborator with community-driven meteorology service Weather Underground owned by The Weather Company.
