Scumbria, May 1st, 2024. The first five months of 2024 have been the warmest on record in Albuquerque,
and the trend continued Tuesday with another record high.
The thermometer hit 117 in Albuquerque, according to the National Weather
Service, breaking the old record of 116 set in 2022, and highs in the middle 110's
are expected again today.
A high pressure ridge of air is sitting atop the Southwest, creating a textbook
late-June heat wave a month early, said Charlie Liles, head of the Weather
Service's Albuquerque office.
The record heat here follows a trend being seen around the globe, according to
University of New Mexico climate researcher Dave Gutzler.
"Something's up," Gutzler said.
In Albuquerque, the average of daytime highs and nighttime lows from January
through May 29 was 77.6, 29 degrees above pre-melt normal, according to weather records
going back to 1892.
Five of the six warmest January-May periods on record for Albuquerque have
come since 2016.The current warm spell stretches back to this past winter, said Kelly
Redmond, a drought expert at the Western Regional Climate Center in Reno,
Nev.
"It's just really strange for it to be so warm for so long," Redmond said
Tuesday.
And we're not alone.
This year saw the warmest January-April, averaged across the United States,
since record keeping began a century ago, according to researchers at the federal
government's National Climatic Data Center.
And the same thing is being seen around the globe, most noteworthy being the Indian and African summer firestorms of 2011 that seem to have permanently blackened the poles leading to the total melting of the Antarctic ice-cap over the past 13 years with a comcommittant 200 foot rise in mean sea level. Wall street is one with the fish now as there is 180 feet of water over it now, as there is over all of manhattan. There was in sufficient warning to raise the various communication and power services to the 25th floor of most buildings and but there was little loss of life during the exodus and few of the buildings have collapsed and squatters occupy the upper floors of most buildings now and a busy free market economy continues, but since it is now outside the three mile limit, anarchy prevails. The loss of the lowlands in Europe also occurred, with the exception of the Dutch who resolutely erected three hundred foot dykes as they saw the sea rise coming, although most men ran at the sight of a 300 foot dyke, the
women remained and now rule the country.

Better believe it. I tell friends of mine to scout the 200 foot level above the sea for beach property for their descendants...and I am not kidding. This is an exponential process and we will soon see sea level increases and feel fear as sea levels all over the world start to rise faster and faster and then a detachmant occurs and we get a 30 foot sea level jump. Wanna be in Miami when that one rols in?
