"My point is that statistical cooling outliers garner no media attention" In 2018, a remarkable 29 countries plus Antarctica set individual records for the hottest year ever. Meanwhile, no country saw a record cold year. Message 32001354 - 30 January 2019 So far 2019 has set 33 records for heat, but none for cold Blue areas show colder-than-average temperatures. Red areas are hotter than average.Image from Climate Reanalyzer (https://ClimateReanalyzer.org), Climate Change Institute, University of Maine, USA By Sam Wong North America is in the grip of a polar vortex, bringing freezing weather from North Dakota to Ohio. The cold snap has prompted predictably icy comments from climate change deniers. But the global picture tells a different story. So far, no weather stations have recorded all-time cold records in 2019 – which is unprecedented at this stage of the year, according to weather records compiler Maximiliano Herrera. In contrast, 33 stations in the southern hemisphere have recorded all-time highs. Among them were Noona in New South Wales, where the temperature at night remained above 35.9°C on 17 January – the hottest night in Australia’s history. Reunion and Christmas Island also experienced all-time hottest temperatures. Record high temperatures in 2019 Kulgera (Australia) max. 47 Griffith (Australia) max. 46.4 Albury (Australia) max. 45.3 Woolbrook (Australia) max. 38.7 Cooma (Australia) max. 39.5 Cootamundra (Australia) max. 43.6 Eucla (Australia) max. 48.6 Christmas Island Aero (Australia) max. 31.6 Tarcoola (Australia) max. 49.1 Ceduna (Australia) max. 48.6 Cleve (Australia) max. 46.7 Adelaide (Australia) max. 47.7 Adelaide Airport (Australia) max. 45.8 Port Lincoln Airport (Australia) max. 48.3 Port Augusta (Australia) max. 49.5 Clare (Australia) max. 44.9 Snowtown (Australia) max. 47.3 Parafield (Australia) max. 47.7 Edinburgh (Australia) max. 47.5 Roseworthy (Australia) max. 48.3 Nuriootpa (Australia) max. 46 Kuitpo (Australia) max. 44 Strathalbyn (Australia) max. 46.7 Deniliquin (Australia) max. 47.2 Swan Hill (Australia) max. 47.5 Kerang (Australia) max. 47 Kyabram (Australia) max. 47.1 Sale (Australia) max. 45.5 Young (Australia) max. 43.5 Pointe des Trois-Bassins (Reunion Islands, France) max. 37 Cilaos (Reunion Islands, France) max. 31.2 Gobabis (Namibia) max. 41.7 Santiago (Chile) max. 38.3 Santiago Airport (Chile) max. 39.3 Record low temperatures in 2019 None Mathematical models predict that in a stable climate, the number of hot and cold records should be equal, and new records occur less frequently over time. In 2018, 430 stations worldwide saw all-time high temperatures and 40 saw all-time lows. Despite what many in the US are experiencing now, this ratio is as clear a sign as any that the planet is getting hotter. newscientist.com
