I guess that's as good a title for this thread as any. Are any other parts of the world having the constant wild variations in temperature as we are having? This morning, my weather app said it was 29 degrees (that's Fahrenheit!), going up to the 50's later in the day. Then it predicted temperatures around 80 later in the week.

Is this happening anywhere else?

I'm not from this area but currently in midwest, and it's been extreme like you mentioned.

yes it is Sunny...it's happening here..

Last week we were really hot for the time of year..temps around 70... 2 days ago, I had to have the heating on, the temps had dropped to just 3 deg....

Today... it was glorious sunny day.. and yes everyone know that in the uk the weeather is unpredicatble.. but that usually means... it changes from morning to afternoon... not literally 10 minutes from sun to overcast ... and then back to sun, every 10 minutes for all afternoon...

I took pictures.. these were all taken within 30 minutes... and all literally within yards of each other

I asked Gemini: Why are we having such an odd spring breakup?

Gemini: This year's odd spring breakup is primarily caused by a highly unstable polar vortex that has broken into loops, creating "weather whiplash" with rapid swings between extreme cold and sudden, intense warming. A disrupted jet stream is driving these dramatic shifts, often trapping freezing conditions in some regions while causing premature melting elsewhere.
 
IIn general what I’ve noticed over several months, is that our weather on the Texas coast is not getting the ‘whiplash' of hot and cold like interior areas.
It’s more uniform here and closer to what is ’normal’, whatever that is anymore...

Like the recent summer heat - - used to be hotter in the South …. now we are cooler than the NE during summer months.
 
Well Sunny, we're both considered as living in the Mid Atlantic so our weather patterns are likely similar. Last week, our temperatures here in N.J. were near 90 degrees. Yesterday and today we had freeze warnings. I saw on the news that somewhere (may have been Vermont) it was 76 degrees on Saturday and it snowed on Sunday. I'll be interested to read about what our members in different parts of the country and other countries are experiencing.
 
How funny; I just posted something about this in a different thread. The weather here in ND has been very odd, too: Today's high is supposed to be 87 (31 C), although I'll believe that when I see (er, feel) it. Then we have snow in the forecast for the end of the week. Strange!

The International Space Station (ISS) regularly monitors space debris to avoid collisions, as it operates in low Earth orbit where millions of pieces of debris exist.

In 2025, space debris led to an orbital emergency, highlighting the increasing risks associated with this issue.

Do you have any links to articles describing which scientists are saying these things and how they're determining this?

Only videos. There's a handful of astrophysics and cosmology channels I follow on YouTube:

Ray's Astrophotography
Stephen Burns
MIT Cosmology
and NASA, of course

But there's a bunch.

Just as earth's moon effects ocean tides and its sun effects its surface, which effects climate, comets, meteors, and traveling debris moving around in our neighborhood effect our planet in various ways.

Space rocks called Sun Grazers very recently entered our sun's plasma, and one of them was extremely large (purported debris from the Great Comet of 1888, which has re-entered our neighborhood several times). That one caused massive solar flares, and solar flares are known to effect weather.

Scientists say debris from ATLAS/3I are also causing atmospheric changes.
 
April is known as the cruelest month. Here in NJ we can see a few seasons in one day.

I recall many years ago, on a June 1st day, I awoke to gorgeous weather. Thought I'd take a swim in our pool. Well, suddenly around 11 AM, the weather changed drastically. Temps dropped rapidly, winds began gust ferociously, leaves were being torn off of trees, and then it began snowing. I was furious and my mother told me to calm down. Then, about an hour later all ceased and it was suddenly warming up again to June weather.

So, when you hear about NJ having 4 seasons in one day, folks are not kidding.

Thanks! I'm not a big video watcher, I'd rather read something.

The effects generated by the sun and the moon have pretty much been fairly consistent over the last few millennium so although they do affect the climate for me they don't point to the changes we've been seeing over the last dozen or so decades.

I'd be interested in seeing studies that can show that meteors, comets and various debris have widespread weather consequences. I can't see how things that are so small and relatively short lived can affect our climate. However the solar flares generated by comet debris entering the sun's atmosphere could definitely do that.

I wonder what it was like "down the shore," Lew. 😄
