A cold Winter for Europe??

[Don M.]

NOAA is tracking the global temperatures, and 2015 is setting up to be the warmest year on record...with one Exception. The ocean temperature in the North Atlantic is substantially cooler than normal, and this is shutting down the ocean currents that bring milder air to Europe. This is being attributed to the increased melting of ice on Greenland, and the major infusion of cold fresh water into the area below Greenland and Iceland. With the West to East flow of the jet stream, which brings warmer ocean air over Europe, this could very well mean that this air flow will be substantially cooler than normal.

Our European friends might want to keep their Winter coats handy this coming year.

Hi Don M.

Yes, living in North Wales we shall have to look out for that.
I am right now digging out my Long Johns and Thermals.
Even my Wife's pussy is getting ready for the cold.

I mean, I already HATE the winter, without being told this! layful:

Cheers!

I'll believe it when I see it.

The combination of el Nino and the diverted jetstream is likely to produce all sorts of unusual weather, and it's a good forecaster who thinks they can predict it.
