Hot and Cold Topic

[Sunny]

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?

It’s been a bumpy April in Central New York.

80s last week, snow yesterday.

I thought it might be me and an early Easter but the local weather prognosticators said that this is one of the coldest Aprils in many years.

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

In Kansas it's in the 80s and 90s during the day and dips to 30s and 40s at night.

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.

This week the lows will be a little warmer.

 

[MountainRa]

True for upstate S.C. of course, as soon as I stored my winter clothes away, the temperature dropped back down for several days.
We desperately need some rain too.

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.

Mountain area in western US and yes, this entire winter has been unusually mild. We had snow, 26F overnight, then in the high 60's later that day. It has been very strange.

 

[Naturally]

Over the last several weeks, I've had to use both AC and heat depending on the time of day or night.
I recall having to do that some years over a long period of time but most years are either one or the other once transitioned.

Usual beautiful mid autumn weather here - daily maximums in the 20's Celsius.

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