About that global warming?

| No Comments

Google translated from the German Wetter.net:

Camping in the snow? What a midsummer!
Already at Camping thought in the snow and the middle of July? How threatened by wetter.net on Monday may this wish be fulfilled today in the Alpine countries Switzerland and Austria!

The snow line is sagged significantly in these regions overnight. In some places today dancing until morning at 1500 m the snowflakes.

so a deep snow line is extremely rare for mid-July. Clear: It may even snow in June or late August to these heights down, but in July that really is a rather rare spectacle. This summer now holds not only for the fall, but even for the winter.

Do not say we did not warn you. On Monday we had warned of last minute travel this week in the Alpine area.

Not only in Switzerland, snow was falling. In Austria it snows also. The popular Grossglockner High Alpine Road is morning places snow covers. And it is still snowing on. This summer, most people have certainly presented differently. The summer 2016 does what he wants.

A few days ago still peaks between 30 and 35 degrees were measured in Austria and now it's snowing up to 1500 m lower and the middle of July.

Just as a heads up, our Sun is the major player when it comes to our climate and overall temperature. The graph below is the measurement of the radio flux emitted by our Sun as measured from an observatory in Penticton, British Columbia. The higher the value, the more active and more output - warmer. This shows the eleven-year solar cycle very well. The last time we had a solar maximum so weak and flaccid was back in the 1970's - back then, the scientific thought was that we needed to be worried about global cooling.
