Title: The most intense recorded heat wave Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Sep 25, 2023 11:53 am Scientists found the most intense heat wave ever recorded — in Antarctica
In March 2022, temperatures near the eastern coast of Antarctica spiked 70 degrees Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius) above normal — making it the most intense recorded heat wave to occur anywhere on Earth, according to a recent study. At the time, researchers on-site were wearing shorts and some even removed their shirts to bask in the (relative) warmth. Scientists elsewhere said such a high in that region of the world was unthinkable. “It was just very apparent that it was a remarkable event,” said Edward Blanchard-Wrigglesworth, author of the study. “We found that temperature anomaly, the 39-degree temperature anomaly, that’s the largest anywhere ever measured anywhere in the world.” https://apple.news/Ae2a-RtG6SoebLxXu1u15Sw Title: Re: The most intense recorded heat wave Post by: mccoy on Nov 01, 2023 12:41 am I cannot confirm the data on Antartica but here where I live, Adriatic sea, 31st of October we had 27°C with a climate similar to North Africa. The heat this year was even more than last year, when it felt like the hottest fall in my life. In a way I'm liking this global warming, it is making me save money on heating. But maybe I'm going to loose money next summer, cranking the aircon all the way up? |
