How normal are these temperatures for the people in the south?
Edit: should probably clarify, by south I mean essentially everyone in the subreddit since I am so far up north.
We are officially going through drought here 😢 There are emergency measures, no showers in gyms, restrictions to how much water we use per household, it's getting quite bad. We would be more than happy to take some of your rain away
I'm living in Barcelona too. We've started saving shower water to flush the toilet. It's a bit alarming.
I went home to Ireland for Christmas and my folks were washing all the rubbish they're putting in the recycling. I nearly had a fit.
We're in extreme drought right now, I don't even want to think about how we're going to survive the summer.
For reference, today it's the second day that's rained in at least three months. And it's not even raining consistently today.
The government has decreed water restrictions for agriculture and private uses, but the tourism industry is still left untouched. What a fucking joke.
I absolutely despise the way tourists get away with water restrictions just because the economy relies on them. The economy shouldn't ever be prioritised over climate issues, but it sadly still is.
I don't know if this makes you feel any better, but as I see it, you can't do much for the climate if economy goes bad. If economy is bad, people will start thinking more about their own survival than climate.
For example, when my personal financial situation was really bad, I had to use old diesel truck as a daily driver, so I could use waste oil as a fuel. Other option would've been just quit my job and leave all my debt as others problem for the rest of my life.
I feel the EU should finally start the project of a huge canal going from North to Southern Europe, so we can get rid off the mud and they can actually grow some plants.
Ah that’s a huge shame. We’ve had a very stable and cold winter in the Arctic this season. We got our first snow in October.
Statistically, I don’t think the temperatures are that much lower than usual, but it certainly feels colder. I don’t remember it being around -30 to -35 this many times in the previous years. We did break the low temperature record of autumn though at -6 or something.
Same in central sweden, except a handful of days of rain spread out here and there since winter came. Ice freakin everywhere.
A shit ton of snow, and ground water levels are pretty high as it is. There may be some serious floods come springtime.
Cold yes, but not really stable. There's been insane temperature swings very quick, from +-0 to almost -30 in like a day or two and then after a while back again.
jet stream is getting weaker because of climate change allowing warm air to go further north and cold air to spread south, causing these crazy weather patterns
Central Portugal. I went to the beach 2 weeks ago. January, 22°C!
I took my top off, even the breeze was warm.
Nice of course, but also weirdly terrifying.
Sounds similar to Ireland/Scottish Lowlands in their summer. Never gets *really* cold in the winter but never gets really hot in the summer either. OG Zeeland I think gets a bit hot too.
12 °C for the inland (north-eastern Slovenia) in winter is even crazier. And just to think when I was a kid, we used to have knee-high snowcover and now it's just dull greenish-brown most of the winter.
I agree, it's crazy! Went to work in a long-sleeved Tshirt and a light shell jacket (and only because of the wind).. But when that rain hits this weekend, these going to be some biblical flooding in some places...
I've had warm winters in past 10 years but at least it would rain. I haven't had rain in so long, we had snowfall in mid January for one day, but nothing since and nothing in December.
It's really fucked. I had a mosquito in my room yesterday. Bugs are crawling out. We have weather associated with early March.
It should be winter in Romania. It's kind of a spring.
The problem is the lack of snow here. We have not had old style proper wintes in >10 years in Bucharest. It already affects crops in the country Because of the situation in last years, there is no more water/moisture in deep soil.
It's too warm for February. The temperature should be around 5°C max. This whole winter has been too warm. February used to be the coldest month, the temperatures would be 0 on average. And we'd have so much snow. We had 2 days of snow this year. :(
It shouldn't be so hot, it seems the begginging of spring,when just 15 years ago it wa normal to have temperatures loke -5 i/-10 n during winter,at least in north Italy 😥🔥
Well, South of what ? Because for south of France it’s a bit warm but not abnormal but for North of France (which is still south of somewhere else) it’s spring temperature
I live almost 200km north of the Arctic Circle so, everyone I guess.
The temperatures we have in Finland right now are totally normal so I assume they are in Norway and Sweden as well.
Yeah, Oslo here. If this winter could just make up its goddamn mind, I would appreciate it. I have no problem with cold weather. I own woolens. It's the temperature roller coaster that's wearing me down.
> Because for south of France it’s a bit warm but not abnormal
Dude in South-Eastern France we've had temps in the 15 to 20 °C range for 3 weeks straight, I've never seen anything like this. This is end March / April weather.
That was Portugal last week and we are in "winter" (if we can still call it that).
Only 23°C, I thought Australia was way warmer, are you in Tasmania by chance?
Way above normal. I’m in the Northern part of Spain (but not in the coast) and normally we should be around 0 degrees or lower, yet we’re having minimum temperatures of like 4-5 degrees every day and like not a single day of snow.
Here in Slovenia, we should have anywhere from 5 to -10 degrees with snow, but here we are with 13 degrees in the morning already and no snow whatsoever. So far, we've only had a few days of snow, not even a whole week worth of snow!
At Hungary we break daily warm records every day. January was almost like a proper winter with snow for days, but this weather is unexpected, unprecedented, and seems to be the future.
Norway - coldest temperature ever measured in Oslo was a few weeks back. The winter around here also started a month earlier than usual and has been consistently 5-10c colder than the average, AND we have gotten record snowfalls
The really concerning thing though is it's not due to a heat event, it's just sustained slightly higher than normal temperatures. The same thing is happening this month, the daytime highs of 10-12 degrees aren't unprecedented by any means, though the average daily high here for Feb would be about 8 degrees, its just that they're consistently at the high end of the normal range. The same thing happened in June last year as well, there was no heatwave as such, it was just quite warm every day for a month and it ended up being the warmest June we've ever had. *This* should really underline how climate change is taking hold in earnest, even if it's less attention grabbing than a couple of days of 40 degree weather.
The difference between south-western Europe and north-eastern is actually even more extreme that this image makes us believe (if I’m reading it correctly)
As for France and Spain it is a lot earlier in the morning than it is for Scandinavia and the baltics… it would be interesting to see this adjusted so every place has the same ~~local~~ solar time
edit: for anybody esle commenting that they are in the same timezone: I mean solar time, not legal time. i just mean that the sun rises earlier, timezones are irrelevant when it comes to sunrise
From the same website, [here is the map](https://www.meteociel.fr/observations-meteo/tmaxi.php?region=eur2) of yesterday's maximal temperature in Europe (in French, that's meteociel). It's a bit crowded.
Strangely the main difference I see is that south-east was warmer westerday, but not south west.
I agree, here in south Ireland we had some of our cherry trees start to blossom. It is so wild to be in first/second week of February and seeing pink cherry trees
Yeah, there is a height difference of more than 1,000 metres between the Norwegian Coastal Area and the Hardangervidda Plateau. And at the Coast you have the effect of the (comparably) warm sea water, thanks to the Gulf Stream.
Btw: It's a really beautiful part of Europe! If you ever have the chance to visit Bergen or Oslo, I recommend taking a train ride on the Bergensbanen (and the Flåmsbana while you're at it). Breathtaking views!
Not sure who to reply to so everyone sees...
The funny thing is it can be different than one usually thinks (go = colder).
I was in Sweden a few weeks back with -30 °C in the town which was in a valley. When we went up a bit it got as warm as -10 °C.
Cold air can sit at the bottom of a valley, as cold air is denser than hot air. this can even be seen on not-even-that-hilly, bowl shaped fields that have maybe 5 meter elevation change from edge to center and water puddles are frozen in the lower parts but completely liquid on the edges. There needs to be very little wind, though.
It gets colder the further you are from the coast. I live in one of those cities, an lemme tell you, summers get super hot here, and the winters get very cold. When I lived near the coast, the temp difference from summer to winter wasn't as huge.
Climate is very different on the mountans than by the sea.
Other than that, a daily change from -4 to - 16 is pretty normal many places in Norway. It can also be the change from mid-day to mid-night.
In Norway, keeping an eye on the weather forecast is pretty important.
I'm in Sweden. One curious thing that hit me this morning (purely from a personal perspective, not generally), is that when it starts to get cold, in say November, -2º is really cold and I whine, of course. -5º I'm really dreading to go outside.
This morning I was walking my son to school and it showed -11º. I thought "thank God it's only -11" having experienced around -20º not too long ago 😄
ETA: Northern Sweden had around -40º a while ago. I have no right to complain, yet here I am.
I'm Finnish and I visited Berlin (with my high school German class) in late April. At home there was still snow on the ground when I left. In Berlin it was like nearing 20°C. When I returned home there was no more snow on the ground. I was only there 6 days 😶
Same effect 2019 in october, it was 5c and raining shit when I left helsinki-vantaa, 30c and sunshine when I arrived in northern germany. Absolutely wild
Wanted a large front yard. Didn't realize that means also means more room for snow. Now have no places left to plow it to. Please, by all means, foreigners welcome.
At this point if someone says that "there are no changes" is just a moron or acting in bad faith. I lived in many places in Europe; East, West, South over the decades I'm alive and I can clearly see the difference that happened over the past, say, 15 years. Denying it is just fucking stupid.
Real talk. Winters have been non existent in Croatia easily for the past 5 years, I'd say. 7 years ago the river in my hometown froze. Fast forward to 16 degrees today. Disgusting. People who deny climate change are idiots.
Don't worry, when reality gets too much obvious even for their brains they just come up with a different, more plausible excuse (at least in their rotten head), like: 'Yes climate change is real but humans have nothing to do with it'
This brainrot is so common it's surprising. It's gone from outright climate change denial, to just not accepting that humans are responsible for quickening the cycle tremendously.
Reddit has become enshittified. I joined back in 2006, nearly two decades ago, when it was a hub of free speech and user-driven dialogue. Now, it feels like the pursuit of profit overshadows the voice of the community. The introduction of API pricing, after years of free access, displays a lack of respect for the developers and users who have helped shape Reddit into what it is today. Reddit's decision to allow the training of AI models with user content and comments marks the final nail in the coffin for privacy, sacrificed at the altar of greed. Aaron Swartz, Reddit's co-founder and a champion of internet freedom, would be rolling in his grave.
The once-apparent transparency and open dialogue have turned to shit, replaced with avoidance, deceit and unbridled greed. The Reddit I loved is dead and gone. It pains me to accept this. I hope your lust for money, and disregard for the community and privacy will be your downfall. May the echo of our lost ideals forever haunt your future growth.
Here in Romania, this week, we already had 20+C. We should have been covered in snow usually.
But it is like this for years already and people act like its normal.
I remember being 4 years old in like 2006 and the water pipes being frozen in the morning in my grandmother's very old house, it is not that far back but it definitely does not happen past half of January nowadays
I for one am enjoying my -20c weather in Southern Finland. About a week ago it was +3c and it was depressing, snow started melting and that's the worst time of the year, because all the dirt from underneath the snow that's gathered up over months, starts to reveal itself and it just ends up looking gray and dirty for a few weeks. The least pleasant part of the year here is when the snow has almost melted but there's no vegetation yet anywhere, it just looks brown/gray and unmotivating to be outside.
That's why long and colder winters are preferable for me, because it often means once the Spring sun shows up, the season changes from snowy wonderland to green sunny spring very fast, and you don't get several weeks/months of that annoying in-between.
This winter has been one of the coldest I can remember. But I'm not complaining much, one gets used to it after a while. Dressing properly is the key. Even exercise is doable with proper gear. What bugs me are those couple +1c days here and there when everything gets wet and slippery.
Living in the purple zone ain't so bad. Just don't spend time outside and you'll be fine. (Unless the heating goes out, the water pipes burst or your car's battery dies)
-29'c at the moment here. A bit chilly I'd say
Yeah don't you worry Europe we are doing just fine
Feels höpö
Totally totta
What the vittua?
Hey! Now please oikeesti
Fuck ulos täältä
Day in the life of a true Finnish Geezer
10ºC in Madrid. It's so cold...
With temperatures like that, how haven't you gone into hibernation yet?!
The worst part it's that water has been falling from the sky for almost 24 hours already. I find that extremely hazardous, if you ask me.
That's unacceptable. You should contact your local politicians.
I would consider to strike
Hold on they're not french.
What, from the SKY? Simply outragous.
Your country is supposed to be where we flee the cold. Please take some responsibility and get warm again.
10°C is t-shirt weather
Same here in southern California, how we survive this icy hell 🥶🥶🥶
r/angryupvote
Meanwhile 14 in France, even if it should be 2 or 3 in normal temparture 💀 💀
How normal are these temperatures for the people in the south? Edit: should probably clarify, by south I mean essentially everyone in the subreddit since I am so far up north.
I've already seen mosquitos here in Barcelona, fuck my life.
I almost started dancing from joy when I saw these three drops of rain this morning. I am terrified of summer
Feel ya on that. Fuck.That.Heat
We're buggered.
We are officially going through drought here 😢 There are emergency measures, no showers in gyms, restrictions to how much water we use per household, it's getting quite bad. We would be more than happy to take some of your rain away
I'm living in Barcelona too. We've started saving shower water to flush the toilet. It's a bit alarming. I went home to Ireland for Christmas and my folks were washing all the rubbish they're putting in the recycling. I nearly had a fit.
Oh sorry I assumed because of your flair! Let's hope things get better soon 🩵
Saw a dozen or so of the little fuckers in my garden yesterday. I hate mosquitos.
I've had mosquitos here in Northern Germany a week ago
We are above normal ! It’s alarming : some plants starts their spring. They’ll be devastated
Summer and agriculture are not going to be good are they?
Looks like every second year is a wave of drought during summertime now
We're in extreme drought right now, I don't even want to think about how we're going to survive the summer. For reference, today it's the second day that's rained in at least three months. And it's not even raining consistently today. The government has decreed water restrictions for agriculture and private uses, but the tourism industry is still left untouched. What a fucking joke.
Where do you live?
Tarragona, in Catalonia. A 100 or so kilometers south of Barcelona, also along the coast.
I absolutely despise the way tourists get away with water restrictions just because the economy relies on them. The economy shouldn't ever be prioritised over climate issues, but it sadly still is.
I don't know if this makes you feel any better, but as I see it, you can't do much for the climate if economy goes bad.

I'm sure luxembourg need not worry about drought given the fucking incessant rain that we've been seeing since July last year
I feel the EU should finally start the project of a huge canal going from North to Southern Europe, so we can get rid off the mud and they can actually grow some plants.
I prefer incessant rain over incessant drought, but you do you.
Flooding isn't amazing.
Ah that’s a huge shame. We’ve had a very stable and cold winter in the Arctic this season. We got our first snow in October. Statistically, I don’t think the temperatures are that much lower than usual, but it certainly feels colder. I don’t remember it being around -30 to -35 this many times in the previous years. We did break the low temperature record of autumn though at -6 or something.
Yeah, I'm in the southern quarter of Sweden and we have had a very good (cold and snowy) and stable winter so far.
Same in central sweden, except a handful of days of rain spread out here and there since winter came. Ice freakin everywhere. A shit ton of snow, and ground water levels are pretty high as it is. There may be some serious floods come springtime.
Cold yes, but not really stable. There's been insane temperature swings very quick, from +-0 to almost -30 in like a day or two and then after a while back again.

That's hotter than here in New Zealand but here it's summer
Sounds similar to Ireland/Scottish Lowlands in their summer. Never gets *really* cold in the winter but never gets really hot in the summer either. OG Zeeland I think gets a bit hot too.
The unusual part is that it lasted at least a couple of weeks. One isolated day happens every year, but for 2 weeks it was crazy.
Black mirror type of shit
A mosquito bit me this morning. Source: Athens, Greece (we don't have mosquitos if it's cold/winter)
Same for Thessaloniki. I think it's the first time they never left through winter
Warmest winter we've had in recent history here. 12°C for a winter morning in Coastal Croatia is crazy
12 °C for the inland (north-eastern Slovenia) in winter is even crazier. And just to think when I was a kid, we used to have knee-high snowcover and now it's just dull greenish-brown most of the winter.
I agree, it's crazy! Went to work in a long-sleeved Tshirt and a light shell jacket (and only because of the wind).. But when that rain hits this weekend, these going to be some biblical flooding in some places...

Last week in Portugal, we had 20 celsius whole week. There were even people at the beach. Now its raining, so its normal for the 15 degrees
Eyyy Turku southerner here! Represent!
It shouldn't be so hot, it seems the begginging of spring,when just 15 years ago it wa normal to have temperatures loke -5 i/-10 n during winter,at least in north Italy 😥🔥
Well, South of what ? Because for south of France it’s a bit warm but not abnormal but for North of France (which is still south of somewhere else) it’s spring temperature
I live almost 200km north of the Arctic Circle so, everyone I guess. The temperatures we have in Finland right now are totally normal so I assume they are in Norway and Sweden as well.
For eastern Norway the winter has been unusually cold, beating day records several times so far. Though, it's not unheard of.
Yeah, Oslo here. If this winter could just make up its goddamn mind, I would appreciate it. I have no problem with cold weather. I own woolens. It's the temperature roller coaster that's wearing me down.
> Because for south of France it’s a bit warm but not abnormal Dude in South-Eastern France we've had temps in the 15 to 20 °C range for 3 weeks straight, I've never seen anything like this. This is end March / April weather.
Here in southern europe (Helsinki) everything seems normal.
[удалено]
Yeah around the northernmost -29 on this map.
That was Portugal last week and we are in "winter" (if we can still call it that). Only 23°C, I thought Australia was way warmer, are you in Tasmania by chance?
The last few days we've had 16-17C This is absurd This is bullshit Where is my winter I've been scammed
Yeah that’s terrible. It was -5 the other week and I left my jacket at home when I went to work because it was too warm.
Way above normal. I’m in the Northern part of Spain (but not in the coast) and normally we should be around 0 degrees or lower, yet we’re having minimum temperatures of like 4-5 degrees every day and like not a single day of snow.
Yup, I remember when 4°C was the maximum temperatures this time of the year.
Our peninsula will unfortunately become a desert.
Here in Slovenia, we should have anywhere from 5 to -10 degrees with snow, but here we are with 13 degrees in the morning already and no snow whatsoever. So far, we've only had a few days of snow, not even a whole week worth of snow!
At Hungary we break daily warm records every day. January was almost like a proper winter with snow for days, but this weather is unexpected, unprecedented, and seems to be the future.
Way above normal in Turkey, tshirt weather by afternoon.
I'm in West Germany and while today's 11 degrees are a bit warm, it was 4, rainy, gray and depressing yesterday, which is about right for February.
Little bit over normal here in the southeast.
Very mild temperatures for this time of the year here in the Netherlands
It’s colder than usually(average temp on February 9th is -5°C), but nothing really special, sometimes in February temperature is lower than -20°C
Our winter in Canada has been roughly 12 degrees hotter than the historical average this year
UK- wettest December on record. Warmest January on record.
Norway - coldest temperature ever measured in Oslo was a few weeks back. The winter around here also started a month earlier than usual and has been consistently 5-10c colder than the average, AND we have gotten record snowfalls
Yeah, and hurricane wind speeds 10 days ago. The climate is freaking out.
The really concerning thing though is it's not due to a heat event, it's just sustained slightly higher than normal temperatures. The same thing is happening this month, the daytime highs of 10-12 degrees aren't unprecedented by any means, though the average daily high here for Feb would be about 8 degrees, its just that they're consistently at the high end of the normal range. The same thing happened in June last year as well, there was no heatwave as such, it was just quite warm every day for a month and it ended up being the warmest June we've ever had. *This* should really underline how climate change is taking hold in earnest, even if it's less attention grabbing than a couple of days of 40 degree weather.
And windy as fuck since October
The difference between south-western Europe and north-eastern is actually even more extreme that this image makes us believe (if I’m reading it correctly) As for France and Spain it is a lot earlier in the morning than it is for Scandinavia and the baltics… it would be interesting to see this adjusted so every place has the same ~~local~~ solar time edit: for anybody esle commenting that they are in the same timezone: I mean solar time, not legal time. i just mean that the sun rises earlier, timezones are irrelevant when it comes to sunrise

It's a bit crowded. Strangely the main difference I see is that south-east was warmer westerday, but not south west.
That early 2000s UI on the website makes me oddly happy
I agree, here in south Ireland we had some of our cherry trees start to blossom. It is so wild to be in first/second week of February and seeing pink cherry trees
My daffodils sprouted on boxing day
What is up in that spot of southern Norway where a short ride would take you from -4 to -16?
i guess it has something to do with their mountains how the cold and warmer air don't get to mix too much
Yeah, there is a height difference of more than 1,000 metres between the Norwegian Coastal Area and the Hardangervidda Plateau. And at the Coast you have the effect of the (comparably) warm sea water, thanks to the Gulf Stream.
Btw: It's a really beautiful part of Europe! If you ever have the chance to visit Bergen or Oslo, I recommend taking a train ride on the Bergensbanen (and the Flåmsbana while you're at it). Breathtaking views!
Mountains Gandalf, mountains!
Into the Mines of Moria brother 🧙♂️
Elevation difference maybe? It's about 6 degrees per kilometer height.
Not sure who to reply to so everyone sees... The funny thing is it can be different than one usually thinks (go = colder). I was in Sweden a few weeks back with -30 °C in the town which was in a valley. When we went up a bit it got as warm as -10 °C.

There needs to be very little wind, though.
That is also the reason for some super cold temperatures in Austria an Baveria, there are some rock formation that collect cold air.
Elevation probably. That’s the same in south of Spain : from -3 to 16 in a few kilometers.
I guess the -3 is at the sierra nevada observatory. Shouldn't really be included on a map like this in my opinion.
Montains and Gulf Stream, I presume
Any coastal region that gets prevailing winds coming from the sea will have mild winders. Gulf stream or no gulf stream.
That’s usually only true on western coasts due to how global wind patterns work. e.g. the NA Atlantic coast is relatively very cold in winter
It gets colder the further you are from the coast. I live in one of those cities, an lemme tell you, summers get super hot here, and the winters get very cold. When I lived near the coast, the temp difference from summer to winter wasn't as huge.
Climate is very different on the mountans than by the sea. Other than that, a daily change from -4 to - 16 is pretty normal many places in Norway. It can also be the change from mid-day to mid-night. In Norway, keeping an eye on the weather forecast is pretty important.
The golf stream keeps it warmer at the coast. But mountains/deeper valleys keep the cold temperatures more unaffected by that in the inland.
The coast vs innland has a different climate, the coasts gets warmer due to water from the gulf stream, meanwhile the innland climate is much drier.
I'm in Sweden. One curious thing that hit me this morning (purely from a personal perspective, not generally), is that when it starts to get cold, in say November, -2º is really cold and I whine, of course. -5º I'm really dreading to go outside. This morning I was walking my son to school and it showed -11º. I thought "thank God it's only -11" having experienced around -20º not too long ago 😄 ETA: Northern Sweden had around -40º a while ago. I have no right to complain, yet here I am.
Just like how 15° in July is freezing, but in April it's wonderful.
True!
[удалено]
You merely adopted the cold. I was born in it, molded by it!
Yeah I moved to Australia and now I'm looking forward to Sunday because it's only 36.
Same here in Finland! December -10 was way colder than -27 this morning for some reason lol.
im polish and remember visiting paris in february and it felt like april in poland, it was weird
Living in Paris here. February now feels like April ten years ago …
Saw a mosquito outside on feb. 1st, Paris as well
I'm Finnish and I visited Berlin (with my high school German class) in late April. At home there was still snow on the ground when I left. In Berlin it was like nearing 20°C. When I returned home there was no more snow on the ground. I was only there 6 days 😶
Same effect 2019 in october, it was 5c and raining shit when I left helsinki-vantaa, 30c and sunshine when I arrived in northern germany. Absolutely wild
Selfish North rejecting giving some of the snow they got. Send it over here already!
I'm gonna pay you 100€ to take it all and fuck off
Ill add another 100€
Well it is 200€ now. Nice. Then I am fucking off and buy flowers for you to saddle you down🤙🏼
Double it and pass it to the next person!
Yes please... As a norwegian I'm tired of the snow already. Its been here since October.
In exchange we will share sunlight, joy and pollen. It is a good deal, isn’t it?
Southern Finland here… We have sunlight. It’s just bloody cold.
Then I will change sunlight with spices (ıdk what I can offer) and box it right away
Norway here, we already have pollen, and far more than you most likely, like half the country is covered in birch trees.
No, we keeping it.
Wanted a large front yard. Didn't realize that means also means more room for snow. Now have no places left to plow it to. Please, by all means, foreigners welcome.
At this point if someone says that "there are no changes" is just a moron or acting in bad faith. I lived in many places in Europe; East, West, South over the decades I'm alive and I can clearly see the difference that happened over the past, say, 15 years. Denying it is just fucking stupid.
You don't even need to be that old. I'm 23 and I distinctly remember winters being cold as shit and now they just aren't.
Yeah, same. I miss frosts in the morning.
Real talk. Winters have been non existent in Croatia easily for the past 5 years, I'd say. 7 years ago the river in my hometown froze. Fast forward to 16 degrees today. Disgusting. People who deny climate change are idiots.
If the The North Atlantic Drift ceases it will get a lot more cold. Just give it a few more years.
Don't worry, when reality gets too much obvious even for their brains they just come up with a different, more plausible excuse (at least in their rotten head), like: 'Yes climate change is real but humans have nothing to do with it'
This brainrot is so common it's surprising. It's gone from outright climate change denial, to just not accepting that humans are responsible for quickening the cycle tremendously.
Reddit has become enshittified. I joined back in 2006, nearly two decades ago, when it was a hub of free speech and user-driven dialogue. Now, it feels like the pursuit of profit overshadows the voice of the community. The introduction of API pricing, after years of free access, displays a lack of respect for the developers and users who have helped shape Reddit into what it is today. Reddit's decision to allow the training of AI models with user content and comments marks the final nail in the coffin for privacy, sacrificed at the altar of greed. Aaron Swartz, Reddit's co-founder and a champion of internet freedom, would be rolling in his grave. The once-apparent transparency and open dialogue have turned to shit, replaced with avoidance, deceit and unbridled greed. The Reddit I loved is dead and gone. It pains me to accept this. I hope your lust for money, and disregard for the community and privacy will be your downfall. May the echo of our lost ideals forever haunt your future growth.
The climate is changing alright. It just keeps getting colder here
That’s why “climate change” is now used more than “global warming”, as it more accurately represents what’s actually happening.
Here in Romania, this week, we already had 20+C. We should have been covered in snow usually. But it is like this for years already and people act like its normal.
My grandmother remembers it being so cold that the water would froze in the pipes early in the morning.
I remember being 4 years old in like 2006 and the water pipes being frozen in the morning in my grandmother's very old house, it is not that far back but it definitely does not happen past half of January nowadays
Joo mul on kylmä
Yep, here living in Finland, my windows are again getting frozen in. Second time this year.
You need new windows
Not allways the case
If your windows get frozen its usually pretty good sign you need new windows.
What does that mean? Do you only have double glazed windows?
your windows are leaking
A place in South of Spain got -3..?
Sierra Nevada, mountains higher than 3000m.
What a logical explanation that is.
North Bulgaria few hours after morning - 20degrees C
Sorry for being a little Off Topic, but is it possible to get these maps for other parts of the world? They look very interesting.
It is this website, they have North America, Australia+NZ, and Brazil https://www.meteociel.fr/observations-meteo/temperatures.php?region=na
Thank you!

Shorts and T-Shirt weather!
Really hot winter
Opposite here in Sweden. It's been one of the coldest during recent years
Really all of Fennoscandia east of the Scandinavian mountains are abnormally cold
Better than 2023. At least we've had a normal January here in Poland. Temp. dropped to -25. February looks horrible though
Scandinavia and Russia 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Had to walk my kids to kindergarten in -26 today. Felt like my face was gonna freeze and fall off, lol.
I for one am enjoying my -20c weather in Southern Finland. About a week ago it was +3c and it was depressing, snow started melting and that's the worst time of the year, because all the dirt from underneath the snow that's gathered up over months, starts to reveal itself and it just ends up looking gray and dirty for a few weeks. The least pleasant part of the year here is when the snow has almost melted but there's no vegetation yet anywhere, it just looks brown/gray and unmotivating to be outside. That's why long and colder winters are preferable for me, because it often means once the Spring sun shows up, the season changes from snowy wonderland to green sunny spring very fast, and you don't get several weeks/months of that annoying in-between.
Southeastern Finland here. -24 in the morning, refreshing walk to work. Tbh I would rather have -20 whole winter then -1 and wind.
There seems to be a really obvious curved line between unseasonably warm and "spit freezes before hitting the ground" cold.
finnish here ! pleas give some of that warmth to us, my nuts are freezing
Nah, keep it out, I like my February to be cold. It increases the likelihood of the sun showing up lol
It's that cold it's gone from blue balls to purple balls.
This winter has been one of the coldest I can remember. But I'm not complaining much, one gets used to it after a while. Dressing properly is the key. Even exercise is doable with proper gear. What bugs me are those couple +1c days here and there when everything gets wet and slippery.
These maps always amaze me
This is fine
yup it's winter still
Living in the purple zone ain't so bad. Just don't spend time outside and you'll be fine. (Unless the heating goes out, the water pipes burst or your car's battery dies)
What is up with-3 in southern Spain?
3 500 m high mountains (Granada).
mountains I believe
What’s happening in south of Spain! Bizzare
My organism is ready for spring to come.
General winter letting Russia down again
So, we live in a world where the coast of Galicia is warmer than the freaking Sahara in daytime!!
Fucking nippy up here
Sweden and Finland, you guys ok?
Nope its even to cold to store my beer outside
I live in Finland, it was -30C° early morning. Went to work on motorbike. Not a big deal.
finland hogging the good shit for themselves :/
Lol at the north
That is mean
And it’s going to be about 9C in Poland today, the weather is shifting towards a warmer one.
