As Globe Cools, Snow And Cold Return. German Post Electric Delivery Vehicles And Mail Go Up In Flames

Not long ago, Dr. Roy Spencer posted the latest satellite Lower Troposphere Temperature as measured by satellite. Over the most recent years we have seen global temperatures drop.

And we also see signs cooling is putting the brakes on global ice melt and temperature rises, which, by the way, many scientists have linked to natural factors such as solar and oceanic cycles.

Cold spring in Europe

Snowfan here posted how Europe has seen an “unusually cold second quarter of the year (April-June)” thus far with much of Europe 1°C below the mean:

Snowfan also posts how the CFSv2 is indicating near normal summertime temperatures ahead with no really unusual warmth in sight.

Svalbard snow cover

This year June snow cover for Svalbard has reached the highest level in 5 years:

Antarctic sea ice extent continues upward trend

Also three weeks ago, David Birch here tweeted how Antarctic sea ice had rebounded, and continues its overall upward trend:

 

Electric vehicle woes

On another topic, electric vehicles continue to have serious technical problems: suddenly catching fire. Not only that, it takes hours for firefighters to get the fires under control.

Germany’s online Badische Zeitung (BZ) here reports how two electric cars belonging to the German Post Office completely burned out last Tuesday, taking the parcels and letters with them.

“Letters and parcels also went up in flames. But the work is far from over with the extinguishing work on the e-vehicles,” writes the BZ. “Due to the long-lasting chemical reactions set in motion by the fire inside the vehicles’ rechargeable batteries, they have to be flooded in special containers to cool them down for 24 hours.”

    Burning postal vehicles brings new meaning to the term hotmail.

    EV owners ought not park them near their homes.
    Maybe near a neighbor’s home, just not their own.

    So far the weather models from DWD, ECMWF, GFS and GEM keep promising a nice long spell of HOT or VERY HOT weather for the UK. Thus far it has been very intermittent with some unusually cool days with night frosts (in June!).
    Current outlook is for more of the same, with (yet again) forecasts of a VERY HOT weekend next week!
    More ‘jam tomorrow’. 😉

    It is Germany, it’s just in Google Translate it comes out as “Swiss Post”
