The March of Climate Change is Not Always Smooth

For John, BLUF:  The march of Climate Change is not always in one direction.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

So Far Germany Seeing Coldest April In 104 Years, Second Coldest Since 1881, Snowiest Since 1986

Here is the sub-headline:

It’s been a really frosty April this year across Central Europe.  Germany so far has seen it’s second coldest April since records began in 1881.

From Watts Up With That, by Blogger P Gosselin, 18 April 2021.

Here is the lede plus three:

April across much of Europe has been unusually cold, frosty and even snowy, and the media have been awfully quiet about it.…

With a mean temperature of 4.5°C for Germany, April so far continues to be the second coldest since 1881, according to German DWD national weather service records. Only 1917 was colder at a mean of 4.3°C.

Another cold blast forecast for next weekend

And it likely isn’t going to change too much, as the ECMWF model is forecasting yet another unusual April cold wave with snow and frost for next week. A warm up is forecast near the end of the month, but that is still some 10 days out.

My wife reminded me that when we were living in Bitburg, Germany, in 1968, there were three weeks of Summer.

Just a tad of humility on the part of the Climate Change fanatics would help to bring more on board to their cause.
