WORLD’S LOWEST-EVER OCTOBER TEMPERATURE UNDER THREAT, PUNISHING POLAR FRONTS TO SWEEP AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AMERICA, AND SOUTH AFRICA, + MONTHLY COLD RECORDS FALL IN ALASKA AND RUSSIA

OCTOBER 1, 2021 CAP ALLON


WORLD’S LOWEST-EVER OCTOBER TEMPERATURE UNDER THREAT

Far from warming, planet earth appears on the cusp of its next great cooling epoch–one driven by historically low solar activity.

Exceptional cold is currently being registered across the Antarctic Plateau.

On the opening day of October, the Russian Base of Vostok logged an astonishing minimum temperature of -79.4C (-110.9F) — this reading is just 0.6C above the world’s lowest temperature ever recorded in the month of October (set at the former Plateau Station, also in Antarctica).


This anomalous cold isn’t set to subside anytime soon, and it is entirely possible that over the coming days planet earth will suffer its coldest October low ever recorded–during this time of ‘catastrophic global warming’, no less.

Stay tuned for updates.

PUNISHING POLAR FRONTS TO SWEEP AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AMERICA, AND SOUTH AFRICA
A weak and wavy ‘meridional‘ jet stream is kicking some of that anomalous Antarctic cold unusually far north.

We’re now well into spring in the upside down, yet the hemisphere’s three main land masses are all suffering late-season freezes.

Australia’s winter-like front is forecast to engulf the majority of the continent.

Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Luke Huntington said three fronts were expected over the next week-or-so–the worst of which is on course to hit overnight Wednesday, October 6:

The front will sink the mercury some 12C below the seasonal average for many.

And heavy late-season snow is even expected across the far southeast, including Tasmania:


It’s a similar story in South America, where after a winter of drought and historically low temperatures (which destroyed vast swathes of Brazil’s and Argentina’s coffee and corn crops) the unusual chill is persisting, particularly in Argentina:

And in South Africa, additional low temperature records are under threat as polar cold is ‘kicked-up’ from Antarctica here too.

As with the brutal freezes in July, the frigid air will push north into the nations of Namibia and Botswana (among others).

RECORD COLD HITS ALASKA…

Clear skies and a cold air mass have pushed the temperatures at Alaska’s King Salmon airport to record lows.

It’s been a chilly September in Bristol Bay, reports kdlg.org — King Salmon busted daily record-lows on five consecutive days.

“We have this cold air mass in place, and so temperatures have been able to cool off at night, quite dramatically so,” said University of Alaska Fairbanks climate scientist Rick Thoman.

Wednesday morning’s low of 14F (-10C) set a daily record for the fifth day in row.

While the low of 13F (-10.6C) on Sunday actually set a new September monthly record low — King Salmon’s coldest Sept temp in NOAA books dating back 80 years, to 1941.


…AND RUSSIA

The first real bone-chilling cold of the season (sub -20C/-4F) has invaded Russia.

A reading of -22C (-7.6F) was recently registered in Delyankir, Siberia — a new all-time monthly record low.

Further cold records have also swept the nation of late, with -17.7C (0.1F) logged in Ilirnej and -16.1C (3F) in Oymyakon.
