October trend cools down. And read below why Europe may be facing a winter from hell.
Global warming is expected to mean warmer autumns and milder winters, and therefore we should expect a warming trend in October.
Today, we review the latest October data currently available from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) for France and Ireland.
October 20 year data for France
First, we plot the mean temperature data for 14 surface stations in France for which the JMA has enough data (unsampled) – going back to 2000:
Data sources: JMA.
As the chart above shows, eight of the 14 stations charted show no warming or cooling in October. Like other regions of the northern hemisphere, autumn in France is unlikely to be at all. warming since 2000.
Ireland – 26 years of cold October
Next, we plot the average October temperatures for stations in Ireland over the past 26 years, which is also where the JMA has sufficient data.
Because of its location in the Northeast Atlantic and its rural features, Ireland can tell us what’s really going on:
. Data sources: JMA.
All seven stations in Ireland showed a trend to cool down or almost flatten. No warming in October.
“Europe’s first winter cold has strained natural gas supplies”
So report World oil is here.
Unless the leaders really understand the power supply problem. Europeans may be looking at a winter from hell.
Temperatures will start to drop across Europe next week as a high-pressure system could also bring cold fronts over central and southern Europe later in the month, according to meteorological simulations.
“The region will be particularly sensitive to a cold snap in the coming months, with gas prices rising for a second week following record gains in October.” World Oil report here. “The arrival of cold weather in Europe will bring freezing temperatures and snow in China, the world’s largest energy consumer. Higher heating demand could intensify the already fierce war for liquefied natural gas commodities, with US flexible LNG prices still more attractive than in Asia. ”
