The BBC have been hyperventilating about US heatwaves seemingly all summer.

Now we have the data from NOAA for the last three months, we can see that it has not been remarkable at all, even using the heavily adjusted data:

Neither has it been particularly drier than normal:

I wonder when the BBC will report that?

    Am I to laugh or choke? Anybody who has “outside” or “alternative” interests ( Not in this woke environment) would soon see / find out what life is like outside the Cities. Just about sums it all up when referring to these colored moons, ‘you have to look UP in a certain direction to see it’ Where have these people been all the time?

    I believe that the NOAA was one of very few places which did not acknowledge the ” Hottest July Ever ” claims made by the computer model from Climate Reanalyzer because a lot of scientists were saying that the figures were all made up .
    S0 perhaps the truth does come out sometimes

      They may not have been made up, but the numbers only went back to 1979…the beginning of satellite coverage. That, of course leaves out all of the data prior to that. Pretty slick trick. Climate magicians?

    Never pass up an opportunity to manufacture a crisis.

    Started filling Lake Mead (on Colorado River) in 1935. Was filled to capacity by 1941 – during the great drought and heat waves.

    “…hyperventilating about US heatwaves…”

    Very apt terminology, Paul!

      I was much too far out all my life
      And not waving but drowning.

    But the alarm in the US was over “heatwaves” not average temperatures over tte whole summer. Whereas the alarm in the UK was over average max-min inJune. And the alarm in other places was over average max. And in Florida the alarm was a single hurricane.

    Climate change is perfectly positioned to find alarm to trumpet loudly no matter what.

    Marvel at how the BBC managed to write a ‘report’ about an event that hadn’t actually happened. They shoehorn ‘heatwave’, ‘dangerous’ and ‘new records’ into just the headline! Imagine what the whole article was like. Incredible work. MBE’s all round.

    It’s weird when so little is happening to the climate … that people are more obsessed with the climate than ever before. Does that mean, when the climate actually does start changing, that they are going pay it absolutely no attention at all?

    Thank you Paul! Are there any MPs or “Lords/Ladies/Bishops” who subscribe to Notalota?

    It’s like the BBC getting hysterical over a warm sunny June in the UK. Hat tip to climate ignorami – if the sun shines more than usual in the summer, the average temperature for the month will be higher.

    As it turns out, every crop I planted out from May 7th to May 31st gave me a bumper crop. So the 5 weeks of 23-26C and sunny weather was absolutely wonderful for growing food. Rather more important than getting hysterical over a double digit number, eh?

    The summer overall was entirely normal – we had a cooler July and August, with more rain, so if you average the three out, nothing exceptional at all.

    But winter squash, leeks, sweetcorn, tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes all absolutely loved it.
