The sun has gone completely blank. This may not last too long, but at least for now, there are no visible sunspots – a sure sign of an approaching solar minimum - and this is the first spotless day on the sun since 2014. In fact, there has been only one spotless day on the sun since 2011 – until today that is. The current solar cycle is the 24th since 1755 when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. Solar cycle number 24 is the weakest solar cycle in more than a century with the fewest sunspots since cycle 14 peaked in February 1906.

From June 1997 to January 2016 global temperatures made a pause. The powerful El Niño event of late 2015 has temporarily ended the warming pause. Using UAH satellite data, since March the temperature has been falling as the warming effects of the recent El Niño fade. Since the El Niño has faded, the oncoming projected cooling La Niña is expected to arrive over the coming months: El Niño is dead, La Niña lives! – ENSO update May 2016. Thus it may be only a question of months before the global warming pause resumes and the Earth cools with the weak sun.
 
Northern Hemisphere Crop losses covering Europe, North American and Asia are staggering.

In several European countries – such as Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia, Germany, Slovenia, France and Belgium – apples, pears, cherries and grapes were frozen. 80% of Cherries, 60% of Apricots, 6% of Wheat, 13% of Austrian wine production. Northern America sits in the 50% losses for fruit. Australian wheat is down.

Time to invest in wine?
 
i'm ok with the climate cooling off. the heat wave last week brought forward by about 3 weeks a rapid ripening of apricots in my orchard. the heat was so intense that apricots at the top of the tree instead of turning reddish orange got cooked and turned darkish like shitskin. had to do an emergency drill and started picking fruit like a monkey. the ones in the shade are still yellowish green.

Is It Really Summer? U.K. Natural Gas Trades Like It’s Winter

The only evidence it’s summer in Britain is the calendar.

The U.K. is as chilly as it was in parts of December, pushing the price of the nation’s main fuel for heating to the highest level in six months.

Same-day gas on the U.K.’s National Balancing Point market rose for a fifth consecutive day, gaining as much as 4.3 percent to the highest level since Dec. 11, according to broker data compiled by Bloomberg. Temperatures in the U.K. are forecast at 13.3 Celsius (56 Fahrenheit) for Thursday, colder than what it was six days before Christmas last year, according to The Weather Co.

People in the city of Mudanjiang of China's northernmost province of Heilongjiang were amazed at the magical force of nature as a snow fell Tuesday morning at the beginning of summer.

The snow lasted for about five hours in Xuexiang in the Shuangfeng Forest Farm of Hailin County, with snow accumulated to about 10 centimeters in some areas.

Analysts say it is unusual to see snow at this time of the year, though snow is frequent in April due to its special geographical location.

Rare summer snowfall for Lapland, Finland

[video=youtube;V7QYN8abacE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7QYN8abacE[/video]

A storm with high winds which swept across western and northern Finland Wednesday night and during the early hours of Thursday downed trees and cut power supplies to up to 14,000 households. Parts of Finnish Lapland have also seen a "summery" eight centimetres of snow.

Highs winds are expected to die down as evening approaches as the low pressure area responsible for the stormy weather moves eastward.

Residents of northern areas also awoke Thursday to some rare white June landscapes. Snowfall was seen especially on the fells of Lapland and in the Saariselkä region which recorded as much as eight centimetres in some localities.
 
Snowflakes on Mount Hood in June? Snow way!

81591903-bd4d-46ee-8a4f-27e8ad639b76-large16x9_SnowonMountHood.jpg


GOVT. CAMP, Ore, -- Mount Hood saw some late spring snowfall Tuesday, which is a very rare occurrence for the mountain.

KATU Meteorologist Rhonda Shelby said we can expect at least two inches of snow at around 4,500 feet.

"A cold, winterlike upper-level air mass over the region will create snow in the Cascades. Maybe up to 6 inches in the Cascades back country by the end of the night," Shelby said.
