Excuse but I couldn't write any else title to this topic
Looking at yesterday's - and especially today's weather here - I got very excited but next a bit frightened...
You know that I live at 50
o latitude, and although the April is usually warm, having +30C in April is extremely abnormal!
I can easily call this weather a summer.
+30C max today!!!
Yes, I typed it correctly, see my meteostation's screenshot:
Now the statistics...
Today, Apr.28: average daily +22C, min +5C, max +30C, clear, no precip, no significant winds
And compare to my statistics
(2006-8) for Apr.25-30:
average daily +13...+15C,
average min. +5...+8C, average max. +16...+20C,
absolute min. +1C, absolute max. +23C.
Anomaly is more than evident...
Just to add: the temperature never rised here above +25C earlier of May.12, and something similar to current conditions occure each year, but usually on May 15-25 i.e. a month later.
Note also the amplitude of daily temperature - it is record high! (25C).
