My city is expecting the first rainy Christmas in recorded history. The Earth is so screwed.
This would be a nice temperature for Easter, not for Christmas Eve.

Same here in the UK. Far too warm.
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It’s storming and 60 degrees where I live.
It should be cold and snowing.
I’m glad I never had kids. Can’t imagine how bad it’s going to be in a decade or two when the shit really hits the fan.

These are the temps in the notoriously cold Minnesota as well. I’m unsettled and upset.

Yup. I’m Northwest of you in Canada and I can see my lawn. I’m not supposed to see my lawn…
(At least until March at the earliest. We have a little bit of snow but not much, most of it melted)
Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 months ago
January and February is when it normally gets cold here.
People like to pretend that Christmas was a time of snow and ice, but that’s pretty rare. Dickens wrote about them, but his childhood coincided with the coldest decade in over a century.
spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Lived in my city for 37 years. Never had a “brown Christmas” until this year. It has also been above freezing every day this winter. Not the norm.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Mate what? You typically see -3 to maybe 7C. It’s 13-14C today it seems. That’s not normal.
The warmest Christmas in UK history is 15C. Yesterday was the hottest Christmas eve since 1997. We won’t know until tomorrow if today is the hottest Christmas on record.
Quit your climate change denial bullshit.

I’m living on the south coast of Ireland.
Normal temps this time of year should be between 0° and 10°C (32F to 50F)
It hasn’t been less than 10°C all this week, it shows on my car on the way to work. Fucking scary how this is only the beginning and we are in no way prepared for this.

Until the gulf stream gets fucked, then Ireland, the UK, and plenty of other places in Europe will suddenly plummet in temperature. Remember we’re further north than the bulk of Canada… fun times ahead.

The infuriating part here is that there are still people the think climate change is a hoax, even though we see the first effects right here, right now. Last year was similar. I remember it being like 16 degrees on New Year’s Eve. Fucking madness…
set_secret@lemmy.world 4 months ago
a few years back in Sydney Australia it was 40 deg C Christmas eve and then 12 deg Christmas day. Absolutely crazy.
victorz@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I don’t think climate change is a hoax. But from what I hear the cause for it being carbon dioxide alone is not really true. Now, I can’t remember what evidence there was, so please, a grain of salt. But I do trust the person who said it, so, when I have more time in life I intend to find out more. But it’s not like I can do anything to revert the misinformation at this point, should it turn out to be a hoax. The media has already cemented it, and any scientists going against the grain today will lose all credibility, because “the science is done” on this (even though that is very unscientific in and of itself).
stephen01king@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
That’s why no scientist ever said the cause is carbon dioxide alone. Anybody who says that to sow distrust in the scientific community is the one that is not trustworthy.
SuperApples@lemmy.world 4 months ago
You don’t lose credibility for going against the grain, you become a superstar… You just have to have compelling evidence.
All the cases I’ve seen of people who complain about this aren’t being ridiculed for ‘revealing the truth’, but for doing shoddy research and sticking by it.

Are people really this self-centred they just assume everyone lives in the same place as then and should know?

Yeah, bad post.
This is the current temp in south UK, been 14-15c last 2 days. Usually would be less than 0c now, often around -5 or lower in the past.

june@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Not really how climate change works. While the average global temperature will trend higher, there will be colder and hotter seasons, each getting more extreme as they go back and forth. There will be hotter heat waves and colder cold snaps.
highenergyphysics@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Wanna know a fun fact?
Air conditioning stops working effectively around 120F and decreases in efficiency as it gets hotter because the condenser cannot effectively discharge heat into the air.
Freshwater sources are drying up worldwide with absolute proof and nobody cares.
Take a serious look at moving somewhere moderate. The ultra wealthy are all building fortified compounds in the Michigan peninsula. Why?
PinkPanther@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Oh, of course, no doubt! I’m a child if late middle 80’s, growing up in a western coast in Norway. There was always snow during winter. The last 15 years has shown MAYBE a day or two of snow, then warmer again.
And then we had the sudden cold for a couple of weeks, which postponed the construction of a new parking lot with about two months due to the frost in the ground (there was something like a sudden 2-3 weeks of -10 Celsius).
Then we have the summer of 18 in Europe. Even Norway was so dry everything turned yellow.
It happens, but I do think that in some climates, like Norway, it’ll mostly get warmer with the freak occurrence of cold/heat (depending on the season). My previous comment is for the general term, not to be taken literally.
And thank you! I’ve missed having a constructive discussions on the internet. Happy holidays!
dinckelman@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It is 20C where I am. I don’t remember it ever being over 5-10 in this area, during December. I’m still wearing shorts, while usually going outside without a thick hoodie and a scarf used to be a stupid idea.
And on the flip side of that, the summer was so hot, that we all had to bunker inside, to avoid high humidity heat.
gaiussabinus@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Had a discussion with the wife about the last winter. That there will be a last winter with meaningfully cold temperatures was something that she had not considered at all.
ArdMacha@lemmy.world 4 months ago
There won’t be, climate is now complicated than that
gaiussabinus@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Its complicated day to day but it’s not that complicated. We have a giant heat sink in the form of the arctic ocean. Once its ice free I expect freezing temperatures to be rare. There will be a point where this area(north west north america) no longer sees the 80 degree C swings in temperature that it has seen historically. Expectation is closing the temperature gap biased high.

It was wet and cold (10^o^C) during the day, dry and warm (12^o^C) at 23:15 when I walked the dog yesterday. It hasn’t happend very often that in winter the night are warmer.
I have to admit, we had a christmas 2-3y ago where we worked in the garden, as it was the only dry and warm day for months.

We had a nice blanket of snow earlier this week here in NEOhio but it was gone 36 hours later
numberfour002@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Where I live in the USA, that’s not a particularly unusual day time high for this time of year. I always like when it’s not bitterly cold at Christmas and New Years, and some of my favorite childhood Christmases/holidays were spent in shorts and t-shirts. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced snow on Christmas, perhaps a flurry at best around New Year’s Eve is the most I can recall off the top of my head.
Granted, I live some place where that’s been the norm for the past such and such number of decades since the age of the brontosaurus which is what they were called back then.
joemo@lemmy.sdf.org 4 months ago
I definitely see a shift where I live in the US (Northeast). We used to get snow that stuck in November and it carried us through to March or April. Now we will get some flurries but nothing really sticks until January. The overall length remains the same, but it seems shifted by a month or two

It’s ~20C year round where I live. There are Christmas lights on the palm trees. That’s how we tell the season.

Used to be minimum 2-3C when I was growing up. With temps as low as -5c. Now it’s 11C
tiredofsametab@kbin.social 4 months ago
11 in my neck of Tokyo. The last few nights have dipped below freezing, however. This probably isn't super weird for the time of year here, however. Going up to visit the inlaws for the end of the year, and it's currently 0 up there. Last year, I think we hit -15 whilst we were there, but this year it looks like the low is going to be freezing (which is rather warm for northeastern Japan in December).

You wouldn’t happen to be taking a picture of a screen from a gasoline-powered car, are you?
walden@sub.wetshaving.social 4 months ago
Gas cars contribute for sure, but so do electric cars, heating houses, manufacturing, you name it. If everyone switched to riding bicycles tomorrow it wouldn’t make a huge difference. I’d like to see something like that happen over time, sure, but in this case you’re wrong to accuse OP of causing climate change (assuming you’re one of the anti-car bunch that’s everywhere on Lemmy. Sorry if I’m wrong about that).
Synthead@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’m not an anti-car person. I also understand that we live in the world we are presented with, and there is a significant systemic oil culture that is difficult and expensive to not consume. I just thought this photo was a little ironic.

That’s not that bad, depending on where you live. Seattle rarely gets below 0C and 10C is pretty normal for a high in December.

My best Christmas ever was in Belgium. We were supposed to go to Germany for the day to visit distant relatives. A blizzard closed everything and instead I got to stay in a bathrobe and read.
Now I would have to go and pack a bathing costume. I am not a fan of climate change.
theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I won’t ever forget how cold it got here last Christmas in Appalachia.
I closed the store for the 24th and 25th. When I came back the place was flooded because the heat stopped working and the pipes in the ceiling exploded. The entire store was flooded and I spent the day after Christmas pushing water out of the store.
I had to take a heater and melt the ice to finish the job.
What a nightmare.
