Not really surprised.
Every time I open Apple Weather and look at the daily average it seems to be ~ +5c the norm, about a year ago I just put it down to "must be a warm summer" but it's been like that for almost 12 months now. It's autumn and it's crazy warm.
Either Apply weather has some serious bug, or it's the climate that's ruined. Even the trees seem a bit confused.
What's that data going to look like in a decade? I really hate to think.
- ipaddr 2y agoYou might live in an unusual place or Apple could be providing misleading data. The 5c above norm isn't accurate for the majority of the world.
- bamboozled 2y ago...or I might be living in a place experience an extreme heatwave induced by anthropogenic warming ?

- smolder 2y agoIt's anthropogenic (human caused) warming.
- bamboozled 2y agoThanks
- tightbookkeeper 2y agoWhen there are cold years we are told this is short term weather and not long term climate. But every warm year and storm is evidence of long term change.
- taberiand 2y agoYou're reading the wrong sources. The actual science is clear, the earth is undergoing rapid climate change due to human-driven CO2 release.
- tightbookkeeper 2y agoPlease read my comment closely. Whether that’s true or not, according those scientists we can’t use how we feel about seasonal weather as evidence of it.
- smolder 2y agoThat's a good point. 1 storm in isolation is not evidence of anything. A pattern of increasingly severe weather events is.
- tightbookkeeper 2y agoNot only that, normalized by region, decade, astronomical configuration, etc. If you read a few papers about metholodgy for identifying trends in global temperature it’s quite complex.
- taberiand 2y agoMy point is we're not actually being told that cold weather is weather and hot weather is climate change, except maybe by people wanting to muddy the waters on the issue
- tightbookkeeper 2y agoThis is daily coverage of the issue on popular outlets like NPR.
- Projectiboga 2y agoRecord high temps are almost 75% of new temperature records. The ~25% that are new lows ate due to arctic cold slipping down with our more wobbly jet stream. And the ice melt has hidden almost 90% of the net heat increase. Ice melting the last degree consumes much more heat than going warmer. This is all happening much faster than any time in our geologic record. We are at serious danger of runaway warming.
- PaulKeeble 2y agoIts a (well known in climate science) impact that the temperature over land is about double that of the average warming. The other effect is that the warming isn't evenly spread across the world so some places are gaining temperature considerably faster than others.
- bamboozled 2y agoSure, but after so long of seeing +5c it's getting a little unnerving, plus, it's just hot all the time, I love cooler weather and wearing jeans when working outdoors etc, usually by now it's very cool, but We just can seem to get to that point yet.
