Thread: East Europe feels the warming.

PS That's probably because you'll have died of hypothermia. You know the old saying, only two things guaranteed are death and taxes and we'd like to tax you to death.

"we're from the government and we're here to help you"

Good idea that will also help with overpopulation.

If you have it it would make my record complete. Last time I entered Dec it was 4.96 degC but that would have been before christmas.

December was 1.0C and 0.6C above average for 1961-1990 and 1971-2000 averages respectively.

I've just been watching CNN news and they had a news article on the Ukraine because of the cold. According to the article it is normally an average high of -2 this year it's -20.

If the world is warming up then why is this region of East Europe far cold than it normally is?

Roland, isn't the East experiencing one of the biggest high pressure systems seen for a very long time? Now the Siberian High is a well know "feature" and I am presuming that it is this that is bringing the cold.

December was 1.0C and 0.6C above average for 1961-1990 and 1971-2000 averages respectively.

Thank you.
