2023 - Second warmest year.

I think you only accept something like "climate change" when you see it in your own backyard.
I don't think mine has changed dramatically in my lifetime, good years and bad years have always been there.

 

°F and I should of said,Siberia in my original post, doh

There is a report from the, World Meteorological Organization, where they say "In the era of climate change, much attention focuses on new heat records," Yet the coldest temperature every recorded in the Northern Hemisphere was in 1991 at a weather station in Greenland, this recording was overlooked and it has taken 28 years before going through the data, checking the original calibrations before publishing their findings.

 

My temperature varies more than 1c from year to year and as for rainfall that varies wildly, I dont dismiss that the experts are coming up with different averages but that's what they do, would there really be any point in working out averages if it was always the same?

I'll look at averages but I'm never going rule my life by them.
