A record high temperature today of 77 degrees for my city. Probably just a fluke for February and not related at all to global climate change.

European seas heating up: How warm is too warm?

In August 2024, the Mediterranean Sea hit a record of 28.7°C. High sea temperatures in Europe fuel marine heatwaves that threaten marine lif

…threaten marine life and worsen extreme weather events. Tourists often head to the Mediterranean coast for its breathtaking beaches and warm sea, but these enjoyable temperatures mask a long-term warming trend that fuels torrential rains and intense storms. This pattern is clear in the data: since records began in 1979, the temperature of Europe’s seas has been rising, and the past three years have been significantly warmer than any previous year on record. In 2024, Europe’s seas hit their highest annual average surface temperature on record (13.73°C), according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service. That is almost 0.7°C above average and 0.06°C warmer than the previous record set in 2023. Last year, record highs were observed in the central North Atlantic, Mediterranean, Black, Norwegian, and Barents Seas. In the Mediterranean Sea, average temperatures reached a record 28.7°C on 13 August 2024, which surpassed the previous record of 28.3°C set in July 2023. These extremely high temperatures correspond to marine heatwaves, periods of unusually high sea temperatures that can last weeks, months or even years.

Heat expected to beat record, change Philadelphia October history

Heat expected to beat record, change Philadelphia October history

PHILADELPHIA — The region is dealing with “unseasonably hot temperatures” that will be “approaching or exceeding daily records over much of the area,” according to the National Weather Service.

Also, “expect highs to reach or exceed 90 over the urban corridor, southern New Jersey and Delmarva.”

How rare is that?

Temperature records have been kept at Philadelphia since 1874. In that time…

Did You Feel it?

Did you feel the heat today? The maximum temperature got up to a record breaking 30.9°C or 87.6°F, shattering the previous highest of 29.5°C or 85.1°F for February 11. Further,  there are only four other times 30.9°C has been equaled or exceeded in February:

31.8°C, Feb 18, 2010

31.5°C, Feb 28, 2010

31.3°C, Feb 24, 2010

31.0°C, Feb 21, 1972

30.9°C, Feb 2, 2003 

Ironically, the record value is largely due to the warm southerly wind flow being caused by the approach of a cold front. The front and its showers/rain are likely on Thursday, which will send temperatures in the opposite direction, for much of the rest of the week. Warm sea surface temperatures around the Eastern Caribbean are also contributing to the relatively warm conditions.

Of course, this value by itself means very little if anything; we will see how the month turns out. The mean daily maximum temperature for February is 28.4°C or 83.1°F. The outlook for the month is above normal temperature.
