It's whimsy Winter but It's sunny Summer

[Jeheza]

It just feels odd, for me at least, to go outside in dark forest at 5PM local time when temperature is 10 (°C) | 50 (°F); the same we had last June. Christmas is coming soon and there is no snow anywhere. And I live in the damn North Pole.

So, my fellow forumites, what do you think about this fascinating phenomenon called climate change. Is it Hot or Not? Or do you care at all?

It has been the warmest December ever in my country yet.

It feels like spring with night temperatues at 10 and midday temperatures at 15°C.

It might kill the christmas mood, but I love this weather.

No snow or ice, which cause traffic chaos.

Perfect weather to cycle.

I heard that some scientists think plankton is gonna die if the ocean temps continue to rise and reach about 6 degrees high than now.

[Naughx]

This winter is a bit more hot than last year.

Still colder than in Finland. (Current temperature is -4.7°C)

Should be at around -12°C~-14°C at this time of the year.

At least it is snowing.

It doesn't snow where I live so I couldn't care any less about snow tbh

It used to be like -10°C to -25°C here, back in the good old days.

Yeah, I miss the snow a little for the mood reasons, but if anything good comes out of it, it's the more secure and smooth traveling with wheels. I hate driving a car on Icy roads.

I only would like to have snow on christmas evening, after everyone has arrived at their families.

Christmas without snow doesn't feel like christmas.

The missing cold temperatures are also a huge problem for the christmas markets. No one wants to drink mulled wine.

And the missing snow ruins the ski resort operators.

In the past three years there was snow for like one week. That's nothing!

You can see the global warming impressively.

[Esme]

we're all gonna die and there's nothing you can do to stop it

[Jiac]

Bro, it's always Summer! Currently Winter is not being winter. >:) Winter needs to stop being so cold.

I'm hotter than everyone.

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

I've checked the weather forecast for a few cities on christmas.

New York: 20°C

Moscow: >0°C at day and night (!!!)

It spooks me out a lot actually. California is finally getting buckets of rain and snow, but its due to El Nino. As a result, the East is getting absolutely jack shit in terms of winter weather. (im not sure whats worse. Whats going with them now, or the Fimbulvetr conditions they got for the past two years. Not too above admitting, that if that happened for a third year back East, i would start crying "RAGNAROK" and freaking out.) Dungeoness crabs and sea lions are getting sick because of an algae thats growing because the ocean waters are getting warmer. Ice caps keep melting. It was warmer in Norway than it should have been, about a month ago.

Its fucking scary.

Well, if it's any consolation, it could simply be another warming phase between two cooling ones. One where man became more involved with since like the industrial revolution, but a cycle nonetheless.

The number of frozen and snowy days sank dramatically in Germany.

(to be fair Januar and early February tend to be cooler than December, so it's a bit too early to say that)

However there has been no single frozen night in December yet.

The temperatures have a niveau you'd expect in October and March.

At night it's even warmer than on cloudless summer nights.

You don't even need a jacket in the morning at 13°C anymore atm. It's just bizarre!

what's this about the end of the world?

we've had lots of those I've heard

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

I still have mosquitos in my bedroom.

[Jeheza]

I still have mosquitos in my bedroom.

Really? My condolences. It's like one of the most annoying things at summer imo, when you go to sleep and turn the lights off, but suddenly start hearing repulsive whimper around the room...

I actually checked the most recent forecast and according to it, we're having some rain( as liquid format), 6 C temperature and wind blow of 11m/s.

I guess I'll spend my Christmas Eve/Day inside the house.

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

Mosquito time is late summer / early autumn here.

Thanks to the missing night frost, they could survive.

My 26th December: Laying in the garden on a swing and having a sunbath.

That's how the christmas days work nowadays.
