Germany’s Summer Falls Way Short Of Predicted Hellish Temps..North, Baltic Seas Cool – Watts Up With That?

Snowfan here reports there’s also there’s no heatwave in sight across much of Europe and Germany.

Summer in Germany has slowed halfway through as there’s no sign of Health Minister Karl Lauterbach’s predicted  heatwaves or Marc Benecke’s “hell-summer of the century“, which of course could have led to health emergencies and possible lock downs.

In fact, quite to the contrary, the North Sea and Baltic Sea are severely under-cooled in mid-July, as Europe finds itself surrounded by under-cooled seas.

In mid-July 2024, the NOAA reanalysis shows that the seas off the coasts of Europe and off West Africa up to the equator are widely undercooled compared to the global WMO climate mean 1991-2020 (blue and purple). This applies to the eastern North Atlantic, including the North and Baltic Seas, and even the central Mediterranean.

Next we look more closely at the North and Baltic Seas:

With the latest data from July 13, 2024, the NOAA reanalysis shows that large parts of these two seas are noticeably cooler than the global WMO climate mean 1991-2020 on July 16, 2024.

Reports of allegedly too warm water there in mid-July 2024 were obviously fake news.
