Nothing to see here. Just Iceland clocking temperatures **10°C ABOVE SUMMER AVERAGES** in the middle of the night, in the dead of winter. Totally normal. Absolutely fine. Everyone go back to sleep.

Past couple of years I’ve had the feeling, “This is the year it’s going to get real.” Looks like I was only about a year early because 2025 did not disappoint. Record rainfall here in spring, driest August on record (both by a pretty good margin), and now 4-5 days straight of broken high temperature records in late December. It’s also dry as a bone here. I can’t shake the feeling 2026 is going to be a doozy…

I guess my answer depends on how much I am or am not a determinism absolutist. But then on second examination I suppose my answer is this: fiddling with that distinction in the face of what’s happening to the biosphere is like dropping out of the bomb bay of the Enola Gay riding Fat Boy with your rear gunner and arguing halfway down about who has to ride bitch. It’s fucking irrelevant who cares at all we’re doomed.

It’s never totally irrelevant. We may all die in this thing, or a few of us may survive, but what’s right is right regardless, and wrong is wrong. If you are correct, we all might just as well kill ourselves right now, yet here we are, typing out responses…

No that’s absurdio ad reductem, even if I’m making sure to have an exit bag ready to go in case the brownshirts go all the way and I get genocided. There’s a middle ground between a warm bag of nitrogen before bed tonight, a shower at the new wing of alligator Alcatraz 3 years from now or dying of famine or plague or civil unrest in 30 as 4 billion people flee towards water like a glacier of roaches. That middle ground requires a calculated and fearless tactical fight for the best possible outcomes for myself and the people I can still help shield from suffering. They’re the juice that’s worth the squeeze, even if we are as a species (and I’m fairly convinced we ARE) a 9/11 jumper trading options on our way to kissing the WTC concourse at 190 MPH. I’d kill 50 men to give my kids an extra good Day.

Summer 2024 was unforgettable to me because my kid was born in June, but that was also in the backdrop of literally the hottest, shittiest summer I’ve ever lived through.

I just checked the climate data of my hometown. And it's grim. They've got consistently collected meteorological data for every single day since 1870. It's crazy to look at. The average yearly temperature has gone up from around 8.5C in the 70s to 11.5C in the 2020s. The amount of days with a temperature above 25C has gone up from 60 in the 70s to 100+ in the 2020s. There were 100-120 "frost days" a year in the 70s and 80s where the lowest recorded temperature that day would never go above 0C, and 20-30 "ice days" where the highest recorded temperature would never go above 0C. There's 2 or 3 "ice days" in the 2020s, and around "60-70 frost days. The amount of "summer days" where the temperature didn't go below 25C however increased from around 40-50 in the 70s, 50-60 in the 80s to 90-100 in the 2020s and late 2010s. I remember specific days in winter as a child where we had crazy amounts of snow falling. Those crazy days were breakout years where we had 1-4 days of 50+ cm of snow falling in a day. There have been none since I was a child save for a single day in like 2019 where the entire city's infrastructure collapsed cause we had a single day of crazy snowfall and had gotten rid of 90% of the snowplowing equipment and workforce the city had cause we hadn't needed it in so long. As a child I remember years where my mother just plopped me on a sled and pulled me to kindergarden/school cause it was easier than having a small child work or having to carry it. When I was in school all the walkways in winter were just trampled snow. That completely disappeared when in the mid/late 2000s.

Jesus christ, is everyone here just taking this at face value? Without an ounce of research? This stuff happens semi-relatively in Iceland, it's called Föhn Wind, when the wind drops downslope of a mountain range or something. Tt can cause temperatures to fluctuate up to like 15 degrees centigrade in a few hours; and combine that with Iceland being an island so it's much more easily affected by these swings. "Record brutalized", bro it beat out the previous record by like 0.1 degrees.

I live in northern MN, just a few miles from the Canadian border. While I of course have concerns when we have the bigger changes, like snowless December 2 years ago. Or intense thunderstorms with insane amounts of rain. My bigger concern is the major shift to what used to be normal for our winters, and how few people are concerned about it. I'm 50, and growing up in the 80s and 90s, I always spent my Thanksgiving holiday weekend (late November) on the ice with my dad. He was a trapper and I went with to help. Our winter lasted from November-April and it was reliable, every year you knew you'd have lake ice by Thanksgiving. We've lost November from winter, and are losing December, too. The past 10 years, we see as much rain as we do snow. We often don't have enough ice by Christmas to be on the lake for snowmobiling. Even in the heart of winter (Dec-Feb) we rarely dip to -30, never mind the -40 that was normal several days a year just 10 years ago. Those cold spells kept out various invasive species, like non-native ticks, ash borers etc. Now we're losing our cold and they are moving in. The entire landscape of the wilderness/forest we live in has changed just my adult lifetime. Tree species are changing, animals are moving in (and some are moving out due to the changes). And everyone is like, "The climate changes, that's what it does." They have on concept of how bad it is that it's observable in not just a human lifetime, but a fraction of one.

Maybe there isn't much to do to secure a long term future but there is quite a bit to do generally speaking. We have an understanding of the situation, but the reason why there are "understandings" (thoughts) is to inform our actions, not to sit on them and cry.

It was 77 here in Northeast Georgia. Everyone felt weird all day, kind of like going around with our shoulders slightly hunched under the weight of the air.

I just checked since the question is a great one. From a super quick personal search three different online newspapers reported the same temperature, although they say it in less sensational ways, without the comparison with summer and reporting that the year-on-year change is only 0.1 degrees looking it up Iceland summer temperatures, it all pretty much checks out. All the sources seem to say true things (or at least, a shared reality with similar starting raw data) but making it look very different to the reader

I told my students this fall when we were getting good cold snaps and decent snows last year for the first time in awhile, on top of a record wet/cool spring and summer that refilled a ton of our lakes. Other shoe has to drop. I’ve seen way more dry years in Kansas than moderate years, and we won’t get away clean with a good year. I put it bluntly, “I actually used to be able to ice skate and build snow forts on frozen ponds in the winter time in the 90s.” I don’t know if I would ever trust the ice in central Kansas to hold a person’s weight ever again.

This reminds me of how it will no longer be possible to make a hiking expedition to the north pole. The ice is not thick enough. A thing of history.

Eh, we had the SAME length of Warmth that Denver is having here in Southern New England for about 11 days in Mid-December 2015…12-25-15 here was 77 degrees, had a Christmas barbecue outdoors in June attire…our planets’ climate is undergoing change, but remember that weather is just an exchange of atmospheric energy from one place to another on the globe, in the attempt for the planet to achieve an equilibrium in distribution…problems gonna be when more and more places get heat domes that do not move for 4 months!….
