Hottest July on record in Moscow

[Chris]

Temperature in Moscow is near to reach the absolute record of 1920 with 36.8 degrees Celsius (98.24 degrees Fahrenheit), Moscow meteorological bureau's official said on Saturday.

"At 17:00 Moscow time (11:00 GMT) the principal meteorological station at the National Exhibition Center registered 36.7 degrees Celsius breaking the record of 1936 with the maximum temperature for July of 36.5 degrees," the official said, adding the temperature was unlikely to rise.

July 24 became the hottest day for the 130-year history of the meteorological observations.

The meteorologists said the next five days Moscow may see more record hot days with Sunday's temperature of 33.5 degrees and 34.8 degrees on Tuesday. These figures are the highest since 1936.

On Friday, a source in the city's meteorological bureau said July 2010 had become the hottest month on record in Moscow.

So uhh, errr,..... what caused the previous heat record in 1920?

The unprecedented Russian heat wave continues to rage on, with July already the hottest month on record.

While emergency teams deal with rising cases of heat stroke, forecasters say the hot weather is set to stay.

With mercury hitting record highs in Moscow and office dress-codes eased all around, the city of 12-million is starting to look like a beach resort.

Fountains have become bathtubs with people taking every opportunity to escape from the searing heat of the capital. Other Muscovites have taken more risky dips in the river, the result of which has led to three hundred people drowning this week alone.

According to forecasters, it doesn't look like Russians will have a break from this furnace anytime soon.

“This is a serious abnormality. The Russian weather service has never measured such temperatures in Moscow in July,” said Dmitry Kiktyov, Deputy Director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia. “According to our calculations, it hasn't even reached its peak yet.”

Moscow......."beach resort?"

Wow, another good reason to turn back GW. Cover yourselves up, please!

"turn back GW?"



Like, turning down the thermostat on the air conditioner?

You realise, that only works INSIDE, right?

So what happened in 1920?

Maybe Russia should pack up and move to South America.
Cold snap freezes South America – beaches whitened, some areas experience snow for the first time in living memory | Watts Up With That?

A brutal and historical cold snap has so far caused 80 deaths in South America, according to international news agencies. Temperatures have been much below normal for over a week in vast areas of the continent. In Chile, the Aysen region was affected early last week by the worst snowstorm in 30 years. The snow accumulation reached 5 feet in Balmaceda and the Army was called to rescue people trapped by the snow.

In Argentina, the snow in the region of Mendoza, famous for its winery, was described by localimagemeteorologists as the heaviest in a decade. The temperature in the morning of July 16th was the lowest in the city of Buenos Aires since 1991: -1.5C. The cold snap caused a record demand for energy and Argentina had to import electricity from Brazil. Many industries in Argentina were shut down due to gas shortage.

It snowed in nearly all the provinces of Argentina, an extremely rare event. It snowed even in the western part of the province of Buenos Aires and Southern Santa Fe, in cities at sea level.

Then with all that free space in the Motherland, we can pack up all the dopey libs and relocate them to Siberia.

well, first you would have to prove that this weather is actually GW related
i remember not too long ago when record cold was happening that we were all told that weather is anecdotal and not related to global warming
