Bucking The ‘Warming’: Mid May ‘Ice Saints’ In Europe Have Intensified Since 1996!
By P Gosselin on 19. May 2020
Excerpt:
Global warming should mean that the period of May 11-15 – known as the Ice Saints in Europe – when late spring frosts often occur, would become less frosty over the years. But the opposite has been the case since 1995.

Why have the Ice Saints gotten colder over the past 25 years?

In Germany the five days from the 11th to 15th May are the so-called Eisheilige (Ice Saints). Farmers used to understand “ice” simply as late spring frost, so these are days with frost.
Our question is how have the Ice Saints behaved at various locations across Germany the last 25 years?
POTSDAM
Let’s start with Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg. We take the last 25 years as the period under consideration:
Figure 1: The five Ice Saints days in the state capital Potsdam. They are getting much colder. 2020 was the low point of the last 25 May months. On three days there were night frosts.
