Autumn snow in Siberia

From KlimaNachrichten

By KlimaNachrichten Redakteur

There is news from this part of Russia that goes through the roof in the media. It is worth remembering forest fires or extraordinary summer temperatures. Then follow posts on X, if only we had set up a speed limit in Germany or at least more wind turbines, then it wouldn’t be so bad…

We have already recommended Ventusky here a few times. The site visualizes weather data in an excellent way. This allows the snow cover to be displayed and there is interesting data from Siberia. In mid-October 2024, the occultation is greater than it has been in all of the last few years. Ventusky himself thinks an impact on the winter weather in Europe is possible because such large areas are already covered in snow. At the westernmost border, a line was laid in 2024, so you can see how the expansion has been in recent years.

It can be assumed that this anomaly does not make it into the media. Yet it is good evidence of more moisture in the atmosphere. However, one that can also have an impact on weather and temperatures in the opposite direction. But that doesn’t click so well.
