Some places are warmer than usual, some places are colder than usual. Did anyone else notice the end of the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018extraordinary\u2019 record-breaking data that has climate experts baffled<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New heat records have been set every day since March last year. Scientists are confused and concerned about the worrying data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day since March last year, daily heat records are reaching new heights and multiple climate records have been broken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cextraordinary\u201d and unexpected phenomenon has concerned the world\u2019s climate scientists, who fear the severe impacts of global warming are emerging sooner than expected and may leave us in \u201cuncharted territory\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of Maine\u2019s Climate Reanalyzer platform shows new daily records have been set for sea surface temperatures since around mid-March last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February, it was revealed the Earth had recorded land surface temperatures above the 1.5C Paris Agreement target for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we are seeing is extraordinary, and concerning,\u201d Australian National University professor Mark Howden told SBS News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBreaking records continuously over a 12-month or more period is extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howden said the higher than normal ocean temperatures also boosted temperatures over land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are consequently seeing extraordinary temperatures over the land as well, impacting on human health and wellbeing, agricultural production, water availability, economic productivity and the environment to name just a few of the affected domains,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile back in the real world, while much of the USA swelters in a heatwave<\/a>, other places are experiencing cold weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brrr-itish summer: why is it so cold and when will it get warmer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below-average temperatures and rain may feel more miserable because heatwaves are now seen as the norm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the water coolers to the WhatsApp groups, the question remains the same: what has happened to the British weather, and is there any sign of summer hiding in the forecasters\u2019 models?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halfway through an unseasonably cold<\/a> June, a shift is already under way. But that doesn\u2019t mean it is time to break out the barbie. Having endured chill winds blowing down from the north, the shift in weather will bring warmer, if not quite warm, temperatures, and with it, sporadic downpours and even thunderstorms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels like quite a contrast from last year when we were all experiencing a heatwave with about 30C temperatures in south-east England,\u201d says Dr Matt Patterson, a climate physicist at the University of Reading. \u201cIt\u2019s not like that this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperatures in Siberia dip to minus 56 Celsius as record snow blankets Moscow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOSCOW, Dec 4 (Reuters) \u2013 Temperatures in parts of Siberia plummeted to minus 56 degrees Celsius (minus 69 degrees Fahrenheit) on Monday while blizzards blanketed Moscow in record snowfall and disrupted flights as winter weather swept across Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Sakha Republic, located in the northeastern part of Siberia and home to Yakutsk, one of the world\u2019s coldest cities, temperatures fell below minus 50 C, according to the region\u2019s weather stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all of Sakha is located in the permafrost zone. In the region\u2019s capital, Yakutsk, which lies some 5,000 km (3,100 miles) east of Moscow, the temperature was around minus 44 C to minus 47 C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s record heat and heavy rain raise food security concerns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

China is grappling with extreme weather as severe drought and record temperatures scorch the north while heavy rains inundate the south, raising concerns about food security in the world\u2019s second-largest economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Areas of the country that produce a lot of rice and wheat have been badly affected, disrupting spring and summer planting seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Agriculture said Thursday that drought and heat have had an adverse impact on the planting season in some northern and central provinces, and it warned that temperatures were expected to surpass 35 Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Melbourne recorded it coldest day in five years yesterday, parts of south-east Australia today have shivered to their coldest maximum in up to 27 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chilly weather is part of a prolonged cold outbreak which will last another week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the lowest maximums today include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
