An analysis of data show that the Cologne-Bonn airport hasn\u2019t had a single real heat wave so far this summer, as was the case in most places in Germany.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExperts\u201d predicting a \u201csummer of hell\u201d are proven wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, there is no standardized international definition of the term heatwave. Definitions are often based on a combination of percentile-based threshold values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) defines a heat wave as a period during which the daily maximum temperature exceeds for more than five consecutive days the maximum normal temperature by 5 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of summer, climate alarmists predicted Germany would likely see a \u201csummer of hell\u201d with extreme heat waves and misery for Germans. Today we look back at this prediction, using data from the Cologne-Bonn airport weather station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cologne-Bonn airport is located right smack in the middle of Europe, and the following chart depicts the daily high temperatures<\/strong> recorded there this summer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the temperature very briefly peaked over 30\u00b0C a few times this summer, there was never a protracted period of heat extending over days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having hit 33\u00b0C and 29\u00b0C on August 11 and 12 respectively, the temperature peaked at a balmy high of 34\u00b0C on August 13th. But then the temperature rapidly cooled off the next day, reaching a high of just over 24\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary: the summer of 2024 in Cologne didn\u2019t see a single extended period of extreme heat, unless. that is, you call 3 days above 28\u00b0C a heat wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the case across much of Germany. Granted, some German cities perhaps experienced warmer periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing is sure: the \u201csummer of hell\u201d in Germany predicted earlier by Marc Benecke<\/a> has now been exposed as just a plain-stupid climate horror story, probably intended to scare the FridaysForFuture kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
