       And NZ especially the South Island is still feeling the effects of the recent Winter cold Antarctic blast over the country. 😉

       More weather woes in store

         This news is also very disturbing. Fortunately if you have a fireplace, you will survive the big freeze by creating some CO2. Fossil fuel or biofuel( wood) optional. Solar panels and wind power are totally useless in this situation. Greenies who don’t burn something will freeze.

   Steve,

   Crazy Alaska Weather Swings from Ice to Fire
   http://news.discovery.com/earth/weather-extreme-events/alaska-heat-wave-130619.htm

   Southcentral Alaska hit four all-time highs on Monday (June 17), ranging between 88 F (31 C) in Seward to 94 F (34 C) in Talkeetna, according to the National Weather Service’s Alaska forecast office. In the southeastern portion of the state, Skagway, a popular cruise ship port-of-call, reached 83 F (28 C), almost as warm as St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. Just about every part of the state was warmer than average yesterday, the NWS said.

   “It’s really much rarer for places in Southcentral Alaska to get as hot as they’ve been getting,” Lawson told LiveScience. “This ridge has been so strong the sea breeze hasn’t been getting a chance to cool us down.”

   The heat wave will continue for the rest of the week, the NWS forecasts. The unusually strong, high-pressure system is intensifying over mainland Alaska, continuing the heat wave. Interior and Southwest Alaska will reach upwards of 90 F (32 C), and Southeast and Southcentral Alaska will see highs in the upper 70s and 80s F (between about 21 and 26 C).

   This week’s warm weather could bring more flooding from melting snow and ice at higher elevations, the NWS has warned. A red flag fire warning, which signals dangerously dry air and possible strong winds, was also issued over the weekend for much of the state because of drier conditions caused by the hot air mass.
