1922 Record Heat In May – Glaciers Melting

“PARIS, May 24.—Paris today experienced the hottest May day in 116 years, the thermometer hitting 94 1-10 degrees Fahrenheit in the | Shade at 3:45 o’clock this after- noon. This city was one of many | European capitals to experience a similar heat wave ‘that began | sweeping western Europe five days ago.

The heat here generated a peculiarly stifling haze, although the sky was blue throughout France. The weather bureau predicts continued heat, with possibly an even higher temperature tomorrow.

The usually crowded streets were thinly peopled at noon today and there were noticeably few women on the boulevards. The cafes and beer gardens, however, did a land- office business.

|GENEVA, May 24.—The heat wave in the Alps region has broken a ninety-year record for the month of May, the thermometer at a number of points today registering $0 degrees Fahrenheit. Snow and glaciers are melting rapidly and the Rhine and Rhone rivers are rising.

An avalanche released by the heat destroyed an Alpine club- | house, it was reported today, on | the summit of Mount Ferginkogel, | 7.000 feet above sea level.”

Outdated Books

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

– George Orwell, 1984

Erasing The Abnormal Warmth

The abnormal warmth which rapidly melted glaciers during the first half of the 20th century has been erased by NASA.

“Glacial retreat high in the Austrian Alps marks the abnormal warmth that prevailed in the first half of this century. By 1940, the confiuence of the glaciers Hintereisferner and Kesselwandfernerhas broken. Where ice once lay 650 feet thick, only a small tongue of Hintereisferner appears at far left in 1956, nearly a mile from its farthest advance.”

Climate Change: Global Temperature | NOAA Climate.gov

“Drought, floods, the failure of monsoons and the run of hard winters are all evidence. they say, that the world has come to the end of a spell of even-tempered weather which began in about 1910 and lasted until about 1960. This period has even been called “a little tropical age” by one of the more quotable of climatologists. Professor Reid Bryson. What follows the tropics could be harder to live with — weather more typical of the 19th century or even of the “little Ice Age “which lasted between 1430 and 1850”

Extreme Earth And Space Weather Of 1859

“The coldest daytime ever experienced in New York City (and throughout New England for that matter) occurred on January 10, 1859”

Extreme Weather – Google Books

“The year 1859 was another exceptional year. In October the thermometer registered 110° in the shade, and in December occurred the most remarkable precipitation of rain ever known in the county. It was estimated that one foot of water fell within twenty-four hours. The rivers overflowed the lowlands, doing considerable damage. The starving cattle and sheep, unsheltered from the pitiless rain, chilled through, died by thousands during the storm. Large tracts of the bottom lands were covered with sand and sediment.”

EXCEPTIONAL YEARS: A HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA FLOODS AND DROUGHT

11 Oct 1859, 3 – Daily National Democrat at Newspapers.com

“The Santa. Barbara Sirocco,—A. Santa Barbara correspondent of the Phare, a French paper published in San Francisco, speaking of the late burning day down there, says:

‘At one o’clock in the afternoon of the 17th last., a burning wind came upon us from the northwest, and smote us with, terror. At two o’clock the thermometer exposed to this wind rose to 133 degrees of Fahrenheit; at five o’clock it had fallen: to 122-deg., and at seven o’clock it stood at 77 deg., where it had been in the morning.

“A fisherman who was out at sea came back with his’ arms” all’ blistered.. Many calves, rabbits and birds died of suffocation.
“ The greatest.losses: are among the vegetables ; the fruit trees are all burned ; the pears and apples have been literally cooked.”
