“February heat at 38°C is shocking. It’s a clear sign we need to act now to protect our planet and its people. Let’s push for sustainable solutions together!”
India records temperatures over 38C during February about once every 2.5 years. Southern India is close to the equator and the sun is nearly directly overhead this time of year.
Not surprisingly, Peter Dynes has me blocked. He wouldn’t want facts to interfere with his red maps.

SOME great world change is taking place on the Antarctic Continent. Its glaciers are shrinking. Commander L. A. Bernacchi, who visited the South Polar land 30 years ago, says that the Great Ice Barrier which fronts the continent with a wall of ice for 250 miles has receded at least 30 miles since it was first seen and surveyed. Sir James Ross, who went out on the earliest Antarctic expedition of the nineteenth century, and those who followed him, left clear descriptions of this tremendous ice frontage and its position. It was a cliff 150ft. high and 1000ft. thick. But now it appears to be continuing its century-long process of shrinking; and that process may have been going on for centuries. “

“Hottest January on record”
This is different from what they were saying fifty years ago.
“Space satellites show new Ice Age coming fast
snow and ice cover of the earth increased by 12 per cent during 1967-1972”
The percent of days above freezing so far this year in the US has been 6th lowest on record, and lowest since the record cold year of 1979.
But Grok 3 won’t acknowledge the cold until it hears it from the government.
“Without finalized data for February 2025 (NOAA typically releases monthly summaries mid-March), we can’t confirm if the U.S. is experiencing record warmth this month.”
On January 18, 2022, NPR predicted record low Great Lakes ice cover. Two weeks later ice coverage was above average.

Lake Erie ice cover now is close to 100%, which has only happened a few times in the past.
