October 2016 in Norway

A remarkable October.

For the country as a whole, temperature was near the old 1961-90 normal. However, parts of northernmost Norway (mainland) was up to 3.5C above this normal, while parts of SW and Mid-Norway was down to 2.5C below this normal.
October was very dry, only 45 % of precipitation.
The most remarkable was a very strong and long-lasting High, setting a new October record for air pressure, and giving a new national record for sunhours in October.

Driest station recorded 1.5 mm precipitation, wettest station 202 mm.
Warmest station was Ytterøyane with mean 10.8C, avg high 12.5C and avg low 9.3C.
Warmest high was 18.5C at Valldal and the coldest low was -16.9C at Folldal (694 m).

In the Arctic, Svalbard and Jan Mayen recorded the warmest October ever, crushing the old record. Previous record at Svalbard Airport / Longyearbyen was mean 1.4C, new October record is 3.2C (+8.7C compared to normal). A new record high for October was recorded with 10.1C. Bear Island also recorded the warmest October ever with mean 5.1C and did for the first time in recorded history not record any air frost, record low 1C.

Some unusual observations this October:
Longyearbyen / Svalbard Airport was as warm as Lillehammer or Bjørnholt (Oslo city forest, 360 m asl).
Bear Island as warm as Trondheim, Honningsvåg (North Cape) was warmer and had no air frost.
Some stations in Lofoten were warmer than Bergen.

The new national sun record for October was recorded in Trondheim, the old record was from 2003 in Oslo. How cool is that, our first year with a sunrecorder mostly without blocking issues...

After two dull months, October was extremely sunny, with cold nights, the lows in the city not as cold as at Værnes airport. 1536 sunhours so far in 2016.
Normal for October mean was 5.7C using 1961-90 and is 6.1C using 1986-2015.
Værnes in the news recently: The 330 US Marines coming to Værnes in January will meet a winter colder and darker than they might ever have experienced before



Drammen near Oslo



Bergen also sunny and very dry compared to normal


Tromsø (20 m): 24-hr mean 5C, avg high 7C, avg low 3.2C, 67 mm precip, 68 sunhours.

Look at this October in Florida. State is almost all white which means near normal conditions for Mean temps




The rest of what you wrote has nothing to do with the discussion. No one has said that we aren't warming. Your "theory" as to why we are warming goes against mainstream science.

24 days above normal temps this last Oct. I even posted a pic of my weather records for the month. If you buy the man made crap is the cause of run away heating then have at it. Look at these highs and tell me that is anywhere near normal. Keep sticking that head in the sand man.
Here are the hard cold figs for my house.

Normal temps around the last 12 days of Oct is nowhere near 87, It is 81 and my old world numbers were 79 28 years ago. 85 to 89 is way above normal for the last part of Oct. Already this month is way above normal and no chance of the upper levels allowing any real front for a long time.


Just look up the norms for the Tampa area as far as temps go for Oct.

Tampa typically is around 87/71 at the beginning of October and about 82/63 at the end so overall, that data isn't too unusual. Look how cool the 22nd to the 24th were...

This was the wettest October ever recorder in Seattle. It rained twice more than the last 6 months combined!

We used to see temps like that within the first 10 days back in the 70's and 80's and some 40's in Oct. This going a whole month with one front is insane and last Nov breaking record highs day after day into the 90's. This will be a warm Nov as well, but i don't see the crazy highs we got last Nov. Just a blocked flat pattern with almost no rains for about 2 months now.
