As forecast a few days ago, the Indian summer arrived and has departed, at least in these parts. (It’s cold and wet today in Yorkshire).
The ever sensible Paul Hudson, however, points out that the hottest September temperature ever recorded in the UK was 35.6C in 1906!

Much has been written about the “ice age scare” of the 1970’s. But what is clear is that the northern hemisphere had spent three decades getting much colder, and, as the above NCAR report makes clear, the polar ice cap had grown much larger. Many extreme weather events had been connected to these two facts, and one of these was drought in India.
HH Lamb wrote in his book “Climate: Present, Past & Future”
In those parts of N and NW India, near the limit reached by the summer monsoon, Bryson (1973) has noted a corresponding effect, scarcely less threatening to the inhabitants than the 6 year drought from 1968-73 in the West African Sahel.

Red = Version 2 Lower Than Version 1
Blue = Version 2 Higher Than Version 1
Guess what the following graph shows? It makes the minimum dramatically lower (400,000 sq km lower) and the maximum higher so the minimum looks even worse when graphed.
For shame.
