Summer Climate Forecast Update- July 2012
Back on March 12th, I had made a climate prediction about this summer. Much of my forecast was based on the current year corresponding to the same solar cycle period as years 1999-2001, a year or so before the solar cycle sunspot maximum. See my climate prediction at this link.
The current solar cycle maximum is less than two years away. While this solar maximum will be significantly lower than the previous two cycles, and while we are coming off of a significantly lengthy solar minimum, it's my opinion that this coming spring and summer will approach the very dry and hot summers we had in 2000-2001. Expect much above average normal temps and little rainfall.
In fact, by next Fall, I think we will be hearing the word "drought" in the news.
The extreme temperatures we're experiencing and the increasing drought conditions seems to be verifying. I expect the rest of the summer and early fall to continue to set temperature records, and we will be increasingly dealing with a drought situation. Why the news media avoids the clear connection between the solar cycle and high temperatures/drought escapes me. But superimposing greenhouse gases related global warming with the solar maximum effects appears to present a major impact on our planet's climate.
