... "The Hong Kong Observatory reported a minimum temperature of 16.4C (61.5F) in Tsim Sha Tsui, the lowest reading in May since 1917 (The Centennial Minimum), and breaking the previous record-low from 2013 of 16.6C (61.9F).
Meteorologist Leung Wing-mo, a former assistant director at the Observatory, said such a low temperature in May was “rare”, and was about 7C lower than the average minimum temperature of 23.3C (74F).
“Under global warming, cool weather in May will be rarer, while hot weather will be more common, which we are worried about,” said the ‘expert’. “So cold weather in May is in fact a good sign.”
The chill hasn’t been confined to Hong Kong, either; the month of May has commenced with low temperature records falling across southeast Asia. Serving as just two examples: on May 1, the mercury dropped to -6.3C (20.7F) at Sumakawa in Japan and +1.7C (35F) at Munsan in South Korea — both new record lows.
Argentina Freezes
Checking in with South America –a region of the world crucial for this season’s grain crops (with Ukraine/Russia offline and te U.S. suffering extensive planting delays)– Argentina, like SE Asia, is also suffering an intense spell of cold. Hard frosts were observed in Southern and Central areas of Argentina on May 1.
As a result, a myriad of new monthly low temperature records have been set, including Maquinchao’s -11.2C (11.8F); San Antonio Oeste’s -6.8C (19.8F); Puerto Madryn’s -5.2C (22.6F); and Trelew’s -3.9C (25F).
Argentina’s freeze is further bad news for the nation’s crops, particularly corn, which, in early May, is at a crucial stage of growth.
April In Antarctica Finished -3C Below 1958-2021 Average
Preliminary data for stations across Antarctica are in for April 2022, and it was anomalous-cold one. April at the South Pole Station finished approx. -2C below the multidecadal norm. While a -3C anomaly was noted at the infamous Vostok station against the 1958-2021 mean.
Antarctica’s April chills continue the unmistakable cooling trend witnessed over the past few years: If you want proof of MSM obfuscation you need look no further than their bogus reporting of Antarctica."
