Rare African snowfall blankets desert
Parts of the south-west Africa nation of Namibia usually associated with heat and dust have been blanketed in snow.
"A storm brought sub zero temperatures and snow to the Namib-Naukluft Park this week, which local forecasters have described as an extremely rare event. The average overnight temperature, measured from Tuesday 18h00 until 06h00 Wednesday, was a record low of 2.1 degrees Celsius. According to namibiaweather.info, the lowest temperature recorded by weather stations on Tuesday was minus 7.8 degrees Celsius, just south of Waterberg in the Otjozondjupa Region. The cold conditions are expected were expected to ease Thursday. The Namib-Naukluft National Park is a national park of Namibia encompassing part of the Namib Desert (considered the world’s oldest desert) and the Naukluft mountain range. The Namib-Naukluft is the largest game park in Africa and the fourth largest in the world."
Meanwhile Lapland and parts of Russia, 200 miles above the Arctic Circle are having the highest temperatures ever. 30C in Lapland, and 31.1C in one case near Padun, Russia. That's 88 degrees F. So get this straight, the day that it snowed in the world's oldest desert, temps reached 88 in the High Arctic Circle. Topsy turvy!

People have been brainwashed to believe in global warming so they'll just write this off as that and nothing else. This is thoroughly amazing though. The signs and wonders are becoming bigger now. It's so cool to watch all this go down!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'd like to see the global warming folks explain global warming in Lapland AND cooling in Namibia- at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous-- it's so cool to watch these signs and wonders just taking off!! Wow. I wonder how much bigger they'll get before it's time for us to go home?
ReplyDeleteYes, Elizabeth, I'd like to see that, too. Now that would be a "wonder!" ;)
