BTW; did America get the predicted cold weather?
...even Death Valley is breaking all time 'cold' records (while Seattle simultaneously breaks record highs).

Meanwhile, it is topping 100 degrees in Latvia…?

Latvia recorded its highest-ever daytime temperature on Monday, with mercury in the usually nippy Baltic republic hitting 37.8 degrees Celsius (100.4 Farhenheit) in the western port city of Ventspils, state meteorologists confirmed.

The city also saw a record-breaking 36.9 degrees Celsius on Sunday, topping a previous high of 36.4 degrees set in the south-eastern city of Daugavpils [west, and 100 miles south of Ventspils] in 1943.
...at the same latitude as Kodiak Island, Alaska!

So it all averages out, in the end; nothing new to see here, right?
