mercedo's Journal: Regional Cooling

Global warming, but regional cooling here in the East Asia. We have had unusually snowy days for these five or six days -apparently colder than last year, and in some area adjacent to the Sea of Japan, many areas have been affected by recordbreaking snowfall. Here my city -Fukuoka aka Yahoo! City is also regarded as adjcent to the Sea but since a little bit located at south, we have't seen lots of snowfall though.

Global warming, but that would destroy an overall climate balance and bring about a regional extreme unbalance, eventually that might bring a spot regional cooling that hit our area as the coldness in this winter.

This is to be expected

intensification of climactic variation between regions - so some places will become quite a bit colder,
intensification of climactic variation between seasons - so winters in general will become colder, relative to summers,
and
intensification of climate variation from year to year - so your weather might be record-breaking mild next year. This is especially true while the climate is unstable or in flux.

Both in the Unite States and in Japan, in this summer we had an unusually lots of tropical low pressure systems-hurricanes and typhoons respectively, with a lot of precipitations. People were easy to notice that they were a clear sign of the result of global warming. The warmer the water of sea evaporates, the more the cloud that will bring rain on the ground comes up with.

In winter the rain turns to snow, of course it's cold, colder than last year, but above all things, we have had a lot of snow -precipit
