WASHINGTON (AP) — Earth's heat is stuck on high.
Thanks to a combination of global warming and an El Nino, the planet shattered monthly heat records for an unprecedented 12th straight month, as April smashed the old record by half a degree, according to federal scientists.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's monthly climate calculation said Earth's average temperature in April was 58.7 degrees (14.8 degrees Celsius). That's 2 degrees (1. 1 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 20th century average and well past the old record set in 2010. The Southern Hemisphere led the way, with Africa, South America and Asia all having their warmest Aprils on record, NOAA climate scientist Ahira Sanchez-Lugo said. NASA was among other organizations that said April was the hottest on record.
The last month that wasn't record hot was April 2015. The last month Earth wasn't hotter than the 20th-century average was December 1984, and the last time Earth set a monthly cold record was almost a hundred years ago, in December 1916, according to NOAA records.
"These kinds of records may not be that interesting, but so many in a row that break the previous records by so much indicates that we're entering uncharted climatic territory (for modern human society)," Texas A&M University climate scientist Andrew Dessler said in an email.
At NOAA's climate monitoring headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina, "we are feeling like broken records stating the same thing" each month, Sanchez-Lugo said.
And more heat meant record low snow for the Northern Hemisphere in April, according to NOAA and the Rutgers Global Snow Lab. Snow coverage in April was 890,000 square miles below the 30-year average.
Sanchez-Lugo and other scientists say ever-increasing man-made global warming is pushing temperatures higher, and the weather oscillation El Nino — a warming of parts of the Pacific Ocean that changes weather worldwide — makes it even hotter.
The current El Nino, which is fading, is one of the strongest on records and is about as strong as the 1997-1998 El Nino. But 2016 so far is 0.81 degrees (0.45 degrees Celsius) warmer than 1998 so "you can definitely see that climate change has an impact," Sanchez-Lugo said.
Given that each month this year has been record hot, it is not surprising that the average of the first four months of 2016 were 2.05 degrees (1.14 degrees Celsius) higher than the 20th-century average and beat last year's record by 0.54 degrees (0.3 degrees Celsius).
Last year was the hottest year by far, beating out 2014, which also was a record. But 2016's start "is unprecedented basically" and in general half a degree warmer than 2015, Sanchez-Lugo said.
Even though El Nino is fading and its cooler flip side La Nina is forecast to take hold later this year, Sanchez-Lugo predicted that 2016 will end up the hottest year on record for the third straight year. That's because there's a lag time for those changes to show up in global temperatures and because 2016 has started off so much hotter than 2015, she said.

It takes the Sott people a couple weeks to put their reports together. I am not always timely about passing them on and for that I apologize. This is the global extreme weather report for Aug 2016

Breaking Now!!! ENTIRE STATE of South Australia Blacked Out!!!
"Catastrophic outage due to perfect storm"
As of today, storms have blacked the entire State out due to Cyclone.
Unprecedented Outage in Australian history!
Premier blames it on the fact that they have base loads of 40% based on Wind power turbines that cannot run during extreme weather...
Royal Adelaide hospital down without backups working.
[snip]
All of South Australia is without power as a storm front lashes the state, SA Power Networks has said.
Paul Roberts from SA Power Networks said the authority was investigating the issue.
External Link: Michael Coggan tweet: Scary going through intersections #SApowerout
"We're obviously still trying to find … out [what happened] but what has happened is that the whole state has been blacked out," he said.
"That's due to some upstream issue with the transmission network, we're not receiving any supply through the transmission network.
"We believe — and this is only early information — that there may have been some issue with the interconnector but the state's power system is shut down I think possibly as a protection.
[end snip]
The last statement in snip refers to redundancies built into an inter-state network, possibly shut down to preserve the infrastructure in adjoining states

"whole state out for another 24 hours... cell phone towers to go down in the next 12"

Solar storm heading towards Earth threatening to break your Sky TV and mobile phones
Modern-day Britain could go into meltdown after scientists forecast the solar storm to hit between now and Friday which could wreak havoc with technology.
Solar storms affect Earth’s technology as radiation is thrown at the planet from the Sun.
While humans are protected from the radiation by the atmosphere, the rays can heat the outer atmosphere, causing it to expand which can affect satellites in orbit. That could lead to a lack of GPS navigation, mobile phone signal and satellite TV such as Sky.
Furthermore, higher currents in the magnetosphere – the Earth’s magnetic field – could lead to a surge of electricity in power lines, which can blow out electrical transformers and power stations leading to a temporary loss of electricity in a region – although this usually only occurs in areas that are in high altitude.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says a coronal hole has opened on the Sun, leading to a stream of solar particles hurtling towards Earth.
According to SpaceWeatherLive: “The magnetic field of a coronal hole is different than the rest of the Sun. Instead of returning to the surface, these magnetic field lines stay open and stretch out into space.”
As a result, Earth is expected to be hit by a swarm of particles in the coming days which, on a better note, could cause the Northern Lights to be visible.
Mauro Messerotti, from the University of Trieste the National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF) warned that the hole “extends for about 30 per cent of the disk of the sun” and that the structure “may persist for more than a month because these holes sometimes last for more than one full rotation of the sun, which lasts 28 days.”

A HUGE solar storm is heading towards Earth which could leave us without mobile phones, satellite TV and even electricity.
GEOMAGNETIC STORM TODAY: As predicted, a high-speed stream of solar wind is buffeting Earth's magnetic field today. Since it arrived on Sept. 27th, the stream has sparked G1- and G2-class geomagnetic storms and bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. NOAA forecasters say the storms could intensify on Sept. 28th as the stream reaches peak speeds in excess of 700 km/s. High-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for auroras.
