United Arab Emirates with all-time temperature record: Abu Dhabi, -2,0°C

Extreme Siberian winter in one of the hottest places in the world!

In Raknah, Abu Dhabi area, was on 9. January 2021 measured freezing -2,0°C – a new United Arab Emirates all-time temperature record! /https://gulfnews.com/uae/weather/watch-video-of-icicles-in-abu-dhabis-raknah-area-lowest-temperature-in-uae-recorded-at–2c-1.1610194882560/

Weather watchers from the country immediately took incredible photos from rare frost event.

Frosts in desert regions in southern latitudes such these are an evidence of the effect of extreme blocking pattern across hemisphere, which has started with planetary records of air pressure in areas of Siberian high and Aleutian low /https://mkweather.com/2021/01/01/10943-hpa-mongolia-with-the-highest-measured-air-pressure-on-earth-in-history/; https://mkweather.com/2021/01/01/the-most-broken-circulation-on-earth-in-history-aleutian-low-921-hpa-equal-to-a-category-5-hurricane-deepest-within-all-time-records//.

They are an evidence of the next – long-term phenomena in Northern Hemisphere for last decades, an Arctic Amplification. Arctic air is during outbreaks such this pushed from Arctic into southern hemisphere and every year is this process more aggressive.

It appears, that next decades, not only subtropical, but too tropical latitudes should be prepared for surprising winter conditions thanks to similar extreme circulation hemispherical events, such as current anomalous SSW-driven pattern.
