Why have we gone from heat wave to freezing overnight?

[Seth1968]

Ya, it seems obvious. The Earth's axis in relation to the furnace.

But that system is slow and gradual, yet, temperature and wind variations are often drastic from 1 day to the next.

What is the cause?

Summer had a lot of bug flatulence. you can imaging what kind of heat that produces. Bugs are dying due to lack of light and food. No more farts, no more heat.

It's all due to anthropogenic climate change. This drastic swing in short term weather is proof that we need to close coal plants, raise the price on carbon and tax the rich ever more drastically. Join me comrades!

Its the prairies. We dont have a giant body of water to moderate temperatures.

Sorry, too busy smelling my own farts in my jacked up F 350

What you talking bout Willis? Two nights of almost zero is realistic for Sept, its already back to global warming this week.

I wasn't referring to climate change.

I'm referring to drastic temperature changes that occur almost instantaneously. I understand all about air front temperature explanations, but I'm wondering what causes that particular variable to change so quickly. I mean, it's not as if the Earth's axis suddenly changed, or there was some drastic geological change.

You don't "understand all about air front temperature explanations", because that's the whole explanation.
