#natgas The current Arctic cold bubble is super charged with ice cold air of -84C in the core (left picture Dec 1, 2022), 15% colder than last year ( right picture Dec 10,2021). The integrated total is 25% higher, which will shape up in a mega winter.

#natgas The Arctic bubble continues to cool down at record pace, now -84C end of Nov. These numbers are rarely seen at its peak in December. As cold air is heavy and sinks to the surface, the bubble swallows warmer air from the oceans (red circle) and grows to a veritable monster

#Natgas By Jan 4, 2023 the frigid cold air will gravitate towards Europe again, whereas North America will get relief. The Arctic bubble is so big and cold that a warm up will not happen, even in NA. The whole winter is likely being exceptionally cold for the Northern hemisphere

You do not need a lot of maths to see that the left picture has absorbed a lot of more cold air than the right picture from last year. Eventually this cold air will be distributed over the Northern hemisphere resulting in a long and cold winter. #natgas

The reason why October/November has been so warm was that the polar vortex is extremely strong and soaks up a lot of warm air from the oceans. This sweeped the continents with warm air travelling to the Arktis. This warm air is now cooled down in the Troposphere to -84C. #natgas

#natgas By Jan 10 the polar frigid air bubble is still compact as the polar cyclone is unusually strong. However, by Jan 18 the polar cyclone loses its grip over the bubble, which disintegrates and large pockets of frigid air are sweeping into California, Nevada, North Africa...

Within two weeks the still strong polar vortex (Jan23 left) completely collapses by Feb8. Last year this happened in mid March, which has been followed by a massive surge in #natgas

Coldest Christmas in 30 years. It is now official. Few believed it. #natgas

🥶 Parts of North America may have their coldest Christmas for 30 years 📉 This follows record breaking temperatures, including a fall of nearly 18 degrees Celsius in 9 minutes in Cheyenee, Wyoming and wind chill values of minus 55°C How may this affect the UK's weather? 👇

#natgas The Arctic bursts with frigid cold air, which breaks out and floods the continents, down deep into Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. This is how an polar air tsunami looks like. As many in the US Southeast still may wonder about the mild winter, they will be surprised soon.

So many 'climate experts' look so desperate now.

#natgas UK electricity prices soared to nearly €1000 per MWh as wind capacity utilisation slumped to 1.44% (only 568MW out of 39.5 GW are operational). 21.9 GW comes from gas. This is the dilemma of renewables. You do not have it when you need it the most

The storage withdrawal of -202 bcf is rather conservative given the forecast Arctic break out around Christmas. This is how a tsunami of polar air looks like. I have never seen anything like this. And we are still in December. #natgas

After the GFS & ECMWF trended colder overnight, I'm now projecting a huge -202 BCF #natgas storage withdrawal for Dec 17-23, easily the largest draw for the week in the last 5 yrs. This is still preliminary & will undoubtedly change as the forecast evolves but, still, impressive.

Basically it says Texas, New Mexico... will have the same temperatures as the North Pole in about ten days. This is not only about demand, yet about supply too.

#natgas Huge snowfall in the Alps. Next week extreme cold is forecast in Europe. It is ice cold in London and the wind is coming from NorthWest. We will see how this turns out.

#natgas As many think current temperatures are extreme, the forecast for Dec 5 looks even more extreme. Average temperatures 8C ( 35F) are coming deep down to Louisiana and Texas, the rest of the US on average deeply below zero C ( 30F).

European weather models flipped in just one day from +23C to far below zero and Arctic outbreak. Weather does surprise. Will $natgas surprise too?

#natgas By Dec 15 the Arctic is overflowing with frigid air and a gigantic cluster (red circle) of frigid air splits from the Arctic circle, increasing the chances for an Arctic mid December in North America.
