Cold Canada: Montreal suffers its Coldest June 03 since 1897, while nearby Ottawa Busts an All-Time Cold Record from 1964
The Arctic air mass lingering over Southeast Canada/Northeast US this week is busy taking names, with Montreal and Ottawa the latest cities to be booked.
Monday’s high of 12.6C (54.7F) will go down as Montreal’s second coldest June 03 ever — beaten only by the 11.7C (53F) recorded way back in 1897.
It was also the city’s coldest June day in 9 years — since June 06, 2010.
Furthermore, if today’s forecast high of 14C (57.2F) plays out, it would be Montreal’s coldest June 05 since records began in 1872 — pipping the top spot currently held by 1927’s 14.4C (57.9F).
Nearby Ottawa, roughly 124 miles to the west, is also breaking low temperature records this week.
Tuesday marked the coldest June 04 in the city’s history.
According to Environment Canada, the temperature at Ottawa Airport tumbled to 3.5C (38.3F) on Tuesday, June 04 — busting the previous all-time record low of 3.9C (39F) set in 1964 (solar minimum of cycle 19).
It’s been a truly frigid start to the week for the region:

COSMIC RAYS, CLOUD SEEDING AND GLOBAL COOLING
Galactic Cosmic Rays are a mixture of high-energy photons and sub-atomic particles accelerated toward Earth by supernova explosions and other violent events in the cosmos. Solar Cosmic Rays are the same, though their source is the sun.
Cosmic rays hitting Earth’s atmosphere create aerosols which, in turn, seed clouds — making cosmic rays an important player in our weather and climate (Svensmark, et al).
During solar minimum, like the one we’re entering now, the sun’s magnetic field weakens and the outward pressure of the solar wind decreases — this allows more cosmic rays to penetrate our planet’s atmosphere.
With this being a Grand Solar Minimum we’re entering, Cosmic Rays should be off the charts — and that’s exactly what researchers are seeing:
Along with an uptick in localised precipitation, increased cloud cover has another major implication for our climate:
“Clouds are the Earth’s sunshade, and if cloud cover changes for any reason, you have global warming, or global cooling,” — Dr. Roy Spencer.
The upshot of our descent into this next Grand Solar Minimum will be a cooling of the planet.

Except for a few, this isn’t known at large. We’re glaciers to return to the Midwest of the USA from Canada and the ocean levels dropped 20 ft, the media would say it was extreme weather caused by an increase in CO2. They’d be right about it being a catastrophe but they’d have the wrong reason.
