Media feature Climate Reanalyzer map in reports on North America’s cold blast
The University of Maine Climate Change Institute’s Climate Reanalyzer was featured in a Vox article about North America’s recent cold weather. Temperatures on the East Coast have been in the teens and 20s, and temperatures in the Midwest have been hovering near zero Fahrenheit, according to the article. Temperatures are expected to continue to drop through the start of the new year. The cold weather is extreme for this time of year, the article states. The Climate Reanalyzer map posted with the article shows the cold snap also is unusual because most of the world is warmer than average for late December. The Climate Reanalyzer also was featured in articles related to President Trump’s tweets about the cold weather and global warming by The Associated Press, The Atlantic, The Hill, CBS News and HuffPost. The Portland Press Herald carried the AP report.
