A substantial stratospheric cooling event is now being observed.

But... but, GLOBAL WARMING!?!

Kilauea's last eruption was 1983-2018.
THATS 35 YEARS NONSTOP , and has been building
an 800 foot deep lava lake for the last year

then theres all those EXPLOSIONS the u.s. military been doing
for the past 200+ years blasting dirt and chemicals hi up..
and everyone elses nuclear tests as well..

and nearly EVERY OIL WELL LEAKS NATURAL GAS
especially fracking wells and we cannot even smell it..

one day the fuel/air ratio will be correct and the air itself
will ignite and you will see cyclones, and tornados of FIRE
all across the globe... especially during a nuclear WAR..

will surely ignite a few wells, and destroy tons of chemical
stockpile storage areas leaking into lakes and catching on fire
(already happened from spilling chemicals )
yes, the WATER will catch on fire ...The Cuyahoga River Caught
on Fire at Least a Dozen Times from dumping of sewage and
industrial chemicals
The Chicago and Buffalo rivers also repeatedly caught fire.
So did Michigan’s Rouge River.
so we started sending those chemical companies overseas
to places like bhopal india where Union Carbide disaster was

will make wildfires look small... sometimes nightmares come true

a massive ancient volcanic eruption created most of russia
have a nice day

Just giving a heads up,. Important to know and be prepared.. US and Europe potentially in for an extremely cold winter..

A substantial stratospheric cooling event is now being observed over the Southern Hemisphere following a massive injection of water vapor. Strong cold anomalies are being detected in the stratosphere over Southern Hemisphere. The anomalous cooling results from the water vapor coming from the January Hunga Tonga eruption. Cooling on this scale has not been seen in modern satellite records, so this is a significant event.

Promise? Because I hate summer. I'm 62 and have always hated summer. I can't wait for the cool or cold to hit.

unfortunately its the southern hemisphere so it won't help us any.

Seems to be contradictory. The OP states the US and Europe. Then they state Southern Hemispheres.

Which one is it?

Well, when we're dealing with fake news it tends to be very vague and contradictory.

The fact is that there was a massive volcanic explosion and it injected a ton of crap into the atmosphere. Because it was mostly sub-oceanic, it did not inject the usual crap, but it certainly injected enough that it ought to be impacting the weather because it affected the atmosphere.

The problem is that they don't know how it will do so. They only know it ought to do so. So they can't yet tell if it will be warmer or colder or some mix in between.

This has been a pretty nice summer up here in the U.P of Michigan, we actually got some decently warm days up into the eighties this year but Lake Superior is still cooler than it has been the last five years.

They can keep the hot weather down south. The storms have been missing us here too, only hail one time here this year so far...knocking on wood.

That was what sparked some controversy over if it was an actual volcanic eruption or if it was a meteor impact. I saw the video in question by satellite and it looked like something flashed across the screen and impacted the area. For weeks after they played up the early warning tracking capability they have to monitor close earth approaches of space objects.
I think it was a meteor impact.

I read local newspaper information on August weather. It was " The hottest August on record". Now in our section of PA, it has bee very hot and dry. More dry than hot, we're in a drought at this point. But the high temperature was only 97 degrees, not a record high temp. July temps did not hit 100. This marks three years in a row summer temps have not hit 100 degrees.
So what was causing them to call this the hottest August on record. Well, they've begun highlighting LOW temperatures as determining temperatures. I don't know if they never looked at that before or not, but night temperatures are now used to determine overall temperatures. And depending on where they're getting their data from, there are areas that are heat wells. Areas of blacktop and macadam, around buildings. I've felt heat radiating up from parking lots and roads on summer evenings while taking a walk. I have felt heat radiating from brick buildings at the same time.
And do they use this data to determine winter low temperature? If they're only looking at high temperatures to determine overall temperatures and not using low temps like they do for highs, then the data they present is inherently skewed.

As small as it was mout saint Hellen’s eruption in the 80s made things much colder for a few years.

It is supposed to get up to 116 degrees here today, with likely rolling blackouts

It's determined by the average temp across the whole month. Not the highest temp on any given day.

Across a season it's possible to have the hottest (or coldest) day on record and yet the season as a whole be colder (or hotter) than usual. In theory, this could even happen just in a given month (though less likely).

I'm not sure what gas guzzlin' trucks or electric vehicles have to do with a volcanic eruption shooting water vapor into the stratosphere thereby causing a disruption in the polar vortex causing a colder winter.

But... I'm right there with ya.
