Cold, very cold.
You need to look further North.
I suspect a cold southerly won't make Mr Guyton unhappy nor dim nor worrying about the future.
Its not the single southerly,its the persistence.Weather systems have preferred states(called attractors in mathematics) globally the largest system is the antarctic oscillation (aka SAM) where regime changes have significant effects for climate.

"The stark assessment of the climate crisis in the world’s oceans and ice caps concludes that many serious impacts are already inevitable, from more intense storms to melting permafrost and dwindling marine life.
But far worse impacts will hit without urgent action to cut fossil fuel emissions, including eventual sea level rise of more than 4 metres in the worst case, an outcome that would redraw the map of the world and harm billions of people."
is it any wonder Greta is angry
