Wild Weather, the Wobble Effect

"We warned at the start of ZetaTalk, in 1995, that unpredictable weather extremes, switching about from drought to deluge, would occur and increase on a lineal basis up until the pole shift. Where this occurred steadily, it has only recently become undeniable. ZetaTalk, and only ZetaTalk, warned of these weather changes, at that early date. Our early warnings spoke to the issue of global heating from the core outward, hardly Global Warming, a surface or atmospheric issue, but caused by consternation in the core. Affected by the approach of Planet X, which was by then starting to zoom rapidly toward the inner solar system for its periodic passage, the core was churning, melting the permafrost and glaciers and riling up volcanoes. When the passage did not occur as expected in 2003 because Planet X had stalled in the inner solar system, we explained the increasing weather irregularities in the context of the global wobble that had ensued - weather wobbles where the Earth is suddenly forced under air masses, churning them. This evolved by 2005 into a looping jet stream, loops breaking away and turning like a tornado to affect the air masses underneath. Meanwhile, on Planet Earth, droughts had become more intractable and deluges positively frightening, temperature swings bringing snow in summer in the tropics and searing heat in Arctic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity."

Portugal forest fires claim at least 57 lives with 18 people 'incinerated' as they are trapped in their cars

• The the devastating forest blaze broke out on Saturday in central Portugal 
• 59 people are injured, 'many' people are still missing and homes are ruined
• Portugal has had temperatures of up to 40C with wind and lightening storms which have fuelled the flames
• Some 600 firefighters have been fighting the blaze, helped by Spanish rescuers
• It is possibly the deadliest-ever single forest to rage through the country

At least 57 people are now known to have died and 59 people are injured in the devastating forest fire in Portugal.

At least 18 people died while trapped in their cars as flames swept over a road, in what the prime minister has called 'the biggest tragedy of human life that we have known in years.' 

It is possibly the deadliest ever single forest blaze to hit Portugal.

Flames rise during a forest fire in Pedrogao Grande, Leiria District, Center of Portugal. At least 57 people have been killed, including many people who were trapped in their cars as flames swept over the road 

Of the 59 people injured, four are in a serious condition, and four firefighters and a child are all injured. 

Teams of psychologists have been deployed to care for survivors, who are 'in shock' and have lost relatives.

The blaze has been described as 'almost impossible to control' and emergency services have spoken of a 'horrible scenario'. 

Firefighters work to put out a forest fire near Bouca, in central Portugal. The forest fires have already claimed 39 lives, 59 people are injured and at least two people are missing

A lightning strike is believed to have sparked the blaze in the Pedrogao Grande area after investigators found a tree that was hit during a 'dry thunderstorm,' the head of the national judicial police told Portuguese media.  

The death toll is expected to rise further during the day as 'many' people were said to be still missing. 

A man stands on the roadside watching a wildfire at Anciao, Leiria, central Portugal. The wildfire has killed at least 43 people and injured 16 others, many of them burning to death in their cars, the government said today

Several roads of Pedrógão Grande have been cut off as firemen still battle the blaze on four different fronts, fanned by the heat and wind. 

The Pedrógão Grande area is 50 km (30 miles) south-east of Coimbra, a UNESCO world heritage site and university town popular with tourists and international students.  

It is not yet known if any British people have been impacted by the deadly blaze. 

The updated death toll was released today by Jorge Gomes, the secretary of state for internal affairs, having climbed from the 19 initially announced dead late yesterday.

Portuguese National Republican Guard firefighters work to stop the fire from reaching the village of Avelar at sunrise today. 16 people died in their cars when fire reached the road

'We are facing the greatest tragedy of human victims of recent times by a disaster of this type,' said the Portuguese prime minister, António Costa.

Dry thunderstorms - which it is now believed are responsible for fueling the fire - are frequent when falling water evaporates before reaching the ground because of high temperatures. 

Portugal, like most southern European countries, is prone to forest fires in the dry summer months.

'This is a region that has had fires because of its forests, but we cannot remember a tragedy of these proportions,' said Valdemar Alves, mayor of Pedrogao Grande. 'I am completely stunned by the number of deaths.'

Authorities had previously said that 40 C (104 F) heat in recent days might have played a part in the inferno about 150 kilometers (95 miles) northeast of Lisbon.  

A huge wall of thick smoke and bright red flames towered over the top of trees near houses in the wooded region. Local resident Isabel Brandao told The Associated Press that she had feared for her life.

'Yesterday we saw the fire but thought it was very far. I never thought it would come to this side,' she said. 

'At 3:30 a.m., my mother-in-law woke me up quickly and we never went to sleep again. We were afraid the fire would reach us.'  

The European Union has activated its civil protection efforts to help fight the fires. EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides said the 'EU is fully ready to help'

Prime Minister Antonio Costa said that firefighting crews were having difficulties in approaching the area because the fire was 'very intense.' He added that Portuguese authorities were working on identifying the victims and that Spanish rescuers would assist in efforts to control the blazes.

Portugal's civil protection agency, which coordinates the firefighting efforts, issued a warning of the increased risk for forest fires in Friday. Citing the high temperatures, it said that all outdoor fires were prohibited. 

At least 16 people died in their cars on a road between the towns of Figueiro dos Vinhos and Castanheira de Pera - an inland area with many hotels and holiday resorts. 

18 people are currently confirmed as having died in their cars.

Interior Ministry official Jorge Gomes said that three others died from smoke inhalation in Figueiro dos Vinhos.

The blaze broke out on Saturday afternoon in the municipality of Pedrógão Grande, central Portugal. 

'Many' people are said to be missing and homes have been destroyed.

Portugal has been experiencing soaring temperatures of up to 40 degrees and this, coupled with the wind, has been fueling the flames.

Efforts are now being made to confirm the identity of the victims. 

The European Union has activated its civil protection efforts to help fight the fires.

EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides said the 'EU is fully ready to help'.

He said Spain and France are both sending aircraft to help fight the flames.

Portugal's soccer team has expressed its condolences for the victims of forest fires that have claimed at least 57 lives. The team's players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and coach Fernando Santos, signed a statement saying 'in this sad hour we send our deepest sympathies to the families, friends and loved ones of the victims of the fires'

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy tweeted that he is 'overwhelmed by the tragedy at Pedrogao Grande. The Portuguese people can count on our solidarity, support and care'. 

Pope Francis has led thousands of people in a moment of silent prayer for the victims of the Portugal fire.

Francis referred to the 'devastating fire' at the end of his Sunday prayer, delivered from his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square.

The crowd fell silent and Francis bowed his head to recall the 'many victims' of the blaze.

Francis visited the Portuguese shrine of Fatima last month.

The team's players, including star Cristiano Ronaldo and coach Fernando Santos, signed a statement saying 'in this sad hour we send our deepest sympathies to the families, friends and loved ones of the victims of the fires.'

Portugal's team is in Russia, where it is set to start the Confederations Cup later on Sunday against Mexico.

Biblical sandstorm changes day into night across Punjab, Pakistan killing 7 as 195 km/h winds devastated rural areas

On June 10, 2017, a biblical dust storm disrupted life in the entire Punjab province with powerful winds reaching 195 km/h (121 mph).

The apocalyptic sand storm killed 7 people, injured about 70 and destroyed homes, knocked down billboards, trees and power lines, cutting power supply in most of the rural areas for more than a day.

Dawn reports that a minor girl died crushed down by the walls of her house. Two students were killed after the minaret of a mosque collapsed on them. Another died electrocuted, while another one crushed by the huge hoarding of a multinational company. In total, at least 7 died, six in Bahawalnagar district alone.

Another 70 people have been injured by the massive weather anomaly in Pakistan / India.

Honduras – Deadly Floods in Choluteca After 190 mm Rain in 24 Hours

Two people have died and over 250 forced from their homes after flooding in Choluteca Department, southern Honduras.

A yellow level alert for heavy rain was issued on 10 June for the southern and western departments of Choluteca, Valle, Lempira, La Paz, Intibucá, Santa Bárbara, Copán and Ocotepeque.

Rainfall warnings in Honduras. 

National Permanent Commission of Emergencies (COPECO) says ravines flooded and rivers overflowed in the city of Choluteca on Saturday 10 June.

The city recorded 83.2 mm of rain in 24 hours to 10 June, with 68.0 mm falling in just 6 hours. During a 24 hour period between 10 and 11 June, Choluteca recorded 190.6 mm of rain.

Over 100 houses have been damaged and 10 totally destroyed. As many as 253 people have been displaced and 554 have been affected by heavy rain and floods in the 9 neighbourhoods of the city.

COPECO also reported two deaths as a result of the severe weather in the department. One death occurred in Choluteca when a man attempted to cross a flooded ravine. A fatality in Talanga was caused by a tree falling on a house.

COPECO has delivered humanitarian aid to around 500 people who were affected by the floods.

Many of those evacuated were housed in local buildings such as churches in the neighbourhoods of San Francisco del Palomar, La Providencia and Sampile.

The city has a population of around 100,000 and sits on the river Choluteca River in the south of the country between El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Storms Leave 165,000 Without Power in Minnesota and Wisconsin

 

More than 100,000 homes were without power Sunday morning after storms lashed central Minnesota and western Wisconsin with heavy rains, hail and strong winds. 

Xcel Energy reports that the fast-moving storm, which felled trees and power lines in communities throughout central Minnesota, initially affected 132,000 households, most of which were in the Twin Cites metro and St. Cloud areas. 

The utility company says more than 500 people were dispatched Sunday to repair outages, adding that by mid-day 45,000 households had their power restored. Still, around 88,000 households remain without power. 

By 9:30 p.m. Sunday, Xcel reported nearly 131,000 customers had their power restored. Around 34,000 households were still without power as of Sunday night. 

Xcel said some customers could be without power for multiple days. 

The severe weather started overnight in the Dakotas before pushing east into central Minnesota, dumping heavy rain and up to tennis-ball-sized hail. Wind gusts whipped up to 70 mph. 

The front edge of the storm system slammed directly against the Twin Cities metro, felling trees and power lines. Cars and homes were hit with debris, and authorities reported fires believed to be caused by lightning strikes. 

Streets in many communities were flooded with rainwater. In several places, mounds of hail could be seen floating on the floodwaters like small icebergs. In Coon Rapids, so much hail fell that streets had to be plowed. 

Meteorologist Mike Augustyniak says the storm could likely have caused more than $100 million worth of damage in the Twin Cities. 

Outside the metro, WCCO viewers sent in images of mangled grain bins and farming equipment. One dairy farm in Pennock, in west-central Minnesota, says the storm destroyed its barns, leaving its cows and heifers homeless. 

While the storm moved through Minnesota in just a few hours, it pushed into western Wisconsin, prompting tornado warnings. Just last month, a tornado killed a man at a trailer park in Chetek. 

As clean-up and damage assessment gets underway, efforts could be hindered by storms Sunday evening. 

The National Weather Service says that afternoon and evening storms could develop, again hitting the metro area and southeastern Minnesota with strong winds and hail.

Weather in Cape Town is going out of control: 8 dead during worst winter storm in 30 years

Weather in Cape Town is going out of control.

The worst winter storm in 30 years is currently hitting South Africa’s province of Western Cape and the Cape Town metropolitan area with powerful winds, huge waves and coastal flooding, frequent lightning, heavy rain and snow at higher elevations. It has already killed 8 people and we are not close to an end.

Massive winter storm hits Western Cape, South Africa on June 7, 2017. 

Wind gusts in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) brought destruction across the region. Around 700 structures in Cape Town have been affected by flooding. Thousands of people are now homeless.

The storm killed at least 8 people and injured many. A lightning killed a family of four ater striking their home in Kraaifontein:

The worst storm to hit the region in 30 years brought Cape Town and neighboring cities to a standstill on Wednesday morning.

At the same time, a massive wildfire is spreading through Southern Cape, forcing evacuations and road closures. 3 people died in flames in their homes in Rheenendal, today.

The storm came amid the worst drought the region has seen in more than 100 years, but experts predict it will take at least 3 wet winters to replenish drinking water supplies.

Here is the relationship between the Jet Stream and the STORM cells

2 June 2017 -

Bad weather: the profile of today's afternoon thunderstorms is given by Jet Stream

http://www.meteoweb.eu/2017/06/ecco-la-relazione-tra-le-jet-stream-...

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&...

We have repeatedly noticed that currents at 7000 meters (Jet Stream) can determine the weather conditions on the ground. We have an example today.

Just look at the image of the afternoon at 15.50 pm in which Italy is seen a lot of thunderstorms. Storm cells, especially those formed on Sardinia but not only, are all very elongated, synonymous with their particular intensity.

To observe the elongation direction well, it coincides exactly with those of the arrows on the radar image, the arrows that indicate the Jet Stream.

Here's how you can notice how bad weather lies exactly in the direction expressed by currents at altitude.

Moreover, the same Jet Streams are of high intensity, the stiffer stretches of the cells are stronger and therefore the level of their intensity is even more marked.

Water, Water Everywhere - US Drought Conditions Hit Record Low

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-11/water-water-everywhere-us-...

After reaching record drought conditions just a few short years ago (with over 60% of the nation more than abnormally dry), the USDA's Drought Monitor site shows that the second-wettest April on record has shrunk the area of the U.S. suffering from drought to a new low of less than 5%.

As Bloomberg reports, the milestone was mentioned in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s monthly report Wednesday on American farm production and may bode well for crop yields.

According to the gauge, there’s an “extreme drought” in south-central Florida and it’s “abnormally dry” in parts of the Southwest.

The map also shows the grain and soybean belt from Iowa to Ohio looks to have plenty of soil moisture -- maybe even too much in flooded areas -- as the growing season moves into full swing.

Summer Snow in Lapland Prompts Ski Resort to Reopen (Jun 5)

The skiing season ended in Northern Lapland in mid-May, but the weather there is still so cold and snowfall so frequent that the Saariselkä resort will reopen its slopes, which are currently up to a metre deep in snow.

May 2017 will go down as one of the coldest spring months on record in Finland, and in Lapland the beginning of summer has been the second-snowiest in the Meteorological Institute's recorded history.

The situation has lead the Saariselkä ski resort in Inari to reopen its skiing slopes, weeks after the official season ended.

"We're all set in terms of snow, more will even fall this week," says ski centre manager Jarmo Katajamaa. "We are glad to offer our customers this unique post-season possibility."

Early June has been unusually snowy even for Lapland, and at Saariselkä the drifts are 50-100 cm deep.

Local hotels have taken the reopening into consideration by offering bargain packages in June.

The winter skiing season officially ended on May 14th at Saariselkä this year.
