"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 Artic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity."

ZETATALK

 

From the ZetaTalk Chat Q&A for February 4, 2012:

 

The wobble seems to have changed, as the temperature in Europe suddenly plunged after being like an early Spring, Alaska has its coldest temps ever while the US and much of Canada is having an extremely mild winter. India went from fatal cold spell to balmy again. Has the Earth changed position vs a vs Planet X to cause this? [and from another] Bitter cold records broken in Alaska - all time coldest record nearly broken, but Murphy's Law intervenes [Jan 30] http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/01/30/bitter-cold-records-broken-in-alaska Jim River, AK closed in on the all time record coldest temperature of -80°F set in 1971, which is not only the Alaska all-time record, but the record for the entire United States. Unfortunately, it seems the battery died in the weather station just at the critical moment. While the continental USA has a mild winter and has set a number of high temperature records in the last week and pundits ponder whether they will be blaming the dreaded "global warming" for those temperatures, Alaska and Canada have been suffering through some of the coldest temperatures on record during the last week.

There has been no change in the wobble pattern, the wobble has merely become more severe. Nancy noted a Figure 8 format when the Earth wobble first became noticeable, in early 2005, after Planet X moved into the inner solar system at the end of 2003. The Figure 8 shifted along to the east a bit on the globe between 2005 and 2009, (the last time Nancy took its measure) as Planet X came closer to the Earth, encountering the magnetic N Pole with a violent push earlier in the day. But the pattern of the Figure 8 remained essentially the same. So what changed recently that the weather patterns became noticeably different in late January, 2012?

The N Pole is pushed away when it comes over the horizon, when the noon Sun is centered over the Pacific. This regularly puts Alaska under colder air, with less sunlight, and thus the historically low temps there this January, 2012 as the wobble has gotten stronger. But by the time the Sun is positioned over India, the N Pole has swung during the Figure 8 so the globe tilts, and this tilt is visible in the weather maps from Asia. The tilt has forced the globe under the hot air closer to the Equator, warming the land along a discernable tilt demarcation line.

The next loop of the Figure 8 swings the globe so that the N Pole moves in the other direction, putting the globe again at a tilt but this time in the other direction. This tilt is discernable in weather maps of Europe, again along a diagonal line. Depending upon air pressure and temperature differences, the weather on either side of this diagonal line may be suddenly warm or suddenly cold. The tilt and diagonal line lingers to affect much of the US and Canada, but the Figure 8 changes at this point to be an up and down motion, pulling the geographic N Pole south so the US is experiencing a warmer than expected winter under a stronger Sun. Then the cycle repeats, with the magnetic N Pole of Earth pushed violently away again as the Sun is positioned over the Pacific.

 

From the ZetaTalk Chat Q&A for April 6, 2013:

 

Would the Zetas be able to let us know what is causing the early break-up of the Arctic Ice, the ice seems to have taken on a swirling pattern at the same time, would this be wobble related? [and from another] http://www.vancouversun.com/news/national/Canada+Arctic+cracks+spec... The ice in Canada’s western Arctic ripped open in a massive “fracturing event” this spring that spread like a wave across 1,000 kilometres of the Beaufort Sea. Huge leads of water – some more than 500 kilometres long and as much as 70 kilometres across – opened up from Alaska to Canada’s Arctic islands as the massive ice sheet cracked as it was pushed around by strong winds and currents. It took just seven days for the fractures to progress across the entire area from west to east. [and from another] http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=80752&src=iot... A high-pressure weather system was parked over the region, producing warmer temperatures and winds that flowed in a southwesterly direction. That fueled the Beaufort Gyre, a wind-driven ocean current that flows clockwise. The gyre was the key force pulling pieces of ice west past Point Barrow, the northern nub of Alaska that protrudes into the Beaufort Sea.


The Figure 8 formed by the N Pole during the daily Earth wobble has shifted somewhat to the East, due to Planet X positioned more to the right of the Earth during its approach. This was anticipated, and well described in ZetaTalk, the Earth crowding to the left in the cup to escape the approach of Planet X, so the angle between these two planets would change slightly. This shift of the Figure 8 to the East is due to the push against the Earth’s magnetic N Pole occurring sooner each day than prior. Thus instead of occurring when the Sun is high over the Pacific, over New Zealand, it is now occurring when the Sun is high over Alaska. All the wobble points have shifted eastward accordingly.

This has brought a lingering Winter to the western US, and a changed sloshing pattern to the Arctic waters. Instead of Pacific waters being pushed through the Bering Straits into the Arctic when the polar push occurs, the wobble is swinging the Arctic to the right, and then later to the left, creating a circular motion in the waters trapped in the Arctic. Since the Earth rotates counterclockwise, the motion also takes this path. This is yet another piece of evidence that the establishment is hard pressed to explain. They are attempting to ascribe this to high pressure and wind, all of which are not new to the Arctic, but this circular early breakup of ice in the Arctic is new.

Baked Alaska: Average spring temperature of Last Frontier state hits highs of 32 degrees – shattering the previous record set in 1998

  • NOAA says Alaska for the first time in its modern climate record averaged 32 degrees for March through May
  • That surpassed by 2 degrees the previous 1998 record
  • The record high for January through May also was exceeded
  • The agency says temperatures in the first five months averaged 26.1 degrees
  • That's 2.5 degrees higher than the previous record of 23.7 set in 1981

No one calls springtime in Alaska balmy but the state this year saw record high spring temperatures, it's been revealed.  

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said on Wednesday: 'For the first time in its modern climate history, Alaska's average spring temperature hit 32.0 degrees F, breaking a record set in 1998.'

That surpassed by 2 degrees the previous 1998 record.

NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) said online: 'As was the case through April, Alaska's year-to-date average temperature was record warm.

'This year's January-May value of 26.1°F was 10.3°F above the 1925-2000 average and 2.4°F higher than the previous record of 23.7°F set in 1981.

'The last three January-May periods have been three of the four warmest on record for Alaska.'

According to NCEI's website, 'Alaska had its second warmest May on record with a statewide temperature of 44.0°F, 6.0°F above average and 1.0°F shy of its May record set last year.'

Extreme Weather Putting a Damper on Outdoor Music Festivals (Jun 9)

Music festival organizers have increasingly been presented with the unexpected challenge of extreme weather.

Last weekend alone, several music festivals were evacuated because of severe weather, including Field Trip at Toronto's Fort York National Historic Site. Others, including New York City's Governors Ball, cancelled portions of their festivals.

In Germany, more than 70 people were injured after lightning struck the Rock am Ring festival, headlined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Black Sabbath — whose show was cancelled.

Torrential rain and intense thunderstorms have caused many evacuations and cancellations during Canadian festivals over the past few years. High winds have also led to festival stage collapses: one in 2011 at Ottawa Bluesfest; the other in 2009 during Alberta's Big Valley Jamboree where one person was killed.

Maud Salvi, the executive director of Calgary's Sled Island music festival, said bad weather can be grim news for festival management. Her festival is still partially recovering from 2013, when it was cancelled halfway through because of the Calgary floods.

In 2013, Sled Island gave its festival pass holders the opportunity for a refund. Fortunately, 70 per cent of pass holders didn't ask for their money back.

Other festivals have been washouts as well. Calgary's X-Fest, which is presented by Live Nation, was cancelled last year due to heavy rain.

The Hillside Festival in Guelph, Ont., has had its fair share of extreme weather. In 2014, the festival had to cancel shows and close a few hours early after a tornado touched down about an hour away from the festival site.

Marie Zimmerman, who is now Hillside's executive director, was in the crowd that night as a ticket holder.

"I was extremely worried, of course, that, you know, something would short or blow up," she said. "It struck me at the time as extremely dangerous, because the rain came down so quickly that people had barely time to respond."

"There are storms, though, that appear to come out of nowhere. Almost like Zeus arrives and decides that he's going to throw a few thunderbolts down," she said.

Later that weekend, there was another close call with a lightning strike at the music festival.

The risk of extreme weather is growing, said Jeff Kienapple, a vice-president with Arthur J. Gallagher in Ontario who specializes in risk management and commercial insurance.

"Severe weather has become a major problem," he said. "The insurance industry is reeling with extreme weather patterns … this is a new reality for festivals really across the country and across the world."

"This is a relatively new phenomenon, but it's a phenomenon that's going to be with us for a while."

Blasted 80 people at the Rock Am Ring festival
GERMANY

News - Published Sunday, June 5, 2016 by The Weather Channel-- LA CHAINE METEO

The rock festival and Metal Rock Am Ring was disrupted by violent storms and severe flooding. 80 people were injured by lightning on Friday night, look at the images of the video elements.

Germany is affected by extremely violent storms for a week and the weather conditions will remain dangerous on the center of the country all next week. It is in this context that had held one of the largest in Europe Festival, Rock Am Ring, which was forced to cancel his last day of concerts, that of Sunday.

The festival acceuillait this weekend the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath, Volbeat, Deftones, Billy Talent, Bring Me The Horizon and many others. But at a concert Friday night, a "Superbolt" (enormous lightning) hit a group of people about 80 festival-goers were injured by the spread of electricity.

You should know that the power is transmitted very well from one body to the other especially when they are in the water, a very good conductor of electricity (the festival were in the mud). 15 people were reported in a "serious condition", and many of them had to be resuscitated after cardiac arrest

After repeatedly interrupted concerts in the last three days, the authorities decided to cancel the final day on Sunday because of persistent thunderstorms. The festival organization has also asked farmers in the area to clear festival of cars from the mud and water with their tractors.

During its history, the festival has often been confronted with bad weather: last year, thirty people had been struck by lightning.

Two people are dead and five injured as violent storms and floods lash the east coast of Australia - with people in Sydney and Brisbane warned to 'stay at home' and 'the worst is yet to come'

  • Australia's east coast was hit by wild weather with flooding and gale force winds on Saturday 
  • Damaging winds were forecasted with peak gusts that could reach more than 90km/h and up to 250mm of rain
  • The entire NSW coast was put on flood watch for what meteorologists believe is the first time in 30 years
  • Queensland Police confirm that two people have died in a Brisbane car accident during the severe weather 
  • Parts of the Vivid Sydney lights festival will not go ahead on Saturday as wild weather poses a threat to public safety

Two people are dead and five injured as violent storms lashed Australia's east coast on Saturday, causing widespread damage and flash flooding to New South Wales and Queensland during the first weekend of winter.

The eastern states woke to horrendous storms on Saturday morning with gale-force winds and heavy rain forcing the Bureau of Meteorology to issue severe weather warnings, including a flood-watch for the entire New South Wales coast - the first in 30 years.

The extreme system is being blamed as a possible cause of a horror smash near Ipswich, west of Brisbane, that claimed the life of a man and woman on Saturday morning when an out of control truck jack-knifed and ploughed into a mini-van.

The driver of the van died at the scene on the Warrego Highway while his female passenger died in hospital later in the afternoon. The truck driver escaped serious injury and was taken to hospital.

The River Seine has risen by five meters (16 feet) in Paris, flooding the French capital. The city has warned that the river could rise to 5.6 meters (18.4 feet) above its normal level by the end of the day, and has forecasted that it should crest tomorrow at just under 6 meters (19.7 feet).

Rail operator SNCF was forced to close an underground commuter line running along the Seine in Paris that is frequently used by tourists traveling to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral.

According to an internal email written to employees and seen by Reuters, the landmark Louvre museum closed its doors on Thursday and will not open on Friday in order to allow staff to easily remove works of art if needed.

The museum will remain closed to the public tomorrow out of precaution: there is no danger to the public or our staff but will allow us to calmly remove certain art collections should it be necessary,” the email states.

Meanwhile, the Musee d’Orsay said it would close earlier than usual on Thursday. 

In the Loire valley, the Chambord Castle – a Unesco World Heritage Site dating back to the 1500s – has been surrounded by water.

Speaking during a visit to a crisis control center in flooded Nemours, where 3,000 of the town’s 13,000 residents have been evacuated, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said: “The situation remains tense and difficult in several areas. We still have many concerns.

At least one person in France has died due to the flooding, as an 86-year-old woman was found dead in her house southwest of Paris late on Wednesday.

Heavy rains have also affected other parts of Europe, with six days of downpours leading to the death of eight people in Germany.

Five people dead as parts of Europe see worst flooding in 100 years: Parts of Britain colder than Christmas Day


Photo euractiv.com 

  • At least five people died on Wednesday in flooding across France, Austria and Germany
  • In many places the water reached five metres above street level.
  • Floods in France are the worst since 1910. 
  • Parts of Britain are colder than on Christmas Day yesterday
  • More flooding on the East coast of England
  • A month's rain fell in six hours in parts of the UK.
The inhabitants, surprised by the sudden flooding, had to be rescued by helicopter.
At least five people died on Wednesday in flooding across France, Austria and Germany, authorities say. Search teams in the Bavarian town of Simbach am Inn found the bodies of three people who had been trapped in a house and a woman was found dead by a nearby stream.
In central France an 86-year-old woman lost her life.
Dozens of towns have been inundated and people have been saved by helicopter.
Forecasters say waters are expected to keep rising for several days, reports the BBC.
The departements of Loiret and Seine-et-Marne to the south and east of the capital Paris were placed on red alert by weather service Meteo France due to the dangers caused by flooding.
The service asked the public to avoid any kind of travel in the affected areas unless it was absolutely necessary.
Nemours resident Sylvette Gounaud told Agence France-Presse: "In 60 years of living here, I've never seen this.
The centre of town is totally under water.
All the shops are destroyed."

Central France has seen some of its worst flooding in 100 years.
The Loiret area received the average rainfall of six weeks in three days.
The rising waters wreaked havoc on Tuesday as the A10 motorway, which links Paris and the south west, was flooded and has to be closed at St-Arnoult-en-Yvelines.
Around 650 vehicles were left blocked by the rising waters with around 200 motorists having to be transported in army trucks to the city of Orleans, which itself has been badly hit by flooding.
In Paris, the river Seine burst over walkways, prompting authorities to set up a crisis team.
On Tuesday the height of the river reached 3.8 metres at Austerlitz and is expected to rise even further throughout Wednesday and Thursday.
Authorities however have played down fears the floods will be as bad as the flood of the century of 1910.
Boats continued to navigate the river, but if the water level rises past 4.3 metres then river traffic will be halted.
Heavy rains in parts of Germany and Austria stranded people on rooftops and left water lapping at the doors of one of the Loire Valley's most famous chateaux Wednesday.
In one incident in southern Bavaria, emergency services rescued 20 members of a school group when a boat trip on the Regen river ran into trouble with strong currents sparked by a sudden storm, authorities said.
On Bavaria's border with Austria, firefighters and other emergency services were dispatched to stricken towns where roads and bridges were cut and some residents had to seek refuge from the waters on rooftops.
"The floods came so quickly that people had to escape to the roofs of their houses," a spokesman for the Lower Bavaria regional police said, adding that many streets were submerged.
In the town of Triftern, around 200 schoolchildren bunked down in their school, preparing to spend the night on Wednesday.
A town spokesman said the school building itself was out of danger as it was on higher ground.
Just over the border in Austria, heavy rain lashed the Salzburg region, flooding several roads and forcing several schools to announce closures for Thursday.
The floods were also declared an emergency in the historic town of Passau, on the border with Austria, the scene of massive flooding three years ago.
In nearby Pfarrkirchen more than 35 litres of water per square metre fell in the space of six hours on Wednesday, according to the German meteorological office.
More thunderstorms are forecast for southern Germany, and water levels on some rivers are predicted to rise further still.
Meanwhile Parts of Britain are colder than on Christmas Day yesterday as our meteorological summer begins in the only way we know how – with clouds and rain. Maximum temperatures were just 14C in the South East today, compared to 15C on December 25 last year, and it’s not getting any warmer tomorrow.
Meanwhile there is a flood alert along the Yorkshire coast from Skipsea to Whitby with 40 knot gusts expected to cause overtopping waves.
Temperatures have plunged thanks to a system advancing across Britain yesterday, while an onshore breeze is blowing in from the North Sea.

15 killed as rain, windstorms wreak havoc in parts of country

RAWALPINDI/PESHAWAR: Massive rain and windstorms on Wednesday evening hit Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Peshawar, Lahore and some other parts of the country, killing at least 15 persons as walls and roofs collapsed while billboards and trees were uprooted. As many as 75 persons were also injured in the windstorm.

Electricity vanished in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad and most parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after some pylons fell due to the storm.
