"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.

Nine dead as ICE STORMS batter Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas and cause travel chaos for millions heading home after the Thanksgiving weekend

  • Forecasters said a band of storms will leave Texas but will likely dump more freezing rain on parts of Oklahoma and Kansas
  • The National Weather Service says the storms causing icy conditions in Oklahoma and Kansas are expected to last through Saturday night 
  • Temperatures are expected to be above-freezing in the region on Sunday 
  • Thousands of people are without power as accumulated ice downed power lines 
  • The storm will make conditions difficult for millions of people heading home on Sunday after the long Thanksgiving weekend 

At least five people have died in accidents related to a ice storm in Kansas and Oklahoma and another three people were killed in North Texas flash floods.

The band of storms moving slowly through the nation's midsection is set to leave Texas but will likely dump more freezing rain on parts of Oklahoma and Kansas.

The National Weather Service says the storms causing icy conditions in Oklahoma and Kansas are expected to last through Saturday night. 

Temperatures are expected to be above-freezing in the region on Sunday. 

Saturday's forecast shows rain in many areas - and there is still a severe threat of freezing rain tonight

One person is still missing. Thousands of people are without power as accumulated ice downed power lines.

Meanwhile, with up to four inches of rain expected in northeast Texas and central Arkansas, a flash flood threat continues in North Texas and most of Arkansas. 

More rain is forecast on Sunday from Texas to the Mid-Atlantic states. Freezing rain is expected in southern Nebraska and central Kansas.  

Authorities in Kansas are blaming four more traffic deaths in the Wichita area on the icy conditions gripping the state and other parts of the nation's midsection.

Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton says icy roads caused a Friday afternoon crash about 10 miles southeast of Newton that killed two people. 

The Kansas Turnpike Authority says two other people were killed hours later when a tractor trailer jackknifed on an icy stretch of Interstate 35 near Andover and struck an SUV.

Freeze frames: Russia’s Far East hit by icy tempest (PHOTOS)

© libra.anna
Russia’s Far Eastern port city of Vladivostok has been hit hard by gusts of freezing wind reaching speeds of 25 meters per second causing sea water to freeze over anything the giant waves touched.

This Thursday Vladivostok’s port turned into a giant slushy machine as sea water mixed with sand started freezing under gusts of cold wind in subzero temperatures. 

Although locals took it as a photo opportunity and flooded social media with impressive shots, the tempest had its consequences: trucks were banned from crossing the city’s Russky Bridge, some power cables came down and electricity supplies weren’t restored in certain areas even by Friday, some parked cars got damaged, not to mention car accidents on slippery roads, the wind tore down roofing, a bus stop and overturned some kiosks. 

No casualties have been reported so far although a video posted on-line shows a girl who apparently fell, thrown by the strong wind. She is lying on her side on the pavement, holding her head. The video was filmed at the Far Eastern Federal University, on Russky Island.

Addu City suffers worst floods in 40 years

Addu City suffers worst floods in 40 years

Southern Addu City has suffered the worst storm damage in 40 years after 12 continuous hours of torrential rain left streets inundated and flooded some 200 households.

“This is the worst flooding I’ve seen in decades. The water is knee-deep in most areas, and a majority of houses are under a foot of water,” saud Abdulla Thoyyib, the deputy mayor.

The Feydhoo and Maradhoo-Feydhoo wards suffered the most damage. According to the Maldives Red Crescent, some 32 houses in Feydhoo and 11 houses in Maradhoo-Feydhoo suffered major damage. A majority of household appliances were destroyed, a spokesperson said.

Residents are now worried of water contamination as sewers are full and overflowing. The city, home to some 20,000 people, and the second most populous region, is out of chlorine, according to Thoyyib.

The Maldives National Defence Forces have set up water pumps in the three worst affected wards. Sand bags have been piled up to stop water entering into 17 houses in the Feydhoo ward.

The rain, which started at 3pm on Tuesday, continued for 12 hours. The department of meteorology recorded 228mm of rain, the worst in 40 years in the Maldives.

“This kind of rain is not common and it has damaged houses that are normally safe,” Thoyyib said.

Photos shared by the MRC show a foot of water inside some households.

1 Dead after Floods in Saudi Arabia, Qatar sees 1 Year of Rain in 1 Day

Seasonal storms brought heavy rain to Qatar and central and eastern parts of Saudi Arabia on 25 November 2015.

Doha, Qatar, recorded more than a year’s worth of rain in one day. One person has been reported as killed in the floods in Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia in what is the third deadly flood event to hit the country in the last 4 weeks.

Saudi Arabia

The state-run Saudi Press Agency reported earlier today that seasonal storms brought heavy rainfall in central and eastern areas of the country, causing severe flooding in Riyadh and Al-Qassim Regions.

Saudi Arabia civil defence report that 1 person has died in the floods in the province of Rimah, Riyadh Region, which is located about 120 kilometres north-east of the capital Riyadh.

Schools have been closed, roads blocked and in some cases flooding has forced drivers to abandon their vehicles. Saudi Arabia civil defence say they have responded to dozens of emergency calls. The city of Buraidah, Al-Qassim Region, is reported as one of the worst hit.

This is the third deadly flood to strike in Saudi Arabia in the last few weeks. Floods struck in Jeddah, Makkah and other western parts of the country on 17 November 2015, leaving as many as 12 dead. Six people died in floods that struck in late October.

Qatar

Parts of Qatar, including Doha, also saw heavy rainfall and floods. Qatar Meteorology Department say at least 80.8 mm of rain fell at Hamad International Airport in Doha, the highest ever recorded at that location and more than Doha would typically see in a whole year.

According to WMO figures, 3.3 mm is the typical monthly average for November and the total yearly average is around 75 mm.

The floods caused major problems for drivers. Qatar’s Interior Ministry warned drivers of the dangers of driving in floods and severe weather. No deaths or injuries have been reported in Qatar.

Some flooding was reported at Doha’s new $17 billion Hamad international airport. Social media photos and videos showed water pouring in from a leaking roof. However, flights were operating normally despite the weather conditions.

UN: Weather disasters occur almost daily

Full report Relief Web

Weather-related disasters such as floods and heat waves have occurred almost daily in the past decade — nearly twice as often as two decades ago — and Asia is the hardest-hit region, the United Nations said in a report released Monday.

While the report’s authors didn’t pin the increase wholly on climate change, they said extreme weather events were likely to increase.

Weather disasters have killed 606,000 people and left 4.1 billion injured, homeless or in need of aid, and have accounted for 90 percent of all disasters since 1995, the report said.

A recent peak year was 2002, when drought in India affected 200 million people and a sandstorm in China affected 100 million. But the standout mega-disaster in the report was Cyclone Nargis, which killed 138,000 in Myanmar in 2008.

While geophysical events like earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis often grab headlines, they only make up one in 10 of the disasters trawled from a database of events defined by their impact.

The report, titled “The Human Cost of Weather Related Disasters,” found an average of 335 weather-related disasters annually between 2005 and August 2015 — up 14 percent from 1995 to 2004, and almost twice as many as in the years from 1985 to 1994.

“While scientists cannot calculate what percentage of this rise is due to climate change, predictions of more extreme weather in future almost certainly mean that we will witness a continued upward trend in weather-related disasters in the decades ahead,” the report said.

The release of the report comes a week before world leaders were set to gather in Paris to discuss plans to curb greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate a global rise in temperatures.

The U.N. has said atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas blamed for global warming, have risen to a new record every year for the past 30 years.

“All we can say is that certain disaster types are increasing. Floods are definitely increasing,” said Debarati Guha-Sapir, professor at the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters at UCL University in Louvain, Belgium, which co-authored the report.

“Whether it's increasing due to global warming, I think it's safe to say the jury's out on that. But rather than focus on the ifs, whys and wherefores, I think we should focus on how to manage floods.”

Margareta Wahlstrom, head of the U.N. Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), said floods were not just caused by heavy rains but also by poorly planned construction.

The UNISDR estimates natural disasters of all types cause losses of $250 billion-$300 billion globally each year.

The report drew on a database of weather events that defines an event as a disaster if 10 or more people are killed, if 100 or more are affected, if a state of emergency is declared or if there is a call for international assistance.

The countries hit by the highest number of weather-related disasters over the past decade were the United States with 472, China with 441, India with 288, the Philippines with 274 and Indonesia with 163. Source: america.aljazeera.com

Three simultaneous polar vortex in America, Europe and Asia

News - Published Sunday, November 22, 2015 by The Weather Channel - la chaine meteo

This weekend marks several simultaneous winter offensives in North America, Europe and China.

http://actualite.lachainemeteo.com/actualite-meteo/2015-11-22-10h54...

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

The jet stream, high altitude wind, experienced this weekend three major waves: one in North America, the Western Europe and Asia.

These oscillations of the jet stream, called "polar vortex", causing cold air raids south. Thus, a major snowstorm affected the Great Lakes in North America: Chicago has undergone in the night from Saturday to Sunday the biggest snowstorm in 100 years for the month of November with 41 cm of snow. More than 500 flights were canceled.

In Western Europe, the cold air raid caused a winter time in France and a violent storm in the Mediterranean. The temperature dropped to -32 ° on Mont Blanc (4750 m in altitude). In Denmark, the snow falls since last night with accumulations of 25-40 cm on the East Coast.

In China, the temperature plunged to -15 ° in Beijing and did not thaw at least before December 5, or 10 degrees below average (however indicate that Beijing has a continental climate with harsh winters).

These offensives cold do not allow however to consider a harsh winter, especially since a rapid thaw is expected this week in the United States and Europe.

The polar vortex plunges to France

News - Updated Saturday, November 21, 2015 by The Weather Channel - LA CHAINE METEO

The polar vortex, the term was widely publicized during cold waves that affected the United States in recent winters, will experience a stall from the Arctic and plunges towards France.

This is actually a "stall" the jet stream, the wind blowing at high altitudes and contains polar air at high latitudes. Sometimes the jet stream is diverted from its usual trajectory (from west to east) and dips to the south: this is what happened during cold spells occurred in North America in recent years .

A chill of short duration

Thereafter, the cold air mass will cut its Arctic power on Tuesday, the Jet Stream resuming his usual traces (from the west).

Season's first snow is Chicago's largest November snowfall in 120 years

Photo gallery: Winter weather
Chicago gets its largest November snowfall in 120 years

The season's first snowfall dropped as much as 17 inches across Chicago's northern suburbs, and the total of 11.2 inches at O'Hare International Airport made it the largest November snowfall in 120 years.

The steady stream of snow began Friday evening and carried into Saturday, bringing cold winds and slushy puddles to Michigan Avenue. But it also fashioned a wintry backdrop to the annual Magnificent Mile Lights Festival, transporting Chicagoans into a life-sized holiday snow globe.

The chill didn't bother the Kendalls, who traveled from Northwest Indiana for the festivities. They stood in Pioneer Court bundled in snow gear, relishing bites of candy-cane-garnished cheesecake as heavy snowflakes plopped onto their noses.

"It rings in the beginning of Christmas season," said Jessica Kendall. "The roads are warm, the snow's melting and we had a nice, wintry drive."




Data: Looking at the winter ahead

The storm hit hardest in the northern suburbs.

Lake County was walloped. By about 2 p.m. Saturday, there were reports of 17 inches in Grayslake, 16.5 in Hawthorn Woods, and 15.5 inches in Mundelein, said National Weather Servicemeteorologist Jamie Enderlen.

McHenry County also was socked, with 13.6 inches in Bull Valley, 12.5 inches in Woodstock and 9.5 inches in Hebron by about 7 a.m. Saturday, according to the weather service.

Communities further south saw less precipitation. Naperville had 6.4 inches of snow as of midafternoon, and Romeoville had 4.7 inches as of early evening, according to the weather service. Batavia had 7.5 inches by late afternoon.

As of about 6 p.m. Saturday, 11.2 inches of snow was measured at O'Hare International Airport, where some airlines reported delays of up to 20 minutes and more than 260 flights were canceled. Midway Airport reported 5.8 inches.

According to the weather service, this was the second-largest November snowstorm, behind only a 12-inch snowfall Nov. 25-26, 1895.

Deadly storms hit Washington state

REUTERS A car sits in the flooded waters of the Stillaguamish River in Stanwood, Washington. 

Seattle - About 185 000 homes and businesses remained without power in Washington state late on Wednesday, after a storm blew down trees and triggered mudslides, killing at least three people, authorities said.

Governor Jay Inslee declared a statewide emergency because of the storm, which left a wide swath of the Puget Sound region under flood watches and warnings.

In the Spokane area of eastern Washington, utility Avista warned it could take three to five days to restore services to nearly 115 000 customers without power. The city closed schools after winds up to 70 mph (113kph) tore through the area.

In Oregon, fallen trees, mudslides and floods shut down roads across the western part of the state on Tuesday night, including a 80km stretch of Interstate 84 that authorities declared impassible into midday Wednesday.

Several other highways remained closed, Washington state police said. 

At least three people were confirmed to have died in storm-related accidents, authorities in Washington state said.

A motorist was killed on Tuesday near the city of Monroe, northeast of Seattle, when a tree fell from a cliff onto his car, said Snohomish County Fire Chief Merlin Halverson.

“Many roads are closed from downed trees, active power lines, flood waters,” Halverson said. “It's a hell of a mess here.”

In Spokane, police said a woman was killed by a falling tree, while another woman died on State Route 904 southwest of the city when a tree struck her car, state police said on Twitter.

Puget Sound Energy, which supplies customers in parts of Seattle and its suburbs, said fewer than 30 000 customers remain without power, down from a peak of 220 000 customers.

To the north, in Snohomish County, the public utility district said about 40 000 customers were without power late on Wednesday, down from 150 000 the night before.

Mudslides and other debris blocked roads.

King County, home to Seattle, reported severe flooding on the Snoqualmie River, moderate flooding on the Green River and minor flooding on the Cedar River.

An airport in Olympia received record daily rainfall of 2.08 inches on Tuesday, the National Weather Service said.

The previous record was 1.61 inches, set in 1959.

8 die as heavy rains lash Kingdom- Saudi Arabia

Wednesday, 18 November 2015

http://www.arabnews.com/featured/news/836891

• Traffic thrown off gear in Jeddah
• Jeddah schools closed today
• Flights delayed

The Mall of Arabia looks like a ship, with roads around it heavily flooded on Tuesday.

EDDAH: Heavy rains and wind lashed Jeddah and other parts of the country on Tuesday, causing the death of eight people, flooding of streets and underpasses, uprooting of trees, and widespread power cuts.
Two people died in the Faisaliyah district when they were electrocuted while clinging to an electric lamppost in a flooded street, while two others were injured, according to reports.

King Abdul Aziz International Airport issued a statement saying that eight domestic flights were delayed because of the inclement weather. One international flight was diverted to Madinah.
With the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment predicting further bad weather until the end of the week, Education Minister Azzam Al-Dakhil announced that schools in Jeddah would remain closed on Wednesday.

Many underpasses were flooded prompting the authorities to shut them. A number of Saudis and expatriates were seen in the streets and alleyways pushing their vehicles out of knee-deep water. Some broken down vehicles whose engines had taken water had been left on the roadsides.

According to the information issued for motorists, there was heavy flooding in Palestine Street, Prince Majed Street underpass, Sari Street at the junction of King Fahd Road, Tahliya Street, Naseem district, Kilo 14 and Kilo 11.

Alaska is so cold that temperatures have plunged to MINUS 24F - 20 degrees lower than normal - and residents are in 'danger of getting frostbite in just one minute' forecasters warn

  • Alaska is in the grip of a deep chill that will last until at least Thursday 
  • The city of Fairbanks was subjected to bitter temperatures of -22F (-30C)
  • Forecasters predict that Monday night is set to be just as cold as Sunday
  • Alaskans are being urged to bundle up from head to toe to keep warm
  • An atmospheric scientist said temperatures could fall as low as -50F (-45C) in the coming days

Alaska is so cold that temperatures have plunged to a chilly -24F (-30C) and residents are in 'danger of getting frostbite in one minute,' forecasters warn.

The state is in the grip of a deep chill that will last until Thursday, despite the fact it is only November.

On Sunday even cities, such as Fairbanks, were subjected to bitter temperatures of -22F. 

In the small community of Bettles - with a population of just 12 - the temperature was -24F early on Monday, according to NBC and The National Weather Service. 

The temperatures are around 20 degrees lower than average for this time of the year.

The state is in the grip of a deep chill that will last until Thursday, despite the fact it is only November

 

Monday night will not be any warmer, forecasters warn, with temperatures likely to stay below zero. 

Kevin Roth, lead meteorologist at The Weather Channel told NBC: 'With these sorts of temperatures, people are at risk of frostbite within a minute of stepping outside, if not less time than that.  

'You've got to be bundled up from head to toe with no exposed skin. 

'With this kind of cold, you walk outside and it really takes your breath away if you're not used to it.'

Wednesday is also going to be very chilly, as the cold snap continues well into the middle of the week.

And, despite the fact that Alaska is known for its cold climate, temperatures are about 20 degrees below average for this time of year, Roth said, adding the state was not expected to go above zero until Thursday. 

Ryan Maue, an atmospheric scientist, tweeted: 'Gets even colder over Alaska by Wednesday morning. Keep an eye out for minus 50 below zero °F readings. Bit chilly.'
