"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.

Bismarck in North Dakota is 25F colder than the North Pole this morning with experts warning its going to be a lot worse next week!


This morning at 9.am UST, Bismarck North Dakota USA recorded a temperature of minus 32.5C, minus 26.5F, which is 25F colder the North Pole which recorded its temperature at minus 17.3C, minus 1F.
These kinds of temperatures are brutal and with the blizzard conditions North Dakota has suffered this week it has been truly treacherous
Brutal cold lingering across the northern Plains thanks to an invasion of Arctic air. On Wednesday night, Dickinson, North Dakota, experienced an AccuWeather Real Feel Temperature® of minus 39, while in Casper, Wyoming, the actual temperature plummeted to minus 33. And it will get worse, if you thought it was cold in the US this week well, next week is going to be even colder as the polar vortex returns to North America. Reuter’s reports, forecasters are sending chills down some spines with a prediction that much of the northern half of the United States could see frigid weather next week similar to life-threatening lows the polar vortex brought to parts of the country in 2014.

How its looking for Canada and the US

Anticipation of a freezing blast began to build this week when weather maps and forecast models showed similarities between next week's system and one that developed in January 2014.
The southward shift in the polar vortex in 2014 brought the Midwest some of its coldest weather in two decades. Icy conditions snarled travel and thousands of flights were cancelled or delayed.
Frigid temperatures combined with gusting winds to create life-threatening wind chills as low as 60 degrees Fahrenheit below zero (minus 51 Celsius) that killed at least nine people.
The coldest weather next week is expected in the Midwest and North-eastern starting around Tuesday, according to forecasts that show temperatures in the single digits in some cities.
"The air mass on the way for the middle of December is likely to be substantially colder when compared to that of this past week and this weekend," AccuWeather meteorologist Paul Pastelok wrote on Thursday.

Temperatures from the Northern and Central plains to wide swathes of the Midwest are likely to drop by between 5 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit compared to temperatures this week, according to AccuWeather.

British Antarctic research station to be moved due to deep crack in the ice

Dormant chasm has opened up and risks cutting the station off from the rest of the ice shelf

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/07/british-antarctic-res...

Britain is preparing to move its research station in the Antarctic 23km further inland because it is under threat from a growing crack in the ice.

The British Antarctic Survey’s Halley VI research station has recorded data relevant to space weather, climate change, and atmospheric phenomena from its site on the Brunt Ice Shelf shelf since 2012.

Sea ice extent in Arctic and Antarctic reached record lows in November

However, due to a growing chasm about 7km (4.3 miles) away that risks cutting the station off from the rest of the shelf, officials have announced that base will have to be moved.

The new site, nicknamed Halley VI A, was identified during in-depth site surveys in the 2015-16 Antarctic summer. Now that winter has passed, the relocation team are preparing to tow the station 23km to its new home using large tractors.

Spain: worst rainfall in nearly 30 years, not recording such a high level since 1989

Woman, 26, drowns after the basement strip club where she worked slowly filled with water as rescue crew tried to smash their way in during horrific Spanish floods 

  • One woman, 26, was found dead in the town of Estepona on Spain's Costa del Sol after rains swept through
  • Police say it is the worst rainfall in nearly 30 years, not recording such a high level since 1989
  • Drivers have to abandon their cars and dogs had to be rescued from a refuge centre in Malaga
  • A red weather warning was initially issued, which has been downgraded to an orange, but rain continues 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3999134/The-rain-Spain-drai...

A horrific video has emerged of firemen and police divers battling in vain to save a 26-year-old woman who drowned inside a 24-hour strip club on the Costal del Sol.

The victim, caught in the flash flooding which has hit tourist resorts in southern Spain, made a desperate call to the emergency services when she realised the water level was rising to a dangerous level and she could not get out.

A passer-by caught the drama on video as Estepona bore the brunt of the freak weather which also hit Marbella, Malaga, Mijas and other towns and villages along this stretch of the coast.

The Spanish Metrological Office (AEMET) reported they were expecting 100 cubic metres to fall between 8pm Saturday and midnight tonight. On the roads several cars have been abandoned and there is heavy flooding in several stretches, including the tunnel in Sabanillas.

The rains have also washed rocks onto the roads.

The rain is set to continue throughout the day until Monday, when the Orange Alert will be downgraded to Yellow.

The city of Malaga and surrounding towns, including the upscale resort town of Marbella, are among the most heavily hit areas. Malaga has a population of around 500,000 residents.

Yes, it snows in Hawaii: More than 2 feet of snow in forecast

Snow at the Mauna Kea summit Friday afternoon.

HONOLULU -- The summits of Hawaii’s Big Island could get more than two feet of snow, with a winter storm warning in effect through Saturday. 

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect through Saturday evening for elevations above 11,000 feet. The summits could get 20 to 30 inches of snow through Saturday,  

An upper level low pressure area has brought the sub-freezing temperatures and unstable conditions. The low will combine with moisture surging in from the southeast, which could result in bursts of heavy snow, especially above 12,000 feet. 

It may be a while before you can see the white stuff up close. The road to the summit of Mauna Kea  is closed at the Visitor Information Station at the 9,200-foot level due to freezing fog, heavy snow and icy roadways. The summit of Mauna Loa is also closed due to high winds and heavy snow. This means hiking and overnight camping is prohibited. The National Park Service said a thick blanket of snow was visible as low as 10,000 feet.

Yes, it snows in Hawaii, Matthew Foster, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Honolulu, said he had to explain to some surprised out-of-state callers Friday. 

“Typically when we get these snow events, it does get a lot of attention,” he said, adding that he explains to curious callers that the snow is falling in a small, remote area where there are mainly telescopes and scientists. “We do have very high mountains here.”

Once they realize the heights of the mountains, snow in the island state makes a little more sense, said Ryan Lyman, forecast meteorologist with the Mauna Kea Weather Center. Mauna Kea is nearly 14,000 feet above sea level. 

The weather service forecasts new accumulations of about a foot of snow Friday night through Saturday. An additional foot is possible Sunday. Temperatures are in the mid-20s to lower-30s. 

That’s a significant amount of snowfall, but not uncommon for the summits, meteorologists say. 

Lyman said there has been 30 to 36 inches in recent winters. 

It’s enough snow to shut down operations on Mauna Kea, Lyman said. The mountain’s access road is expected to remain closed until next week, he said. 

The weather service doesn’t keep track of what the record amounts of snowfall are on the summits. Heavy snow is often accompanied by wind, which create drifts that make it difficult to accurately measure snowfall, Lyman said. 

Abundant snow on Mauna Loa’s 13,677-foot summit could be seen at sunset Thursday from parts of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, said park spokeswoman Jessica Ferracane. 

There was heavy rain in other parts of the state Friday, with a flash flood warning in effect for Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island.

5-meter-high waves, whirlwind & fallen trees as huge storm sweeps Russia's Sochi (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)

© MVPanma
A massive storm has descended on the Russian resort city of Sochi on the Black Sea coast, bringing with it waves so high they've turned Sochi's Olympic village into a huge swimming pool.

Videos posted online showed the waves coming over the barriers on the embankment in Sochi's Olympic village on Saturday. The complex was built for the Winter Olympics, which the city hosted in 2014.

According to news reports, in some areas waves reached the height of up to 5 meters.

Concrete guardrails were reportedly partly broken.

Further from the coastline, it was strong wind that caused most trouble. More than 150 trees have been uprooted, with roads and a railroad having been blocked.

Flights at Sochi's airport have been suspended.

Dozens of cars have been damaged by the fallen trees. In one area, fallen trees damaged a gas pipe and a power line, leaving hundreds of people without gas or electricity. Emergency services are working in the city to deal with the situation.

The storm also created a whirlwind, which reportedly tore roofs off a number of houses.

Yet, some people braved the storm and rushed to the sea, not away from it. Despite emergency services' warnings, they were eager to capture the spectacular sight.

Charlottetown snow records shattered this week

Previous records were set in 1989

These sorts of struggles are unusual for the end of November.

These sorts of struggles are unusual for the end of November.

In fact, there has been a record amount of snow on the ground. Charlottetown Airport broke records on both Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.

Previously, the snowiest end of November/start of December was in 1989. Those records for Nov. 27-29 stand, but 29 centimetres is a new record for Nov. 30 (17 in 1989) as is 32 for Dec. 1 (19 in 1989).

None of the storms this week broke snowfall records on their own, but in combination they have. Three storms brought snow to the Island in the space of five days, and the amount of snow was a surprise to everyone.

"Two of the three [storms] had forecasters scratching their heads on their final tracks, but gave credence to the fact that Mother Nature has a mind of her own," said CBC weather specialist Kevin "Boomer" Gallant.

The early season snow, wet and heavy, has also created challenges for Maritime Electric, which has struggled all week to keep the power on.

Patagonian ice melts as Chile experiences its worst drought on record

3 December, 2016. Chile is experiencing its most extensive drought in history, and this year is set to become its driest in more than 40 years. In the southern region of Patagonia farmers are feeling the pressure as weather patterns change.

2016 is on track to become the warmest year on record while Chile is already experiencing its most extensive drought in history. For a country that relies heavily on its livestock and agriculture, the prolonged natural disaster is cause for concern.

In the secluded rural town of Puerto Prat, situated in Patagonia in southern Chile, 81-year-old sheep farmer Carmen Santana-Flores has been experiencing first hand the devastating effects of the drought. 

"Water has always been a problem, but not like today, now there is total lack of water," she told SBS.

Patagonian sheep farmer Carmen Santana-Flores.

Eighty-one-year-old Patagonian sheep farmer Carmen Santana-Flores says this is the worst drought she has seen.

This year is set to become Chile’s driest in more than 40 years and tops off seven years of continuous drought, and it’s not only livestock that Ms Santana-Flores is losing out on.

"We used to have potatoes and all sorts of vegetables, we planted everything" she said, "you have to buy everything now because you can’t sow in the ground".

A few hundred kilometres away, on a property just outside of Punta Arenas, alpaca farmer Sergio Diaz reminisces on snowfalls of the past.

"It used to snow a lot more, any amount of snow, sometimes up to four metres in height!" he said.

Back in the 1970s, Mr Diaz worked across a number of properties with a variety of animals.

Chile, Patagonia, glacier ice melt

The normally ice cold region is experiencing increasing warm weather and ever shortening winters as a result of climate change.

"The ponds were so full that I would dig trenches for water streams and the cows and sheep would swarm like flies to get their share!"

The farmers are not completely without support, with the Chilean Government's INDAP service, created in 1962 and run by the Ministry of Agriculture, aimed at productive and rural development, helping remote farmers with the delivery of water.

Alpaca farmer Sergio Diaz say in the 1970s, ‘It used to snow a lot more, any amount of snow, sometimes up to four metres in height!’

Both Sergio and Carmen work on properties in the Magallanes region, which is one of the most isolated areas of Chile. It sits in the greater Patagonia, a vast and rugged terrain that encompasses the southern most part of South America and is the closest large landmass to Antarctica.

Here the drought is is also having significant affects on the environment, Patagonia boasts some of the world’s largest glaciers and experts believe the regions vast ice shelves may be starving to death

Patagonia, Chile glacier ice melt

As temperatures continue to rise scientist fear the regions glaciers are doomed.

Nicolás Butorovic, a specialist in academic climatology from the Institute of Patagonia University in Punta Arenas, said years of research has revealed extreme weather patterns and global warming are taking their toll on the Patagonian environment.

"In the last perhaps 10 winters, it has been less cold, which does not mean that they are warm, we aren’t in a tropical climate, but they are also very short winters that generally last between 1-3 months," he said.

To establish a standard conclusion on climate change and global warming, the World Meteorological Organisation requires a minimum 30 years of data. The Jorge C. Schythe station, where Mr Butorovic and his team works, has measured and recorded most surface meteorological parameters for the past 46 years. A recent summer in Punta Arenas that hit record temperatures of 29 degrees is testimony to changing weather patterns he said.

Patagonia is in the grip of a seven year drought, the worst in recorded history.

While the residents of the typically freezing cold, ocean side city enjoy the warm weather, he urged people to consider the future.

"We have to be careful and keep an eye on what can produce harmful effects both for the population and the vegetation. A clear example of climate change in this zone has been shown with these extreme events."

Although the region is withstanding the drought, but Mr Butorovic said that the current trends indicate that for the next three to fivemonths, the Magallanes region will not see much rain at all. Source: sbs.com.au

November brings record-breaking temperatures from Nunavut to Siberia

1 December, 2016. In many Nunavut communities, chances are you traded your parka for a jacket during the month of November.

During November, monthly average temperatures in Nunavut’s central Kivalliq region ranged from 4.1 C higher in Naujaat to 8.2 C higher in Arviat—and sparrows, usually long-gone from Rankin Inlet, were still around.

People in that community of roughly 3,000, who saw rotating power outages this week after its diesel turbines needed major repairs, fortunately enjoyed those milder-than-usual higher temperatures. These were as mild as about minus 3 C—much higher than the normal high temperatures of minus 18 C for this time of the year.

And, in Arviat, the puddles reminded residents of spring, not of the usually cold, dark month leading into winter.

This map by Patrick Duplessis, a PhD student in Physics and Atmospheric Science at Dalhousie University, shows some of the hot spots across the North during November. (IMAGE BY P.DUPLESSIS/TWITTER)

On Nov. 30, it was just a little below freezing in Arviat—minus 1.5 C. That high temperature beat the previous record high for that day of minus 4.6 C set in 1986. The day’s low of minus 2.6 C was also much higher than the record low of minus 33 C set in 1991.

On Nov. 30, the western Nunavut Kitikmeot community of Gjoa Haven, where the temperatures averaged 6.5 C higher in November, you could also say it was really warm: The minus 3.4 C temperature on Nov. 30 beat the record of minus 9.5 C set in 1987, and Gjoa Haven’s daily low of minus 9.3 C was much higher than 1991’s record-breaking low of minus 37.5 C for Nov. 30.

Nov. 30 also broke record highs:

• Baker Lake—minus 2.9 C

• Naujaat—minus 4 C

• Taloyoak—minus 4.2 C

• Kugaaruk—minus 3.2 C

• Igloolik—8.7 C

• Arctic Bay—minus 9.1 C

• Resolute Bay—minus 8.9 C

• Eureka—minus 11.9 C

The warmth also circled the Arctic Ocean, which, around the pole, was itself up to 20 C warmer than usual during much of November.

In Greenland, the famed Sirius dog team patrol hasn’t started to carry out its long-range reconnaissance patrolling yet because it’s too warm.

And the Russian Arctic and Norwegian Arctic have never been so warm in November reports the Independent Barents Observer— at least according to existing records.

On Norway’s Svalbard Islands, temperatures averaged 10.7 C higher than normal, while weather measurements across the top of Siberia showed temperatures up to 14 C higher than normal.

Temperatures weren’t the only unusual measurements in the Arctic which were off during November.

Both Arctic and Antarctic daily sea ice extents remain the lowest on record in the satellite era—a period of about 35 years.

In November, European Space Agency’s CryoSat satellite measurements show the Arctic sea ice matching record lows from 2011 and 2012.

And Arctic ice growth, say climate watchers, is slower and lower this year. Even though Arctic sea ice extent growth increased over this past week, it’s still at a record low for date.

In Hudson Bay, ice formation stands at about 40 per cent below normal, according to the Canadian Ice Service. Source: nunatsiaqonline.ca

U.S. daily record highs beat record lows by a staggering 51-to-1 ratio in November

November 2016 temperature anomalies in North America.

1 December, 2016. As the planet warms in response to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the ratio of high temperature records compared to low temperature records has become more skewed. If the climate were not warming, that long-term ratio should average out to about 1-to-1.

However, that is not the world we're living in. A 2009 study found that the record highs to lows ratio was 2-to-1 for the lower 48 states during the 2000s, and this disparity has only grown since then. Projections show the imbalance increasing in coming decades as global warming continues.

Keeping in mind that individual months show considerable variability in weather patterns, it's clear that over the long-term, the ratio of record highs to record lows is now strongly favoring record highs as well as record warm overnight temperatures. This is consistent with computer model projections of a warming world.

No individual month shows this better - and to a ridiculous degree - than November 2016.

New, preliminary numbers from the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) show that during November, the ratio of record highs (4401) to record lows (87) was a shocking 51-to-1.

According to Guy Walton, a former Weather Channel meteorologist who meticulously tracks these records, this year is on track to have the lowest tally of record low temperatures since 1922 and the highest ratio of daily record highs to lows - at about 6.6-to-1 .

Comparing the number of temperature records has some limitations, but the ratios are more accurate in reflecting how the U.S. has warmed in recent decades, according to Deke Arndt, chief of climate monitoring at the NCEI in Asheville, North Carolina.

"Because the number and lifetimes of weather stations has varied over time, comparing raw numbers of records does not completely capture the signal," he said. "Using a ratio of warm-to-cold records helps account for these effects."

All of North America, including Canada, had an unusually warm November, with many cities in the Midwest, Alberta and other Canadian provinces setting records for the warmest November on record.

A Nov. 21 study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that by midcentury, the ratio of record daily high temperatures to record daily lows will likely be about 15-to-1, depending on the pace of greenhouse gas emissions.

December promises to be far colder in these areas as the weather pattern changes from the Pacific Ocean across North America, though it is unclear whether record highs will still outnumber record lows.

Globally, 2016 is on pace to set a record for the warmest year since at least 1880, beating the milestone set last year.

The warm year has seen a host of extreme events linked to global warming, including catastrophic flooding in Louisiana and North Carolina, a worldwide coral bleaching event that devastated parts of Australia's Great Barrier Reef as well as other impacts. Source: mashable.com
