Mallorca is hit by TWENTY INCHES of snow and 25ft waves, with a dozen towns left without power and weather red alert warnings issued as Storm Juliette brings Balearic blizzards

• Mallorca is covered with snow and officials issued a red alert for second day as a further 15 inches expected

Spain's meteorological agency AEMET warned the coastal regions in northern Mallorca will be hit with 55mph winds and 26ft waves

Snow covers Serra de Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca, Spain, on Tuesday 

Mallorca has been gripped by a winter storm that is wreaking havoc, with 20 inches of snow shutting roads and cutting power in dozens of towns.

The Spanish holiday island is covered with snow today and officials issued a rare red alert warning for the second day in a row as a further 15 inches is expected to fall in the next 24 hours.

Storm Juliette hit Mallorca, known for its sun-drenched beaches, on Sunday and has since brought blizzards and cold weather to the Balearic island.

AEMET issued a red warning for snow today and warned 15 inches will fall in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range in the north of the island within 24 hours.

The meteorological experts had predicted 16 inches of snow would fall by early this morning, but more than 20 inches blanketed the town of Valldemossa where temperatures have plummeted to -2C (28.4 Fahrenheit). 

The snow storm has also led to power cuts in dozens of towns including Valldemossa, Alaró, Vilafranca and Port d'Alcúdia. 

The 20 inches of snow has also forced the closure of up to 15 roads in the Serra de Tramuntana region. 

The AEMET has also issued an amber warning for rainfall, with 100mm expected in the Serra de Tramuntana range. 

In the past eight hours the highest accumulated precipitation - 128.4mm - has been recorded in Pollença, a town in northern Mallorca.  

In the rest of the island, orange and yellow warnings have been activated for winds of more than 70km/hr and precipitation that could exceed three inches in some areas. 

Snow has also covered parts of Ibiza and it has an active yellow warning for 13ft waves today. 

And in neighbouring Menorca, there are active orange warnings for 90km/hr winds which have left the island cut off by the sea following the closure of port Maó.

The United States is being battered by severe storms with tornadoes wrecking buildings and uprooting trees leaving at least nine people dead so far with the threat of snow and flooding to come

At least nine people have died in the US as storms ripped through neighbourhoods and they are now set to bring snow and flooding to the east of the country.

Thousands have seen their homes damaged or destroyed by strong winds and tornadoes with so far nine people confirmed dead across southern states on Friday.

More than 750,000 homes and businesses in Tennessee and Kentucky are without electricity while many also do not have running water.

Kentucky Governor Andy Bashear warned of Friday being a “dangerous weather day” adding “there is a certainty of severe storms and significant wind gusts, with possibilities of flooding and tornadoes.”

In an update he later tweeted: “Kentucky please add one more family to your prayers tonight. We just learned of our third weather related death, this coming out of Logan County. Let’s continue to be there for one another as we mourn those losses.”

Three people were killed by falling trees in Alabama as severe weather swept through the state. In Mississippi, a woman died inside her SUV after a rotted tree branch struck her vehicle, and in Arkansas a man drowned after he drove into high floodwaters.

In Humphreys County, Tennessee, a man was also found dead after a tree hit his car, the sheriff's office said.

The storm system turned toward New England, where a mix of snow, sleet and rain is hitting the region on Friday night and lasting into Saturday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a winter storm warning.

There's a chance of coastal flooding in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and the storm could bring as much as 18 inches of snow to parts of New Hampshire and Maine. The storm will also bring strong winds with gusts of 40 to 50 mph, which could cause power outages.

Airport officials in Portland, Maine, cancelled several flights for Saturday ahead of the weather and some libraries and businesses in the region announced weekend closures.

In California the weather system slammed the state earlier in the week with as much as 10 feet of snow. Some residents in mountains east of Los Angeles will likely remain stranded in their homes for at least another week after the snowfall proved too much to handle for most plows.

Many residents of Alabama, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas and Texas emerged Friday to find their homes and businesses damaged and trees toppled by the reported tornadoes. Tens of thousands were without power and some were also without water.

In Alabama, a 70-year-old man sitting in his truck in Talledega County was killed when a tree fell onto his vehicle. A 43-year-old man in Lauderdale County and a man in Huntsville also were killed by falling trees Friday, local authorities said.

In Texas, winds brought down trees, ripped the roof off a grocery store in Little Elm, north of Dallas, and overturned four 18-wheelers along US Highway 75. Minor injuries were reported, police said.

Winds of nearly 80mph were recorded near the Fort Worth suburb of Blue Mound. The roof of an apartment building in the suburb of Hurst was blown away, resident Michael Roberts told KDFW-TV.

"The whole building started shaking ... The whole ceiling is gone," Roberts said. "It got really crazy."

Heavy rain was also reported in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, causing flooding in both states.

The storm barrelled Friday afternoon into the Detroit area, quickly covering streets and roads beneath a layer of snow. The weather service said some areas could see blizzard conditions with snowfall approaching three inches per hour.

Detroit-based DTE Energy reported more than 106,000 customers lost power on Friday evening. It was the latest slap after ice storms last week left more than 600,000 homes and businesses without power.

Huge mile-wide tornado rips through Mississippi town razing homes to the ground with dozens trapped under debris - as 30 MILLION are warned to brace for 135mph storms and golf ball-sized hail

• A tornado a mile wide blitzed the small town of Rolling Fork, Mississippi before tearing a path of destruction across the state on Friday night
• Homes were seen to have been completely flattened while cars were overturned like discarded toys as the massive storm carved a path through the rural state 
• Forecasters warned of destructive storms including eastern Arkansas, northeast Louisiana, central and northern Mississippi, and western Tennessee

Mississippi bore the brunt of a strong line of ferocious storms that roared across South on Friday night with a mile-wide tornado touching down in the small town of Rolling Fork, leaving people trapped amid a path of destruction.

Forecasters had been warning residents in parts of the Midwest and South on Friday that dangerously strong winds would be moving through the region coupled with the possibility of damaging EF2 tornadoes with winds of up to 135mph.

Worst fears were realized just after 9pm on Friday night with one storm chaser managing to tweet that help was urgently needed in the area after the colossal storm left people trapped inside collapsed homes and businesses. 

'The damage in Rolling Fork, Mississippi is BAD. People are trapped, we need help here,' Zachary Hall tweeted.

He later tweeted how police had stressed the urgency of the situation and begged him to get the message out: 'Major tornado damage, we need as many ambulances as possible and any help for search and rescue in this town.' 

A reporter on the ground told how several people had been rushed to hospital following the barrage of storms which left homes flattened and businesses crushed.

Other stormchasers in the area captured the violent nature of the storms with lightning and power flashes illuminating the threatening sky as a tornado passed through Anguilla, Mississippi. 

In nearby Silver City, Mississippi, damage was said to be 'everywhere' after the tiny village of 300 people suffered a direct hit.

More than 30 million people lay in the storm's path which had already led to the drowning deaths of two people after a car was swept away with the passengers still inside drowned earlier on Friday in Missouri.

Golf ball-sized hail stones emanating from the supercell storms also saw torrential rains leading to flooding - all part of the severe weather system which has been barreling across the country.

The drowning accident happened just after midnight in a sparsely populated area of southwestern Missouri.

Authorities said six young adults were in the vehicle that was swept away as the car tried to cross a bridge over a flooded creek in the town of Grovespring.

Four of the six made it out of the water. The body of Devon Holt, 20, of Grovespring, was found at 3:30am, and the body of Alexander Roman-Ranelli, 19, of Springfield, was recovered about six hours later, Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Thomas Young said.

The driver told authorities that the rain made it difficult to see that water from a creek had covered the bridge, Young said.

The driver told authorities that the rain made it difficult to see that water from a creek had covered the bridge, Young said.

The storm system is being fueled by a dip in the jet stream that powered through  California on Tuesday and Wednesday resulting in tornadoes there including one that hit the downtown LA area - the first in the area since 1953.

Meanwhile, a search continued in another southwestern Missouri county for a woman who was missing after flash flooding from a small river washed a car off the road. 

The Logan Rogersville Fire Protection District said the victim's dog was found safe, but there was no sign of the woman. Two others who were in the car were rescued. Crews planned to use boats and have searchers walking along the riverbank.

Some parts of southern Missouri saw nearly 3 inches of rain Thursday night and into Friday morning as severe weather hit other areas. 

A suspected tornado touched down early Friday in north Texas as a volatile storm system threatened to spawn tornadoes in several Southern states.

Matt Elliott, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, said severe weather is expected across several states.

'We´re talking several tornadoes, including some that might be strong and intense,' Elliott said.

The Storm Prediction Center warned the greatest threat of tornadoes would come on Friday afternoon and evening in portions of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. 

Storms with damaging winds and hail were forecast from eastern Texas and southeastern Oklahoma into parts of southeastern Missouri and southern Illinois.

'Now is the time to start checking batteries on your weather radios and making sure you have multiple ways to receive weather warnings, but also having a plan so that if storms start approaching your area and warnings are issued you're able to get yourself and your family to a place that's safe,' Elliott said.

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards warned of potential tornados reaching the state overnight and urged residents to prepare for severe weather, including damaging winds and hail. 

The risk of personal vulnerability increases with overnight severe weather as residents are less likely to receive warnings because they are asleep and tornadoes are more difficult to spot, according to the National Weather Service.

In Texas, a suspected tornado struck about 5am in the southwest corner of Wise County, damaging homes and downing trees and power lines, said Cody Powell, the county's emergency management coordinator. Powell said he had no reports of injuries.

The weather service had not confirmed a tornado, but damage to homes was also reported in neighboring Parker County, said meteorologist Matt Stalley. Investigators likely will go to the area later Friday to make that determination.

The two areas are about 10 miles apart on the western edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and Stalley said the storm system was expected to move east of the region by throughout the remainder of Friday.

Angola – Thousands of Homes Damaged or Destroyed After Days of Heavy Rain

Heavy rain caused damages and flooding in several provinces of Angola from early April 2023. Strong winds were also reported in some areas. As of 21 April, at least 20 people had lost their lives, many of them children. Damage to houses has left hundreds of families homeless.

Floods in Luanda, Angola, April 2023. 

Some of the worst damage occurred in Luanda Province, which includes the capital city of Luanda. Five people lost their lives after heavy rain and storms from 12 to 13 April. Two people were reported missing. More than 300 trees were downed around 1,200 homes flooded.

Heavy rain and storms struck again from 18 to 19 April. Around 1,700 homes were flooded or damaged by the rain in the municipalities of Viana, Belas and Cazenga. Five people died, including 2 people following the collapse of houses and three who were swept away by floods. All the victims were children.

The government of Luanda Province warned of further heavy rain and that residents and in particular children should avoid flood waters and drainage channels.

Heavy rain, storms and floods have also occurred in the provinces of Namibe, Lunda Norte, Lunda Sul, Malanje, Cuanza Norte and Moxico.

In Namibe Province, around 150 families in the municipality of Moçâmedes were displaced after floods and heavy rain on 01 April. On the same day, 76 families were left homeless after heavy rain destroyed houses in the municipality of Xá-muteba in Lunda Norte Province.

Ice jams cause catastrophic flooding in Alaskan riverfront towns

Alaska’s Governor Mike Dunleavy declared a state of disaster on May 14, 2023, in the wake of extensive flooding caused by ice jams and rapid snowmelt along the Kuskokwim and Yukon rivers.

Devastating floods sparked by ice jams have wreaked havoc on communities settled along Alaska’s Kuskokwim and Yukon rivers, prompting Governor Mike Dunleavy to declare a state of disaster on Sunday, May 14. The Yukon River, which starts its journey from the coastal mountains of Canada and snakes its way northwest for a span of approximately 3 200 km (2 000 miles), saw a substantial ice jam that led to disastrous flooding in numerous riverside communities.

The seasonal phenomenon known as the “spring breakup” in Alaska experienced a minor delay this year due to cooler-than-usual temperatures in April. Nonetheless, recent precipitation and temperatures climbing above freezing in eastern and north-central regions of Alaska have sparked the yearly thawing of the river ice, as stated by Tom Kines, Senior Meteorologist at AccuWeather.

The National Weather Service’s (NWS) Fairbanks office had already sounded the alarm in late April, cautioning that this year’s spring breakup could cause substantial flooding in riverside communities. This forecast was grounded in the observed snowpack, recorded ice thickness, and seasonal temperature projections.

Ed Plumb, a hydrologist with the NWS, clarified that a solid stretch of ice, spanning between 130 and 145 km (80 to 90 miles) along the Yukon River banks, instigated a significant surge in water levels in the town of Eagle, situated in eastern Alaska. He recounted how both the road connecting Eagle and Eagle Village and some buildings were utterly submerged under ice and water.

In a swift turn of events, the water that had flooded Eagle receded on Saturday, leaving behind massive ice blocks and making the roads inaccessible. The downstream movement of ice from the Yukon River put other riverside towns, including Circle, situated roughly 175 km (109 miles) northwest of Eagle, in the danger zone for severe flooding. Within a span of only 30 minutes, the water level in Circle shot up by nearly 3 m (10 feet), a consequence of the ice jam.

By the afternoon of Sunday, water levels in Circle had decreased, but the persistent presence of standing water and colossal ice chunks continues to pose a risk to the community. The Alaska state troopers confirmed the safety of all Circle inhabitants and reported zero injuries.

Kyle Wright, the environmental health director for the Tanana Chiefs Conference, compared the destruction to the historic breakup floods in Eagle in 2009 and Galena in 2013. Many homes in Circle were affected, with some being carried away or damaged beyond repair.

Essential infrastructure and buildings have also been heavily impacted, with the community currently lacking electricity. Efforts are being made to restore power, with the Alaska Energy Authority planning to send generators to temporarily power the village. The community well will need to be disinfected, though a full water storage tank ensures the availability of safe drinking water.

In Southwest Alaska, the Kuskokwim River faced a major ice jam stretching 24 km (15 miles), which triggered significant flooding in the communities of Red Devil and Crooked Creek.

Aerial footage from the Alaska Region NWS depicted the scale of the floods, with numerous riverside homes swallowed up by the floodwaters. The force of the rushing water was so great that it managed to rip some houses from their foundations. In spite of the calamity, all residents of Crooked Creek were reported safe, and the American Red Cross was on-site to provide shelter and aid to those affected by the floods.

Schools in Glennallen, situated about 305 km (190 miles) northeast of Anchorage, were closed again on Tuesday, May 16, due to ongoing flooding from heavy snowmelt runoff into creeks. The public sewer system has also been shut down as the town faces the same challenges that have struck multiple Alaska communities along rivers and creeks during the spring breakup.

Local authorities have installed Porta-Potties around the town and are urging residents to limit water usage. Although water covered a section of the Glenn Highway on Monday, the road remains open. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) field office in the area is currently flooded, with electricity and sewage systems down, and the office is closed until further notice.

Communities downstream on the Yukon River, such as Fort Yukon, are also facing threats from ice jam flooding. In Southwest Alaska, late-season snowfall has temporarily halted aerial monitoring of the lower Kuskokwim River, with communities from Kalskag to Bethel at the mouth of the river expecting ice jam flooding in the coming days.

Eastern Canada’s Halifax declares emergency over wildfire

The eastern Canadian city of Halifax declared a state of local emergency late on Sunday after a wildfire caused evacuations and power outages.

“Emergency responders are working around the clock to keep people safe and reduce the threats posed by the fires,” the municipal authority in the capital of Nova Scotia province said in a press release.

The fire sent a huge pall of smoke over the port city.

Waihī Beach residents were evacuated on Monday afternoon after “widespread flooding” that a local councillor said was the highest he’d ever seen.

Civil Defence duty manager Peter Watson said on Monday night that nine people who had been evacuated had been moved to self-contained units in a motorcamp near Bowentown.

Three were from elderly housing units which were flooded, the rest of the residents from the units had found somewhere to stay with family or friends, Watson said.

The flash flooding had done “quite a lot of damage” to the area’s infrastructure including roads and the storm and wastewater network which were currently running on generator power. The most important thing was the that no one had been injured, he said.

“We’ve been quite lucky, we’ve had a very resilient community out there who is very prepared ... we’ve got a very good community response team and the RSA has been really awesome in helping as an initial evacuation staging area,” Watson said.

There was no clear estimate on how many properties had been damaged, but building inspectors would be heading out to assess the damage on Tuesday morning, Watson said.

It was a “horrible scene”, Western Bay of Plenty District councillor Allan Sole said, with areas inundated after a short but strong burst of rain.

A Fire and Emergency spokesperson said they received reports of rising floodwaters about 2pm on Monday. Police were called in to help with evacuations

A block of pensioner flats on Beach Rd had been hit hard, Sole said, with floodwaters almost reaching windowsill height, and the RSA had been stood up as an evacuation centre.

Eleven of 19 elder housing units flooded and people had to be evacuated, the Western Bay of Plenty District Council said in a statement.

RSA Manager Mel Gearon told RNZ’s Checkpoint at least 15 homes were in an uninhabitable state on Monday night.

“It was basically a torrential downpour, a huge amount of water that came through, a good flash flood there and that’s just had nowhere to go, so it’s pretty much filled up and flooded a few places.”

Local residents and businesses were accommodating those who were evacuated, with some heading to private homes and others to a holiday park.

The flooding began subsiding on late Monday afternoon, Gearon said.

Sole, a local community patroller, had been out “making sure people were okay”.

“The rain probably came over a period of a couple of hours...it really came down in a very heavy fall.”

Another affected area was Ocean View Rd, which Sole said was a “common flooding area” because of a nearby creek.

Waihī Beach resident Mandie Thompson said she spotted a large puddle at the end of Browns Drive “and in a matter of 10 minutes there was a car submerged halfway up the driver's door".

At one point, floodwaters were waist-deep on a man wading through them.

For Waihī Beach, the impacts of the cyclones were "nothing" compared to Monday's flooding, Thompson said.

She understood holding ponds behind her property had burst and flooded the road.

The first sign for her was a neighbour's backyard starting to fill with water about 1.50pm.

When she looked around her own there were "rivers and waterfalls coming from the neighbours properties above us", she said.

However, the water was receding quickly by about 4pm.

And major flooding closed SH25 between Waihī and Whiritoa from about 3pm, Waka Kotahi said.

Bay of Plenty Civil Defence had earlier warned of severe thunderstorms near Waihī and Waihī Beach, adding “they are expected to travel south, so they may hit the larger centres in time for school pickup or the commute home. (sorry)”.

Hold your breath Lady Liberty! NYC landmarks are covered in smog from Canadian wildfires sparking 'code red' warning for those with breathing issues... and it could be WORSE today!

• NYC landmarks were covered in smoke from Canadian wildfires on Tuesday
• Smoke filled the Yankees stadium and other baseball matches were called off
• Meteorologists suggested the air quality could worsen further on Wednesday

New Yorkers were back in masks on Tuesday as thick smoke originating from Canadian wildfires to the north descended on the city.

Pictures showed an orange glow hanging above New York City as the sun set, concealing iconic structures such as the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty.

Air quality levels throughout the city were 'very unhealthy', according to the US government online platform AirNow, which also warned against outdoor activities.

Across from Manhattan in the Bronx, Yankees fans watching the evening's baseball described being able to smell the smoke filling the stadium.

Meanwhile, a game involving their Minor League affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, was postponed 'due to poor air quality,' the team announced.

Provincial officials reported Saturday afternoon that four people remain missing after historic rains triggered catastrophic flash flooding around the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) on Friday.

Additional heavy rainfall around the Halifax area on Saturday added insult to injury after more than 200 mm of rain fell across the area in just four to five hours.

The intensity of the tropical downpours will cement Friday's deluge in regional weather history, potentially ranking among the most intense one-day rainfall totals ever measured in Canada.

Local officials continued to urge residents to stay off roads and highways this weekend, only venturing out in an emergency. Lingering floodwaters and significant road damage will make travel hazardous in many areas.

Four people reported missing, state of emergency issued

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston announced Saturday in a virtual press conference that the provincial government had issued a state of emergency for the following areas:

Halifax Regional Municipality

West Hants

East Hants

Lunenburg

Queens

A state of emergency frees up funds and resources to allow officials to respond to the flooding and its aftermath.

During the press conference, Premier Houston also confirmed that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are searching for four people who went missing during the floods. All four individuals went missing in West Hants when their vehicles were submerged by floodwaters.

The first vehicle carried five passengers, three of whom escaped and two—both children—were reported missing. High waters submerged a second vehicle carrying four passengers. Two escaped, while two others—a man and a child—were reported missing.

Crews continued to look for the four missing individuals on Saturday, Houston said, while adding that officials urged local residents not to join in the search because of dangerous conditions that remain throughout the area.

Halifax officials also reminded residents on Saturday to stay away from floodwaters, as the water likely contains hazardous materials like gasoline and raw sewage.

Road closures and evacuation orders in place

Significant and widespread road closures remain in effect across the HRM, with multiple roads and rail lines washed out by the flooding. The City of Halifax provided an interactive map of road closures throughout the HRM on its website.

The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg issued a mandatory evacuation order for residents around Fancy Lake due to excessive rainfall and "the removal of logs from the Public Service Commission Dam," according to a release on the Municipality's website Saturday.

This order was extended through the overnight hours Saturday into Sunday morning, the Municipality said on its website at 6:00 p.m. Saturday.

The evacuation order includes "the area around Fancy Lake, including the lands situated on Conquerall Mills Road from William Hebb Road to Conquerall Road to Highway 103 to Century Drive, including all of Trunk 3," according to the release.

"Evacuated residents who need overnight accommodations can access shelter at the Nova Scotia Community College located at 75 High Street in Bridgewater starting at 8:00 p.m.," the Municipality's release said, adding that officials will issue further updates on Facebook, Lunenburg's website, and on the radio via CKBW-FM.

In addition to the flooding, Friday's storms knocked out power to tens of thousands of customers throughout the region through the evening and overnight hours. Nova Scotia Power's outage data indicated that only about 4,000 customers remained without power by 7:30 p.m. local time on Saturday.

Historic rainfall totals

Widespread rainfall totals of 100-200+ mm fell across the Halifax area, with the heaviest rains hitting communities west and north of Halifax proper. An unofficial total of 251 mm of rain come out of West Bedford on Friday evening. Radar estimates show that some areas may have seen more than 300 mm of rain in just 4 or 5 hours.

Some of the heaviest rain fell over areas devastated by wildfires in late May and early June, which likely exacerbated the extent of the flooding in the affected areas.

These are unprecedented rainfall totals for the region, more akin to a heavy rainfall event you'd see somewhere like Florida instead of the Canadian Maritimes. For some perspective, Halifax typically averages about 95 mm of rain during the entire month of July.

A sizable plume of tropical moisture streaming into the region from the south fuelled the heavy rainfall. Persistent thunderstorms tapped into this moisture like a reservoir, efficiently wringing out copious amounts of water over the region.

If you're in the region, it's safest to stay home until the rain stops and floodwaters have a chance to recede. Never attempt to drive across a flooded roadway. It's impossible to tell how deep the water is until it's too late, and the road may be washed out beneath the floodwaters. Only a small amount of moving water can strand a vehicle and even carry it downstream.

Tonga recently experienced its second-coldest day ever, when the temperature was less than 1C higher than its record lowest.

The people of Tonga know how to adapt to the extremes of the natural environment.

Cyclones, volcanic eruptions and the impacts of climate change are elements they've learnt to live with. But the cold weather? That's a different matter.

"Right now we're experiencing much colder temperatures than normal," Rita Prema, a shop owner in the capital Nuku'alofa told the ABC.

"We've got customers coming in for coffee mugs, vacuum flasks, teapots and insulated bottles to keep their hot beverages warmer through these colder nights."

In a place synonymous with tropical heat, coconuts, and warm waters — complaining about the cold might seem like a stretch.

But last week, the country recorded its second-lowest temperature ever, at 9.3 degrees Celsius.

It's hard to imagine the cold being a problem in a place like Tonga.

According to Tonga Meteorological Services, the lowest temperature recorded in the country was 8.7C in September 1994.

The near-record low temperature was so chilly that residents are walking around with beanies, scarves, and puffer jackets.

It's so cold some of the country's institutions have put out a desperate call for blankets.

"It's been a big surprise to everyone," said acting Tonga High Commissioner to Australia, Curtis Tuihalangingie, who was in the capital Nuku'alofa this week.

"Normally, it will just go down to 18 [degrees]. And at some points, it'll go down to 15. But to go down to 10. This [is] a first for me.

"It got so cold the prison [and] the psychiatric ward were asking for blankets . . . so Her Royal Highness with the help of Her Majesty donated some."

The cold temperatures in parts of the region come as intense heatwaves hit southern Europe, South-East Asia, northern Africa, the United States and South America.

They smashed records and fuelled wildfires in Greece, Spain, Italy, Canada and Algeria.

In July, 21 of the 30 hottest days on record led to it becoming Earth's hottest month on average.

And in Australia, parts of the eastern states are experiencing unseasonably warm weather, partly due to interactions with the weather events bringing chilly conditions to parts of the Pacific.

What's causing the colder temperatures?

Tonga's location near the edge of the tropics, a developing El Niño event, and a weather system that has channeled air from south of the country have likely helped drive the colder temperatures.

"The major factor, in this case, will be the flow of air from further south coming up into this region bringing cooler temperatures," Professor Janette Lindesay from the ANU's Fenner School of Environment and Society told the ABC.

It's also helping to keep the skies clear.

"When you've got clear skies like that, at night the heat that's absorbed at the Earth's surface during the day when the sun's shining escapes, so it cools down overnight," Professor Lindesay said.

The record cold day Tonga experienced in 1994 was during an El Niño that lasted until the next year.

Professor Lindesay said it was hard to know if Tonga would continue to face chilly winters in the coming years.

If the developing El Niño continued into a moderate or strong El Niño, it would likely bring a period of below average rainfall and lower night-time temperatures.

That can lead to things like droughts and severe frosts, which can kill food crops.

Professor Lindesay said a severe frost hit Papua New Guinea in spring in 1997, devastating staple food crops.

"There was a lack of food in that area and there were some real sociological problems and issues for the people at that time," she said.

'Complete change' of weather patterns

The conditions in Tonga are being felt across the region, with puffer jackets and beanies being seen in Fiji and colder temperatures recorded in Samoa.

Samoa Meteorological Services assistant chief executive Afaese Dr Luteru Tauvale said Samoa's average maximum temperature was around 28C or 29C.

He said some places near the capital were hitting the low 20s this week.

Afaese Dr Luteru Tauvale said weather patterns are becoming harder to predict.

He said the lowest minimum temperature on record was 10C, which the country had not got close to hitting this year so far.

But he said, they were still "on the hunt" to gain accurate temperatures across Samoa and its more remote areas.

"In the past some of the villages have called in and they told us they'd seen frost so, you know, we're still wanting to get instruments out there to record that."

As the world continued to feel the impacts of climate change, Dr Tauvale said predicting weather patterns in the region would become more "complicated".

"We've seen a complete change of climate and weather patterns," he said.

"You know, we are in a transition. [For example] we are experiencing heavy rain from time to time. And it's a very big challenge for not only for Samoa, but for the whole of the Pacific.

"It's a global challenge."

For 82-year-old Samoan Reverend Vaiao Ala'ilima Eteuati, the cold weather is much more meaningful than just putting on an extra layer.

For him, and the people of Samoa, the cold winds are referred to as "tuaoloa" — and it holds special meaning.

Reverend Vaiao Ala’ilima Eteuati says the cold weather brings consequences for the people of Samoa.

"It means richness, abundance, prosperity, plenty," he told the ABC.

"It can be gentle, it also can be very violent and cold. It connects the people with the environment.

"So shark snaring, bonito fishing, you can't do it because tuaoloa is precarious."

According to Reverend Eteuati, it's a period that also brings danger.

"[In this period] we usually take very good care [and] attend to our elders. Because we know the consequences of our life [if] we don't look after our elderly.

"People in Australia might see the weather get down to 19 and not think about it, but 19 degrees in Samoa, that's very cold.

"And that's too much for the elderly."

Dam partly collapses in Norway as Storm Hans continues to cause chaos

Parts of eastern and central Norway still on red alert as country battles widespread flooding and landslides

A dam in Norway has partly collapsed as the country battles record high river levels, flooding and landslides after a fatal storm.

Norwegian police were considering blowing up the dam when water from the Glåma River, the country’s longest, started spilling out the side at Braskereidfoss hydroelectric power plant.

It comes after a powerful storm – named Hans – that has caused chaos across northern Europe in recent days, and left southern Norway in crisis after widespread flooding and landsl... River levels expected to continue rising into Thursday.

A woman in her 70s died on Wednesday after falling into a stream and 700-800 people were evacuated from Innlandet, the district which also includes Braskereidfoss.

All main roads between Oslo and Trondheim were closed on Wednesday.

Pål Erik Teigen, chief of staff at Innlandet police district, said his force had been monitoring the Braskereidfoss dam and working with power plant owner, Hafslund Eco. “On the south-west side the water is starting to go through … it’s going slowly. This is the best thing now,” he told the Guardian.

They had been considering staging a controlled explosion but once the water started coming through the side, they decided the best solution was to leave it.

“It’s a very heavy situation we have in this part of Norway in the last days because of the rain. If I made a training exercise for the police I wouldn’t in my wildest dreams think of this problem in our district, he said.

“We have many landslides all over, we have homes being taken, evacuated a lot of people, all the roads are closed and all the rivers are overflowing.”

The government hydrology institute, NVE, said parts of eastern and central Norway were still on red alert, with many rivers at record levels. “In a lot of rivers and lakes the level is still increasing,” said hydrologist Tuomo Saloranta.

The Norwegian prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, who visited affected areas, said a huge challenge lay ahead. “When the rain stops, another challenge begins: the water needs to get out,” he said.

At Least 6 Dead as Wildfire Razes Hawaiian Town on Island of Maui

U.S. Coast Guard officers plucked at least a dozen people from the water as emergency services were overwhelmed by a disaster that appeared to have erupted almost without warning.

“I’m sad to report that just before coming on this, it was confirmed we’ve had six fatalities,” Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen told a press conference.

“We are still in a search and rescue mode and so I don’t know what will happen to that number.”

Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke issued an emergency proclamation and told CNN the hospital system on the island of Maui “was overburdened with burn patients, people suffering from inhalati“911 is down. Cell service is down. Phone service is down,” she said.

Lahaina, a tourist town of 12,000 on the northwestern tip of Maui, lay in ruins, said Governor Josh Green.

“Much of Lahaina on Maui has been destroyed and hundreds of local families have been displaced,” said Green.

Video posted on social media showed blazes tearing through the heart of the beachfront town and sending up huge plumes of black smoke.

One-on-one with N.W.T. Premier Cochrane

CTV National News: Calls for more action

The Government of the Northwest Territories officially declared a territorial state of emergency on Tuesday in response to out-of-control wildfires in the territory.

Situations in the South Slave and North Salve regions are quickly changing, the territorialgovernment said in a press release, also noting that Fort Smith and Hay River remain at risk.

Due to wildfires approaching from the west, Yellowknife is also facing an increased risk, the territoryannounced.

“The decision to declare a territory-wide State of Emergency allows the Government of the Northwest Territories and our partners to access and deploy resources so that we can continue our work to protect residents and communities in a more efficient manner,” N.W.T. Municipal and Community Affairs Minister Shane Thompson said in the notice.

“We find ourselves in a crisis situation and our government is using every tool available to assist.”

On Monday, the Government of the Northwest Territories issued warnings which advised residents to evacuate Hay River, Enterprise, K’atl’odeeche First Nation, Fort Smith and surrounding areas as wildfires spread near the communities.

The City of Yellowknife first declared a state of local emergency on Monday night. Hay River Mayor Kandis Jameson is also askingall residents to leave, despite flaws in communication.

“We can’t even send out an alert to tell you it’s coming at us or get to the muster stations because we don’t have communications,” she told CTV News.

Jennifer Lennie, a Hay River resident who stayed behind despite warnings to flee on Tuesday, witnessed the flame-ravaged landscape of her community. “There’s some homes. Not every single house burned,” she told CTV News. “But a lot of it is gone.”

Members of the Canadian Armed Forces, including 124 soldiers, are prepared to be mobilized in the Northwest Territories as flames threaten communities and prompt hundreds of civilians to be airlifted to safety. One hundred soldiers are set to help with firefighting logistics, such as dousing hot spots and clearing areas.

As of Tuesday, there are currently over 230 active wildfires in the territory according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre.

About 20,000 residents in Yellowknife are being urged to get out of the way of fast-moving flames as more than 230 fires char the territory and smoke creeps south, impacting air quality in the United States. Yellowknife accounts for about half of the total population of the remote territory, which sits north of Alberta and east of Yukon.

Structures lost in West Kelowna as thousands remain under evacuation order due to wildfires

Structures have been lost in West Kelowna due to the McDougall Creek wildfire, officials confirmed early Friday morning.

It is not known exactly how many buildings have burned due to the fire but the Central Okanagan Emergency Operations Centre said a full assessment of the area will be undertaken Friday morning.

At around 3 a.m. Friday, officials said the fire remains very active and unpredictable.

Currently, 2,462 properties are under evacuation order and 4,801 properties are under evacuation alert due to the McDougall Creek wildfire.

Province predicts tough wildfire days ahead for B.C.

A state of emergency has been declared in Kelowna, and evacuations are underway in two neighbourhoods, as two wildfires flared to life late Thursday evening.

It’s thought that embers from the nearby McDougall Creek wildfire sparked the new fires, with embers, aided by gusting winds, crossing Okanagan Lake.

2 people killed in Istanbul flash floods TURKEY

SEP 05, 2023
https://www.dailysabah.com/turkiye/istanbul/2-people-killed-in-ista...

Two people were killed after flash floods devastated some districts in Türkiye’s largest metropolis Istanbul late Tuesday.

Heavy downpours started in the northern part of the city and intensified in the Arnavutköy and Başakşehir districts, turning roads into rivers.

FROM LINK Western Istanbul, Tuesday evening, September 5, 2023, torrential rains and floods flooded the city, a state of terror and panic

NYC is hit by sudden storm that's cancelled over 200 flights across NY and NJ as locals share concerns over 'creepy clouds' and forecasters warn East Coast could soon be hit by Cat-5, 165mph Hurricane Lee

• Severe thunderstorms have rolled in over the East Coast
• The weather front precludes Cat-5 Hurricane Lee forecast to make landfall 
• Travel chaos struck the region as over 200 flights have been cancelled

New York City and Boston are bracing for Category 5 Hurricane Lee to make landfall, but the East Coast is already experiencing severe thunderstorms set to last through the weekend. 

The region has sweltered under high temperatures and humidity in recent weeks, but both major metros are expected to be washed out Friday evening. 

The weather front has brought travel chaos to the skies as over 200 flights have already been cancelled out of JFK, Newark and LaGuardia airports, according to FlightAware. 

https://twitter.com/jhuntington/status/1700218661380702435?s=20

The storms have come following blistering temperatures across the eastern seaboard, where the mercury topped 90 degrees for three consecutive days for the first time all year in New York City on Friday. 

Summer in the Big Apple was grayer and cooler than usual, with the metropolis repeatedly blanketed by smoke and haze from Canadian wildfires. 

A heat advisory warning is still in effect in New York City and parts of New Jersey, as the torrential front barreling in resembles a tropical storm. 

Officials are bracing for damage as high winds, heavy rainfall and potential hail could cause flash flooding and structural damage in some areas. 

Reports indicate trees and power lines have been downed in New Jersey, and a severe thunderstorm watch was issued for almost the entire tri-state area until 11pm Friday. 

Flash flood warning have also been issued for large swathes of the Hudson Valley following a period of dry and hot conditions. 

Much of Massachusetts also remains under a severe thunderstorm watch, covering Middlesex, Essex, Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire counties. 

In Hoopsick Falls, New York, the town's mayor urged residents to remain indoors as a powerful thunderstorm struck the community of 3,000 people on Thursday. 

Storm damage was also seen in Boxborough, Massachusetts, where multiple tree limbs were torn down by the high winds 

Crews worked through Friday to clear the roads after the storm surge swept through, which also tore down power lines 

The storms on Friday are forecast to be the start of several weather bombs to strike the region into Monday, while heavy rainfall is expected to continue through the week as temperatures plummet. 

The severe weather comes amid growing fears over Hurricane Lee, which was registered as a Category 1 hurricane on Thursday, before it escalated to a Category 5 overnight. 

Lee has been picking up steam as it thunders towards the coastline, with wind speeds in excess of 130mph. 

It is expected to make landfall late next week, however forecasters have struggled to nail down the exact path of Hurricane Lee, leading to varying estimates over the extent of the damage it could bring to the East Coast.

Cork flooding: Floods in Co Cork ‘absolutely devastating’ as safety warning issued to motorists

‘Significant difficulties’ on some of the county’s roads after Storm Babet brings more than a month’s worth of rain fell in 24 hours

Motorists have been urged to drive with care in Cork and other parts of the country affected by floods from Storm Babet after more than a month’s worth of rain fell in just 24 hours.

Several roads in the south and southeast were impassible on Thursday morning as local authorities and emergency services continued to assess the flood damage.

The damage to Midleton was “absolutely devastating”, fire station officer in the town Mark Sinclair said. “I’m born and bred in the town, I’ve seen many a flood, but none of this capacity. This came so quick. We helped as much as we could and tried to get as many people to safety as possible.

“We’re still going around checking on people to see if they need help,” he said on Thursday morning.

“Numerous calls came in during the day [Wednesday]. I think it was 11am that the river burst its banks – then by 2pm there was pure devastation. The main street was like a river.

Mr Sinclair explained recent heavy rain had led to saturated ground and then there was high tide along with torrential rain, which led to the river bursting its banks.

“A lot of the shops have no insurance because it’s a flood zone, the town hasn’t seen anything like this in 400 years,” he told RTÉ's Morning Ireland.

The mayor of Cork County, Frank O’Flynn, called for an investigation into why the weather warning for Cork during Storm Babet was not upgraded to red status.

“It should have been red,” he told Newstalk Breakfast. “There was a torrential downpour ... Had there been a red status warning, schools and businesses would have been more prepared, cars would not have been out on the roads and not as much damage would have been caused.”

Storm Gerrit 'tornado' tears through Manchester wrecking around 100 homes overnight - as Brits trying to get back home after Xmas prepare to endure MORE travel chaos today after 80mph gales, rain and snow sparked road, rail and plane mayhem

Storm Gerrit has wrecked more than 100 homes after a tornado swept through a town - tearing apart roofs, blowing large trees onto roads and evacuating residents.

A supercell thunderstorm barrelled across Greater Manchester overnight causing major structural damage to houses in Stalybridge, Tameside, just before midnight.

Homeowners were told to attend a town hall for help, and the Met Office revealed there had been a strong rotating updraft and it was a 'likely' that a tornado had hit.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed officers were called to 'numerous reports of significant damage' at about 11.45pm last night and declared a 'major incident'. Photographs showed walls blown over, roofs torn apart and windows blown out.

It comes as travel chaos continued today across the UK after the storm struck with blizzards, 106mph gales and three inches of rain. Some 25,000 homes in Scotland lost power and drivers were trapped in snow on the A9 in the Highlands for hours.

Avanti West Coast said a tree falling on overhead wires between Rugby and Lichfield meant some rail lines were blocked again today. Journey times from London Euston towards the North West are being extended as trains are diverted via the Midlands.

Separately, Great Western Railway services at London Paddington were suspended today after a person was hit by a train near Slough. This also impacted the Elizabeth line, with no service between Hayes and Harlington and Reading. It comes as:

• ScotRail, Transport for Wales and other operators reported major storm disruption;
• Power was restored to 31,000 houses but 14,000 further homes were still cut off;
• Ferry crossings between Southampton and the Isle of Wight were cancelled today;
• Heathrow Airport axed 18 flights yesterday due to air traffic control restrictions. 

Flights were cancelled, rail lines were blocked and bridges closed, bringing lengthy delays as families returned home and commuters struggled back into workplaces.

The Environment Agency had 156 flood alerts and 23 warnings in place for England today after the deluge. Strong winds and heavy rain is forecast into the weekend, improving slightly with showers and sunny spells predicted for New Year's Eve.

At least 21 dead in Missouri, Kentucky as severe storms sweep centr...

At least 21 people have died after severe storms swept through the central United States, with possible tornadoes touching down in Missouri and Kentucky, according to authorities.

Fourteen people were killed in Kentucky, according to Gov. Andy Beshear. A tornado touched down in Laurel County at 11:49 p.m., with “numerous” more suffering severe injuries, the Laurel County Sheriff’s Department said in a social media post on Saturday.

Further west in Missouri, hundreds of miles from the destruction in Kentucky, five people were killed in severe weather in St. Louis, city officials said. Meteorologists have not yet confirmed reports of a tornado, with the National Weather Service St. Louis saying that damage reports and radar imagery suggests one had “likely occurred.” At a news conference Friday, St. Louis Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson described at a path of destruction that began on a major thoroughfare during afternoon rush hour before moving east over a river into southern Illinois.

“Our city is grieving tonight,” Spencer said. “The loss of life and destruction is truly horrendous.”

More than 100 miles south, Scott County Sheriff Derick Wheetley said a tornado on Friday struck several rural areas in the southern region of the Missouri county, killing two, injuring several more and “leaving behind a trail of destruction, with multiple homes completely lost and areas left unrecognizable.”

Friday’s destruction marked the third-straight day of significant severe weather, with more threats predicted through the weekend. Severe thunderstorms across the Great Lakes region late Thursday had knocked out power to some 284,000 customers as of Saturday morning, with Michigan suffering a large concentration of power loss, according to PowerOutage.us. In Wisconsin, a visibly striking tornado spun through fields in New Richmond, while another caused significant damage in Hammond. In the capital of Madison, a hailstorm dropped hail up to two inches in diameter.

The severe weather risk stretches more than 1,200 miles in total, with intense storms predicted to reach as far as East Texas to the Mid-Atlantic through the weekend. After this storm system winds down, another is expected to pick up to the west, with strong tornadoes in the forecast by Sunday for parts of the Plains.

MONSTER SIZE HAIL REPORTS

New Madrid adjustments create rising and falling land masses that develop powerful upper-level atmospheric disturbances and apocalyptic historic hailstorms.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/massive-dvd-sized-hail...

How bad will it get?

"And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe." Revelation 16:21

"Revelation 8:7, hail and fire mixed with blood are hurled down upon the earth, burning a third of the earth, trees, and green grass."

Worlds in Collision, pp 51-53
The Hail of Stones - Following the red dust, a small dust, like ashes of the furnace fell in all the land of Egypt, and then a shower of meteorites flew toward the earth. We are informed by Midrashic and Talmudic sources that the stones which fell on Egypt were hot. Ipuwer wrote: Trees are destroyed. No fruits, no herbs are found. Grain has perished on every side. In the Book of Exodus it is written: And the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field. The description of such a catastrophe is found in the Visuddhi-Magga, a Buddhist text on the world cycles. When a world cycle is destroyed by wind .. there arises .. a wind. First it raises a fine dust, then coarse dust, then fine sand, then coarse sand, then grit, stones, up to boulders as large as trees. The Mexican Annals of Cuauhtitlan describe how a cosmic catastrophe was accompanied by a hail of stones.

CLIMATE CHAOS LEADS TO MAJOR FLOODING AND FLYING CHAOS

Major US airports ground all flights

AccuWeather is forecasting widespread tropical downpours in Florida this week, which have already delayed or grounded flights at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Orlando International Airport, and Miami International Airport. The rainfall forecasted along the entire East Coast has led to flight delays at Philadelphia International Airport, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, and New Jersey's Teterboro Airport as well.

Sea Surface Temperatures are rising rapidly.

"There's something happening here But what it is ain't exactly clear ... "

~Professor Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson

ZetaTalk followers know!

Tectonic plate movements are increasing due to the approach of Nibiru. This releases immense heat from the core of the Earth along fault lines in the oceans.

Rising and falling land masses also affect the atmosphere above, which combined with the hot ocean waters creates the powerful deluges we see happening now worldwide. It's all because of Nibiru.

But since Nibiru is Classified Beyond Top Secret, few people are connecting the dots. Per ZetaTalk, all tectonic plates are in motion now, and we are about to see astounding levels of Continental Drift as Nibiru approaches for the Poleshift in late 2026-27.

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. 07/21/2025.

Zetas say that Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds are a sign of increasing atmospheric turbulence caused by the influence of Nibiru - Planet X on Earth's weather patterns. According to ZetaTalk, these clouds, characterized by their wave-like, breaking-ocean appearance, are becoming more frequent due to the gravitational and electromagnetic effects of Planet X as it approaches Earth.

Per the Zetas, the instability in the atmosphere, which produces these clouds, is a symptom of broader Earth changes, including wobbling of the planet’s axis and intensified weather anomalies.

Evacuation list grows as California wildfire explodes and 15 zones told 'LEAVE NOW'

Residents across two Southern California counties have been forced to flee their homes as firefighters struggle to contain a nearly 50,000-acre wildfire.

The Gifford Fire erupted along Highway 166 west of Cayama on Friday afternoon and has since exploded in size. As of Sunday evening, the blaze has raged across 49,761 acres and is just 3% contained.

The fire is burning actively on both sides of the highway, with more active spread on the south side, and smoke is visible throughout the area. Evacuation orders have been issued in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. It comes as wildfires are creating out of control 'fire clouds' that cannot be contained.
