"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."
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.

* Floods in Southeast Brazil [Earth Observatory; 30 December, 2013]
Widespread floods are plaguing at least three states in southeastern Brazil. Heavy rains lasted throughout December 2013 in Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Espirito Santo, causing floods and mudslides. December rainfall in Espirito Santo has already reached 714 millimeters (28.11 inches), an all-time record monthly rainfall, according to weather blogger Christopher Burt. As of December 30, at least 45 people had died and an estimated 70,000 people were evacuated. Others were left isolated after the collapse of hundreds of kilometers of roads, said the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired the top image of floods along the Doce River in Espirito Santo on December 30, 2013. The lower image, from December 27, 2012, offers a contrasting view of normal conditions for the season. Floods are evident in the muddy, tan water that stretches for kilometers along the coast and in the swollen reservoirs north of the river. The Cotaxé River is also flooded, and brown smudges along the lower edge of the image indicate flooding around Vitória, the state capital, which is just out of the scene. The floods are sending plumes of sediment into the Atlantic Ocean.
* Heat wave in Argentina, flooding in Brazil. [Weather Underground; 30 December, 2013]
An intense and prolonged heat wave has enveloped northern Argentina for the past two weeks causing serious power outages and social unrest (this December may go down as the hottest month on record in Buenos Aires--since 1856) while heavy rainfall in southeastern Brazil has resulted in floods that have killed at least 44 so far.
Heat Wave in Argentina
For Buenos Aires, this month is set to be the warmest December on record and perhaps even the warmest single month on record with an average temperature so far of 26.6°C (79.9°F) at the Observatorio site. The previous warmest December was that of 1994 with a 25.5°C (77.9°F) average and the warmest month on record was January 1989 with a 26.6°C (79.9°F) average. Temperature records in Buenos Aires go back to 1856. The city has seen temperatures above 30°C (86°F) everyday since December 13th and over 33°C (91.4°F) since December 22nd. The temperature peaked at 39.0°C (102.2°F) on December 27th (the hottest temperature on record for Buenos Aires is 43.3°C/109.9°F on January 29, 1957 and the average December high is 28.1°C/82.6°F).
Climate data for Buenos Aires for December. With an average temperature of 26.°C (79.9°F) so far, it is possible that this has been the warmest month on record for the city. OGIMET.
The heat wave has prompted the Mayor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio Macri, to declare a state of emergency because of power and water shortages, and the city administration has been ordered to take a day off today (Monday December 30th) to conserve electricity. At least three deaths have so far been attributed to the heat. The heat wave is forecast to break by Wednesday (at least in the Buenos Aires region).
In the northwestern interior of Argentina temperatures over 45°C (113°F) have been observed, with a peak reading of 45.5°C (113.9°F) at Chamical, La Rioja State on December 26th. This is just 1.8°C (3.2°F) shy of the hottest reliably measured temperature in South American history (which was a reading of 47.3°C/117.1°F at Campo Gallo on October 16, 1936—other higher readings such as the oft cited 48.9°C/120°F at Rivadavia on November 12, 1905-were made with questionable instrumentation). The nearby city of Santiago Del Estero has measured 40°C (104°F) or more everyday since December 21st.

Flooding in Brazil
According to press reports, torrential rain in Espirito Santo State and Minas Gerais States (north of Rio de Janeiro) has resulted in flash floods and mudslides that have claimed the lives of at least 44. Another 61,000 have been forced to evacuate their homes. Local civil defense officials claimed “the rains to be the worst in 90 years”. Heavy rains have been plaguing portions of Brazil since October and in early December a storm killed 16 and destroyed 200 homes in the city of Lajedinho in Bahia State. This month some exceptional rainfall has fallen. Capelinha, Minas Gerais state has accumulated 930 mm (36.61") of precipitation so far. Aimores, also in Minas Gerais State, has recorded an astonishing 831 mm (32.72") which is 71% of what they normally receive in a year.
The swollen Doce River has overflowed its banks in Vitoria, the capital of Espirito Santo State, flooding portions of the city. So far this December an all-time record monthly rainfall of 714 mm (28.11") has fallen besting the previous wettest month on record of 663 mm (26.10") in November 2008. Precipitation records go back to 1923 here. Photo AFP.
* Heatwave kills seven in Argentina [BBC News; 31 December, 2013]
Meteorologists say some of the highest temperatures have been recorded since records began
A heatwave affecting Argentina has left at least seven people dead - most of them elderly - in the past week, officials say.
The heat has been compounded by power cuts, which have prevented many people from using air conditioning.
In Santiago del Estero and other northern provinces temperatures have soared to over 45C (113F).
Meteorologists say it has been the worst heatwave in the region since records began in 1906.
The victims of the extreme weather lived in Santiago del Estero, located 1,100km (680 miles) north of Buenos Aires.
Hundreds of people in the province have required medical help and doctors have warned people to stay indoors during the hottest hours.
Tyres on fire
Argentina's ageing power grid has been struggling to keep up with increased demand for air-conditioning.
Ice cream parlours and other businesses have lost their stocks due to the power cuts
Authorities are blaming the energy shortages on the hot weather. But the opposition accuses the government of mismanaging the crisis.
Many people are protesting about the lack of services, says the BBC's Irene Caselli in Buenos Aires. Some parts of the city have been without power for two weeks.
Residents have set fire to rubbish bags and tyres on the roads, causing traffic jams as many left the capital for the new year festivities.
Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri, a former ally of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, said private energy suppliers could not take all the blame.
"The main responsibility is with the federal government," he said. "The government must make sure there is an investment programme, which has not happened in the last decade."
Pakistan - record cold wave

ISLAMABAD/QUETTA: Almost the entire country was in the grip of a cold wave on Monday, with a number of cities and towns struck by temperatures ranging between -17C and -21C. The federal capital went through its most uncomfortable day in 46 years as the mercury plunged to three below Celsius.
And even Karachi, known for its mild winters, was not far behind, recording a minimum temperature of six degrees Celsius. The city is likely to face more cold on Tuesday and Wednesday.
A minimum temperature of -2.8C in Islamabad had been recorded in 1984, but the lowest temperature recorded in the city is -3.9C in 1967.
Officials said that the wave was the fallout of extreme cold weather conditions in Europe as cold winds coming from there dry up after crossing the Central Asian region.
These cold and dry winds are also delaying the winter rains as the strong currents push the warm, moist winds rising from the Arabian Sea.
“These systems coming from the northwest last up to five or six days,” Meteorological Department Director Dr Mohammad Hanif said. The Met Office forecast very cold and dry weather for Tuesday in most of the country, with cloudy conditions along with rain and light snowfall over the hills at places across a swathe stretching from Gilgit-Baltistan to Lahore and Sargodha divisions.
“But these are not the regular winter rains. They will only bring light rain because these clouds are part of the westerly wave that has separated from the European system and has reached up to Kashmir,” Dr Hanif said.
The winter rains are likely to begin after mid-January, which will be followed by the Siberian cold wave that brings very cold winds to the whole country.
The lowest temperature recorded on Monday was -15C in Kalat. It was -13C in Quetta, -12C in Skardu, -10C in Parachinar, -7C in Astore, Gupis, -6C in Malamjabba, Drosh and Murree and -5C in Gilgit.
It was the 14th day of a wave of very cold weather in northern Balochistan and Quetta. Meteorological department officials said they had recorded the lowest minimum temperature of -21C at Harboi hill station in Kalat, -17C in Ziarat, Khanozai, Toba Achakzai, Toba Kakari and Darra Kozak and -13C in Pishin and Mastung.
Pipelines burst after water froze and diesel in the fuel tanks of vehicles also froze.
Water overflowed from the sewerage system and froze on the roads. A layer of ice also formed around the walls of water tanks.
The suspension of gas supply and very low pressure increased the hardships of the people and the prices of coal, wood and kerosene skyrocketed.
Harboi, at 8,000-foot altitude, is rich with reserves of juniper forests and wildlife, including leopard, mountain wild goat Markhor, ibex, wolf, fox and wild rabbit. People of the area were forced to leave for warmer places, leaving some men to guard their homes. “People living in Harboi have dug trenches and lit juniper wood to save themselves from the extremely cold weather,” Mehboob Shahwani, a local, said.
He said gas supply to Kalat town was suspended. “Timber is being sold at Rs400 per 40kg and LPG gas at Rs220 per kg, which are unaffordable for the poor,” he said.
An All Parties Action Committee of Kalat called for immediate restoration of gas supply.
The situation in Ziarat, Khanozai, Qila Saifullah, Muslim Bagh, Toba Achakzai, Toba Kakari, Zhob and other areas was also worsening.
Ziarat was facing shortage of gas supply.
Roads and offices in Quetta wore a deserted look. The Met Office said the temperature there might drop to -15C. People of Sariab area blocked the Quetta-Sibi highway in protest against suspension of gas supply.
“Our children and elderly are falling sick because the SSGC has suspended supply to our area that has a large population,” Abdul Rashid told Dawn.

Asheville shatters rainfall record in 2013
“ASHEVILLE — The year started wet, and then it just kept raining. And rained some more.
The soggy weather pushed Asheville to a yearly rainfall record in 2013, far outpacing the old mark set 40 years ago. Along the way, area residents were forced to deal with flooding, land slides, washed out roads and crop failures.
Meteorologists can’t point to any specific global weather pattern as the cause, said William Angel, a meteorologist with the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville.
“It was just a persistent wet pattern,” Angel said. “We’ve had very efficient rain producers. The storm systems were able to tap moisture from the Pacific, the Gulf and the Atlantic.”
Many of the systems, including the one that dumped heavy rain on the mountains Sunday, were slow-moving, he said, which allowed rainfall totals to climb dramatically.
Since Jan. 1, Asheville has recorded 74.22 inches of rain, a whopping 29.49 inches above normal. This year’s total easily eclipses the old record of 64.91 inches set in 1973.”
“We are beating the old extreme by almost 10 inches,” Angel said. “It is significant.”

30 killed as worst floods in 90 years hit Brazil
Nearly 50,000 people flee their homes as thousands of homes are destroyed and many neighborhoods left without electricity.
At least 30 people lost their lives in floods and landslides caused by heavy rains in Brazil which President Dilma Rousseff described as the worst floods to hit the country in the last 90 years.
Rousseff visited on Tuesday flood-hit areas in the southeast states of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo, where she pledged millions of dollars in aid to supply necessities and rebuilt the zone.
According to the president, the government has already sent foods and medical equipment by ground and air to the area.
Espirito Santo Governor Renato Casagrande said that nearly 50,000 people fled their homes. Thousands of homes were destroyed, the transportation system was paralyzed, and many neighborhoods were left without electricity.
Casagrande expressed fear that the number of victims could rise as communication with some flood-hit areas was not in place.
Record-Breaking Warmth Across the Eastern U.S. (Dec 21)

Freak Snowfall in Vietnam Strands Drivers, Damages Crops (Dec 20)
Snowfall in Sa Pa town in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai, which began Sunday, has caused serious damage to farms.
According to the town’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, 100 hectares of chayote and another 100 hectares of flowers were destroyed, and all vegetables and other crops were buried by snow.
Heavy snowfall also led to constant traffic congestion on Highway 4D connecting Lai Chau and Lao Cai provinces. More than 50 cars were unable to continue driving, as of noon Monday.
Local authorities reported that some 5,000 people flocked to Sa Pa to watch the snow, adding to the traffic congestion.
The province has quickly mobilized workers and rescuers to remove snow and assure that travel remains safe.
The Nui Xe Station said that it began snowing at around 9am yesterday, Dec 15.
It said that at a height of over 1,900m above sea level, temperatures had dipped to as low as minus two degrees Celsius, forming icy sheets 10-20cm thick.
Average temperature in Sa Pa remained low yesterday at about minus one degree Celsius, with constant heavy smog and drizzle.
Earlier, on Thursday, the province experienced heavy downpours of 30-50cm, and temperatures in Sa Pa dropped then to 5-7 degrees Celsius.
According to the Lao Cai Hydro-meteorological Forecasting Centre, another cold spell is expected to hit the province in the coming days.
The centre has also warned of strong winds, whirlwinds and hail storms that could threaten the lives and properties of residents.
Meanwhile, northern Viet Nam as a whole has experienced intense cold weather with temperatures ranging between 17 and 11 degrees Celsius. The temperature has dropped to below 10 degrees Celsius in a few mountainous areas, weather experts have said.
The National Centre for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting yesterday echoed provincial warnings that mountainous areas in the north should be prepared for the possibility of tornadoes, hailstorms and strong winds.

It is famous for being one of the coldest, most inhospitable places on earth.
But after weeks of the warmest winter weather in living memory there's something peculiarly absent in many parts of Siberia this December - snow.
At this time of year the harsh east Russian region is normally covered in a thick layer of the white stuff with temperatures plummeting to as low as -40C.
Feeling the heat: A bridge near the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk this week on what appears to be more like a bright Spring day rather than freezing Russian winter
Unusual: Many Siberian locals say the lack of December snow is unprecedented in living memory
But in recent weeks many areas have seen daytime temperatures hovering well above zero and even more unusually long spells of heavy rain.
While Siberia remains slightly colder than western Europe, most locals say they have never experienced a December so warm.
Fyodor Olifirenko, 83, from Novosibirsk, the most northerly city in the world, told the Siberian Times: 'I do not remember such a warm December.
'In 1963 there was some thaw on December 24-25, it was raining a bit. But by morning all was frozen and after that started strong frosts.'
'But such weather - when it is constantly raining in the middle of December - I see this for the first time'.
In the city of Tomsk, where it normally averages around -15C at this time of year, the forecast next week predicts long spells of sunshine and relatively balmy temperatures of between -1C and -5C.
By comparison, the average December day time temperature in London is only slightly higher at around 6C.
A group of Tomsk locals made the most of the sunshine by stripping down to their swimming gear to pose for pictures.
Elsewhere in Siberia it's a similar story. In Krasnoyarsk, where December temperatures normally fall to between -23°C to -17°C, often hitting as low as -35°C there is barely any snow to be found at all.
And in the city of Barnaul, where at this time of year you normally find people fishing through thick ice of the Rive Ob, it has been feeling more like Spring with blue skies and ducks swimming around.
The unusually high Siberian temperatures are the latest in a long line of strange weather events this year including hail falling in Cairo and snow falling in Israel, Syria and Jordan.
Last month was the warmest November on record worldwide since records began in 1880.
There hasn't been a year like this in San Francisco since 1946 -- which was a deluge by comparison.
That was the last time so little rain fell in the city by the Bay, according to the National Weather Service.
In 1946, 8.79 inches of rain fell during the calendar year -- and this year, as of this week? Not even half as much: 3.38 inches of rain has fallen on San Francisco International Airport since January.
We're parched..
MORE: California Lawmakers Call for Drought Declaration
December is typically among the wettest months: on average 4.03 inches of rain fall during the last month of the year, or more than the city has seen to date in 2013.
By mid-December, 18.37 inches fall, on the way to 20.65 inches annually on average, according to AccuWeather.com.
Storms follow the Pacific jet stream, which has been aiming at northern Canada rather than the Bay Area, according to metereologists.
There may be rain on Thursday, but only for a short time. After that, it's dry, dry dry up until 2014.

Snowfall unprecedented in Saudi Arabia: the whitewashed desert around Tabuk [PHOTO-SHOCK] Tuesday, December 17, 2013
In recent days, an exceptional cold snap and snow has hit Europe first south / east, then across the Middle East and eventually even Saudi Arabia, with exceptional snowfall unprecedented in human memory: between 11 and 12 13 December, the snow has reached large areas of desert Arab country par excellence, especially in the region of Tabuk, an area from the typical desert climate where the average fall in December less than 10mm of rain with highs always outweigh the + 25 ° C.
arabiasaudi1002 But this time it rained so plentiful, with flooding and flooding in the desert, and heavy snow on the hills. We are in the land of Maydan and Dedan, mentioned in the Bible, where a group of dedicated local meteorology (yes, there are even there!) Have created a truly exceptional report, saying he was "thrilled" to have met on their way also some experts local meteorology, which had penetrated inland areas to observe the rare snowfall. As we can see in the pictures, the accumulations are locally abundant, even greater than 10cm, as well as very large. He has not treated by isolated snow showers grainy, but of real storms with temperatures below zero.
