"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.
Comment
March 2013 was the warmest recorded in Tasmania, with an unprecedented run of hot days to start, almost no cold weather, and another warm burst in the final week (before a cool final day). There was some heavy rain in the central north.
A prolonged heatwave affected Tasmania and the rest of southeast Australia between 2 and 13 March, helping create the warmest March ever recorded in Tasmania. Many sites had their highest March mean temperature on record or their highest for many years. In several cases the March record was set in 2010, with 1974 and 1971 also very warm for Tasmania. Averaged across the state, the mean temperature was a March record of 15.7 °C, which is 2.2 °C above normal and 0.3 °C warmer than the previous record from 1974. The state average maximum temperature was a March record of 21.0 (2.9 °C above normal and 0.9 °C above the previous record from 1974), and minimum temperatures were the 3rd-warmest for March at 10.3 °C (1.6 °C above normal).
A near-stationary high over the Tasman Sea directed warm air across the state from the 2nd to the 13th, and coincided with exceptionally high sea surface temperatures. The heatwave was characterised by prolonged sequences of days and nights above threshold temperatures, and was accompanied by high humidity and generally light winds. Launceston reached 30 °C on 8 consecutive days from the 5th to the 12th, double the previous record for such a warm spell (28 to 31 January 2009). Lake St Clair and Sheffield both had an unprecedented 9 consecutive days reaching 25 °C, whilst Hobart Airport and Orford had 7 consecutive nights above 15 °C. With the heatwave affecting Victoria and SA as well, a Special Climate Statement was prepared.
The heatwave included several particularly warm days; the hottest day was the 12th with 37.4 °C at Bushy Park, and 37.3 °C at Grove. Some sites (including Launceston) had their highest March temperature on record, either on the 7th or the 12th. Although the second half of the month was not as warm as the first half, the 27th saw an approaching cold front push temperatures into the 30s at many sites. The 32.8 °C at Bushy Park that day was within a whisker of the highest late-season temperature ever recorded in Tasmania (33.0 °C at Scamander on 27 March 1990), whilst Launceston (30.0 °C), Strathgordon (28.5 °C) and Lake Leake (27.0 °C) were among sites that had their highest late-season maximum.
The warm weather at the start of the month, and a shortage of cold weather, meant almost all sites had their highest March mean daily maximum temperature on record (the main exceptions were on the east and south coasts, where 2010 was warmer). Many sites broke their previous records by a wide margin, and in several cases were more than 3 °C above the March average.
There was some cold weather: on the 16th and 17th temperatures in the low to mid-teens were common, some snow fell on the highest peaks, and Mount Wellington reached just 5.3 °C. For most sites the coolest day was the 31st in the wake of a cold front.
Overnight temperatures were also persistently high through the first part of the month, peaking on the 12th or 13th when some sites (including Hobart, Bicheno and Devonport) had their warmest March night on record. With little in the way of cold nights it was not surprising that many sites had their highest March mean daily minimum temperature on record.
The coldest morning for most places was the 17th (when Mount Wellington fell to -1.7 °C and Liawenee and Mount Read also dropped below zero), or at the very start of the month: Liawenee dipped to -1.4 °C on the 1st.
Another low temperature record falls in Hawaii
A third low temperature record has fallen as cold north winds bring unseasonably cool temperatures to the islands.
Wednesday's low temperature of 59 degrees at the Lihue Airport broke a record low temperature set in 1956 of 60 degrees for this date.
It's the third low temperature record to fall in the last couple of days.
The temperature at Honolulu International Airport dropped to 61 degrees Tuesday morning, below the date's previous record of 62 degrees set in 2002.
The lowest temperature ever recorded in Honolulu is 52 degrees, marked on Jan. 20, 1969. Coincidentally, the coldest temperature ever recorded in Lihue — 50 degrees — falls on the same date.
It's also cold on Hawaii island, where thousands are gathering this week for the annual Merrie Monarch Festival celebrating hula and Hawaiian culture.
Temperatures dipped to 58 degrees at Hilo Airport Tuesday morning, lower than the previous record of 60 degrees set in 1953.
Hilo hit an all-time-low of 53 degrees on Feb. 21, 1962.
National Weather Service forecasters say things should start to change Thursday as warmer trade winds return. But the winds are still light, so expect another night of long-sleeve and sweater weather this evening as temperatures dip into the 50s and low 60s.
Trade winds could also bring a few showers to the usual windward and mauka areas
A man looks at floodwaters surrounding his home in Puente Duero, Spain on April 1, 2013. Spain suffered its wettest March since 1947, according to information released by the Spanish meteorological agency AEMET.
Precipitation
The month of March has been extremely wet in most of Spain, so that the average monthly rainfall nationwide reached the value of 157 mm., Which exceeds three times the normal value of the month is 46 mm. (Period: 1971-2000). Attempts have been the wettest March in Spain as a whole throughout the series started in 1947, exceeding 20 mm. as of March 1947, which had been so far the highest average precipitation.
As shown on the map attached in March accumulated rainfall exceeded 300% of the average in Spain, except for the regions of the northern peninsula, as well as the Mediterranean coast and the Balearic and Canary Islands part. Only small areas of the southeast peninsula and southern Balearic March rainfall did not reach normal values. Because of these heavy and persistent rainfall in March, there has been the fact that in many observatories scattered communities of Asturias, Castilla y Leon, Madrid, La Rioja, Castilla La Mancha and Extremadura Andalusia has been the month wettest March of the corresponding series, having surpassed himself in many seasons the previous maximum number of precipitation days in this month. As an example we can highlight data observatory Jaén, where there have been throughout the month to 247.4 mm. , Which is more than double the previous maximum value of the series (begun in 1985) corresponding to 2001 with 121.3 mm and Ciudad Real, where there have been 157.8 mm compared to the previous maximum of 104 , 7 mm in 1975, all on a series begun in 1971.
Downpours with enough grunt to cause flooding are needed to reverse dry soil conditions that are already killing off century-old native trees, a climate scientist says.
Jim Salinger says 70-100mm of rain is needed over a week to redress the driest soil conditions since records began 70 years ago in Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Wairarapa and Westland.
Already, native trees including rimu - some over 100 years old - were starting to die out in Auckland.
Masterton's soil moisture was near Auckland's, meaning natives there were also at risk.
With no serious rain on the horizon, there was little that could be done for native trees and shrubs in the face of these conditions.
''It's going to rain over the next couple of weeks but that will be it for the next while.''
The 70-100mm of rain needed could cause flooding if it arrived over a short period but would not if it fell steadily over a week.
He has used a measure of soil dryness called potential evapotranspiration deficits (PED), which measures water going into the soil from rain, against that leaving through run-off, evaporation, and use by plants.
''Until there is an extended spell of rainfall during April in these drought effected areas it is probable farmers will continue to struggle to maintain adequate home grown feed supplies for stock. Producers will face extended difficulties in maintaining production on their land," Dr Salinger said.
Anything with a PED rating over 500 was extreme.
Between July last year and March this year, Masterton recorded 554, Palmerston North 432, Taupo 467, Auckland 560, and Tauranga 601.
Wellington Airport had a PED rating of 509, the third driest since records began there in 1960. At Kelburn, the rating was 346, which was above average and not unusual, Dr Salinger said.
Drought now covers almost 99 percent of Texas
More than 98 percent of Texas is in some level of abnormal dryness as spring arrives, conditions that could set drought records and lead to severe water restrictions in some regions of the state.
The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor report released Thursday by the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Neb., showed increases in Texas in each of the five levels of drought. Only 1.4 percent of the state is not in drought, compared with 3.6 percent a week ago.
Nearly 11 percent of Texas is in "exceptional" drought, the most severe level, up from 9.9 percent a week ago. Three months ago, 95.4 percent of the state was in drought.
Tarrant County is mostly in the "severe" drought category except for a sliver along the Johnson County border, which is in "extreme" drought. Neighboring counties including Johnson, Hood, Somervell and Bosque are entirely in "extreme" drought.
Conditions statewide are now only slightly better than they were six months into the 2011 drought, the worst one-year dry spell in Texas' history, said state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon. Conditions have steadily worsened because five of the past six months have had lower than average rainfall, he said.
Soil moisture is low statewide, and reservoirs and aquifers have not fully recharged since 2011, Nielsen-Gammon added.
"Depending on how much rain we get in the spring or summer, we may be facing more water restrictions in some parts of the state, maybe some that haven't been used before," he said.
The Edwards Aquifer, the primary water source for San Antonio, is one of several basins affected by the drought. The aquifer is nearing historically low levels, and Nielsen-Gammon said authorities fear they will have to place the most severe restrictions ever on residents in the city, one of the nation's 10 largest metropolitan areas.
Several lakes, rivers and streams also remain unusually dry. A Central Texas water authority recently cut off irrigation waters from rice farmers for the second year in a row after several Central Texas reservoirs failed to refill.
Some parts of the state could break drought records set over a seven-year stretch in the 1950s -- a dry spell so severe all water planning in Texas is based on those conditions.
"Officially, we're still in the same drought since 2011," Nielsen-Gammon said. "There's never been a time when even half the state has been out of drought so this is the third year of drought, and if it lasts through the summer, it will be the second worst drought on record."
Based on current forecasts, that is a real possibility.
Meteorologists, including Nielsen-Gammon, say outlooks show below normal rainfall during the spring -- generally the rainy season for chunks of the state -- and warm temperatures through the summer.
Buenos Aires Inundated By Record Rainfall (Apr 2)
Argentina's capital was hit Tuesday by the heaviest rains in more than a century, causing floods that claimed at least six lives and left pockets of the city without electricity.
About 350,000 residents were affected by a storm that dumped up to 185 millimeters (7.3 inches) in 7 hours in the early hours of the morning, Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri said in a news conference.
The city is struggling to prepare for additional problems and has deployed hundreds of emergency workers due to weather forecasts calling for more rain, the mayor said.
At least six people likely died due to flooding, Alberto Crescenti, the head of the national health service, SAME, told reporters. One of the fatalities included a subway worker who was electrocuted when he entered a flooded station the capital, according to the subway workers union.
Local news stations showed cars covered up to their roofs in water, flooded homes and offices, and emergency workers crossing some of the hardest hit areas in inflatable boats.
Residents tried to clear storm drains plugged by garbage and other detritus. As night set in, some angry residents in areas still without electricity took to banging pots and pans as a form of protest.
The storm would have caused even more chaos had it not been for two back to back public holidays—Easter and Veterans Day—that have kept government offices and many businesses closed since last Thursday.
Power was cut in seven of some of the heaviest-populated neighborhoods of the city due to the risk of electrocution.

Statewide snowpack at half of normal levels
With the statewide snowpack at only 52% of the norm for this time of year, state and federal water managers are expecting below-normal spring runoff and falling reservoir levels.
The last three months in California have been the driest of any January-through-March period on record, going back to 1895.
It has been a winter of extremes in the state, beginning with an unusually wet November and December and ending with a string of parched months.
Storage in the state’s two largest reservoirs, Shasta Lake and Lake Oroville, is a bit above normal for the date, thanks to the big storms in the Northern Sierra that turned the final three months of last year into the 10th-wettest on record for that region.
But that cushion is expected to disappear in the coming months. Although no one is declaring drought, the state last week cut projected water deliveries to Southern California.

Driest First Quarter of Year on Record for Much of California
There was no ‘miracle March’ for rain lovers in California this year following an exceptionally dry January and February. The dry weather continued through March resulting in the driest first three months of the year on record for San Francisco and other sites across the state.
San Francisco received a March total of .96” with half this amount falling on the last day of the month (Sunday March 31st). This brought the 3-month total (since January 1st) to 2.30”, just 19% of normal (normal amount for the period is 12.22”) and is thus the driest such period since precipitation records began in the fall of 1849. The previous driest Jan-March period was in 1851 when 3.20” was measured. The next (now 3rd) driest was during the great drought of 1975-1977 when only 3.31” was recorded in Jan-March 1976. It is quite astonishing to see the huge margin between this year’s driest ever Jan-March (2.30”) and the previous such record of 3.20” in 1851: a full 30%, and this for a site with 163 years of record.
Across the Bay from San Francisco, Oakland was even drier (it missed, for instance, the isolated rain cell that dropped heavy rain (.48”) on San Francisco yesterday. The January-March total for Oakland has been a meager 1.30” (JAN: .29”, FEB: .52”, MAR: .49”). The monthly totals in San Francisco were JAN: .49”, FEB: .85”, MAR: .96”. Oakland’s normal Jan-March rainfall is 12.60” so this year is running just 10% of normal at this time.
Here are some of the three-month totals (January-March 2013) for other sites in the San Francisco Bay Area and northern California (listed from north to south):
Weather: Coldest Easter and no respite in sight
Published on Monday 1 April 2013 00:00
SCOTLAND endured the coldest Easter Day on record yesterday – with –12.5C recorded on Royal Deeside.
The temperature shattered the previous record of –9.8C on Easter Monday 1986.
And weathermen warn that high pressure sitting to the north of the UK will continue to bring cold conditions until next weekend.
The honour of the record-breaking low fell to Braemar between Saturday night and Sunday morning. It followed another freezing night on Friday, when –11C (12F) was recorded in the same area.
Lying snow and light winds were blamed for creating the ice-box conditions.
Overall, this March has been provisionally declared the coldest in 50 years. A spokesman for the Met Office in Aberdeen said: ”Frost and low temperatures are not uncommon at this time of the year. What is unique about this Easter is this extreme low temperature recorded on Sunday morning – it’s unique.”
Families heading out for a walk on Easter Day experienced some of the chilliest conditions for years, though daytime temperatures are predicted to rise into April.
Towns and cities across Scotland were last night down to –3C and –4C (25-27F).
The Met Office spokesman added: “You could say things are fairly settled – remaining cold and frosty at night, but with things warming up during the day. There will be the odd snow flurry on the east coast, but, effectively, high pressure is guaranteeing no change for the forseeable future.”
Thousands of families jetted off for sunnier climes last Thursday and Friday, but many would have found the surprise Easter weather extended into Europe’s traditional hot-spots, forecasters also warned.
Spring: Where has it gone?
This week, violent easterly winds and drifting snow made a mockery of spring, and battered the most resilient living things in Britain.
A "wreck" of more than 500 puffins occurred on eastern Scotland, the biggest mass fatality since 1947. Welsh mountain sheep, and other equally hardy breeds, have been smothered by Easter snowdrifts on high ground from Snowdonia to the Isle of Man that recall the gruesome winter of 1963. And a week of digging into 35ft snowdrifts in search of lambing ewes has brought tears to the eyes of the hardiest farmers
