"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 Arctic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity."

Record cold temperatures hit Canadian Prairies

Polar vortex continues to bring piercing cold to the Canadian Prairies -- Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta -- since Sunday, February 7, 2021. According to Environment Canada, 22 cold weather records were smashed throughout the three provinces, while the Northwest Territories recorded the coldest temperature for the whole country in nearly four years with -51.9 °C (-61.4 °F).

On Sunday, the coldest temperature was in Uranium City, where the mercury hit -48.9 °C (-56 °F), breaking the previous record of -40 °C (-40 °F) set in 2019.

In Alberta, the coldest temperature was in Fort Chipewyan, where the mercury plummeted to -47.3 °C (-53.1 °F), smashing the past record of -45.6 °C (-50 °F) in 1936.

Edmonton International Airport was close to setting a daily temperature record with -43.8 °C (-46.8 °F). The previous record set on the same day was -43.9 °C (-47 °F) set in 1994.

In Manitoba, the Roblin community set a new record of -42 °C (-43.6 °F), beating the past record of -40.6 °C (-41.08 °F) in 1972.

Canada also logged its coldest temperature in almost four years as the Northwest Territories confirmed a reading of -51.9 °C (-61.4 °F).

Environment Canada meteorologist Terri Lang told CTVNews that the last time such cold temperatures were recorded in Canada was in March 2017, when the mercury hit -54.7 °C (-66.5 °F) in Mould Bay.

"The spinning up of the cold air up around the North Pole deepens and strengthens in the winter because of the lack of sunshine," said Lang. The polar vortex contains Arctic air that sits over the poles for most of the winter, which falls into Canada when the weather systems break down heading into spring.

"Across [the] Prairies, we're just getting some of that cold air that's coming down because the jet stream has looped far enough south. This is what happens every winter, and it’s what gives Canada its cold weather."

"It's going to be here for a while," Lang added. "Once that really deep, cold air settles in, it's kind of hard to move out. It's very dense, it's very heavy, so it's really hard to get it out of there."

The remnants of the polar vortex will stay between Alberta and Manitoba for the week and then move into some regions of British Columbia as the wind chill makes the weather even colder.

Dutch authorities declared a rare 'code red' emergency for the entire country on Sunday, February 7, 2021, as a severe snowstorm, named Darcy by their meteorologists, hit parts of western Europe. This was the first major snowstorm to hit the Netherlands since January 2010. The storm also affected parts of Germany, disrupting road, rail, and air traffic, and the United Kingdom. Dozens of people were injured, with some of them severely. 

• While the stormy weather will end today and tomorrow, most of Europe is now in for a significant cold outbreak.
• If models prove right, the cold will last through the end of February. This prolonged cold outbreak is associated with the Sudden Stratospheric Warming event in early January 2021 and the subsequent breakdown of the polar vortex.

Darcy dropped temperatures to -5 °C (23 °F) on Sunday and brought heavy snow to the region.

Most of the Netherlands received from 5 to 10 cm (2 - 4 inches) of snow, and locally up to 30 cm (12 inches) or more.

Eindhoven airport in the country's south was shut down while Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport delayed or canceled dozens of flights.

All trains were canceled in the country, including international services to Germany, France24 reports. At least 80 car accidents were reported on Sunday alone.

The German Weather Service (DWD) issued an extreme weather warning ahead of the storm, saying emergency crews across the country have been put on standby.

Darcy brought dense snowdrifts and limited visibility, causing major disruptions in parts of the country, including Hamburg and Hanover.

The city of Muenster was among the hardest-hit places with so much snow on the streets that ambulances could no longer drive.

Police officials said hundreds of accidents took place on German roads on Sunday. In North Rhine-Westphalia, a total of 222 car accidents were registered since Saturday. 

Police in NRW closed several motorways after they froze and turned into an ice rink.

DWD issued its highest warnings for parts of NRW, Lower Saxony, and Saxony-Anhalt. Black ice was also forecast for parts of NRW, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Thuringia, and Saxony.

The country saw up to 30 cm (12 inches) with up to 40 cm (16 inches) expected in northern regions overnight Monday, February 8.

Darcy also brought strong winds and snow to southeast England on Sunday.

The UK Met Office has issued amber weather warnings for snow, suggesting widespread travel disruptions and possible power cuts in parts of London, the east and south-east of England, for Sunday and Monday morning.

Most of Europe is in for a significant cold, and heavy snow in parts of the continent, in the days ahead. If models prove right, the cold will last through the end of February.

Widespread overnight frosts are expected, with freezing temperatures expected during the daytime, too.

Apocalyptic floods in Paraguay, Indonesia and Germany (videos)

Floods in February 2021.

In Paraguay, 10 people have died in floods and landslides triggered by heavy rain over the last few days.

Some central areas saw 500mm more than normal during January.

The level of the Paraguay River Asunción has risen 1.98 metres over the last 7 days.

Recent flooding in East and Central Java Provinces of Indonesia have affected around 25,000 people. At least 1 was reported dead and several other missing.

Flood water was up to 1.3 metres deep in some areas.

A tiny community in western Germany was cut off Wednesday by the flooded Rhine River, while authorities cautioned that continued rain and melting snow could cause further problems in many regions.

Shipping traffic on the Rhine in the Cologne area has been stopped.

Flood warnings for multiple other rivers, primarily in western and southern Germany.

Mongolia is in the grip of one of its most extreme winters on record, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), with temperatures forecast to plunge to -50 °C (-58 °F). The severe cold has killed more than 500 camels in the central region, threatening livestock and leaving many herder families vulnerable.

The extreme weather, called dzud, threatens the livelihoods and health of thousands of Mongolian herders residing in the country's remote provinces.

As a pre-emptive action, the Mongolian Red Cross Society (MRCS) has sent financial assistance and livestock nutrition kits in target areas to help them in meeting their needs, as well as to save their livestock-- the main source of livelihoods for Mongolians.

On January 12, 2021, local media reported that the frigid temperatures killed more than 500 Bactrian camels in the central province of Uvurkhangai.

"The camel is said to be the most tolerant livestock of dzud and drought. However, even camels are dying in our soum this winter," an elder herder said at a meeting between authorities and herders.

Local herdsmen added that dozens of small livestock animals have been perishing almost every day.

An intense winter storm is rapidly developing over southern Canada, forecast to move into the Midwest of the United States and reach the Southeast states by Friday. The severe wind event will spread across the Northern and High Plains tonight into Thursday, followed by an Arctic cold blast towards Florida and the East Coast by the coming weekend according to Severe Weather Europe.

Extreme winds wreaked havoc all over southern Alberta on Wednesday as a wind warning was in full effect. The windy weather started in the early morning hours and carried into the rest of the day. Hundreds of Lethbridge residents experienced power outages. There were also downed trees, damage to several buildings and debris flying around the region. "I see there's a lot of shingles ripped off, I went for a walk - a short walk to take those pictures - and then coming back, I had to walk right into the west wind and it was brutal," said Brent Kunz, a Taber resident. Kunz added that despite living in a windy region, the weather conditions he and his family experienced on Wednesday were unlike anything they're accustomed to seeing.

A powerful winter storm named Filomena by the Spanish Meteorological Agency -- AEMET -- is affecting the Iberian Peninsula, bringing record cold temperatures, heavy rain, and historic snow. Capital Madrid was one of several Spanish regions on red alert, a historic occurrence, due to heavy snow. The storm is expected to weaken and move northeast by Sunday, January 10, 2021.

Snow and ice started accumulating on Thursday and Friday, January 7 and 8, seriously affecting travel conditions across portions of the peninsula.

Late Friday afternoon, the Directorate General of Traffic in Spain reported 360 roads have been impacted by the storm, dozens of secondary roads were also closed while other roadways now require chains on tires or prohibit truck traffic. 

For capital Madrid, Filomena is the worst storm in 80 years. Residents who ignored official warnings were caught by surprise as they have not seen snow there for at least 10 years. 

Winters in Madrid are normally dry and quite mild and the last time it snowed like this in Madrid was back in March 1971. Many streets across the capital are impassable because the plows practically do not exist there.

Madrid Barajas International Airport had all incoming and outgoing flights suspended on Friday, leaving hundreds of passengers waiting for the weather to clear up.

Heavy rainfall, strong winds, and rough seas with huge waves forced the evacuation of 65 people from a ferry that ran aground while trying to approach a dock in the Gran Canaria island.

At least 3 people have been killed, as of 16:00 UTC today. Two people traveling in a car drowned after a river in Malaga burst its banks while a homeless person froze to death in the city of Calatayud.

Madrid’s airport remained closed on January 9 and the Community of Madrid remains on red alert due to the extreme risk of snowfall and the danger it poses.

Many roads throughout the region are still waiting for snowplows, causing heavy traffic to build up as drivers ignored pleas from the community to stay at home, EuroWeekly reports.

Hundreds of stranded lorry drivers who had to pull up overnight as conditions worsened are still stranded on the roads.

Madrid Police officials said a number of trucks have been abandoned, with their drivers taken to hospitals suffering the early onset of hypothermia.

On Wednesday, January 6, Spain registered its coldest temperature on record when the mercury in Catalan Pyrenees station dropped to -34.1 °C (-29.4 °F), breaking the previous record set on February 2, 1956. 

The storm is expected to weaken and move northeast by Sunday, January 10, 2021.

Unseasonal, record-breaking storm hits Nunavut, Canada

A powerful storm hit Nunavut, Canada, on Sunday, December 27, 2020, bringing record wind gusts of up to 135 km/h (84 mph) and heavy snow. Meteorologists said it was unusual for such a storm to occur this late in December, affecting much of the territory.

The storm brought winds of up to 135 km/h (84 mph), which was record-breaking, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada. 

"It was like an all-day thing. The wind was so strong," Pangnirtung mayor Eric Lawlor said.

"Many shacks and cabins are gone. Many, many snowmobile windshields are gone. Some injuries we have heard of so far," Pangnirtung resident Sky Panipak stated, adding that one person sustained injuries and had to be taken to a southern hospital.

Meteorologist Sara Hoffman reported that out of 25 communities, 23 were affected by the storm. "It's pretty unusual for a storm like that this late in December. We don't typically see that."

Hoffman noted that her team is looking into whether Sunday was a record-breaking day for such a storm in the territory.
