"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."

Super Typhoon Hagibis strongest storm on the planet: To become the strongest of the year: Most intensification by a tropical cyclone in the western North Pacific in 25 years

It developed from tropical storm to a monster Super Typhoon in just 18 hours and is set to become the biggest and strongest storm of this year. Hagibis is currently classed as "violent" -- the Japanese Meteorological Association, (JMA) highest classification, with gusts as strong as 270 kilometres per hour. According to Japan Today,  Super Typhoon Hagibis is heading nearer Tokyo, Japanse most densely populated area, ahead of big the Rugby World Cup weekend and could affect several crucial games.

Super Typhoon Hagibis is currently the strongest storm on the planet, with the potential to become the strongest of the year. The storm gathered strength at an incredibly fast rate, intensifying from a tropical storm to a super typhoon in a mere 18 hours, with wind speeds measured at more than 155 mph and gusts up to 195 mph according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).

Philip Klotzbach, a hurricane researcher at Colorado State University, tweeted that this was the most intensification by a tropical cyclone in the western North Pacific in 18 hours since Typhoon Yates in 1996. This is also nearly three-and-a-half times the rate a storm would need to strengthen to constitute “rapid intensification,” based on the meteorological definition of that term.

The storm is currently bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms over the Northern Mariana Islands, while the more southerly islands of Rota and Guam are experiencing similar conditions, though slightly less severe due to distance from the eye.

The eyewall made direct contact with the small uninhabited island of Anatahan and is currently moving away from Micronesia. Hagibis is predicted to slowly weaken as it turns north but is predicted to impact Japan by this weekend as possibly a Category 1 or 2-equivalent storm. 

A super typhoon is a term utilized by the JTWC to describe typhoons that reach maximum sustained 1-minute surface winds of at least 150 mph, which is equivalent to a strong category 4 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale in the Atlantic basin.

This true-colour image was captured by the Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) on Japan’s Himawari-8 satellite. This satellite, the first unit of the Japan Meteorological Agency's (JMA) third-generation of geostationary satellites, provides visible light and infrared images of the Asia-Pacific region. Himawari's data are vital for global geostationary coverage, which is why NOAA and JMA have agreed to mutual back-up arrangements for their geostationary systems.

Azores prepares for possible 70-foot waves from hurricane

Lorenzo is expected to hit Portuguese islands Tuesday night

October 1, 2019 at 11:52 am

LISBON, Portugal — A hurricane packing a punch rarely witnessed in the mid-Atlantic Ocean is bearing down on the Azores Islands, placing emergency services on red alert for waves that could reach eight stories high, winds that could flatten homes and heavy rains that could turn into torrents on steep mountains.

The Category 2 Hurricane Lorenzo is expected to hit the Portuguese islands Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Waves up to 72 feet high and hurricane wind gusts over 124 mph are forecast for some islands.

Bihar and Uttar Pradesh: More than 100 dead in fresh India flood chaos

More than 100 people have died due to flooding caused by heavy rains in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, officials have said.

Dramatic images of the impact of flood water on urban life have been coming out of the affected areas.

Railway traffic, vehicular movement, healthcare services, schools and power supply have been disrupted in both states, officials said.

An Uttar Pradesh government report said 93 people have died since Thursday.

• Monsoon floods displace millions in India
• Monsoon floods ravage western India
• Is India's weather becoming more extreme?

In eastern Uttar Pradesh, flooding caused officials to relocate more than 500 prisoners from the Ballia district jail to other prisons after water entered three buildings.

The Additional District Magistrate told reporters that officials were awaiting permission to move all of the prison's 850 inmates to Azamgarh jail, which is about 120km (74 miles) away.

The death toll in Bihar is 29, according to the state disaster management authority. The impact on its main city, Patna, has been grabbing headlines.

Satellite images from 20 September and 29 September show the extent of the flooding as the Ganges river overflowed due to the torrential rains in the region.

A video of a man struggling to pull his cycle-rickshaw out of flood water has been circulated widely on social media.

In it, the man filming the video can be heard consoling the visibly upset rickshaw puller - he suggests that the man leave the vehicle where it is and return for it after the flood waters recede. He and a woman, who can be heard in the background, offer to keep an eye on it for the rickshaw puller from their spot on the balcony.

The state's Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi was on Monday rescued from his residence, the ANI news agency reported.

Mr Modi and his family were evacuated from their flooded home by disaster relief personnel.

The city has been deluged with rain since Friday, submerging many residential areas. People are navigating the main roads - which are dotted with abandoned and partially submerged vehicles - by boat.

The PTI news agency quoted an official as saying that the amount of rain the city received was "completely unexpected".

In many parts, the rain water has mixed with overflowing sewage, and the dirty water has entered several homes, according to reports.

Prairies: 'Travel not recommended' as snow, strong winds continue Sunday, September 29th 2019, 6:50 pm - Alberta officials recommend postponing non-essential travel across the south as road conditions deteriorate.

The final weekend of September looked a lot more like mid-winter across southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the snow isn't over yet. Some spots are already buried in drifts a metre deep, and with the storm set to linger into Monday, more is on the way. Gusty winds have also made travel dangerous in blizzard-like conditions across much of the region. We look at what's fallen so far, and what's still to come, below.

The calendar may say September, but you wouldn't be able to tell across much of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan this weekend. 80 cm of snowfall was reported in some of Alberta's high mountain communities by Sunday morning, and that was only the start of a day filled with another round of heavy snow.

Other parts of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan had already picked up hefty amounts by Sunday morning, as well.

Sunday was another long, snowy day, not just in extreme southern Alberta, but as far north as Red Deer, and as far east as Regina by late Sunday afternoon, as a Colorado low south of the border funnelled additional moisture into the region.

While Environment Canada has yet to release further official snowfall totals, by early Sunday evening amounts in excess of 20 cm were being reported by Calgary residents, with around 25 cm in Lethbridge.

Heavy, wet snow started to bring down tree branches across parts of southern Saskatchewan by Sunday afternoon. SaskPower has reported outages in the Assiniboia area due to downed power poles, while area residents took to Twitter to report power outages in Moose Jaw.

Travel in southern Alberta was treacherous on Sunday, and officials urged drivers to keep off the roads if at all possible. "Poor winter driving conditions have been reported across southern Alberta," 511 Alberta said in a statement. "Travel is not advised south of Highway 1 due to poor visibility and heavy snowfall within this region. An Environment Canada winter storm warning remains in effect. Postpone all non-essential travel. If you must travel, ensure your headlights are on, reduce speed, and share your travel plans with others."

Snowfall will begin to ease overnight into Monday for southern Alberta, though Monday morning commutes will still be a challenge. Some school boards were already starting to report closures by Sunday evening.

Snow will lift north across southern Saskatchewan into early Monday, with some mixing of rain and snow possible through the overnight before precipitation turns back to snow for Monday afternoon. Snow will taper off there through Monday evening.

WEATHER NEWS
Lorenzo, the most powerful cyclone ever seen in the northeast Atlantic

updated on 29/09/19

https://actualite.lachainemeteo.com/actualite-meteo/2019-09-29/lore...

The hurricane LORENZO, classified in category 5/5 this Sunday is the most powerful cyclone ever observed on the northeast of the Atlantic basin. It will pass close to the archipelago of the Azores Wednesday, before going back to the British Isles.

According to estimates by the US National Hurricabe Center (NHC), the average wind speed of one minute reaches 200 km / h and gusts 300 km / h. The pressure at its center is estimated at 915hPa, which makes it a particularly hollow depression since the mean average pressure at sea level is 1013hPa. This cyclone was ranked this Sunday as the most powerful ever observed in this Eastern Atlantic area. Its intensity greatly exceeds that of hurricane Julia in 2010 which had reached category 4. Fortunately, this cyclone evolves on an area completely devoid of inhabited islands.

Azores hit Wednesday

This cyclone does not move towards the West Indian arc, but curves northwards to pass through a mouse hole between the western Atlantic anticyclone and the famous Azores anticyclone, which lies off the Atlantic Ocean. Portuguese coasts. Next Tuesday and Wednesday , it should pass west of the Azores archipelago in category 2 or 3 on the Saffir-Simpson scale. It will generate a very strong cyclonic swell, very strong winds and potentially torrential rains on the Azores. The consequences will obviously depend on the distance to which it will pass off the archipelago.

Western Europe threatened at the end of the week?

If the trajectory forecasts are still unreliable regarding its course after its passage off the Azores, the vast majority of models see the cyclone continue its course towards the northeast, towards the British Isles. But some isolated models consider the possibility that this hurricane reaches the rank of classic storm Brittany next Friday! It is therefore necessary to closely monitor its trajectory because the reliability is limited to this deadline. Hurricane Ophelia was remembered in early October 2017 when it hit Ireland as a very strong tropical storm with a 191 km / h gust at Fastnet on the country's south-west coast.

Is California About To Get Hit By A Hurricane For The Very First Time In U.S. History?
September 19, 2019
In the entire history of our country, a hurricane has never made landfall in the state of California. So if such a thing actually happened, it would be considered to be an extremely unusual event. Well, right now there are three very dangerous tropical storms swirling in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Tropical Storm Kiko is not expected to be a serious threat to make landfall, but Tropical Storm Lorena and Tropical Storm Mario “are expected to become hurricanes by Friday as they approach the Mexican coast”. Tropical Storm Lorena is the more immediate threat, and the latest forecast is projecting that it will reach Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula by Saturday. If it maintains hurricane strength and continues to ride up the west coast, it is entirely possible that we could see something that we have never seen before. Most forecasters don’t want to talk too much about it yet, because it truly would be an unprecedented event, but there really is a chance that California could get hit by a hurricane for the very first time in U.S. history.

Warren firefighters won't waste water on house fires - AUSTRALIA
we'll be bathing in salt water."

2 Sep 2019,
https://www.theland.com.au/story/6360616/well-be-bathing-in-salt-wa...

The town of Warren is a gateway to one of Australia's most important wetlands - the fast dessicating Macquarie Marshes.

If Rod Barclay or other firefighters get the call that a house is ablaze in the north-western NSW town of Warren, chances are they won't bother to put it out.

"Our priority is to save lives first, save water second," Barclay says on Thursday outside Warren's two-tanker fire station.

Should one of the town's typical three-bedroom weatherboard homes ignite, Fire and Rescue NSW crews will only turn their hoses on the fire if they have to rescue anyone inside.

Otherwise it will be sacrificed and water used merely to spray neighbouring homes if flames threaten to spread.

"Warren is the first location in which we're undertaking this new strategy,"
"We could easily waste a couple of thousand litres on a house that's going to be lost," he says. "That water can certainly be used much better elsewhere in the community."

Warren, nestled beside the Macquarie River and midway between Brisbane and Melbourne, is at the epicentre of the worst drought to hit that region of inland NSW since European settlement.

"The water table is going lower and it's becoming saltier," says the shire's general manager Glenn Wilcox.

If the trend continues, he adds, "We'll never run dry but we'll be bathing in salt water."

That agency told the TheSun-Herald and Sunday Age that sodium levels came in at 276 milligrams per litre, or slightly higher than the average since 2001.

"The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines note that people may taste sodium in water above 180 mg/L," NSW Health said.

medical practitioners treating people with severe hypertension or congestive heart failure should be aware if the sodium concentration in the patient's drinking water exceeds 20 mg/L".

Wilcox says water conductivity - another measure of quality - had also jumped four-fold or more.
