"We warned at the start of ZetaTalk, in 1995, thatunpredictable 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."
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-alaskaJim 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.
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.
Deadly Cyclone Mekunu lashes Oman, Yemen with flooding and high winds
Cyclone Mekunu made landfall on the Arabian Peninsula on Friday night, leaving three people dead in Oman and 40 others missing, according to local officials.
Landfall occurred around midnight local time about 40 km west-southwest of Salalah, which is Oman’s third-largest city, according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Jason Nicholls.
Mekunu became an extremely severe cyclonic storm with winds equal to a Category 3 hurricane in the Atlantic or East Pacific Ocean prior to making landfall.

A north-to-northwest track first brought life-threatening impacts to Socotra, as Mekunu passed just north of the island with waves of rain and wind.
A state of emergency was declared in Socotra, a Yemeni island located between the Horn of Africa and Arabian Peninsula, after the storm flooded villages and left at least 40 missing on Thursday, according to theDaily News. Officials fear some of the missing are dead.
Western Oman and eastern Yemen then bore the brunt of Mekunu's wind and heavy rainfall on Friday and into early Saturday.
The storm is being blamed for the death of three people in Oman, including a 12-year-old girl.

Salalah's airport and port were both closed and portions of the city were left without power as high winds brought down trees and power lines.
Salalah's airport is scheduled to reopen on Sunday morning.
At least 600 people took shelter at local schools during the storm, the AP reported.
This became the first major cyclone to affect both Oman and Yemen in the history of record keeping in the Arabian Sea.
Now that the cyclone has made landfall, Mekunu will continue to weaken. Despite the lessening of wind speeds, torrential rain will persist into Sunday, bringing the continued threat of life-threatening flooding and mudslides. Where rainfall is not as heavy across southern Saudi Arabia, blowing sand and dust are possible.
JELLYFISH SPRITES OVER OKLAHOMA: Last night, May 24th, a swarm of luminous jellyfish appeared over Oklahoma. "A swarm of jellyfish *sprites*, that is," says Paul Smith, who photographed them rising above an intense thunderstorm near Oklahoma City.
"The sprites were about 80 miles away from me," says Smith. "At that distance I could see over the tops of the storm cells where the jellyfish appear. I've photographed many sprites from 200 to 300 miles away. These, however, were unusually nearby, and they are my best pictures yet."
Sprites are an exotic form of upward directed lightning. Although the forms have been seen for at least a century, many scientists did not believe they existed until after 1989 when sprites were photographed by cameras onboard the space shuttle. Now "sprite chasers" like Smith routinely photograph them from their own homes.
"I have been recording sprites since last summer when I accidentally caught a few during the Perseid meteor shower," says Smith. "I have a couple of hundred events on camera now and I am out almost every night there are storms in my vicinity. This month I have driven for five hours some nights trying to find a clear view over active cells."
Oklahoma is the epicenter of a region that we call "Sprite Alley"--a corridor stretching across the US Great Plains where intense thunderstorms produce lots of upward directed lightning. Already this year we have received reports of sprites and their stronger cousins, Gigantic Jets, from Texas to Nebraska. And summer thunderstorm season isn't even fully underway yet.
Some researchers think that sprites may be linked to cosmic rays: Subatomic particles from deep space strike the top of Earth's atmosphere, producing secondary electrons that trigger the upward bolts. If this is true, then sprites could multiply in the months and years ahead as cosmic rays intensify due to the decline of the solar cycle.
1 Dead as Tropical Cyclone Sagar Brings Life-Threatening Flood Threat to Somalia, Djibouti, Yemen
Story Highlights
Tropical Cyclone Sagar is in the Gulf of Aden between Yemen and Somalia.
Sagar's main threat is dangerous flash flooding in the deserts of southern Yemen, northern Somalia and Djibouti into the weekend.
At least one person has been killed by Sagar in Yemen.
Tropical cyclones moving from the Arabian Sea into the Gulf of Aden aren't rare.
However, few tropical cyclones have penetrated the western Gulf of Aden in the satellite era.
Tropical Cyclone Sagar is making a rare journey into the western Gulf of Aden between the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa, and is expected to unleash dangerous flash flooding in parts of Yemen, Somalia and Djibouti into the weekend.
Tropical Depression 1A was named Sagar by the Indian Meteorological Department, the agency with primary responsibility for tropical cyclone forecasting in the North Indian Ocean, including the Arabian Sea. Locally, it is known as Cyclonic Storm Sagar.
As of Friday evening, local time (Yemen is 7 hours ahead of U.S. EDT), Sagar is a small, compact tropical cyclone with winds estimated at tropical storm force, according to both the Indian Meteorological Department and the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
At least one elderly woman was killed near Aden, Yemen when her house caught on fire caused by Sagar, according to the Associated Press.

Sagar continues to exhibit a tight core of convection with some outer rainbands occasionally moving into parts of the Yemeni and northern Somali coasts. An eyewall was even trying to build in afternoon satellite imagery.
Current Storm Status
The highest cloud tops, corresponding to the most vigorous convection, are shown in the brightest red colors in this infrared satellite image. Clustering, deep convection around the center is a sign of a healthy tropical cyclone.
Sagar has gained some strength, according tosatellite intensity estimates, taking advantage of a favorable environment of low wind shear and water temperatures up to 31 degrees Celsius (87.8 degrees Fahrenheit).
The main danger from Sagar will be heavy rainfall, with parts of northwest Somalia, northeast Ethiopia and possibly Djibouti picking up 3 inches or more of rain.
The emergency center of Yemen's Health Ministry reported that flash flooding is causing sewage to pour into the streets of Aden, Yemen, according to the Associated Press.
These are substantial totals in desert environments that don’t typically get much moisture, and where the rugged landscape is prone to flash flooding. For instance, theaverage yearly rainfall in Djibouti Cityis only around 6.4 inches (163.5 millimeters).
Rainfall Forecast: Tropical Cyclone Sagar
Fisherman have been asked to stay out of the Gulf of Aden due to the rough seas and gusty winds.
In a special advisory issued Wednesday andposted by reliefweb.org, the UK Met Office warns that “severe flash flooding and river flooding across the region will lead to a loss of human life, livestock, and the destruction of crops, property and infrastructure.” The Met Office added: “Very heavy rainfall occurring across Western Yemen (linked to, although not directly from the cyclone) is likely to promote cholera infection rates in the weeks ahead.”
In addition to flash flooding, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations says the heavy rains could cause favorable breeding conditions for desert locusts, according to the Associated Press.
"Monitoring tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden is a very important part of this strategy because historically they have been the origin or trigger of Desert Locust plagues," according to Keith Cressman, the Senior Locust Forecasting Officer at the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation.
A Rare Track?
Sagar's center is expected to move ashore in northwest Somalia Saturday afternoon, local time, at tropical storm intensity, potentially weakening a bit as its circulation begins to interact with land and ingest some drier, desert air, according to theJoint Typhoon Warning Center.
A tropical cyclone track this far west in the Gulf of Aden is exceedingly rare.
Since satellite surveillance of tropical cyclones began in 1966, only two other tropical cyclones have moved into the western Gulf of Aden, according toNOAA's historical hurricane tracks database.
Tropical Cyclone 1A traversed almost the entire Gulf of Aden before landfalling in northwest Somalia on May 28, 1984.

Tropical cyclones are most common in the Arabian Sea in spring and autumn, during the transition periods between the strong southwest flow of the summer monsoon and the strong northeast flow that predominates in winter.
On average, the Arabian Peninsula is affected by a tropical cyclone every year or two.
Four Tornadoes Hit Connecticut Tuesday, Including at Least 3 EF-1 Tornadoes: National Weather Service
Published at 4:13 AM EDT on May 17, 2018
Powerful storms caused devastation in Connecticut Tuesday and are blamed for two deaths
Four tornadoes, a macroburst and a microburst all hit Connecticut Tuesday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
On Thursday evening, National Weather Service officials confirmed a destructive microburst with winds at 100 miles per hour struck Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden, then continued east to Wallingford and Northford.
Previously, officials determined an EF-1 tornado hit the Winsted area. Another tornado hit in the Barkhamsted Reservoir area. The EF scale level for the Barkhamsted tornado is not yet confirmed by the weather service.
Meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan confirmed a tornado in the Oxford area Tuesday. National Weather Service officials came out to survey the damage Wednesday and confirmed the storm was an EF-1 tornado with a 4.5-mile path length and wind strengths of 100 mph.
Officials also confirmed a second tornado with a 9.5-mile path length from Beacon Falls to Bethany to Hamden and wind strengths of 110 mph.
During the storm, Oxford police reported trees and power lines down throughout the town trapping people in cars. Roads were impassable and many people were trapped in their homes.
It was a similar scene in Southbury. The town has issued a state of emergency as crews continue working to clear up downed trees and wires. As of 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, 98 percent of town remained without power.
In Hamden, outages were peppered across the town. The worst of the damage was in the northern part of town, and Sleeping Giant State Park remains closed due to all the damage. The mayor has been in touch with Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro to see about getting federal assistance.
Other areas of the state also saw extensive damage from straight-line winds. A macroburst hit Brookfield, leaving heavy damage.
The severe storms proved fatal in Danbury and New Fairfield, where two people were killed in separate incidents when trees came down on vehicles.

A tornado caused a great deal of damage in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia on Wednesday. Around the city of Viersen, just across the border of Venlo, multiple homes lost roofs and numerous trees were blown over, NOS reports.
One person was seriously hurt in Viersen and a firefighter was hit by lighting. As far as is known, no one was killed. The tornado lasted almost 15 minutes.
The emergency services in the Netherlands received no reports about the tornado, a spokesperson for safety office Veiligheidsregio Noord-Limburg said to NOS. The Netherlands sees tornadoes once or twice a year. They are more common in Germany. This was the sixth tornado in Germany this year.

Heavy rains caused many problems in large parts of northern Netherlands on Sunday night. On Twitter local residents complained about flooded streets and buildings, and even water streaming out of the toilet.
Drenthe saw a total of 63 millimeters of rain on Sunday evening, RTL Nieuws reports. Usually the whole Netherlands gets 61 millimeters of rain in the entire month of May.
In Assen the roof of a car dealer collapsed due to the large amounts of rain water. On Twitter there are reports of flooded streets in Assen, Eext, Borger, Gasselte, Emmen, Erica, Gieten and Sappemeer, among others. In some places rain water could not drain quickly enough, resulting in water coming up from the sewers.

Freezing fog descends on packed British beach on one of hottest days of year sending sun-seekers running for cover
Freakish weather conditions today stunned visitors to Woolacombe Beach in Devon, who hoped to bask in scorching temperatures to kick off the bank holiday weekend
Freezing mist has descended on a packed British beach and cleared sunbathers on one of the hottest days of the year.
Freakish weather conditions today stunned visitors to Woolacombe Beach in Devon, who hoped to bask in scorching temperatures to kick off the bank holiday weekend.
It was claimed surfers, holidaymakers and sunseekers cleared the beach "in minutes" as temperatures suddenly dipped when cold fog-like conditions rolled over.
The virtually deserted sands were in stark contrast to other beaches and parks today which filled up with sun worshippers to make the most of the spring heatwave.
Temperatures across the country have soared to around 25C - making the UK warmer than popular sunny climes including Barcelona and Ibiza.

Massive storm lasted only 15 minutes but kills 45 people with many more injured livestock and crops in Uttar Pradesh India
Thestatesman.com More than 45 people were killed, 36 in Agra Zone alone, and dozens injured in a massive thunder and hailstorm that hit Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday-Thursday night. The toll may cross over to 50. Nature's fury took maximum lives in the Agra zone when winds at the speed of 132 km/hour lashed the entire region leaving 36 dead and many injured. About 18 people were killed in Khairabad, 9 in Fatehabad, 4 in Bah, 2 each in Etmadpur and Kirwali area in Agra. Storm-related deaths were reported from Saharanpur, Moradabad, Sambhal, Muzaffarnagar etc where people died in House/tree collapse. The weather suddenly took a devastating turn at 2.30 am on Thursday morning when people were fast asleep. Majority of the people died in house/wall/tree collapse. At many places, the thunderstorm was followed by hailstorm severely damaging standing wheat crop and killing cattle. The massive storm lasted only for 15 minutes. The devastation in terms of loss of human life, damage to crop and livestock would have been much higher had the storm lasted for more time. "The rescue and relief operations are in full swing. We are assessing losses. The toll may cross over 50 as teams are yet to reach interior areas," Sanjay Kumar, Relief Commissioner, told the media. The local police have also been involved in the relief and rescue operations. Before leaving for Karnataka, the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath condoled those died in the thunderstorm and directed the disaster management officials to provide immediate relief and compensation to the families in the affected areas. "The government will not tolerate any laxity in relief and rescue work," warned the CM. The high-velocity winds affected the rail and road traffic. The power supply in many of the areas remained disrupted affecting mobile and net services. Dozens of trains across the state came to a sudden halt when the power line went off and many trees fell on the track. In Chitrakoot, a tree fell on the running train damaging engine. However, no casualty was reported.
At least 27 people were killed and nearly 100 injured as a high-intensity squall

MOGADISHU, May 2 (Xinhua) -- Somalia President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed has appealed to the international community to support efforts to help 500,000 people affected by the floods that has displaced close to 175,000 from their homes.
Mohamed who visited Somalia's central region of HirShabelle to assess the impact of flooding on Monday said his government was taking action to address the humanitarian crisis caused by the floods.
"We have formed a national disaster committee to respond to the needs of our fellow citizens who have been affected," he said in a statement issued on Tuesday evening.
Mohamed who led a high-level delegation, which included representatives from the UN and the AU Mission in Somalia to the city of BeletWeyne, said his government stands by residents affected by the floods morally and materially to deliver all the help that it can.
The humanitarian crisis was caused by the Shabelle River, which begins in the Ethiopian highlands and flows through BeletWeyne and the HirShabelle state capital of Jowhar, burst its banks following the onset of heavy rains which began last month.
According to the government, other states affected by the heavy rains include Jubbaland and South West state.
The heavy rains and flash floods come only months after a devastating drought left over 6 million people in need of humanitarian assistance last year.
Yngvil Foss, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) deputy country director for Somalia rainfall in recent weeks, has been heavier than anticipated.
"Initially, all humanitarian actors started responding with the means and assets they had available. In the past week we have been able to raise additional money to target assistance for food, water, sanitation and non-food items to be able to respond," Foss said.
The UN has warned that the heavy rains were worsening conditions in overcrowded Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) settlements and displacing more people along riverine areas due to flooding. The settlements have limited access to hygiene facilities, thus heightening the risk of communicable diseases.
According to the OCHA report, some 246,000 people are at risk of flash floods in Baidoa, Southwest region, while in Jubbaland approximately 28,200 people have been displaced by floods, which swept away home, shelters, farms and livestock.
In Belet Weyne, more than 200,000 people are at risk of being affected by floods after River Shabelle burst its banks, forcing many to flee the town to higher grounds.
Meanwhile, a team comprising AU troops and Somali national security forces has evacuated more than 10,000 people marooned by the raging floods in Belet Weyne, HirShabelle state.
"We are taking part in the evacuation of Somali people so as to rescue them from flooded areas and take them to a place near Eel Jaale far from floods," said Col Abdourahman Rayale Hareed, the Commander of Djibouti's Hiil 5 Battalion who led the rescue mission.
