Wild Weather, the Wobble Effect

"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."

UK weather: Britain sees thick fog and hottest ever recorded November temperatures on the same day

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/uk-weather-britain-s...

On the same day that thick fog enveloped the country and grounded hundreds of flights and Heathrow, the UK experienced the hottest November day on record - with some parts of the UK experiencing higher temperatures than southern Portugal.

According to the Met Office, temperatures on Sunday 1 November in Trawsgoed, Wales, were the hottest ever recorded in the UK in November - the temperature peaked at 22.3C, hotter than Barcelona and the Algarve.

The previous November temperature record was set in 1946, when it got up to 21.7C in Prestatyn, Wales.
To put that in perspective, the average maximum temperature in the UK is 10 to 13C.

According to the Met Office, Sunday's new record could be broken again on Monday - meterorologist Nicola Willis said there was a 20 per cent chance that the record could be broken again at some point on 2 November, as southerly winds bring in warm air from Europe.
Despite the record-breaking temperatures, Sunday started off foggy for most the country, and stayed that way in some parts throughout the day.

British Airways cancelled at least 20 flights from Heathrow and more than a dozen arrivals at London City Airport due to fog on Sunday.

With more fog disruption expected on Monday, the UK could be in for a continued spell of bizarre weather.

Rare Cyclone in the Arabian Sea (Oct 31)

Cyclone Chapala became the strongest tropical system on record so far south in the Arabian Sea and may make an extremely rare landfall at hurricane strength along the coast of Yemen Monday or Tuesday.

Chapala remained a Category 4 cyclone Saturday evening after rapidly intensifying to a high-end Category 4 early Friday.

There is no record of a cyclone of Category 4 strength or stronger tracking as far south as Chapala in the Arabian Sea.

Satellite imagery Saturday showed an impressive eyewall with a tiny eye only about nine miles wide, roughly the size of Hurricane Patricia, which became the most intense hurricane of record in the western hemisphere roughly a week ago.

While direct measurements from reconnaissance aircraft are not available over the Arabian Sea, Chapala's rate of intensification from a high-end tropical storm to a high-end Category 4 cyclone in 24 hours was quite impressive for this part of the world.

Chapala has the potential to dump at least 3-4 times the average yearly rain in just a day or two over parts of eastern Yemen and southwest Oman. Average yearly rainfall along the southern Yemeni coast is 2 inches...

The south coasts of Yemen and southwest Oman are fronted by hills and mountains. Moist air from Chapala slamming into those mountains may wring out rainfall totals in excess of 20 inches in those locations.

Rivers running from these mountains that are normally dry or feature very low flow would see rapid rises with rainfall of this magnitude. Destructive and deadly mudslides, debris flows, and flash flooding is likely immediately before, and sometime after landfall of Chapala in central and eastern Yemen. 

In short, Chapala may be one of Yemen's costliest natural disasters on record.

Somalia – Floods Affect Over 60,000

Parts of northern Somalia and areas along the Juba and Shabelle River basins in Somalia and in the Ethiopian Highlands have experienced heavy rains following the start of the Deyr rains earlier this month. The Deyr is a season of short rains that usually runs from October to December.

Somalia Water and Land Information Management (SWALIM) say that “heavy rains are expected to continue in the Ethiopian highlands, Hiraan, Middle Shabelle, Galgaduud and Mudug regions over the coming days. Other areas that may record moderate rains include parts of Lower Shabelle, Bakool and Bay regions”.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) report that initial assessments suggest around 60,000 people have been affected by flooding across 6 regions of the country; Banadir region (5,000), Bay region (12,000), Lower Juba region (6,000), Middle Shabelle region (28,000), Gedo region (1,800) and Mudug region (10,000).

El Niño Expected to Increase Flood Risk

OCHA say that, while flooding is recurrent during this time of the year in low-lying areas of Somalia, El Niño conditions have intensified in 2015 and are likely to lead to a wetter than normal Deyr season in parts of the country.

SWALIM suggest that floods triggered by El Niño could affect up to 900,000 people along Somalia’s rivers.

Brazil Floods – Over 200,000 Affected in Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul

The flood situation in southern Brazil continues and is now affecting over 200,000 people across the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.

Rio Grande do Sul

The Civil Defense of Rio Grande do Sul reported that 132 towns and cities have been affected by flooding and rainstorms since the beginning of the month. About 177,000 people have been affected in total across the state, where over 7,500 families are currently displaced or homeless.

One of the worst hit areas in the state is Porto Alegre, where the mayor declared a state of emergency on Sunday 18 October, following the heavy rain and flooding on Wednesday 14 October.

The rain forced the Guaíba River to break its banks, causing its second worst-ever overflow, according to Agência Brasil. Some of the worst hit parts of the city are the poorer areas, such as bairro Guarujá, where the mayor, José Fortunati, visited last week.

Santa Catarina

In Santa Catarina, nearly 30,000 people are affected by the floods across 97 towns or cities since the beginning of October, according to the local Civil Defense report. 1,790 people were displaced and 2,933 are homeless. Seventeen municipalities have declared state of emergency, which is the condition imposed to receive federal aid.

Visit of President Dilma Rousseff

On 24 October President Dilma Rousseff flew over the affected areas in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina to observe the extent of the damage.

The president announced that officials from the federal government will visit Rio Grande do Sul to help municipalities that need to submit documents to receive federal funds.

“In addition to the 66 municipalities we had already declared a state of emergency, we will come with a team formed by state government officials and mayors to take the necessary measures so that they [municipalities] meet the requirements to be declared state of emergency.” stated Rousseff.

A "crime against humanity": NASA warns of worst ever forest fires, environmental disaster, as smoke blankets six countries! 'Godzilla' El Nino responsible...

It's the biggest environmental disaster in our region and Australia cannot avoid being affected by its enormous reach.
A sickening haze that has spread across southeast Asia is being described as a "crime against humanity" and has NASA warning of a disaster of its kind never before seen.
For more than two months, raging forest fires on the Indonesian island of Sumatra have released vast plumes of smoke that has spread across neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore, southern Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines.
The toxic yellow cloud is disrupting transport, schools and business and caused hundreds of thousands of people to fall ill.
At least 230 principal fires and hundreds of hot spots being battled by a 22,000-strong army of fire fighters, including Australian specialists.
But the blazes, some fuelled by ancient peat deposits, are defying them all and the most realistic hope is that monsoonal rains will douse them.

But that won't happen until next month at the earliest.
Australian Gaye Thavisin, who has lived in Kaimantan for 13 years, said putting out a blaze in Indonesia was not like battling an Aussie bushfire.
"These fires burn long, low and underground and need to be utterly soaked and flooded to be put out," she told news.com.au.
While many locals hope monsoon rains will eventually drown them, Ms Thavisin said there was also a chance the weather could also remain dry until February.
"It's unbelievably bad ... we've been without sunshine now for two and a half months," she said. During this time Ms Thavisin has been unable to operate her small cruise business because it was only possible to see for about 50 to 200m.
"We're looking at bankruptcy now because we continue to pay our staff," she said.
"Others have just sacked people."
Fires in Indonesia have been a near annual occurrence since the 1980s, but this is different.
They have been made worse by a prolonged dry season and a 'Godzilla' El Nino weather pattern whose devastating effects are only now starting to be seen.
The massive weather event is expected to have terrible consequences for Australia this summer, including predictions of a devastating fire season here, too.
El Niños typically reduce rainfall, cause droughts and increase temperatures.

The Amazon drained forest: Incredible pictures show devastating effect of drought ravishing Brazil in area’s worst dry spell for 100 years 

•  Brazil's Amazonian rainforest has suffered its worst drought in 100 years, leaving many key lakes dried out
•  Whole communities in the Amazonian regions of the country have been left struggling without water
•  Boats have been left stranded in the Puaquequarauna lake, due the low levels of the Rio Negro

The Amazon river has long been crucial part of the daily lives of thousands of Brazilians living in the remote stretches of the rainforest but now communities have been left devastated after the country suffered its worst drought in 100 years.

A vital water source for numerous lakes and streams, the Amazonian drought has been revealed with photos showing miles of dry, cracked riverbeds from where the water used to flow.

Boats have been left stranded in the Puaquequarauna lake, due the low levels of the Rio Negro, near the Amazonian city of Manaus. There, houses sit isolated in the middle of the large deserted landscape, with only small pools of water remaining for locals to live off. 

The crisis has left the Rio Negro, a crucial tributary of the Amazon River, in ruin. Now, whole communities face a battle to rebuild their lives. 

The shocking drought comes just a few months after the same region suffered bad flooding after a deluge of rain left several cities in states of emergency. 

Not going far: Several young men try to steer their canoe down a small strip of water in the middle of the barren landscape

Two conductors escape from derailed train after it submerges in Texas floods... and state's residents brace for MORE RAIN from remnants of Hurricane Patricia

• Union Pacific train carrying gravel derailed in floods south of Dallas
• Two crew members aboard were able to escape and swim to safety  
• Train was near Corsicana, which has received more than 18 inches of rain
• Deluge comes as remnants of Hurricane Patricia mix with another storm
• Large swaths of Texas under watches and advisories for floods 

A train was submerged under floodwaters in Texas as the state was battered by rain ahead of the first effects of Hurricane Patricia.

No injuries were reported in the derailment, where two conductors were able to escape from their downed train before being picked up by emergency workers in Navarro County, south of Dallas.

Some areas of the state have already seen more than 20 inches of rain as precipitation from one storm system, with much of central and southern Texas under flash flood watch until Monday.

Rain has been worst so far in Navarro County, where a Union Pacific train locomotive and several of its cars derailed around 3.30am after water from a nearby washed over the tracks.

A freight train derailed on Saturday near Corsicana, Texas, about 50 miles south of Dallas, after a creek overflowed and washed away the tracks

The Union Pacific train locomotive and several of its cars derailed around 3.30am on Saturday as floods took over many areas of Texas

Two train conductors were able to swim to safety after they derailed because water had washed over the tracks during widespread flooding in Texas

The train, carrying gravel, derailed when traveling near the town of Corsicana, Texas, which has received more than 18 inches of rain

Torrential rains are battering Texas as a recent storm system mixes with remnants of Hurricane Patricia that are moving up from Mexico

'They (crew) escaped the train after it stopped and swam to high ground,' railroad spokesman JeffDeGraff said. 

'A Navarro County rescue team was able to get in and pull them to safety, they are back safe on dry ground'.

The cars were carrying gravel, which is not believed to pose any threat, though officials are monitoring concerns about leaked fuel.

The recent flooding comes as remnants of Hurricane Patricia work their way east and north towards Texas to join a storm already in the region as it moves east toward Louisiana.

Patricia has since been downgraded to a tropical storm and tropical depression after making landfall on the western coast of Mexico, but the storm is causing torrential rains and flooding in Mexico as it moves north.
