"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."

ZETATALK

 

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.

Thousands forced to evacuate as wildfires close in on city in Canada (PHOTOS)

An entire city and surrounding areas in British Columbia were forced to evacuate as raging wildfires intensified by strong winds spread across the region.

An evacuation alert was issued for Williams Lake and surrounding areas in Cariboo Regional District on Saturday. 

“All individuals in the City [Williams Lake] and the above areas must evacuate immediately,” the order stated. 

Around 12,000 people live in the city, and the same number of people in the surrounding areas were also ordered to evacuate, CBC Canada reported

“We’re a little anxious at the moment. I’ll tell you that,” Sue LaChance, an evacuee, told CBC, “It’s quite surreal actually. I’m almost 50 years old, and this is definitely a first.”

“Winds picked up and huge fires all around us,” Jacinda Mack, a community member who stayed in the city to assist firefighters, told the Vancouver Sun. “Everybody moving north – huge, huge smoke.” 

A nearby fire disrupted Highway 97, north of the city, Mayor Walt Cobb said.

“We made the decision to get everybody while we could, because depending on how the fire went, we might have lost all our access out of town,” he said, adding that mass evacuations blocked roads and “the traffic is very, very thick.”

View image on TwitterLocal residents were asked to evacuate to the city of Kamloops, 200km from Williams Lake. The authorities created a Facebook page connecting evacuees with Kamloops locals willing to assist. 

According to Cariboo Regional District Chairman Al Richmond, nature is “bringing forward our worst-case scenario.”

Europe smashing all time heat records: Parts of Spain to hit 47 deg C 117 deg F today with parts of Italy and Greece hitting mid 40's

Photo fotografia.folha.uol.com.br
Continued deadly heatwave in Spain is smashing all July heat records as Cordoba registered a high of 47 deg C 117 deg F.
The heat has destroyed crops in southern Spain where crops where destroyed by record cold in the winter causing shortages in European supermarkets.
Spain baked in a record-breaking heatwave on Thursday which was blamed for the death of a road crew worker and is suspected of leaving another man in critical condition.
The 54-year-old male victim died of suspected heatstroke late Wednesday while laying asphalt near the town of Moron de la Frontera in the southwestern province of Seville, emergency services said. Temperatures reached 43 degrees Celsius (109 Fahrenheit) in Moron de la Frontera on Wednesday. Spain's largest union said it was investigating how long the man had been working and if the crew had taken special precautions because of the heat.
A 50-year-old man is also critical in hospital after suffering heatstroke on Thursday while replacing pipes in Cabeza del Buey, a town in the southwestern province of Badajoz, local media reported. Spain's meteorological agency said seven cities including the capital Madrid set record temperatures for the month of July on Thursday.
It soared to 40.2 degrees Celsius in Madrid, smashing a previous record of 39.6 degrees Celsius recorded in 2015.
New record highs were also set in Badajoz, Caceres, Ciudad Real, Cordoba, Jaen and Teruel.
The heatwave - caused by a mass of hot air from North Africa will last until at least Sunday, officials say.
Meanwhile in Italy wild fires have broken out around the volcano Mount Vesuvius as temperatures hit the mid 40's C and in Greece The Hellenic National Meteorological Service warns that temperatures are expected to escalate as high as 45C over the next few days as Greece witnesses the summer's continued heatwave.

PARIS: EXCEPTIONAL STORM AND FLOODS ON SUNDAY EVENING - FRANCE

Monday 10 July 2017

http://actualite.lachainemeteo.com/actualite-meteo/2017-07-10-08h17...

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=y&...

A storm of rare violence struck Paris on Sunday night. It has caused many floods.

Since Wednesday, temperatures are very high in Paris with peaks above 30 ° C. With the passage of a cold drop of altitude above France, the mass of air was strongly destabilized last night. As a result, severe thunderstorms struck Paris and caused flooding.

1 month of rain in 1 hour

At the Paris-Montsouris reference station, 49.2 mm of rain fell in 1 hour, which corresponds to the rain that normally falls in July. This value constitutes the absolute record all months combined of the cumulative hourly in Paris, which dated to July 2, 1995 with 47 mm.

Many floods

These heavy rains were accompanied by a very important electrical activity. They caused a lot of flooding in the metro stations. CONTINUE...

Lagos floods: Heavy rain, storms cause chaos - Nigeria WEST AFRICA

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/09/africa/lagos-flood-storms/index.html

Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)Lagos, one of Africa's most populous cities, has been hit by torrential downpour and thunderstorms over the weekend that has left many parts of the city flooded.

Residents in the Lekki and Victoria Island suburbs woke up on Saturday morning to flooding in their homes and their cars submerged under water.

One brave resident took to swimming in the infested waters on Lekki road, an affluent suburb that is home to some of the most expensive real estate in the coastal city.

Another was spotted kayaking across Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, a usually bustling business district.

Nigeria's largest city and commercial capital has been hit by days of persistent heavy rain and storms at the height of the rainy season.

The state government issued a statement urging residents in affected areas to stay at home and for those living in lowlands to 'move uplands.'
"You are implored as much as possible to stay indoors unless it is essential to your safety and livelihood," said Samuel Adejare, the city's environment commissioner.

Thousands forced to flee as over 150 wildfires rage in B.C.

Initial reaction from British Columbian wildfire evacuees in Kamloops
Thousands have had to leave their homes while hot and dry conditions are expected to feed the flames.

Saturday, July 8, 2017, 8:51 PM - Thousands of people have been forced from their homes in central and coastal regions of British Columbia as over 180 wildfires continue to rage across the province.

Now at 3,200 hectares and growing, the so-called "Gustafsen Fire" was first reported on Thursday and is spreading rapidly, less than 10 kilometres from 100 Mile House.

Emergency management made the decision to expand evacuation orders to an estimated 2,050 properties in 150 Mile House, 108 Mile Ranch, and Lac La Heche on Friday amid fears that the fire will continue to spread aggressively. The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) also issued an alert for about 220 other properties.

View image on Twitter

The B.C. Wildfire Service reported the blaze as 0 per cent contained as of Saturday afternoon, adding that the 3,200 hectare size was an estimate as smoke made ascertaining the exact extent difficult.

The service's Saturday afternoon statement warned the public to be cautious on roads and stay away from the fire area, saying the fire "is expected to grow substantially in the next hours and the amount of growth is dependent on weather and wind conditions."

B.C.'s Chief Fire Information Officer Kevin Skrepnek told Global News the fire is, “burning in some relatively dense timber, so it’s an aggressive fire, it’s burning quite hot and that has challenged our efforts."

View image on TwitterView image on TwitterView image on Twitter

The fire, initially estimated at 500 hectares in size after its discovery on Thursday, blossomed overnight thanks to very dry conditions and increasing winds. A ridge of high pressure is expected to keep the area hot and free from showers through at least Monday, though dry lightning is possible; all things that would work against crews working to contain the blaze.

"The weather is key," Al Richmond, chairman of the CRD told CBC Saturday. "If the weather stays low, that helps. But if things pick up again, that'll be tough."

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. 

Ashcroft Reserve Fire

Further south, the Ashcroft Reserve Fire - which also sparked on Thursday - has spread to an estimated 4,000 hectares as of Saturday afternoon. The entire town of Cache Creek remains under an evacuation order. 

The B.C. Wildfire Service reports that structures have been "impacted" by the fire, but it is not possible to determine how many, due to poor visibility in thick smoke.

View image on TwitterView image on TwitterView image on Twitter

Highways 1 and 97 C between Cache Creek and Ashcroft have been closed due to the blaze.

The fire in the community of 150 Mile House, which is just south of Williams Lake, is an estimated 2,000 hectares. The cause remains under investigation.

About 10 km northeast of Princeton, another wildfire continues to rage, scorching an estimated 1,500 hectares. It's zero per cent contained and is currently classified as "out of control."

A mandatory evacuation order in the area has been expanded to 54 total properties. Smoke has made it difficult to safety fight the fire from the ground, according to B.C. Wildfire Service.

Extreme winds and downpours wreak havoc near Dubai in the United Arab Emirates: Dead camels, new rivers forming

Parts of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) took an extreme bashing after relentless stormy weather caused havoc over the weekend.

Look at some distressing images from the weather anomaly that engulfed the desert near Dubai.

While we may be experiencing low visibility and high humidity here in Dubai, other parts of the UAE have been hit with some severe weather conditions.

The following videos and images were taken on the Al Ain Road over last weekend. The area saw relentless rainfall and heavy winds, it’s hard to believe this is happening in the UAE. This is like the apocalypse:

Look this camel keeper trying to protect his camels in the storms:

In Oman, the downpours were so strong that people assisted to the re-birth of a dried river:

Japan floods: 11 missing, 500,000 to evacuate after days of torrential rain in Fukuoka and Oita

Almost 500,000 people have been ordered or advised to evacuate their homes in south-west Japan after torrential rain triggered widespread flooding.

Key points:

  • At least 11 people missing, including a child
  • 774 millimetres of rain falls in parts of Fukuoka prefecture in nine hours
  • 7,500 rescuers sent to the area

Landslides were reported in several areas, and one man was dug out from the mud without signs of life, public broadcaster NHK said.

At least 11 people were missing or could not be reached, including a child, and many more were stranded and calling for help across areas of Fukuoka and Oita prefectures on the Japanese island of Kyushu.

Children and teachers at a school were among those cut off by the floodwaters.

Japan's weather bureau said the amount of rain in the region had broken all records and was continuing to fall.

Parts of Fukuoka prefecture were hit by 774 millimetres of rain in nine hours on Wednesday, more than two times the amount of rain that falls in a normal July, NHK said.

The massive landslides caused by the flooding left at least two houses swept away.

Some 7,500 rescuers, including police, firefighters and soldiers from Japan's Self Defence Forces, were mobilised to help with evacuations and search for the missing.

Officials said the military presence could be expanded up to 5,000 people and 50 helicopters if needed.

Residents flee to higher ground

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said: "There are many reports of people whose safety cannot be confirmed, things like 'a child was swept away by the river' and 'my house was swept away and I can't get in touch with my parents'."

"We will keep in close contact with the disaster-hit areas and work with all our energy to save lives and ascertain the extent of the damage," he told an early morning emergency early morning news conference.

Fukuoka and Oita prefectures, both largely rural areas, were the worst-hit by the rain, which was caused by a low pressure area on the Pacific Ocean that fed warm, moist air into Japan's seasonal rainy front.

Residents spent a worried night at evacuation centres set up at schools and government buildings on high ground.

"I heard this tremendous rumbling noise and then the house exploded. A tree burst through the wall into the room," a man told NHK.

A schoolboy sitting with his family told NHK: "I haven't heard from some of my friends, and I'm really worried."

There were no immediate reports of major transportation problems, but television footage showed a railway line left broken and twisted and roads swept away by floodwaters.

All operations were stopped at a Daihatsu Motor plant in Oita because road conditions stopped staff and parts getting to the plant.

The same area was pounded by heavy rain earlier this week from Tropical Storm Nanmadol, which has since passed out to sea.

Kenya enjoys rare snowy feel, but meteo agency says it was hail storm

 http://www.africanews.com/2017/07/05/kenya-enjoys-rare-snowy-feel-b...

 Kenyans on Tuesday evening (July 4) took to social media to celebrate a rare case of snow falling in the East African country.

Photos and videos shared on social media showed whitish substance on the streets of the town of Nyahururu located in the country’s Laikipia County.

The Kenyan Meteorological Agency, however, clarified and explained that the incident was a case of rare hail storm and not snow. ‘‘For it to snow temperatures are usually below 0°C,” they explained.

Zambians enjoy snowy feel in May

Zambians in the capital Lusaka and surrounding towns in May had their fair share of the snowy feel as residents woke up one morning to find streets and backyards filled with ice.

In the case of Zambia, local news portals reported that the incident was as a result of a rare hail storm that fell after a heavy rainfall the previous night.

Snow rarely falls in Africa but on mountains in South Africa, the Maghreb and on Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro. However, hailstones do fall sometimes in southern Africa when the temperature hits record lows.

doovi.comdoovi.comAnother glimpse of the future! After deadly heatwave of 44 degrees Celsius 200 liters of rain per square meter floods parts of Bulgaria

Photo doovi.com
Another glimpse of the future, an astonishing amount of rainfall hits Bulgaria after heatwave kills 5 with many more taken to hospital as temperatures hit 44 degrees Celsius (111.2 degrees Fahrenheit). In the Western Bulgarian town of Samokov, the municipality is assessing the damage done by the torrential rainfall experienced Monday.
Mayor Vladimir Georgiev told Bulgarian National Television (BNT), last night, 15 teams had been busy draining people's homes after the rain had turned streets into rivers.
In Samokov itself, but also in villages around the town, a lot of damage had been registered to the infrastructure.
According to Georgiev it is too early to release figures, since the damage needs to be calculated first. Several streets were damaged, while basements, houses and apartments were flooded.
This includes public buildings.
During the heavy rainfall, the authorities on site received 560 calls.
In the region around Samokov, 200 liters of rain per square meter had fallen on July 3, 2017.
By now, the situation in Samokov has normalized.
Mayor Georgiev has promised help to affected inhabitants.
Five people died on Saturday as soaring temperatures hit the Bulgarian capital Sofia where the mercury was expected to reach as high as 44 degrees Celsius (111.2 degrees Fahrenheit), hospital sources said.
By midday (0900 GMT), the city's emergency services had provided assistance to around 200 people who felt unwell, emergency services spokeswoman Katia Sungarska said

Too much rain: China's floods roil hydropower, corn supplies

Rescuers pile up sandbags to block flood waters at a flooded village in Yiyang, Hunan province, China July 4, 2017. 

Severe flooding across southern China has forced the world's largest power plant to slash capacity on Tuesday, delayed grain on barges and damaged farms along the Yangtze River, as the death toll rose to 56 and economic costs hit almost $4 billion.

Heavy rainfall, mudslides and hail caused by the annual rainy season has killed 56 people and 22 people were missing across 11 provinces and regions as of Tuesday morning, according to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

More than 750,000 hectares (1.85 million acres) of crops have been damaged and direct economic losses totaled more than 25.3 billion yuan ($3.72 billion), it said.

The government said it had disbursed 700 million yuan ($103 million) in emergency aid to four flood-hit provinces - Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou.

Rain in the southern provinces is expected to ease in the coming days, but weather forecasters predict downpours will move to the southwestern province of Sichuan.

In what analysts said was a move unprecedented in its scale, the Three Gorges and Gezhouba, two of China's top hydropower plants, closed as much as two-thirds of their capacity to avert flooding further downstream on the Yangtze River.

The move stoked concerns about electricity supplies from China's second-largest power source as a heatwave continued to scorch northern parts of the country, raising the export prices of coal, the fuel the country uses to produce most of its power.

Coal from Australia's Newcastle terminal rose to its highest since April, with mining outages tightening supply amid strong northern hemisphere summer demand.

The annual rainy season, which arrived in the second half of June, has hit southern Hunan province, one of the nation's largest hog and freshwater fish producers, the most.

High water levels on the Yangtze, Asia's largest river, also slowed barges carrying grain from northern ports to the south, spurring a rise in freight rates and physical corn prices in some regions, analysts and corn buyers said.

Zhang Yi, a purchase manager at a feed producer in Hunan, said he had three ships carrying about 5,000 tonnes of corn stuck on waterways near the port of Changsha, the capital of Hunan, since Friday.

CORN PRICES RISE ON BARGE DELAYS

Spot corn prices at major ports along the Yangtze and its tributaries, including Changsha, Nanchang in Jiangxi province, and Wuhan in Hubei province, have risen by 30 yuan to 1,800 yuan a ton since last week, according to data provided by China National Grain and Oils Information Center, a government think tank.

China usually transports corn from northern growing regions to the ports in the south. Then the grain is shipped along the Yangtze and its branches, to central and western provinces including Hunan, Hubei, and Sichuan.

The Yangtze river's large watershed also accounts for 60 percent of the nation's freshwater fish output.

Cao Delian, manager of the Dabeinong Changlin fish farm, estimated that he has lost about one-third of his carp due to the deluge.

"It's the biggest loss we've seen in at least 5 years," he told Reuters.

On Monday, a natural gas pipeline in Guizhou owned by China National Petroleum Corp collapsed due to a mudslide, causing an explosion that killed at least eight people and injured another 35.

In his office in Liuyang, a city near Changsha, Zhang was hoping water levels would continue to subside on Wednesday.

"I have stocks of corn that can last for four to five days. As long as it does not rain tomorrow, Changsha port can resume operation and I will get my corn offloaded," Zhang said.
