"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."

Upstate New York mountain reaches minus 114 wind chill at its summit  

While New York City had its coldest start to Valentine’s Day in 100 years on Sunday, it would seem balmy compared with the wicked wind chill at upstate Whiteface Mountain.

As temperatures dropped across the Northeast from the blast of a polar vortex, the wind chill at Whiteface, near Lake Placid, made it feel like a body- and mind-numbing minus 114 degrees late Saturday and into Sunday. Central Park could only muster a minus 1 degree.

The Wild Center, which works with the Atmospheric Science Research Center at SUNY Albany, recorded the frigid temperature from a research station at the mountain’s summit.

THE WILD CENTER

Winds at Whiteface Mountain's summit blasted at 45 mph on Saturday night going into Sunday morning.

“The extreme temperatures (Saturday) night on Whiteface have to do with its elevation, 4,865 feet and the wind speed,” Tracey Legat, the center’s communications manager at the center told the Daily News. “The mountains of the Adirondacks are often some of the coldest places in the lower 48 states during the year.”

THE WILD CENTER

On Sunday morning, the wind chill on Whiteface Mountain's summit was colder than the windchill in Antarctica.

The Arctic winds howled through the summit at about 45 mph, freezing almost everything in their path.

The center managed to capture a photo of a tree being turned into a popsicle as the winds formed “monstrous rime ice” around it.

The mountain’s summit was actually colder than Antarctica on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

Cold records tumble on both sides of the Atlantic this weekend as the polar vortex blasts the Northeast of the US with coldest air in a decade

Records tumbled along the Northeast coast of the US at the weekend with New York with temperatures as low as -1 F (-18 C) on Sunday recording the lowest Valentine day temperature ever.
From New York and Boston to Providence, Rhode Island, and Hartford, Connecticut, temperatures on Sunday morning dipped to as low as minus 40 -(minus 40 C) on Mount Washington in New Hampshire.
Boston reached minus 9 (minus 23C), breaking the record set in 1934 by 6 degrees.
It reached minus 16 (-27C) in Worcester, Massachusetts, breaking the 1979 record of 11 below zero. Providence hit minus 9 and Hartford minus 12, also breaking records from 1979.
In Montpelier, Vermont, the overnight temperature hit minus 19, tying a record set in 2003. And South Lincoln, Vermont, recorded 27 (-33 C) below zero reports AP

Flood alerts are issued for huge stretch of London and Thames Barrier is closed for first time this winter after river burst its banks due to massive tides and heavy rain 

• Flood alerts have been issued for a huge section of the River Thames from Greenwich to Putney, west London
• Thames Barrier was closed for the first time this winter amid fears 'astronomically' high tides could cause flooding
• The river has burst its banks in areas such as Greenwich and Greenhithe, Kent, with a playground seen underwater

Flood alerts have been issued for a huge stretch of London and the Thames Barrier has been shut for the first time this winter after the river burst its banks due to 'astronomical' tides and heavy rain.

The River Thames burst its banks and overflowed onto flood plains in Greenwich, south east London, today while dramatic photographs show river levels extremely high in areas such as Embankment.

Water levels were almost as high as the pavement in areas across central London, including in the Charing Cross area, with flood alerts in place from Greenwich all the way to Putney, west London.

The River Thames burst its banks and overflowed onto flood plains in Greenwich, south east London, today while dramatic photographs show river levels extremely high in areas such as Embankment (pictured) due to 'astronomically' high spring tides and recent heavy rain

Water levels were almost as high as the pavement in areas across central London today, including in the Charing Cross area, with flood alerts in place from Greenwich all the way to Putney, west London this evening amid fears the river could continue to rise at high tide

The Thames Barrier, which spans 520 metres across the river near Woolwich, was shut yesterday 'to protect London from the threat of flooding due to the high level of rain combined with high tides from the sea'.

The action was taken after Storm Imogen lashed the country with heavy downpours earlier this week.

The barrier, which is operated by the Environment Agency, has 10 steel gates that can be raised into position across the River Thames. When raised, the main gates stand as high as a five-storey building and as wide as the opening of Tower Bridge. Each main gate weighs 3,300 tonnes.

The barrier is meant to be closed under storm surge conditions to protect London from flooding from the sea, but yesterday was the first time it has been closed this winter and the 176th time in its 34-year history.

Steve East, engineering manager at the Thames Barrier, said: 'We are closing the barrier to protect London from the threat of flooding due to the high level of rain last week combined with high tides from the sea.'

The barrier has since reopened although river levels within central London remain very high.

Record-breaking heatwave sends temperatures into the 90s in Los Angeles... while arctic blast is set to thwart North East with subzero wind chills this Valentine's Day

• Warm blast on West Coast has smashed temperatures two days in a row
• It is expected to continue all week with wildfire warnings across california
• Meanwhile Midwest and North East will see worst chills of all winter
• Subzero winds will blast New England, NYC and Philadelphia on Sunday
• But weather experts say the rest of the winter will be warm as of Monday

A midwinter heat wave is smashing records in california- while the North East prepares for the worst wind chills of the winter this week.

Temperatures on the southern West Coast rocketed into the 90s for the second consecutive day on Tuesday even as the warming Santa Ana winds that came in on Saturday began to fade.

Forecasters said strong high pressure will continue through the week, keeping afternoon temperatures well above normal until at least Valentine's Day on Sunday.

On the other side of the country, the romantic occasion will be a freezing one as snow persists and temperatures plummet to their worst of the winter.

New York is set to see wind chills of -15 degrees on Sunday morning.  

On a positive note for heat-seekers in the Midwest and North East, the worst of the winter cold is expected to subside as of Monday, according to the weather channel.

The site explains that the West Coast is currently enjoying a warm blast blowing up from the southern hemisphere, and the East Coast is getting hit by a cold blast coming down from Canada.

But by Monday afternoon, both jet streams will break down, the Weather Channel says. 

As a result, winds around the North Pole will get stronger, containing the Arctic air - leading to a thaw on the East Coast for the rest of February. 

Unseasonable warmth began building over the weekend as high pressure set into the Great Basin, sending air flowing toward Southern California. 

The gusty, dry Santa Ana winds form as air descends through mountain passes and canyons, warming through compression and pushing out to sea.

Red flag warnings for wildfire danger that were posted on Monday were not reissued Tuesday as the winds subsided.

Mountains and some inland valleys were expected to see a bit of relief on Wednesday, but not coastal areas.

Cloudiness will lower Saturday temperatures five to 10 degrees, but the high pressure ridge will quickly reform and make next week almost as warm, forecasters said.

While Northern California has received a steady series of winter storms that have built a substantial snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, Southern California has yet to see the kind of extended rains sometimes produced by the El Nino warming phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean. 

Downtown Los Angeles has recorded only about half the 8.28 inches of rain normally received seasonally to date.

Across the country, snow dusted the Midwest and North East on Wednesday. 

The arctic blast will set in on Friday when temperatures in the Midwest will plunge below zero and stay there until President's Day, according to forecasts. 

On Saturday morning, the subzero chills will spread to Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, eastern Nebraska, and eastern Kansas. 

By Sunday morning, subzero temperatures could hit southern New England, the suburbs of New York City and Philadelphia.

Wettest November, December and January on record in Isle of Man

The Isle of Man has experienced only one dry day since November 2.  That was on December 11.

The unsettled spell which started in late October continued throughout January, meteorologists based at Ronaldsway say.  Rainfall totalled 154.1mm last month, almost double the average ranking it the third wettest January on record, behind 2014 (170.8mm) and 1948 (237.1mm).

The wettest day at the airport was the 9th with 15.9mm but there were very large totals over the hills on a few days. Over the 21st and 22nd 110mm was measured on the Mountain Road, causing further flooding in Laxey.

Unsurprisingly there were only 36.2 hours of sunshine during the month, 33 per cent down, making it the dullest January since 2008. The brightest day was the 14th with 5.5 hours of sun.

Overall it was another mild month with the mean temperature measuring 7.3°C, compared to the long term mean of 6.1°C.  The highest temperature of 12.3°C was recorded on the 25th. There were a few cold days during the month though with a ground temperature of minus 5°C on the 16th.

The mean wind speed for the month measured 18.6mph compared to the January mean of 18.1mph. The storm on the 26th with a gust of 65mph at Ronaldsway coincided with a large tide causing significant debris to be washed on to the usual coasts and promenades.

There were five days with hail, four with sleet or snow showers, one day with fog but no thunderstorms during the month.  The combined rainfall total for the past three months was 509.2mm, making it by far the wettest November, December and January on record.  The previous highest was in 2002/03 with 424.4mm.  There were only 103 hours of sunshine, the dullest on record beating 1969 with 111.8 hours.

The mean temperature was another record breaker measuring 8.87°C, the mildest, beating 2007 with 8.70°C.

Black Monday: A SWELL XXL IN APPROACH- French coast.

February 5, 2016,

http://www.2012un-nouveau-paradigme.com/2016/02/black-monday-un-swe...

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

There is already talk of a "Black Monday"! The strong storm (943 hPa) currently hollow in the North Atlantic will send the wrong time and gigantic waves on the French coast.

With an estimated 15 meters to swell, winds of 120 to 140 km / h gusts, large tidal coefficients (100/103 90/95 Monday and Tuesday) and a consequent period (18 seconds), the entire Atlantic coast is about to go on alert on Sunday submersion. The peak of the swell will be reached Monday. With a violent west wind, most large spots will be on shore and the "shippers" will probably fall back elsewhere.

More than 10 meters in Brittany

We recommend to all surfers as spectators, the greatest caution with the arrival of this phenomenon. Avoid walking by the sea!

Cold weather brings rare snowfalls to tropical Laos

Snow has been reported across forested upland areas in northern Laos as the extreme cold snap and associated precipitation persisting across much of Indochinese Peninsula since Sunday begins to ease, China's Xinhua news agency reported.

Temperatures in the low single digits Celsius during the day and around zero degrees or below at night since Sunday were accompanied by snow across elevated areas of the country's northern provinces.

The cold snap led to a temporary three-day suspension of domestic flights by the national carrier Lao Airlines between the capital Vientiane and the airport servicing the province of Oudoumxay while flights to other affected provincial centres faced delays, state-run media Vientiane Times reported.

In the province of Phongsaly, three-day extended leave was provided to public servants except police and defence personnel until Wednesday to help minimise the risks to life from unnecessary travel.

Public schools across the country already closed for a week long break awaiting a decision on whether to reopen on schedule Monday depending on the weather.

The scope of the socio-economic impact of the cold snap upon the least developed country of some six and a half million remains as yet unknown, with livestock and poultry deaths in the affected areas continuing to be reported to the authorities.

Meanwhile, images of the rare sprinkling of white have been shared by locals and visitors alike on social media.

Snow was also recorded at popular tourist destination Nam Et-Phou Louey National Park, a 4,229sqkm nature reserve incorporating parts of the provinces of Luang Prabang, Huaphan and Xiengkhouan boasting a peak elevation of 2,257m above sea level.

Images of white-dusted tropical foliage were shared on the website of the park and its award-winning Night Safari, an ethical tourism venture that provides visitors with views of the area's rare and endangered fauna while sustaining local employment. – Bernama, January 28, 2016.

California is battered by winds as high as 115mph: At least one person is killed and thousands are left without electricity as powerful storm prompts warnings of flash floods and mudslides 

• One person was killed after a tree fell on three parked cars and a fourth car that was passing by during the storm 
• Power outages affecting about 140,000 utility customers were reported across the Los Angeles and San Diego area 
• Gusts along Interstate 5 knocked down trees and power lines, and a flash flood watch was issued 
• Some areas may experience mudslides and strong winds may cause flight delays at Los Angeles International Airport, officials warned
• Heavy rain brought traffic to a near-standstill on LA freeways and forecasters said tornadoes were possible 

A motorist was fatally struck by a tree that was knocked by powerful winds as a winter storm hits California, bringing downpours, wind and snow, authorities said Sunday.

The driver was passing by a residential street in Pacific Beach when a large oak tree fell across a roadway, blocking all four traffic lanes, San Diego Fire and Rescue Capt. Joe Amador said.

The tree, which measured eight feet in diameter, also crushed three parked cars that were not occupied, he said.

"To the people out here dealing with the rain: be careful, drive slowly and arrive alive," Amador said.

Strong winds downed dozens of trees and power poles and ripped off rooftops - and in one case, solar panels - across Southern California.

Power outages affecting about 140,000 utility customers were reported across the Los Angeles and San Diego area. 

Wind gusts topped 50 mph in the San Diego area and 65 mph in Malibu, according to the National Weather Service. The highest reading of the day was at Whitaker Peak, north of Castaic, where a gust was recorded at 115 mph.

The storm also dropped up to an inch of rain in some places by 4 p.m. Sunday, and forecasters said up to 2 inches of rain was expected in the valleys of Los Angeles County and as many as 3 inches possible for southwest-facing foothills and mountains.

A flash flood watch was issued for foothill neighborhoods underneath wildfire burn areas, triggering fears of possible mudslides and debris flows. 

Blinding rain briefly brought traffic to a near-standstill on LA freeways. North of the city, a crash during a heavy downpour involving two trucks closed southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near the Grapevine. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

The storm also churned up high surf along west and northwest-facing beaches. The rough seas prompted authorities to close the piers at Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach.

To the north, Interstate 80 near Truckee was closed for more than two hours after 29 vehicles got into a pileup amid snowy conditions, KCRA-TV reported.

Another rain storm was expected in the San Francisco Bay Area by Sunday evening. A wind advisory was issued warning of winds gusting up to 50 mph. 

Strong winds are expected to cause flight problems at Los Angeles International Airport, and forecasters said waterspouts and weak tornadoes are possible.

'The winds may well turn out to be the defining feature of this system,' the National Weather Service said Sunday.  

Firefighters rescued a man trapped by the fast-rising Los Angeles River as the system moved in and dumped up to 0.75 inches of rain by mid-morning. 

The man was uninjured after being pulled to safety along the riverbank area east of downtown known for homeless encampments. 

Up to two inches of rain was expected in the valleys of Los Angeles County and as many as three inches possible for southwest-facing foothills and mountains, according to the National Weather Service. 

Another rain storm is expected in the San Francisco Bay Area by Sunday evening. 

Storms usually develop far from California, but this one developed unusually close, just 500 miles west of Santa Barbara, according to Daniel Swain, a Stanford University climate scientist. 

The relatively swift development of the system 'is somewhat unusual, though it tends to be more common during strong El Niño years when a strong jet stream resides over or just south of Southern California,' Swain wrote in a blog post.

Polar air mass over much of Mexico

Galeana, Nuevo León, where roofs have been collapsing under the snow.

State of emergency declared in 446 municipalities

Residents in many parts of Mexico might decide to remain in their homes for this long weekend as heavy rains, strong winds, some snow and cold temperatures are forecast for many regions.

In fact, the national Civil Protection office has declared an “extraordinary emergency” in 446 municipalities in 23 states, brought on by cold front No. 34 and the eighth winter storm of the season.

The declaration will make resources available for the emergency supply of food and blankets to an estimated half a million people from Chihuahua in the north to Chiapas in the south.

The cold front´s mass of polar air is covering much of the country, guaranteeing cold to very cold weather for the weekend. Sleet or wet snow are forecast for areas 3,500 meters above sea level in the State of México, Tlaxcala, Puebla, Hidalgo and Veracruz and winds gusting to 70 km/h in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

Mountain regions of Chihuahua, Durango, Zacatecas and Nuevo León can expect temperatures to plunge lower than -5 C.

The weather in both Mexico and California has been having adverse effects on fresh produce supplies in the U.S. and Canada. The second-largest food retailer in Canada said last week there would be shortages for three weeks due in part to weather conditions.

Sobey´s said it is struggling to deal with the worst situation in 30 years.

One of the coldest places in Mexico this week was La Rosilla, a community in the Durango municipality of Guaneceví. The temperature dropped two days ago to -17 C.

In Nuevo León, meanwhile, the roofs of many homes in the community of Galeana, located in the south of the state, collapsed under the weight of the heaviest snowfall in 20 years.

Deadly cold snap - Nearly 8000 animals die in Vietnam
 
Normally the temperatures are in Vietnam this time of year about 15-25 degrees. A cold wave makes in recent days a temperature shock. Thousands of animals die.

At a cold snap in Vietnam nearly 8,000 animals froze to death. The temperatures dropped in the six northern provinces partly below freezing and thus as deeply as in 39 years no longer, reported the National Meteorological Service. The Vietnamese Argarbehörde reported, at least 7,800 cattle, goats, pigs and horses were found dead in the pastures. 11,000 hectares of rice and vegetable fields were damaged. Normally, temperatures in northern Vietnam not sink below ten degrees at this time.

The cold wave moved from China starting all over North and South East Asia. In Thailand earlier this week at least 14 people died. She suffered fatal respiratory disease at temperatures of less than five degrees. In the subtropical southern Japan the islanders Amami experienced on Sunday the first snowfall since 115 years.
