"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."

Heaviest rains in 60 years kill 10 in Beijing: media

BEIJING | Sat Jul 21, 2012 10:51pm EDT

(Reuters) - The heaviest rain storm in six decades to hit the Chinese capital killed at least 10 people and caused widespread chaos, flooding streets and stranding 80,000 people at the city's main airport, state media reported on Sunday.

The storm, which started on Saturday afternoon and continued late into the night, flooded major roads and sent torrents of water tumbling down steps into underpasses.

In the Beijing suburb of Tongzhou, two people died in a roof collapse and another person killed was struck by lightning, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

Other deaths were caused by electric shocks from downed power lines and drowning, it added, without giving an exact breakdown.

More than 500 flights were cancelled at Beijing's Capital International Airport, the Beijing News said.

However, the subway system was largely unaffected, aside from being swamped with people desperate to get home and unable to use cars, buses or taxis.

The city received about 170 millimeters (6.7 inches) of rain on average, though a township in Fangshan District to Beijing's west was hit by 460mm (18.1 inches), Xinhua said.

The Beijing city government said on its website (www.beijing.gov.cn) it was working to get the metropolis back on its feet, but reminded people to prepare for further bad weather.

"The weather forecasters say that from late July to early September this city is prone to flooding, and there could be further large-scale storms or extreme weather," it said.

Many residents took to China's popular micro blogging site Sina Weibo to post dramatic pictures of the storm. Some complained the city should have been prepared, especially as the government had issued a severe storm warning the day before.

"It was forecast early on that Beijing would get torrential rain, so why were pumps and other facilities not prepared in time?" complained one user.

But at least one good result came from the storm.

The official pollution index, which had showed an unhealthy rating before the storm hit, registered "excellent" on Sunday, with the air noticeably free of its normal acrid smell.

We have stressed, at the very start of the ZetaTalk saga, that the weather would get increasingly extreme, with droughts and deluges occurring and switching about in an unpredictable manner, and that this included unpredictable changes in the jet stream. The jet stream is affected primarily by the rotation of the Earth, the slow roll, which pulls the Earth under her blanket of air and creates swirling in the temperate regions, the prevailing Westerlies, as cold air from the poles rushes to drop into voids created by this motion. The jet stream is affected secondarily by warm and cold spots, warm over land masses that are more quickly heated or cooled than the ocean, which can circulate and maintain a more even distribution within its depths. Hot air is lighter than cold, and rises, cold heavier and drops, thus the storm systems attempting to equalize the density of air. The temperature and density and direction of air masses can be determined, and thus the weatherman has historically offered predictions, but these predictions have become increasingly difficult, in part because of the Earth wobble which jerks the Earth about under her mantel of air, often at cross currents to the jet stream.  -ZT/2005

ZetaTalk: Jet Stream Tornadoes

Hi

All over the UK weather their saying that the Jet stream has moved back. It hasn't!

Its taken 3 years for the jet stream to get where it is now and is not going to move in a space of 6 weeks. Be aware of the wind direction coming up to autum and winter. Use your common sense to get stocks in and winter fule ready. The weather we are getting now would be called an Indian summer, which shouldn't happen until September! Migrating birds are turning up a month early as well as seagulls coming in land at this time of year are early.

Drought sends 'mighty Mississippi' river levels near record lows

The "mighty Mississippi" has lost some of its might with the season's epic drought taking its toll on river levels, which are falling to near historic lows.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will spend nearly $7 million dredging in an attempt to keep ports operational and keep the river open for barge traffic in the coming weeks. River levels in Memphis have dropped to within three feet of their historic lows from the 1988 drought.

In just one year, the river has gone through extreme fluctuation. Last May, it was within a foot of its record-high crest because of massive flooding, and today it's 55 feet lower and experiencing historic lows due to drought.

Dramatic images taken from NASA’s Terra satellite show the swollen river in late April of last year compared with images from early July this year. The expanse of the water was over 3 miles wide in parts of Missouri and Arkansas as levees were blown up in order to help protect the town of Cairo, Illinois from flood waters. The image taken July 2012 this year shows a much different story with the river less than a half mile wide in spots.

NASA’s Terra satellite shows the Mississippi River late April 2011 compared with images from early July 2012.

New data from U.S. Drought Monitor issued Thursday shows the drought has worsened in the past week, and now ranks as the second worst drought in U.S. history over the lower 48 since records began in 1895.

Nearly 64% of the contiguous United States is now in moderate to exceptional drought, second only to the summer of 1934, the height of the dust bowl era. Nearly 40% of the corn crop is now considered in poor or very poor condition, and this went up a sharp 8% in only a week.

During the 2012 crop year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated 1,297 counties across 29 states as disaster areas, making all qualified farm operators in the areas eligible for low-interest emergency loans. And on Monday the USDA designated 39 additional counties in eight states as primary natural disaster areas due to damage and losses caused by drought and excessive heat.

A dozen states on Thursday were under some sort of heat advisory or warning, many of them over the worst-hit drought areas. The heat wave is expected to last through much of the weekend, which means conditions will likely continue to worsen over the coming weeks.

And the Army Corps said that the shrinking of the Mississippi means that saltwater is beginning to work its way upriver, which could threaten some water supplies.

Storm darkens sky over New York City July 18, 2012

By John Makely, nbcnews.com

Photographer Inga Sarda-Sorensen took this stunning photograph as the storm descended on New York City Wednesday afternoon. Reports of hail and heavy rain along the Jersey Coast come before a predicted break in the hot weather over the next couple of days.

Photographer Dhani Jones (@Dhani jones on Twitter) took this photograph while flying around the storm and quickly posted it to his Instagram account, user name d0057.

Thunderstorms rolled through New York City on Wednesday, relieving the city of sweltering temperatures but replacing them with pounding rain, strong winds – and hail.

On Wednesday evening, storms affected air traffic along the East Coast and beyond. Inbound traffic to Newark International was delayed by more than 90 minutes, according to the FAA, while LaGuardia Airport was experiencing delays of more than two hours.

Thousands of New Yorkers lost power, and at least one injury was blamed on the storms, NBCNewYork.com reported.

Earlier in the day, temperatures hit 103 degrees in Newark, 100 in Central Park, 101 at LaGuardia and 96 at JFK Internation

Morocco hits 121°F (49.6°C): a national all-time heat record

Wednesday, 18 July 2012

The first new all-time national temperature record of 2012 belongs to Morocco, thanks to the 121.3°F (49.6°C) temperature measured at Marrakech on July 17, 2012. According to the Wunderground International Records data base maintained by our weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, the previous record was 120.4°F (49.1°C) at Agadir on July 30, 2009. A hotter temperature of 51.7°C (125.1°F) was reported from Aghadir (Agadir) Souss Massa Dra region on 17 August 1940 during a chergui wind event. However, this reading is considered unreliable by weather records researcher Maximiliano Herrera, since the temperature was 6°C higher than that measured at nearby stations.

Seven nations set all time heat records in 2011. Nineteen nations (plus the the U.K.'s Ascension Island) set all-time extreme heat records in 2010. One nation (Zambia, in 2011) set an all-time cold record during the period 2010 - 2012. With a very hot airmass in place over much of North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia the remainder of this week, more all-time national heat records may fall.

Submarine summer: More Russian regions drenched in tropical downpours (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

http://www.rt.com/news/russia-floods-chelyabinsk-chechnya-219/

Russia is being battered by massive tropic-like downpours in various regions, turning city streets into rivers. The latest disasters hit the city of Chelyabinsk, in the Urals, and the Republic of Chechnya, destroying communications and vehicles.

Chechnya is the latest in a string of Russian regions to experience the rage of nature, as heavy rains in the mountains which started on Saturday night have already left over 47,000 people without electricity. 

The republic is now extensively using available emergency power supplies, while the weather forecast is negative, promising more heavy rains and hails.

Shortly beforehand, Chelyabinsk – a city in the Urals Mountains with a population over a million – was drenched after a two-hour rainfall poured on to city streets. A thunderstorm combined with wind squalls, causing a series of power cuts.

The local railway station was completely flooded. Outside, knee-deep water left pedestrians housebound and damaged countless cars parked in lowlands.

It follows a similar disaster in Moscow when, on Friday July 13, it was affected by a record rainfall. Three were reportedly killed by lightning, and some of the streets in the capital’s historic center turned into furious streams, sinking dozens of parked cars. In some places the water was about one meter deep.

But evidently, it cannot be compared to the tragedy a week ago when record rainfall caused massive flood in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region on July 7. The wave of water coming from the mountains inflicted massive destruction in the area. According to the latest reports, 172 people lost their lives, while some 35,000 people have been affected by the catastrophe in total. The city of Krymsk was worst hit by the deluge, with Gelenzhik and Novorossiysk also sustaining serious damage.

Over 5,000 houses were devastated by the flood waters in the Krasnodar Region, 4,600 of them in the city of Krymsk. Altogether in the region some 250 houses were completely destroyed. Electricity, water and gas supply was discontinued for several days and locals are still struggling with the aftermath of the catastrophe.

Huge landslide in Alaska park one of continent's biggest

(Reuters) - A huge landslide in an Alaska park that went unnoticed for weeks turns out to have been one of the biggest on record in North America, National Park Service officials said on Thursday.

The slide spread rock and debris about 5.5 miles over a glacier in a remote section of Glacier Bay National Park in southeastern Alaska, officials said.

Unlike other landslides that have occurred in the past in the mountainous park, this event was not triggered by an earthquake, officials said.

"It was detected because of its magnitude, creating its own seismic event," said Lewis Sharman, a Park Service ecologist at Glacier Bay. Records at the U.S. Geological Survey show the event registering as having a magnitude of 3.4.

There were no people in the area at the time, and the slide was not seen until last week, when a Canadian air-taxi pilot flew over the site, said John Quinley, a spokesman for the Park Service's Alaska headquarters.

The slide was far from areas used by park visitors, most of whom tour Glacier Bay by cruise ship, Quinley said.

"You can't see it from a boat or the bay. You've got to be up flying. And it's not on a typical flying route," he said. "It would have been pretty horrific if you'd been camped on the glacier."

Sharman said it is not yet clear what caused the slide, which occurred on a flank of 11,924-foot (3,634-meter) Lituya Mountain. But experts believe that part of the slope simply gave way after repeated freeze-thaw cycles, he said.

Officials are currently trying to estimate the volume of material that fell in the slide, Sharman said.

Fifty-four years ago, there was a fatal landslide in Lituya Bay, which lies at the foot of a glacier flowing from Lituya Mountain.

A July 9, 1958 earthquake registering at magnitude 7.7 loosened massive amounts of rock that dropped into the bay, creating a wave that washed 1,720 feet up the narrow inlet, according to USGS records. Two people on a fishing boat vanished and were presumed dead, and three others on land were killed.

Flooding across the U.K set to stay for years to come (6 July 2012)

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18744189

 

Torrential downpours have been causing disruption in parts of the UK with a month's worth of rain forecast to fall in 24 hours in some areas.

In many towns, people have been battling to stop rising water entering their homes.

Dr Claire Goodess, Senior Researcher in Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, says over the next few decades there will be an increase in heavy rainfall events.
