"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.

Deadly typhoon hits eastern China, one million evacuated

Date created : 10/08/2019 - 12:15

At least 13 people were killed and 16 others missing as Typhoon Lekima lashed eastern China Saturday, downing thousands of trees and forcing more than a million people from their homes.

Waves several metres high hit the coastline as the storm made landfall in Zhejiang province, south of Shanghai.

Thirteen people were killed and 16 missing in a landslide triggered by torrential rains brought by the storm, national television reported.

The tragedy occurred in the municipality of Wenzhou, around 400 kilometres (250 miles) south of Shanghai, CCTV said.

"Torrential rains caused a landslide on a mountain that blocked a river below," it said.

The resulting "dam" created a lake which swept downstream when it burst.

More than a million people were evacuated from their homes ahead of the storm, the official Xinhua news agency reported. Some 110,000 people were housed in shelters.

The monster storm made landfall in the early hours in Wenling City, packing winds of 187 kilometres per hour (116 miles per hour), and was expected to churn up the east coast towards Shanghai, Xinhua added.

Footage broadcast on CCTV showed a torrent of muddy water surging through the streets and emergency workers rescuing a man trapped under rubble and fallen trees.

One street in Yueqing city, part of Wenzhou, was shown completely flooded.

China issued a red alert as the storm approached on Friday, before downgrading the level to orange as winds eased on Saturday morning.

Lekima has been downgraded from a super typhoon to a typhoon as it headed northwards inland.

More heavy rain was forecast for the Shanghai area and the neighbouring provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with authorities warning of possible flash floods, mudslides and landslides caused by the downpours.

In Zhejiang province alone, nearly 300 flights were cancelled, and ferry and rail services were suspended as a precaution.

Around 300,000 people were relocated in Shanghai, where the high-speed maglev train that links the city to one of its airports was suspended.

Shanghai Disneyland was also closed for the first time since the amusement park opened in 2016.

Lekima had earlier swept past the northern tip of Taiwan on Friday, where nine people were injured, thousands of homes lost power temporarily and more than 500 flights were cancelled.

Last September, Typhoon Mangkhut slammed into mainland China where authorities evacuated more than two million people, after it left a trail of destruction in Hong Kong and Macau and killed at least 59 people in the northern Philippines.

Tornadoes Tear Through Southern Luxembourg, Amsterdam: Storms Injure Nearly 2 Dozen

  • Storms sent nearly two dozen people to the hospital.
  • At least 100 homes were damaged.
  • A tornado was also spotted in Amsterdam.

A tornado on Friday ripped across the southern part of Luxembourg, damaging homes and injuring several people.

A tornado was also reported in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

The storm caused major damage in the Luxembourg town of Pétange, where the mayor told the Luxembourg Times that roofs had been ripped off of about 100 homes.

Seven people were taken to the hospital, at least one with serious injuries, the news outlet reported.

Photos posted to social media showed extensive damage

Mayor Pierre Mellina said officials were arranging hotel rooms and other accommodations for those displaced by the storm. The government had also activated a crisis response team and a French rescue unit had arrived to provide assistance.

Tornadoes are unusual but not unheard of in the small European country of only about 600,000 people, sandwiched between Germany, Belgium and France. A cold front moving across Europe brought thunderstorms to the region that spawned the tornado, weather.com meteorologist Jonathan Belles said.

Photos and videos posted from Amsterdam showed a brief tornado. While the storm surprised residents, there were no immediate reports of injuries or major damage.

Weather Underground meteorologist Bob Henson said tornado observations in Europe have become more reliable and numerous in recent years. A 2014 study based on the European Severe Weather Database shows an average of 300 to 400 tornadoes a year since reliable records began in 2006, Henson said.

The most frequent month for European tornadoes is July, with June and August running second.

In Germany, 15 members of a soccer team sustained minor injuries by a lightning strike.

More than 300,000 people displaced as Kerala, Karnataka and Maharashtra states are hit by devastating floods.

Floods have killed at least 100 people and displaced hundreds of thousands across much of India with the southern state of Kerala being the worst hit, authorities said

With rains predicted to worsen in the coming days, the federal government ordered military teams to form rescue units and airlift food to stranded villages across Kerala.

At least 48 people have died since Thursday in floods in Kerala, where the beaches and hill resorts are a major international tourist magnet, state police spokesman Pramod Kumar told the AFP news agency.

In neighbouring Karnataka, at least 24 people have been killed with nine people missing. The western states of Maharashtra and Gujarat have also been badly hit by annual monsoon storms.

Media reports said at least 27 people have lost their lives in Maharashtra, with several major roads closed by the flooding.

More than 12 BILLION tons of ice melts in Greenland in just ONE DAY amid record-breaking scorching temperatures

  • Melted glacier water gushed under a bridge in Kangerlussiauq in Greenland  
  • The Greenland ice sheet lost 12 billion tons of ice on Wednesday due to heat
  • That would be the equivalent of four million Olympic swimming pools 
  • This day alone was responsible for global sea levels rising by 0.5mm 
  • The Greenland ice sheet is the second largest in the world 
  • By the end of the year it could lose 60 - 70 billion tons of ice experts believe
  • July was anticipated to be the hottest month in recorded history 

Shocking footage from Greenland shows melted glacier water gushing under a bridge after 12 billions tons of ice was lost in one day.

The grayish-white flood was filmed crashing into the surrounding channels of land and racing under a bridge in Kangerlussiauq on Thursday.

It's believed that the melted ice is the equivalent of around four million Olympic swimming pools, according to CNN

It was caused by soaring temperatures across the globe this year, which in July led to more than 197 billion tons of sea ice melting. 

Greenland temperature melts 10 billion tons of ice in one day.

Typically the melt season begins at the end of May and lasts until the end of August, this year it started in early May and could on for longer.

Data from temperatures in July is still being analysed but could be have been the hottest in history, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Programme. 

The previous record high in July 2016. 

The Greenland ice sheet, which is the second largest in the world, could lose around 60 to 70 billion tons of ice by the end of the year.

This season's melt in Greenland has already contributed to around a half millimeter rise in global sea levels. 

Similar footage of the water filmed by Laurie Gibbett had been watched over 3.73 million times and retweeted by more than 53,800 accounts as of Friday.

Gibbet, of the Council on Foreign Relations, described the scenes she witnessed on Thursday as a 'roaring glacial melt.'

600 people killed, over 25 million affected by flooding in India, Bangladesh, Nepal & Myanmar

https://asianews.network/2019/07/29/600-people-killed-over-25-mn-af...

At least 600 people have been killed and over 25 million others affected by flooding due to the torrential monsoon rains in Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Myanmar, the UN has said.

At that 600 people have reportedly been killed in monsoon-related incidents, he said.

Haq said that according to the UN’s humanitarian personnel, “more than 25 million people have been affected by flooding due to the torrential monsoon rains in Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Myanmar, with more than half a million people displaced, our humanitarian colleagues tell us”.

In India, UNICEF is working with the state governments to provide multi-sectoral planning and coordination support in the three worst-affected states of Assam, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

The UN agency said that while many areas remain inaccessible due to damage to roads, bridges and railways, the most urgent needs for children are clean water, hygiene supplies to prevent the spread of disease, food supplies and safe places in evacuation centres for children to play.

In India, more than 10 million people have been affected across Assam, Bihar, parts of UP and other north-eastern states, including more than 4.3 million children.

As the situation develops, these numbers are only likely to increase.

In Assam alone, almost 2,000 schools have been damaged by floodwaters. While parts of India have been suffering from heavy rainfall and flooding, other parts are still reeling from the aftermath of severe heat and water deficit, affecting almost half of the country.

In Bangladesh, it is estimated that over four million people have been affected and the UN is helping to assess needs to determine the necessary response and is also supporting the government in the areas of water and sanitation as well as health.

In Myanmar, waters in some areas have receded, allowing some of those who had been uprooted to return home, but over 40,000 people remain displaced.

“The governments in all four countries are leading the response with support from the UN, aid agencies and the private sector,” Haq said.

Last week, the UN children’s agency UNICEF said heavy rainfall, flooding and landslides across Nepal, India and Bangladesh have killed at least 93 children and put the lives of millions more at risk.

UNICEF estimated that more than 12 million people, including about five million children, have been affected.

“Millions of children have seen their lives turned upside down by the torrential rainfall, flooding and landslides,” UNICEF Regional Director for South Asia Jean Gough said.

In Nepal, an estimated 68,666 people are temporarily displaced, including 28,702 children. A total of 88 people have died, including 47 children (15 girls and 32 boys).

In Bangladesh, monsoon rains continue to affect most of the country, particularly the central-northern and south-east regions.

Over two million people have been affected by flooding, including around 700,510 children. An estimated 367,341 houses have been damaged or destroyed and 1,866 primary and community schools have been damaged by floodwaters.

Cox’s Bazar home to more than a million Rohingya refugees – has been hit by excessive rain this month.

“Across the region, we are seeing the devastating impact of extreme weather events on children and families. As weather events become more extreme, unpredictable and erratic, it is children who are paying the heaviest price,” said Gough.

“Such events can cause death and devastation and can also contribute to the increased spread of major killers of children, such as malnutrition, malaria and diarrhoea.

“And as these extreme climate events increase in frequency and magnitude, the risks to children will likely outpace global capacity to mitigate them as well as to provide a humanitarian response,” it said, adding that floods threaten children’s survival and development, with direct impacts including injuries and death by drowning.

Meanwhile, health-focused relief and development organisation Americares said its chapter in India, Americares India, is organising medical teams to treat survivors of the monsoon rains that have inundated South Asia.

Beginning next week, Americares India will organise medical teams in three districts in Assam and two districts in Bihar, where continuous rains and contaminated water have heightened health concerns.

The teams, operated in partnership with local health care organisations, will provide medical care and dispense medications as needed. Americares also plans to deliver hygiene kits.

“With homes and roads submerged in several feet of standing water, we expect to see an increase in infections. Our medical teams will focus on providing primary care and basic first aid for the most vulnerable survivors, including pregnant women, children and the elderly,” said Americares India Managing Director Shripad Desai.

Americares India, based in Mumbai, provides emergency medical and humanitarian aid in response to floods, cyclones, earthquakes and other disasters.

11 Dead, Around 6,000 Hospitalized in Japan Heatwave






Heat-related illnesses have claimed 11 lives and sent nearly 6,000 others to hospitals in Japan as the mercury rose following the end of rainy season, according to the government on Tuesday.

The heatwave saw 5,664 people taken to hospitals, 1,199 of whom displayed severe symptoms requiring at least three weeks of treatment, and 1,792 requiring shorter treatment for less serious symptoms.

The total number, however, spiked from 2,000 people hospitalised across Japan a week earlier due to the heat.

On Tuesday, temperatures continued to soar, and the agency and weather officials warned people to take preventative measures against heatstroke and other heat-related illnesses, Xinhua news agency reported.

Tajimi in Gifu Prefecture, central Japan, saw the mercury rise to 37.1 degrees Celsius, while Kumagaya in Tokyo's neighbouring prefecture of Saitama and Kyoto saw temperatures rocket to 36.8 degrees Celsius.

In Tokyo, the daytime high was logged at 35.4 degrees Celsius. Temperatures across Japan are expected to stay above 25 degrees Celsius overnight.

In the week to last Sunday, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said 52.6 per cent of the people hospitalised were aged 65 and above.

Aichi Prefecture saw the most people rushed to hospital with 393 cases, followed by Osaka Prefecture with 388 cases. Tokyo, meanwhile, saw 299 people rushed to hospital suffering from heat-related medical conditions.

Across wide swathes of Japan from north to south, temperatures were forecast to remain upwards of 36 degrees Celsius through Wednesday, weather officials said.

North America's strange and bizarre summer continues: A new record low is broken as Minnesota drops to 37 degrees F, (2.5 deg C)

Photo Max Brickman

The crazy weather affecting the US in 2010 continues when a new daily low-temperature record was set in International Falls, where the mercury dipped to 37 degrees F, (2.5 deg C), breaking the record (38 degrees) set back in 1898.
The low temperature recorded in Minnesota on Tuesday morning is around 20 deg F cooler than it should be this time of the year.
Temperatures in the area don’t typically reach the 30s until late September, early October.

Just 10 days ago, a  dangerous and deadly heatwave gripped more than half of the U.S.
Tens of millions baked in record-setting high temperatures with heat advisories or warnings from the Midwest to much of the East Coast.
A very rare July "cold front", ended the gargantuan heatwave, which raised a few eyebrows.

2019 has already been declared the worst agricultural disaster in modern American history with catastrophic flooding, continued through March to the beginning of July.

Anchorage, Alaska hit 89 degrees F, (32 deg C), in July to break the all-time highest temperature ever recorded: Campbell Creek hit 91 degrees F, (33 deg C)
Meanwhile, as Alaska has been suffering the heatwave for weeks now with temperatures reaching 92 deg F, (33.5 deg C), massive fires in remote areas are burning out of control.
Plumes of smoke from the fires can be seen from space.
Alaska alone has lost 1.6 billion acres to wildfires this year.

While the continental United States recorded its wettest 12-month period in recorded history this year, historic flooding and record-shattering rainfall amount landed May 2019 as the second-wettest month in the United States according to a report by Accuweather.

Many farmers are facing bankruptcy this summer as many farms have been to waterlogged to plant crops.

Bridge collapses as hailstones and floods bombard North Yorkshire


The Met Office says downpours led to 50mm of rain falling in just one hour across parts of northern England. Credit: Swaledale Mountain Rescue

This is the dramatic collapse of a bridge in North Yorkshire as flash flooding hit the region.

Forecasters said parts of the north-west had seen 50mm of rain in about 24 hours, with 52.2mm recorded near Oldham.

The torrential rain brought flooding to areas in the north-west of England and brought travel chaos, as vehicles tried to navigate flood water.

Drivers also filmed hailstones the "size of small sweets" bombarding their cars as thunderstorms and torrential rain swept across the UK.

Hailstones the "size of small sweets" battered the region, as thunderstorms and torrential rain continue to sweep across the UK.

Dramatic footage showing hailstones hammering down on the streets of Ripon has been captured by surprised residents.

"It is very unusual..the people of Ripon have described it as being the worst hailstorm they've seen in living memory, which carpeted the streets and pavements, with hailstorms probably the size of small sweets," news editor at Minister FM, David Dunning told ITV News.

Vehicles can be seen trying to navigate the streets as huge hailstones fall from the sky.

A belt of hail, rain and thunderstorms is moving across northern England, Mr Dunning said.

Coastguard teams rescued a man and woman clinging to a cliff “by their fingernails” after they were trapped by the tide.

    The pair were stranded 100ft up Filey Brigg, a peninsula in North Yorkshire, as they tried to climb the cliff to escape the tide, which cut them off as they walked the beach, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said.

    Elsewhere, farmer Andrew Loftus, from Masham, said some of the hailstones spanned almost an inch across.

    He posted a picture of a toy digger on a blanket of white with the caption: "My son’s digger has its work cut out with these hailstones!"

    Further warnings are in place on Wednesday for parts of Scotland, north Wales, north England and the Midlands.

    The freak hailstorm comes after half a month's rain fell in 24 hours across parts of the country at the weekend.

    A spokesman for the Met Office said the unsettled weather was down to a band of low pressure coming up from the South West, leading to heavy downpours in some parts.

    Malham Tarn in the Yorkshire Dales had 82.2mm of rain in 24 hours, the majority in the space of four hours. The monthly average in the area for this time of year is 89mm.

    Gorslas in South Wales saw 34.2mm of rain, while Dartmoor and Exmoor had 36mm.

    Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna said: “Some of the storms across the north of England have had some big hailstones because the air is so unstable - conditions are perfect for generating big thunderstorms.

    "There’s low pressure that’s dominated coming up from the South West and that’s helping to generate these showers."

    He added the unstable conditions would continue for the next 24 to 36 hours, particularly in the north of England and Scotland.

    The Met Office has put out a yellow rain warning for the north of England all day on Wednesday, with a yellow storm warning for Wednesday afternoon and evening in Scotland.

    Showers are likely to continue in northern and eastern parts of the UK into the latter half of the week, but in Wales, Northern Ireland and the South of England it will turn drier and brighter.

    Mr Petagna said: “There’s going to be no return of the extreme heat seen last week for a while – while things are going to improve over Thursday and Friday they are going to turn unsettled again during the weekend.”

    Showers are expected across the UK, with the South expected to see sticky, humid conditions with temperatures peaking at 27C (80.6F).

    "When the sun comes out it could become quite warm in the South – nothing like last week but still a few degrees above average," Mr Petagna said.
