"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."

Weather anomalies are spreading across the world: Coldest summer for 100 years in Queensland, Australia, Earliest ice formation in 71 years on the Han River, South Korea, 3.5 meters of snow in Germany

The weather is going crazy around the world, breaking almost every week a new extreme event record. Here three examples of weather anomalies recorded these days around the world:

More than 1.5 meters of fresh snow and 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) of snow accumulation were recorded on The Brocken, also known as the Blocksberg, the highest peak of the Harz mountain range and also the highest peak of Northern Germany culminating at 1,141 metres (3,743 ft):

The next event is actually good news for the next winter olympics – although they are still far away. After five days of extreme cold weather, ice has formed on the Han River in Seoul, South Korea.

And this ICE is the first ice formation on the river before Dec. 15 in 71 years. Last time such a phenomenon occurred was on December 12, 1946.

While Finally, normally very hot, the current summer in Queensland, Australia breaks record lows with temperatures dropping to 11 degrees Celsius below average, which is, even for forecasters, a “very unusual” phenomenon. Mount Isa had its lowest overnight December temperate ever on record at 12 degrees Celsius – 11C degrees below average. Burketown had a minimum of 17.7C which was the lowest they’d seen up there since 1920, but that was eclipsed today with 16C, and that’s the coldest December morning since 1907. Richmond yesterday was 11.8C which was the lowest there in December since 1909. And of course the reason behind this anomaly is unknown!

I would just like to add videos about some other strange weather events going on these last few days:

Aerial footage captured images of the Chilean village of Villa Santa Lucia buried beneath a thick layer of mud on Saturday, following a deadly landslide which killed at least five people:

Italy: helicopters ferry flood victims to safety

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/12/12/italy-helicopters-ferry-flo...

MILAN –  Italian firefighters used helicopters and rubber dinghies to evacuate stranded residents of a town in the northern region of Emilia Romagna that flooded when waters overran earthen dikes.

Video provided by firefighters Tuesday shows houses under water after the Enza River flooded its reinforced banks in the town of Lentigione. The news agency ANSA said about 1,000 people were evacuated, but a woman who answered the phone at the city hall was unable to confirm the numbers.

Firefighters also rescued three people and a dog with a rubber dinghy from the town of Colorno when the Parma river flooded.

Heavy rain and snow fall has hampered travel in stretches of northern Italy, with trains severely delayed between the coastal city of Genoa and Milan.

Giant smoke-generated mushroom cloud above California mountains causes huge updraft and threatens to spread wildfires even further as devastated area is now larger than NYC and Boston COMBINED

• The Pyrocumulus cloud, which resembled an erupting volcano or a nuclear bomb, was seen above the San Ynez Mountains of western Ventura County in the Los Padres National Forest, near Santa Barbara
• The weather phenomenon, also known as a fire cloud, stretched up almost 30,000 feet high
•  Eric Boldt, a forecaster with the National Weather Service, said it's similar to a thunderstorm and could be responsible for helping spread the Thomas Wildfire
• On Sunday, the Calfire grew 50,000 acres to 230,000 acres. It is now the fifth worst fire in Californian history
• Thousands of firefighters were battling the blaze on Monday as it crept relentlessly up the Pacific coast and forced new evacuations 

An ominous mushroom cloud was spotted above California Monday as one of the most destructive wildfires in the state's history crept relentlessly up the Pacific coast.

The weather phenomenon, which resembled an erupting volcano or a nuclear bomb, was seen above the San Ynez Mountains of western Ventura County in the Los Padres National Forest, near Santa Barbara.

The billowing Pyrocumulus cloud, also known as a fire cloud, stretched up almost 30,000 feet high.

Eric Boldt, a forecaster with the National Weather Service office in Oxnard, told San Francisco Gate that the cloud was created by similar forced to a thunderstorm - and its strong winds could be responsible for helping spread the Thomas Wildfire on Sunday as Calfire grew 50,000 acres to 230,000 acres. It is now the fifth worst fire in Californian history.

An apocalyptic mushroom cloud was spotted above California Monday as one of the most destructive wildfires in the state's history crept relentlessly up the Pacific coast

'When we see these clouds billowing so tall, it's the same mechanisms that are happening with a thunderstorm,' he said. 

'You're causing updrafts and air that's pushing the smoke higher. It creates its own wind. If it starts to spin, that's where you can get more wind and fast-moving progression of the fire. It can become a dangerous situation for firefighters.'

Thousands of firefighters were battling the blaze on Monday as it crept relentlessly up the Pacific coast and forced new evacuations.

As a wildfire near Los Angeles was brought under control, fire crews were being redeployed to battle the Thomas Fire northwest of America's second-largest city.

Fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters were assisting nearly 6,400 firefighters trying to keep the Thomas Fire away from beachfront towns south of the historic city of Santa Barbara, the California Fire Department (Cal Fire) said.

Here’s how rare it is to have large wildfires in December in California.

Here’s how rare it is to have large wildfires in December in California

By KURT SNIBBE | [e-mail] and DANIEL TEDFORD | [e-mail] | Orange County Register

PUBLISHED: December 6, 2017 at 1:49 pm | UPDATED: December 6, 2017 at 3:50 pm

There are at least six active wildfires burning in Southern California right now.  That’s nearly the total of all large December wildfires from 2000 to 2015, according to Cal Fire statistics.

The map below shows active fires as of noon, Dec. 6.

If you look at the statistics below, they show a mere seven California fires that burned more than 300 acres when totaling December numbers from 2000 to 2015.  The second lowest months were January and February with 11 such wildfires.

July had the most fires between 2000 and 2015 with a total of 313.

Of the seven fires in December from 2000 to 2015, four were in Southern California and two were in Ventura County.

The total acres burned in those seven fires was 21,090. The fire burning right now in Ventura County, called the Thomas fire, is estimated to have already burned 65,000 acres – almost three times the acreage of the other December fires. The previous largest fire in December was the Shekell fire in Ventura which burned 13,600 acres in 2006.

Even before the start of this week’s fires, this year was going down as the most destructive wildfire season in California history, state officials said.

From Jan. 1 to Dec. 3, there were 6,762 fires that destroyed 505,391 acres. That’s 43 percent more events for the same time period last year, when 244,297 acres were destroyed, according to Cal Fire.

“Fuel. Ignition. Meteorology. Each component of the formula are off the charts this year,” said Bill Patzert, a climatologist for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “When all three elements in the equation are supersized, you’re set up for apocalyptic conditions.”

California is not alone in feeling the pain. In the U.S. Forest Service’s 2017 briefing to Congress in October the agency said that the fire season was the most costly across the nation.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue said, “As wildfire costs exceed $2 billion, I appreciate those in Congress who recognize this funding issue and are working to make a permanent fix that allows us to manage our forests preemptively. While we can’t stop these wildfires, we know we can be prepared in a much better way.”

Wildfire suppression for the Forest Service costs for the fiscal year exceeded $2 billion, making it the most expensive year on record.

Authorities in Los Angeles, California have ordered evacuations of nearly 200,000 residents as the rampaging Skirball Fire began to consume homes, and for a short while, shut down part of Interstate 405, one of the busiest freeways in the US.

The fast-moving brush fire started around 5am local time on Wednesday near the Getty Center. At 7:30am, authorities ordered residents living south of Mulholland Drive, east of the 405, north of Sunset Boulevard, and west of Roscomare Road to evacuate their homes.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Skirball Fire has led to the evacuations of 700 homes, one apartment building and an elementary school in the city’s Sepulveda Pass. The brush fire has charred 475 acres and is 5 percent contained.The number of people affected has reached 46,000. More than 300 personnel from the Los Angeles Fire Department are on the scene and are being supported by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, LAPD and the Angeles National Forest and CalFire, officials said during a Wednesday afternoon news conference.

Four structures have been destroyed, and 11 damaged, all of which were residential, authorities told reporters. There have been no reported injuries.

The National Weather Service has extended a Red Flag Warning across much of the Southern California region through Saturday.

Red flag warning has been extended across much of #SoCalthru Sat. High wind warnings are in effect for most #LACounty#VenturaCounty mtns and valleys. Stay safe and use care with ignition sources. #CAwx

4 homes destroyed, possibly up to 6, @MayorOfLA says of #SkirballFire http://on.ktla.com/SykOA 

Evacuations Ordered as Skirball Fire Burns Homes in Bel-Air Area; 405 Freeway Closed From 10 to 101

This is a developing wildfire story. Please check back frequently for updates. A brush fire that erupted near the Getty Center early Wednesday morning burned at least four homes, prompted mandatory...

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti declared a local State of Emergency Wednesday because of the Skirball Fire. The blaze has now grown to 150 acres. The northbound and southbound lanes of the 405 Freeway, which had previously been shut, have been reopened, KCBS reported.

Residents living west of I-405 should brace for evacuations, in case flames jump the freeway, officials said earlier on Wednseday. 

High winds reaching 80 mph (129 km/h) are are expected to exacerbate the fires.

#SantaAnaWinds will continue to elevate fire danger in Southern CA with expectant winds reaching 80 mph on Thursday. Any new fires will have extreme levels of fire growth potential.

Commuters have uploaded videos and photos showing apocalyptic scenes as the fire rages next to the 405.

“Not the typical morning commute…” a Los Angeles investment banker commented.

“Today was scariest morning commute of my life,” tweeted musician Rick Patrick. “The scariest part was the heat hitting my car. It felt like driving into the sun.”

The Thomas, Creek and Rye Fires continue to wreaking havoc in Southern California, as authorities and firefighters scramble to contain the rapidly moving blazes.

The Thomas Fire, which started at around 6:30pm Monday, is considered a wildfire, and was the first of the three to ignite. Located 60 miles (97km) northwest of Los Angeles in Ventura County, that fire spread from 500 acres Monday night to 50,000 acres the following morning.

The Creek Fire was the second blaze to erupt. The wildfire started at 4am Tuesday and rapidly spread in the foothills of the Angeles National Forest, located above the neighborhood of Sylmar in the San Fernando Valley.

It has now burned through 11,377 acres, and is five percent contained, Garcetti said in a Wednesday afternoon press conference.

The Creek Fire has destroyed 11 homes and injured two firefighters, KTLA reported.

A fast-moving two-alarm brush fire, dubbed the Rye Fire, led to the closure of a portion of the Interstate 5 highway. The fire is burning in Santa Clarita, about 30 miles (48km) north of Los Angeles, according to KABC.

Freak Warm Spell Surges Temperatures 50+ Degrees Above Average in Greenland

Well-above average temperatures pooled in the Arctic on Nov. 29. The white line separates sub-freezing air to the north and air that is above freezing to the south.

At a Glance

• A freak warm spell sent temperatures soaring in Greenland Wednesday.
• Temperatures soared above the freezing mark as far north as northwest Greenland.
• Freak Arctic above-freezing warm spells also occurred in November and December 2016.

Temperatures skyrocketed above freezing in parts of northern Greenland on Wednesday as a surge of warm air from the Atlantic poured northward. 

A high temperature of 4.7 degrees Celsius, roughly 40 degrees Fahrenheit, was reported Wednesday at Qaanaaq Airport, along the far northwest coast of Greenland at a latitude of about 77.5 degrees north, about 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

Maximum temperatures (degrees Celsius) on Nov. 29, 2017. The red arrow denotes Qaanaaq Airport. Parts of northwest Greenland rose above freezing thanks to strong low pressure over northern Canada and warmer-than-average ocean temperatures to the South.

(OGIMET)

That equates to temperatures roughly 50 degrees above average in northern Greenland for late November, where temperatures are usually in the minus 20s and minus 30s Fahrenheit. 

(MORE: Parts of Siberia were Colder Than Minus 60 Degrees Fahrenheit, and ...)

This tongue of warmer air arrived by means of strong southerly winds sandwiched between a strong low pressure system located over northern Canada and a strong high pressure system located near east-central Canada. 

Warm temperatures from the ocean and favorable winds aided the near-freezing temperatures as far north as northern Greenland.

Also contributing to the warmth were ocean temperatures 6-10 degrees above average between southern Greenland and adjacent portions of eastern Canada. 

A northward extension of ice-free water in Baffin Bay, not that atypical for late November, extended along Greenland's west coast to the south of Qaanaaq, according to an analysis by the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Estimated sea-ice extent (white) compared to the 1981-2010 average extent (yellow line) on Nov. 29, 2017, during the freak warm event over northwest Greenland.

As strange as this sounds, last November and again last December, near or above-freezing air surged as far north as the North Pole.

Witnesses describe seeing ‘wall of flames’ along highway 401

Grass fire prompts closure of 401

 

The flames were seen shooting up to 40 feet into the sky causing a huge distraction for motorists.

The 401 had to be shut down in both directions in Cambridge on Tuesday night following a grass fire that officials say burned out of control at one point.

Witnesses describe seeing a ‘wall of flames’ along the 401 around 6 p.m.

The fire started in the area of industrial road and McGovern Road, just south of highway 401 and west of Hespeler Road.

It began to encroach onto the highway prompting Ontario Provincial Police to shut down the 401 between Shantz Hill Road and Hespeler Road.

About 25 firefighters from three stations responded alongside Waterloo Regional Police and OPP.

Cambridge fire officials said fire grew to be about 4 acres in size , but they did manage to bring it under control quickly.

Officials have not yet identified the source of the fire, but said it is a popular area for people who are homeless.

The highway was reopened just after 8:30 p.m.

There were no injuries or damages as the fire occurred on a grassy, vacant piece of land.

JET STREAM

THE POLAR VORTEX DIVES TO FRANCE

28 November 2017 by La Chaîne Météo

http://actualite.lachainemeteo.com/actualite-meteo/2017-11-28-09h18...

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

The polar vortex, whose term had been highly publicized during the cold spells that affected the United States these last winters, will experience a stall from the Arctic and plunges towards France.

The meteorological situation changes abruptly over Western Europe: a vast low-pressure system forms from Scandinavia to Italy, bringing winds directed to the north-west to north sector. Around this huge low-lying area, many hearts travel, bringing bad weather all over western Europe (wind, rain, storms and snow).

It is actually a "stall" jet-stream, the wind that blows at high altitude and contains polar air at high latitudes. Sometimes, the jet stream is deviated from its usual trajectory (from west to east) and dives to the south: this is what happened during the cold waves that occurred in North America in recent years .

Polar air plunges south

The deviation of jet-stream plunges to the British Isles, France and Benelux. This situation is characterized by the arrival of very cold air in altitude (-35 ° to 5000 m) but on the surface, the effects are not the same as in North America because in Europe, the winds coming from the north- West are of maritime origin: they are therefore softened by the ocean.

At first, the arrival of this maritime polar air causes a sudden drop in temperatures

At the same time, the flow of cold air plunges into the Mediterranean and reaches the Maghreb, resulting in the Mistral in the south-east of France and bad weather in North Africa.

California steaming! Heatwave grips the state with a record-breaking high of 97F for Thanksgiving

• Record-high Thanksgiving temperatures in Southern California were broken according to the National Weather Service
• Downtown LA hit 91F breaking the previous record of 90F in November 1903
• The highest temperature was seen in the city of Oxnard, which reached 97F 
• On Friday, temperatures are expected to begin falling down to the mid-80s
• An upper-level ridge of high pressure, trapping warm desert air, has caused the unseasonable temperatures 

California was sizzling after being gripped by a massive heatwave over Thanksgiving with record-high temperatures. 

In downtown Los Angeles, the high was 91F, making this year's Thanksgiving the hottest since record-keeping began in 1877, the National Weather Service (NWS) said.

The previous record Thanksgiving Day high was 90F, set on November 26, 1903. 

Several other cities experienced similar circumstances with Burbank reaching 95F, Long Beach hitting 96F, and Oxnard topping at 97F - all breaking their previous record-highs for the holiday.

California was left sizzling after being gripped by a massive heatwave over Thanksgiving with record-high temperatures. In downtown Los Angeles, the high was 91F, the hottest on record since the National Weather Service began record-keeping in 1887

+4

The heat wave, which began Wednesday, is expected to begin breaking up Friday, with high temperatures for downtown Los Angeles expected to drop to the mid-80s

Some relief from the heat could be found along the coast and the High Desert where temperatures were in the low-80s, making it somewhat cooler than the valleys of the Inland Empire, according to NWS meteorologist James Brotherton with the San Diego office.

The heat wave, which began on Wednesday, is expected to begin breaking up on Friday, with high temperatures for downtown Los Angeles expected to drop to the mid-80s.

The trend is expected to continue through the weekend, with the high falling to about 80F on Saturday and into the mid-70s, more normal for this time of year, on Sunday.

Temperatures are expected to remain in the 80s in the valleys near Los Angeles through the weekend.

The unseasonably warm weather is being caused by an upper-level ridge of high pressure over Southern California, trapping warm desert air.

Many Californians used the opportunity to head to the beach to sunbathe and play.

But come Tuesday, temperatures will start climbing up again, according to Brotherton. Highs are expected to reach the low- to mid-80s.

According to Todd Hall, a meteorologist with the NWS Oxnard office, the agency began putting out information last week about the rise in temperatures so people could prepare for it and keep hydrated.
