"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."

• Temps to reach mid 40's deg C (115 deg F) in parts of Europe.
• Temperatures sparking wildfires.
• A 79-year-old woman was found dead in a field next to her home in Italy
• High humidity in the north and hot winds from Africa in the south are making the perceived temperatures seem even hotter 
• Olive yields in parts of the country are forecast to be 50 percent lower than normal this autumn and the scarcity of water has cut sheep's milk production by 30 percent in others, with knock-on effects for the production of one of Italy's most popular cheeses, pecorino.
• Temperatures in Southern Spain are expected to hit mid 40's deg C as well well as extreme temperatures in southern France, Italy and the Balkans with Eastern Europe, Hungary and Romania also suffering dangerous temperatures at the height of the tourist season.

With temperatures set to hit 46 deg C (115 deg F) in parts of Italy today wildfires have turned deadly.
A heatwave that has left Italy sweltering in record temperatures sparked wildfires Thursday which claimed the life of one elderly woman and forced the closure of a major highway.
The 79-year-old woman was found dead in a field next to her home in Sant'Omero in the central region of Abruzzo, having apparently been overcome by flames that engulfed two hectares of surrounding farmland.
A section of the Via Aurelia coastal motorway that runs northwards from Rome to the Riviera had to be closed for several hours because of a major fire near Grosseto in Tuscany.
The region's celebrated landscape is usually baked to a rich golden colour by the end of the summer: this year it resembles burnt toast with August barely underway.
With peak temperatures topping 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in much of the country, a total of 26 major towns and cities were on the health ministry's maximum heat alert.
Admissions to hospital emergency units have spiked 15 percent in recent days and forecasters see no respite coming before early next week.
High humidity in the north and hot winds from Africa in the south are making the perceived temperatures seem even hotter for Italians longing for the beach.
The heatwave has come on the back of a prolonged drought that is set to cost Italy's large agricultural sector billions with 11 regions facing critical water shortages.
Olive yields in parts of the country are forecast to be 50 percent lower than normal this autumn and the scarcity of water has cut sheep's milk production by 30 percent in others, with knock-on effects for the production of one of Italy's most popular cheeses, pecorino.

Temperatures in Southern Spain are expected to hit mid 40's deg C as well well as extreme temperatures in southern France, Italy and the Balkans with Eastern Europe, Hungary and Romania also suffering dangerous temperatures at the height of the tourist season.

7 strange weather anomalies that baffled US meteorologists this week

Here a compilation of 7 strange weather phenomena that baffled meteorologists this week.

And there are more to come.

The final full week of July has featured several unusual weather events. Among them are several rainfall extremes, strange tropical cyclone interactions and out-of-season conditions.

A downpour that had a 0.1-percent chance of happening in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Harrisburg International Airport received 4.27 inches of rain in a single hour, from 5:56 to 6:56 p.m. EDT. A rainfall event of this magnitude in Harrisburg has just a 0.1-percent chance of happening in a given year, according to NOAA.

Weather anomalies in the USA in July 2017: Harrisburg International Airport received 4.27 inches of rain in a single hour

This now stands as the wettest July day on record, and the fifth-wettest day overall for any month of the year at that location. This downpour was extremely localized. Harrisburg’s Capital City Airport, just a few miles to the northwest, saw less than a half-inch of rain during the same evening.

Third time in 140 years: Rain in downtown Lor Angeles on July 24

A trace of rain was recorded in downtown Los Angeles on July 24. Only three other times in history has any rain been observed there on July 24. A trace was also recorded on July 24 in 1954, 1941 and 1910.

July is the driest month of the year in Los Angeles as the jet stream moves far to the north, taking the storm track away from California.

Hurricane swallows up another hurricane: Fujiwhara effect x 2

I’ve been discussing the Fujiwhara effect in the Pacific Ocean. It’s an uncommon event during which one low pressure area swallows up another one. Typhoon Noru and now former Tropical Storm Kulap have already done ... Now, the Fujiwhara effect is forecast to take place in the eastern Pacific between Irwin and Hilary through this weekend.

model forecast from July 27, 2017, of the expected Fujiwhara effect of tropical cyclones Irwin and Hilary.

Observing a single Fujiwhara event is a rarity in a given year, so having this occur twice in a matter of days is exceptional.

No measurable rain in Seattle this month, A new record for the city

Wet days are not a common occurrence in Seattle during July since it’s typically the driest month of the year. The dryness this month, however, has a chance to enter the record books for Sea-Tac airport. No measurable rain has been observed there through July 28, and none is in the forecast through Wednesday, August 2.

Seattle is in the midst of its fifth-longest dry streak on record at 41 days through Friday.

Fall temperatures recorded in New England

The weather in New England on Monday afternoon resembled something you might imagine occurring in fall or spring. At 1 p.m. EDT, Boston was just 58 degrees with light rain and winds gusting to 26 mph.

low temperature new england

That temperature was only four degrees warmer than the daily record low for July 24, which is 54 degrees.

Rare cold front in the South in July

The South will have a late-July treat this weekend as a cold front sweeps away the typical summer humidity currently in place. Cold front passages are a fairly rare occurrence in the South during mid-summer, because the jet stream is usually bottled up near the Canadian border and rarely takes the sharp dive southward that is needed for a cold front to penetrate into the southern states.

Dew points in the 70s are typical in the Southeast during July. This weekend, dew points in parts of the Southeast will drop into the 50s and 60s.

South Florida July is too hot

July is on track to be the warmest month on record for Miami, where temperatures have had a rough time dropping below the 80 degree mark. The number of nights that Miami has failed to fall below 81 degrees stands at 22 through July 28.

With the exception of one day, every day in July has peaked over 91 degrees even with rainfall being nearly twice the average for the month.

Fresh snow in parts of the Alps – July 27, 2017

http://www.severe-weather.eu/news/fresh-snow-in-parts-of-the-alps-j...

Parts of the Alps in Austria and Italy have been blanketed in a layer of fresh snow locally 10-15 cm thick.

The first impressions come from Rifugio Torino in the Mt Blanc massif, extreme NW Italy (Alps), yesterday, July 26.

Thick fresh snow was also reported at the Dachsteingetscher, Austria (~2700 m) this morning, July 27.

Denmark faces first ‘summer-less’ July in 38 years

https://www.thelocal.dk/20170726/denmark-faces-first-summer-less-ju...

Let’s face it, this has hardly felt like summer. Now we’ve got the numbers to prove it.

According to the Danish Meteorology Institute (DMI), July is likely to end without a single ‘summer day’, which is defined as any day in which temperatures top 25C (77F) at least somewhere in Denmark.

 

If the next five days come and go without hitting 25C as predicted, it will mark the first time that Danes will have suffered through a summer-less July in nearly four decades. 

 

“There are only three years in our records in which July contains a big fat zero when it comes to summer days and temps above 25C. That’s 1962, 1974 and 1979,” climatologist John Cappelen said on the DMI website. 

 

DMI’s database goes back to 1874. 

 

The warmest day thus far this month was July 19th, when an almost-yet-not-quite-there 24.6C was recorded. There were only two days in all of June that qualified as a summer day, while May had five. 

 

But meteorologist Klaus Larsen said that all hope is not yet lost. 

 

“The prognoses for the last day of the month - Monday the 31st – are hopping back and forth over the magic point. Until then there are no real signs that we will get over 25C so no matter what we are looking at a meteorological photo finish,” he said. 

 

Before banking on Monday to break July’s sad streak, perhaps it’s worth a reminder that DMI wrongly predicted we would top 25C last week.

 

Oh well, we can always hope against hope that August is better.

Unprecedented rainfall: Desert state of Rajasthan records 1466 mm (57.7 inches) in 48 hours

Mount Abu weather station in Sirohi district of India's desert state of Rajasthan received an unprecedented amount of rain on July 25 and 26 with a staggering cumulative of 1 466 mm (57.7 inches) on top of 700 mm (25.5 inches) received on July 23 and 24. While the numbers still need to be verified by officials, it won't mean much for the locals who are already experiencing severe floods and landslides.  At least 12 people have been killed across the state, as of early July 26. In the neighboring state of Gujarat, the death toll reached 83, bringing the total to 95 in less than 3 days.

The state of Rajasthan has been witnessing drenching rains over the past couple of days. To such an extent that these showers have wreaked havoc among the locals, distressing normal life as well as road and rail traffic, SkyMet Weather reported July 26.

The reason for these rains could be attributed to the low pressure area which was over Central Rajasthan and at present has shifted to southwestern parts of the state. Further, this system is likely to weaken gradually in the next 24 hours, SkyMet meteorologists said.

According to The Hindu, statistics show that until 2010, the 100-year record for a single-day of rain in Mount Abu was 653 mm (25.7 inches) in 1992. The only comparable deluge after was a 453 mm (17.8 inches) downpour in 2015. In comparison, the torrential rain that brought Mumbai to a standstill in 2005 was 944 mm (37.1 inches) and 644 mm (25.3 inches) on July 26 and 27, whereas Chennai was brought to its knees in 2015 with a cumulative November tally of 1 049 mm (41.2 inches).

According to an article published today by The Times of India, incessant rains since July 21 night have virtually cut off Mount Abu from Gujarat with the hill station plundered by as much as 2 794 mm (110 inches) in just 4 days.

While there has been no major casualty in Abu, Internet broadband connectivity of BSNL and other private telecom operators has been badly hit. Vodafone and Airtel have managed to partially restore the services but BSNL services remained hampered. Though the highway from Abu Road to Mount Abu is clear for traffic, vehicles are moving at a snail's pace and have been asked to exercise caution due to possibilities of landslides and rocks falling from a height. All schools and colleges have been closed as per the order of collector as a precautionary measure.

At least 12 people have been killed across the state between July 24 and early July 26.

The same weather system brought extreme amounts of rain to the neighboring state of Gujarat. In Ahmedabad, Gujarat's main city, more than 10 000 were evacuated to higher ground. 350 villages had been waterlogged, hitting cotton and groundnut crops.

Between July 24 and early July 26, at least 83 people have been killed in the state, bringing the death toll in the two states to 95.

Major flood damage in Western Norway

Large rainfall leads to flooding in Reed in Gloppen municipality in Sogn og Fjordane and several other places in southern Norway.Photo: 

Major flood damage in Western Norway

The storm that hit several places in Norway in night before Monday continues into Tuesday. 50 evacuated in Utvik in Sogn og Fjordane do not know when they will be able to return home.

 

– The critical phase is over, but there is still high water flow in the rivers in Utvik, says CEO in the West Police District, Odd Arve Solvåg, to NTB.

Several places in Nordfjord in Sogn og Fjordane are hard hit by the rainy weather that started Sunday evening. The showers will continue for several days to come.

– The worst is over, and it becomes ever-decreasing activity by the powerful showers, reassures meteorologist Mariann Foss at the Meteorological Institute.

Utvik isolated – dry in Innvik

In Sogn og Fjordane three places are particularly affected: Sandane and Breim in Gloppen municipality and Utvik in Stryn municipality.

At the measuring station in Stryn it was recorded 15 millimeters in just one hour late Monday. The rainshowers are local, so although Utvik is isolated, there is very little rain 8 kilometers further North, in Innvik.

– The largest rainfall may have come in places without metering stations, according to Foss.

Both rivers that flow through Utvik went over their banks. Thus, the centre of Utvik was completely isolated on Monday, and both electrical power and drinking water were cut off. There are major material damage, but no persons have been injured.

The police inform NTB that 50 people, both tourists and residents, have been evacuated and are waiting for the Norwegian Water Authority’s (NVE) evaluation of the injury level before the evacuees are allowed to return.

– I do not think it’s happening today, Solvåg tells NTB.

County road 60 remains closed at Utvik, two bridges have disappeared and Utvik is therefore without any road to the outside world. The Road Authorities estimate that the road access will be unavailable for one week.

The Civil Defense are assisting

In Breim, the fire department had to rescue two people from an isolated house, and the European Route 39 was closed for several hours with no available detours.

The civil defense moved out to assist the fire department and the police with evacuation and traffic safety in both Breim and Utvik.

– Now it’s all men to the pumps, says Operations Manager in West Police District, Kai Henning Myklebust, to NTB Monday morning.

8 cm rain in one day

Further east, in Gudbrandsdalen, the rain also created major problems. The European route 6 had to be closed for several hours because of a water magazine was about to flood the road.

– We had a lot of water in a short period of time, but it subsided and the water retreated quickly, says Operations Manager in the Inland Police District, Kjartan Waage, to NTB.

In Fåvang in Oppland, the Meteorological Institute recorded 28.3 millimeters in one hour, while Alvdal in Hedmark received 21.8 millimeters of rain in an hour. It hit Norway’s second highest highway hard, the mountain road leading to Tronfjellet in Alvdal. The top two kilometers of the road were washed away by the water mass, and locals estimate the damage to be in the millions, according to newscasters NRK.

The largest amount of precipitation was registered further north, on Venabu. There the meteorologists measured 76.8 millimeters of rainfall in 24 hours

Attention forecast

On Saturday, a notice was issued for five counties in western and central Norway. It is warned about heavy rain showers and danger of local floods. Monday afternoon there is still a Attention Warning for Sogn og Fjordane.

Meteorologist Mariann Foss says to NTB that the inhabitants of Stryn and Gloppen must be prepared for rain for several days to come. On Tuesday the thunderstorms will move onwards to Møre og Romsdal and Trøndelag.

Largest active US wildfire burns 250k acres in Montana

Cattle are seen near the flames of the Lodgepole Complex fire in Garfield County, Montana, U.S. July 21, 2017. 

Over 600 firefighters from 34 states have gathered in eastern Montana’s Garfield County to help stop the spread of what is now the largest active fire in the US.

On Tuesday, more than 600 firefighters began fighting the raging Lodgepole Complex fire that has destroyed 250,000 acres of range, brush and timber close to the Missouri River, according to the National Interagency Coordination Center, which gives logistical support for wildland firefighting. The fire has ravaged 22 structures, according to Reuters.

Montana Governor Steve Bullock (R) issued a state fire emergency executive order on Sunday for the wildfire that started last week after a lightning strike. Fortunately, the fire was growing Tuesday at slower rate than previously.

The Lodgepole Complex fire was 36 percent contained by Tuesday evening, and the Garfield County Evacuation Order for people living in the fire zone has been lifted, the Incident Information System reported.

Of the 45 active fires in the US, Lodgepole is the biggest. Relief supplies are being distributed and donated for those who have lost property or experienced any damage from the fire. Volunteers are also preparing food, gathering livestock and mending fences in an effort to help out.

Garfield County spokeswoman Anne Miller said that donations of hay, groceries and money are being sent into the small town of Jordan in Garfield County. "A house is considered a major loss, but the livelihood of most people here is the livestock, the pasture and grazing land," Reuters reported.

Public Information officer Mike Cole says that crews can’t directly attack the fire due to safety concerns, because it is not accessible by road. Managers are now focusing on a longer term strategy for containing the fire. Crews are currently working on the construction of a control line, which will serve as a barrier for homes and the national forest land.

Cole elaborated on the strategy in place to contain the wildfire.

“So once we have this control line in, we are not just going to stop and wait for the fire to come along. We’ll still be working this fire with helicopters and retardant if necessary. We’re going to go back in the forest and find some road systems that are open or we can open up,” he said, Montana Public Radio reported.

Cole said that the fire is expected to grow, but the smoke overhead and the light winds have kept it contained.

The weather forecast for the next several days is hot and dry until Wednesday when a front will approach and bring gusty winds and isolated thunderstorms to the area of the fire. A small amount of rain is also expected. The end of the week will be hot with no rain expected in the forecast, according to Montana National Public Radio.

Wildfires hit French Riviera, thousands evacuated

July 26, 2017

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/26/europe/france-wildfire-evacuation...

CNN)Parts of the French Riviera were evacuated late Tuesday and into Wednesday as forest fires burned swathes of land and threatened thousands of people, according to local police.

More than 10,000 residents and tourists were moved after a forest fire started near the coastal commune of Bormes-les-Mimosas, around 40 km (nearly 25 miles) from Toulon, one of the country's southernmost towns.

People evacuated from homes and campsites take refuge on the beach in Bormes-les-Mimosas.

Sunbathers lounging on a beach near Saint-Tropez looked on as a wildfire raged nearby. Children played in the sand, while others snapped pictures on their phones, as flames engulfed pine trees and sent plumes of black smoke billowing overhead.

A combination of strong winds, high temperatures, and a lack of rain have fueled the fires, which took hold in the French Riviera and on the island of Corsica, off the southern French coast. Similar conditions have sparked blazes in Portugal and Italy.

Over 100 firefighting operations have been launched since the blazes broke out, with planes flying over the Bormes area since early Wednesday morning, dropping water bombs on the wildfires.

Matthieu Dany, a 23-year-old French designer who has been coming to the area for vacations since he was a child, says he's never seen fires like this

"From our villa in the mountains we can see smoke everywhere. We can see homes burning," Dany told CNN. "I was on the beach earlier, but came back because the fires were getting worse."
"Almost everyone on the beach was looking to the hills, taking photos and videos of the fires," he added.

In Londes-les-Maures, fires began to burn just before 11 p.m. local time and, despite the dispatch of 540 firefighters, have not yet been brought under control.

In all, more than 4,000 firefighters and soldiers have been deployed to the region, France's Interior Ministry said in a statement.
President Emmanuel Macron shared his support for the firefighters battling blazes on Wednesday.
