So here we go with a new spell.
It starts early in the USA as is to be expected considering its part
in the spiral.
Extant from the last spell are the storms Gula, Gene and Fame. Nice
new graphic on this site by the way:
http://www.hurricanezone.net/
Pity they ditched the wind speed table. But it is only a click away.
Gula, on ther Seychelle's Ridge is 70 going on 75 knots, F1.
Gene, this too has followed a shallow, 60 to 65 knots at the moment.
This isn't an hurricane until it reaches 64 knots.
Fame, this is off the ridge where Gula is now and going south but only
a gale on the Beaufort scale and it's fading.
Today was another good day, actually we had a modicum of rain
yesterday not enough to wet the ground but the thought was there. So
the nett result is that today we are under the pucka High.
This belongs to the hight that left the North American mainland the
other day:
6.2 M. KEPULAUAN BARAT DAYA, INDONESIA.
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_big.php
Maybe.
It is 90- degrees from Maputo and Kodiak but the 120 degree arc
struggled to reach where the easternmost tip of the High was when the
western reach broke away.
Odd behaviour.
I wonder where all the other 6 Mags went to. |

That high in the high North Atlantic is unusual. I can't remember
seeing one mixing it where the Lows hang out.

Now that IS 120 degrees from the last 6 M. 'quake. |

So much fro the nice weather. Looks like a severe tropical storm or is
the dart board centred over n Scotland "it"?
OTOH with such a deep low (957 mb) the aftermath could be very severe
indeed. Conventional wisdomn has had an alert over this for a week.
Which didn't stop a lot of traffic getting hit first thing this
morning:

"China's worst snow storms in half a century have caused 54bn yuan
(£3.8bn) of damage, officials have announced.
Sixty people are now known to have died as a result of the severe
weather, which began three weeks ago.
Millions of travellers remain stranded as they try to get home for
next week's Lunar New Year holiday, with the army helping to clear
railways and roads.
Meanwhile, the authorities have ordered coal production to be
increased and imposed emergency price controls."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7221456.stm
Pressure on China comes from overstretched finances due to its huge
and rapid economic growth. It hasn't helped that coal mining safety
issues are about as bad as they get in the world and many coal mines
have been closed because of their poor safety record.
I wonder how much difficulty there would be if the nation had not been
using all its resources at the full rate of production. Perhaps
impossible to say even if the country wasn't the worst at publishing
facts about its economy. |

Funny how it gets warm before it snows in this part of Britain. I am
almost certain that there is a tropical storm of the SF 2 and up
variety involved in it.
Difficult to prove that though, as there is a dearth of material pre-
dating recent times -whence there is a dearth of snow. I suppose I
could always look up individual dates for super-storms, once I have
the dates for snow.
It was blustery all day -as has been for a few days now, here. Then
about 4 hours back it got warm and calm. Now here we are in a dusting
of the white stuff and the tropical storms have abated.
Coincidence?
We will see.
Personally I believe that a rather large earthquake is overdue. But
then, I would say that, wouldn't I?
There's a right spider's web here at the moment:

The trick is not to tell anyone. Then the world will collapse for your
victim with him blissfully unaware. I couldn't care less about the
fact you will never find out. But I shall live with it, as well as I
shall with the stigma.
The social impact of being ostracised by a flea is somewhat
daunt...erm...less. |

Interesting times in central Africa at the moment:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7224925.stm
I dropped the ball with that high in the western North Atlantic for a
moment and look what happens. Wonder if I can relocate it.
Meanwhile here is the time of phase for the last major 'quake in that
region: 1st December 2005 at 15:01.
Hmmm. Nothing there for me. Then I noticed this:
25 Oct 01:17; 2 Nov 01:25; 9 Nov 01:57; 16 Nov 00:58. All fairly
similar I suppose. Pity abut this one: 23 Nov 22:11.
The High is stationary at the moment over Greenland around 70 N 35W.
Which puts it some 85 degree from the epicentre.
(90 degrees is an arc that duns up the Davis Straight, from Hopedale
to Disko. (Was that once called Disco perchance?)) |

OK, the penny has finally dropped. With this spell, rather than
sloughing off the highs at the US/Atlantic, the air mass finds its way
up eastern Canada and I think (but can't say for sure) enters
Greenland.
From there it moves to Spitzbergen in the Arctic Ocean:
http://meteonet.nl/aktueel/brackall.htm
My problem is that I was not watching developments closely enough. I
had assumed that the behaviour was aberrant due to the likelihood of a
serious earthquake of 7M or more taking place after the closure of the
last series of spells.
Thinking about it now, Highs in the NW Atlantic at such latitudes must
be very common. They are after all part of the features of a "col". |

A peculiarity of this news feed is that it is all BBC news items.
Someone write and tell me that Firfox isn't in bed with Auty.
Another peculiarity is that the top 9 or so stories in the feed at the
moment are all US items. And one of them is about the tornadoes.
All the rest are about US politics or finance. Even the one UK
intruder is a banking scandal caused by the USA.
http://en-GB.fxfeeds.mozilla.com/en-GB/firefox/headlines.xml
So, not massive earthquake, little or no volcanic action and a mass of
super cells in the USA.. Makes the heavy showers we had yesterday look
irrelevant.
Except that the Met Office and other such agencies world wide have
been on the ball. And while their has been some shifting of High cells
to our longitude. The sum f all its parts in the UK was wet weather.
It's the last day for this spell I believe. But I think that the
tornadic stuff could go on for most of this month:
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/phase/phase2001gmt.html
These next three are all very similar:
7th Feb 03:44; 14th Feb 03:34; 21st Feb 03:31.
But Feb 29th brings no respite. In fact if I were to chosse the most
likely tornadic spell this one would be it: 02:18.
Back with an High scheduled for Mar 7th. But with my record, I don't
think I am going to score heavily there too, neither. This spell
(05:03) is remarkably similar to that one (17:14) following a
succession of similar phases and all.
Let's hope for a set of powerful tropical storms. |

Severe flooding caused by weeks of heavy rain is now known to have
left 48 people dead and some 40,000 families homeless, authorities in
Bolivia say.
Two rivers in one of the worst-hit provinces, Beni, have broken their
banks and are threatening to cut off the main city in the region,
Trinidad.
The government has declared a state of emergency and launched relief
efforts.
At least 47 people have been killed and dozens injured by violent
tornadoes in four southern US states.
The twisters hit Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky at the
end of a day of Super Tuesday nominating votes for November's
presidential election.
A huge fire erupted at a natural gas pumping station in Tennessee that
may have been damaged by the storms.
Both reports from the BBC. |
