Watch a massive cold spot grow and travel across the sun’s surface
From Earth, the sun looks small and calm. Up close, it’s anything but. Fortunately, NASA has an excellent view of the sun’s surface through its Solar Dynamics Observatory, equipped with three different devices for measuring the sun’s activity.
Between July 5 and July 11, that orbiter caught this incredible footage:
What you’re watching is a fast-growing tangle of magnetic fields on the sun’s surface. The spot looks dark because all the magnetic activity blocks some heat from rising to the sun’s surface — it’s about 2,300 degrees Kelvin cooler in the sunspot.
Sunspots are pretty common, although just how common they are changes over a cycle that lasts about 11 years. Right now, we’re approaching the low point of that cycle, which is why most of the sun’s surface looks so smooth. This sunspot is right about where the phenomenon most often occurs — in two strips on either side of the sun’s equator.
While they feel distant, sunspots can actually affect life here on Earth. They often lead to what’s called space weather, when the sun’s behavior sends streams of particles towards Earth that can cause auroras near the poles, tangle GPS signals, or even affect the power grid.


Air. Fire. Water. Earth. Our four elements. Since the beginning of the summer this year, 2017, these elements have driven home the message of climate change.
Air and water, let’s start there, with wind and flooding embodied in Hurricane Harvey, a cat 4 storm that slammed into Texas and made a loop back to Houston, where it dropped a total of 52 inches of rain.
Shortly afterward came Hurricane Irma, definitely an air event, with sustained winds of 185 mph for a record 36 hours. Irma hit Cuba with 155 mph winds, was supposed to hit the east coast of Florida, but stayed longer than expected over the northern coast of Cuba and made that turn later, sending it up Florida’s west coast. Eventually, it turned inland and struck Orlando as a cat 2 storm as well. The entire state of Florida was placed under a hurricane warning, prompting the largest evacuation in that state’s history.
Less than two weeks later, Hurricane Maria, another cat 5 storm, devastated Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Mexico City was struck by a 7.1 quake on September 19 – an earth event, for sure. And now, we have a fire event in northern California, where 22 wildfires are burning out of control.
“By Wednesday morning, at least 3,500 homes and businesses had been destroyed and nearly 170,000 acres burned, according to Daniel Berlant of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.” (Huffington Post)
So what does the Trump administration do with all this climate change evidence? On October 10, Scott Pruitt, head of the EPA and a climate change denier, released a proposal to eliminate the Clean Power Plan – “a set of Obama-era regulations aimed at slashing emissions from coal-fired power plants and boosting renewable energy production ― had yet to go into effect, after being temporarily blocked by the Supreme Court since February 2016.” This leaves the U.S. without any policy that addresses climate change.
The synchronicity, a sad trickster, is that Pruitt announced this in Hazard, Kentucky.

more haze in Singapore!
22 October 2010
Chance of Rain
High: 32 °C
20% chance of precipitation
Heat Index: 39 °C
all of the above is what we experience 365 days a year
and the PSI at 7.00am was 88
wow ..... yesterday it reached 108!
and why we have such polluted air at this time you may well ask?
it's all due to the illegal forest clearing fires in Indonesia's Sumatra Island that is sending haze across to Malaysia and Singapore. ... this happens every year as farmers on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra clear land by burning trees and bushes to make way to plant crops and raise cattle.
I am not going into the personal issues of why and why not here
as it is far too political and this is a very public blog!
the following are a couple of images
taken from our balcony at 2.30pm yesterday:
and this is the same view we usually experience:
and it is even clear at night:
scroll back and recheck the first images
am sure you can see there is a very big difference!
some of the articles and comments in the newspapers are:
AS HAZE blanketed the island yesterday and air quality deteriorated sharply into the unhealthy range, the Singapore Government urged Indonesia to act.
The Pollutant Standards Index (PSI), measured in three-hourly slots, hit 108 at 6pm yesterday - breaching the unhealthy threshold of 100 for the first time since 2006
Haze from forest fires in Sumatra has forced schools to close in Singapore and Malaysia, and prompted warnings from governments of both countries.
The Indonesian Environment Ministry acknowledges that forest fires in Sumatra are the cause of the haze and says it is investigating further.
This is not the first time Singapore and Malaysia have complained about the haze from fires burning in Indonesia.
In 2006 air pollution levels in Singapore touched record highs because of the smog.
They have not reached those figures this week yet, but are still alarming enough for the Singapore government to urge those with respiratory ailments and heart conditions to stay indoors.
In Malaysia, more than 200 schools have closed.
Haze from Indonesia brought Singapore's air pollution to it's worst level in four years yesterday!!
.... and the smoke is expected to remain in the air till at least Saturday, though the situation could worsen as fires continue to burn in parts of Sumatra being cleared by farmers and the prevailing winds blow more smoke this way. :-(
The Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hovered at 80 early this morning!
and as a friend wrote:
PSI - Please Stop Inhaling!
PSI 80 - Please stop inhaling 80% of the time!
Officials say they will press the
Indonesian government to take action.
I met up with some friends yesterday for lunch, they all came over to the West Coast and they all mentioned that the haze is much worse here than it is where they live. Be it Holland Village, Woodlands or the East Coast ..... so if you live else where on this little red dot and think that the haze is bad where you are, spare a thought for those that live in the West Coast area as we cough and sneeze our way through the Day!!

Overcast and 20 F at Juneau, Juneau International Airport, AK
Winds are Calm. The pressure is 1031.8 mb and the humidity is 92%. Last Updated on Feb 18 2018, 5:53 pm AKST.


The death toll in the region more than doubled in the last five days, despite heavy rains beginning to wane and water levels receding in some of the worst-affected areas.
Downpours and overflowing rivers over the past fortnight have swamped vast swathes of eastern India, where officials on Monday said 102 people had died in Bihar state.
At least 120 are missing and feared dead following severe floods and landslides in mostly mountainous Nepal, authorities said, while flash foods floods killed 23 people Pakistan last week.
Torrential rains in Bangladesh have killed more than 47 people in the last two weeks, with at least 700,000 others forced to flee their homes.
Rain-swollen rivers have broken through at least four embankments, submerging dozens of villages, in one of the worst floods to hit the country in years.
Heavy rains and overflowing rivers have swamped 23 districts in northern and northwestern Bangladesh, and five more are at the risk of being flooded as water levels in two rivers are still rising, the country’s Water Development Board said.
The government has opened more than 1,000 temporary shelters but many people are unable to reach them and authorities are struggling to deliver relief supplies to those who are marooned.
“We have enough relief materials but the main problem is to reach out to the people,” Foyez Ahmed, deputy commissioner of Bangladesh’s Bogra district, said. “We don’t have adequate transport facilities to move to the areas that are deep under water.”
Monsoon rains soak South Asia between June and October every year, often causing flooding, but the intensity of the deluge in Bangladesh is uncommon.
In India’s tea-growing state of Assam, close to the border of Bangladesh, severe flooding has displaced millions of people and killed more than 60.
Separately, at least 32 people were killed on Sunday in lightning strikes in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state in the north.
India’s weather office on Monday forecast “extremely heavy” rain in four of the 14 districts of the southern state of Kerala.
Kerala last year faced its worst floods in about a century, with heavy rain and landslides killing nearly 500 people, destroying houses and wiping out farmlands.
Monsoon rains, which deliver 75 per cent of India’s annual rain, have not been evenly distributed.
The Himalayan region has received substantially more rain than some of the areas in the plains, where there has been 60 per cent less rain than the average for previous years, according to the state-run India Meteorological Department.

A phenomenal space event is headed for us and it could hit Australia TONIGHT.
The southern lights, also known as aurora australis, are not often seen from the mainland, but today it could be possible.
Aurora australis is just like the northern lights that mainly occur around Sweden and Iceland, but it instead comes to the southern hemisphere.
It’s mostly visible from Antarctica, New Zealand and Tasmania, but those at the bottom of Victoria and South Australia may catch a glimpse as the lights move north.
Aurora australis is created when particles with lots of energy burst out of the sun, creating a solar wind.
A ball of amazing glowing lights is pulled towards earth. The solar wind is attracted to the North and South Poles and it creates a natural light display in the sky.


HGB: Latest Ozone Planning Activities
Last updated: 7/24/2014
Redesignation Substitute (RS) Report for the HGB One-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area
On July 22, 2014, the TCEQ submitted the RS Report for the HGB One-Hour Ozone Standard Nonattainment Area to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This report fulfills the EPA’s redesignation substitute requirements in its Implementation of the 2008 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone: State Implementation Plan Requirements; Proposed Rule (78 FR 34178) to lift anti-backsliding obligations for the revoked one-hour ozone NAAQS by ensuring that specific redesignation requirements are met for the HGB area under the revoked standard. According to EPA’s proposed 2008 ozone standard SIP requirements rule, this report is based on certain Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) redesignation criteria and includes: monitoring data showing attainment of the revoked one-hour ozone NAAQS; a showing that attainment was due to permanent and enforceable emissions reductions; and a demonstration that the area can maintain the standard through 2026 via emissions inventory trends and future emission projections.
- Redesignation Substitute Report
- Attachment A: Projection Factors for Point and Area Sources
- Attachment B: Characterization of Oil and Gas Production Equipment and Develop a Methodology to Estimate Statewide Emissions
- Attachment C: Condensate Tank Oil and Gas Activities
- Attachment D: MOVES2010b-Based On-Road Inventories in Support of the HGB Ozone Nonattainment Area Redesignation Substitute Analysis
- Attachment E: Development of Statewide Annual Emissions Inventory and Activity Data for Airports
- Attachment F: 2011 Texas Railroad Emission Inventory Report
- Attachment G: Development of 2011 Statewide Toxics and Actual Annual and Ozone Season Weekday Emissions Inventories for Commercial Marine Vessels
- Attachment H: Development of Texas Statewide Drilling Rigs Emissions Inventories for the Years 1990, 1993, 1996, and 1999 through 2040
- Attachment I: Development of Locomotive and Commercial Marine Emissions Inventory - 1990 to 2040
Emissions Inventory (EI) SIP Revision for the 2008 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard for the HGB and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Areas
On July 2, 2014, the commission adopted the EI SIP revision for the 2008 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard (Non-Rule Project No. 2013-016-SIP-NR). This SIP revision satisfies the FCAA, §172 and §182 requirements for the HGB and DFW nonattainment areas under the 2008 eight-hour ozone standard. The SIP revision includes 2011 emissions inventories for ozone precursors (volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides) from point, area, on-road mobile, non-road mobile, and biogenic emissions source categories as the base year emissions inventories for the HGB and DFW areas.
For additional information, please visit the Air Pollution from Ozone Web page.
HGB 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard Nonattainment Area MVEB Update SIP Revision
On April 23, 2013, the commission adopted the HGB 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard Nonattainment Area Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets (MVEB) Update State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision. This SIP revision updates the March 2010 HGB attainment demonstration and reasonable further progress (RFP) SIP revisions for the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard by replacing the on-road mobile source emissions inventories for nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) based on the EPA's MOBILE model with those based on the EPA’s Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) model. The 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2018 NOX and VOC MVEBs and the contingency analyses are also updated using the MOVES-based emissions inventories. Updated on-road inventories and emissions analysis based on the EPA’s August 30, 2012 vehicle miles traveled offset guidance and a modified version of the MOVES model, MOVES2010bROP, demonstrate compliance with Federal Clean Air Act requirements for transportation control measures in severe nonattainment areas. A review of emissions inventory data, photochemical modeling, and the quantitative and qualitative corroborative analyses used as weight of evidence in this SIP revision supports the March 2010 HGB attainment demonstration. This SIP revision meets the primary obligation of the mid-course review commitment in the March 2010 HGB attainment demonstration by demonstrating that the outstanding 3% contingency requirement is fulfilled.
HGB RACT Analysis Update SIP Revision Adopted December 7, 2011
On December 7, 2011, the commission adopted the HGB Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Analysis Update SIP Revision for the 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard to include Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) documents that were not addressed in the March 2010 HGB Attainment Demonstration SIP revision for the 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard. This SIP revision also incorporated CTG-related rulemaking for the HGB area (Project No. 2012-028-SIP-NR)
HGB Attainment Demonstration and Reasonable Further Progress SIP Revisions Adopted March 10, 2010
On March 10, 2010, the commission adopted two revisions to the Texas SIP for the HGB nonattainment area for the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard: the HGB Attainment Demonstration SIP Revision for the 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard and the HGB Reasonable Further Progress SIP Revision for the 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard. The commission also adopted associated rule projects revising 30 Texas Administrative Code, Chapters 101 and 115, which address cap integrity in the Mass Emissions Cap and Trade (MECT) program, a cap reduction and allowance reallocation for the Highly Reactive Volatile Organic Compounds (HRVOC) Emissions Cap and Trade (HECT) program, and an update to CTGs for VOC used in offset printing. (Project Nos. 2009-017-SIP-NR/2009-018-SIP-NR)

More torrential rain worsens Midwest flooding - 0 Comments
ST. LOUIS — More torrential rain worsened flooding in the Midwest, spawning high water that swept away an Iowa teenager, caused a traffic nightmare near one of the nation's busiest airports and threatened to swamp a Missouri town for the fifth time in less than a decade.
More than 3 inches of rain fell over much of eastern Iowa and northern Illinois Monday night and Tuesday morning, and some areas got up to 5 inches of rain, National Weather Service meteorologist Mark Fuchs said, capping a week of downpours in the region.

Areas in the heart of the storm, forward through tonight are in for heavy snowfall, 40- to 60-mph wind gusts, nasty cold, whiteouts and massive drifts.
Officials report there have been 1,800 crashes and disabled vehicles in Virginia alone as of the mid-afternoon Saturday. Three people have died in storm related incidents in the state. Portions of I-95 and I-495 have been closed.
Snowfall rates of up to 3 inches per hour will shift slowly northward from northern Maryland to southern New England through tonight with the strengthening storm, closing roads and stranding motorists.


To the relief of chemtrail conspiracy theorists, NASA’s plan to create red and blue-green coloured artificial clouds has been postponed. The clouds were expected to be visible for much of the East Coast of the US and surely would have left many scratching their heads.
It’s not the first time this experiment has been delayed, but it marks the end of the launch window which ran from May 31st through June 6th. Weather forecasts show that the conditions won’t be right in the next two days and the tentative date for launch is now June 11th.
The experiment requires specific weather conditions. On the day of launch, a two-stage Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket will carry ten canisters that will be deployed about five minutes after liftoff. The canisters will then create vividly coloured artificial clouds aka vapour tracers. NASA scientists will then visually track the subsequent particle motions to gain further understanding of the ionosphere. The space agency has ground cameras at the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia and in Duck, North Carolina. The sky must be clear at one of those locations for researchers to be able to gather data properly. Unfortunately, clouds interfered with the tests this morning, causing the postponement of the launch.
NASA is clear that this mission poses no danger to humans. The canisters would be released about 161km above the ground and they contain barium, strontium, and cupric-oxide. But just because the chemicals don’t pose a danger doesn’t mean the plummeting payload doesn’t. The scheduled launch on Saturday was canceled because of boats that were in the area where the payload was estimated to fall.
For anyone who wasn’t aware of this experiment, the postponement is just an opportunity. Assuming that all goes to plan, you’ll be able to watch the launch around 4 AM on June 11th. People on the East Coast “from New York to North Carolina,” will have a chance to see the colourful clouds in person according to NASA. For everyone else, a livestream will be available.


NWS: Tornado touches down near Wisner
The National Weather Service reported Wednesday afternoon that a tornado touched down near Wisner.
Damage was found at homes in Pilger, including that of Dennis and Julie Oswald.
The Oswalds said the tornado hit so fast that they didn't have time to get to their basement. Instead, they said they took cover inside a shed.
"We're goners," Julie Oswald remembers saying. "Let's pray. So we did."
Scared and huddled together, Julie and Dennis Oswald said it took 30 seconds for the tornado to level a large storage building.
"We started seeing lawn furniture flying and this shed exploded somewhat," Julie Oswald said.
The storm left metal siding hanging from trees and debris scattered all over their Pilger property.
"I thought I saw a funnel," Dennis Oswald said. "It was white."
The fierce winds also moved their home off its foundation.
Three years ago, the twin tornadoes surrounded their property. Knowing what tornadoes can do, the Oswalds said they realize things could have been much worse.
Neighbors who lost their homes nearly three years ago have been offering their help and support.


Cyclone Nivar hits the coast near Puducherry, rains lash Tirumala, Nellore and Kadapa
Cyclone Nivar has hit the coast near Puducherry at midnight on Wednesday and moving towards northern coastal region of Tamil Nadu and northwestern direction of Puducherry.
Cyclone Nivar has hit the coast near Puducherry at midnight on Wednesday and moving towards northern coastal region of Tamil Nadu and northwestern direction of Puducherry. This will have affect on northern Tamil Nadu, southern Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, Bangalore and Telangana. Moderate to heavy showers are possible in the North Coast. Similarly, Prakasam, Kadapa, Kurnool and Chittoor districts are likely to receive heavy rainfall.
In the wake of the cyclone, the local signal at Krishnapatnam, Nizampatnam and Machilipatnam ports given the third alert, while the distant warning signal at Visakhapatnam has given the second warning and the Kakinada Gangavaram port has given the fourth alert warning respectively. Extreme levels of flood danger were announced in atleast two places. It is announced that the cyclone would weaken by Thursday evening and turn into low pressure leading to moderate rainfall.
Meanwhile, cyclone Nivar is having a severe impact in Chittoor, Nellore and Kadapa districts. Heavy rainfall occurred in Tirumala due to the impact of 'Nivar' storm with landslides breaking on Ghat Road. TTD personnel responded immediately and cleared the landslide with the help of JCB. The rain water entered the Srivari temple due to the incessant rains with which the crew is pumping out the water with the help of motors.
On the other hand, Nellore, Tada, Sullurupeta, Naidupet, Gudur, Vakadu, Kota, Manubolu, Muthukur and Kavali are receiving torrential rains due to 'Nivar' cyclone in the district. Authorities cut off power supply in several places. Similarly the people of the flooded area were shifted to rehabilitation centers. 1600 ponds in the district are filled with water while the Somashila, Kandaleru reservoirs have released water heavily into the sea. Police are patroling the coastal and inland areas. 100 cyclone centers have been set up in Nellore districts. More than 5,000 personnel were involved in the cyclone relief efforts and toll free number - 1077 has been set up in Nellore collectorate.


The season’s first Santa Ana wind event was expected to last through Monday night, and it brought dangerous fire conditions to Southern California. Several small brush fires ignited Sunday across Los Angeles and Ventura counties, and a major fire erupted Monday in Riverside County.
High winds and low humidity increased the fire risk and brought the threat of preventive power shutoffs to almost 70,000 customers in L.A. and Ventura counties, according to Southern California Edison.
Most of the blazes that ignited Sunday — including in West Hills, North Hollywood, Wilmington, Santa Ana and Camarillo — appeared to be contained or under control by Monday morning, with none exceeding more than a couple of acres, fire officials said.
“Right now we’re fortunate we haven’t seen any larger fires,” Robbie Munroe said Monday morning. But the National Weather Service meterologist cautioned, “That’s something we could see on a day like today. With the strong winds and very dry conditions, rapid fire growth can occur.”
By late Monday, those concerns were realized in Riverside County, where a blaze dubbed the Highland fire ballooned to more than 1,200 acres near Aguanga, prompting evacuation orders.
But even with the historically dangerous offshore wind pattern, UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain said he expected any fire activity to remain more limited compared with prior years because of one key factor: moist fuels.
“The lack of exceptionally dry vegetation makes firefighting much more tractable,” Swain said at a virtual briefing Monday. “The fuels are providing a bit of impediment.”
This year’s unexpectedly wet weather — which included a record-setting snowpack and a summer tropical storm — has helped keep wildfires at bay across the state, Swain said, even when facing the latest warm, dry wind events.
“You can get extreme fire weather conditions from low humidity and strong winds, but if the vegetation isn’t dry enough to support extreme fire behavior, you often aren’t going to get it,” he said.
Santa Ana winds up to 70 mph blew into the region Sunday. At the Magic Mountain Truck Trail in the San Gabriel Mountains, the strongest gust was recorded at 104 mph early Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
A red flag warning — an alert for dangerous fire weather — was set to remain in effect through 10 p.m. Monday for much of L.A. and Ventura counties, with concerns of widespread wind gusts around 40 to 60 mph in the mountains, valleys and some coasts along the the Santa Ana wind corridor, and isolated gusts near 70 mph.
When gusts exceed 58 mph, Munroe said, downed trees and power lines become a major concern, as does road travel for high-profile vehicles. The city of Los Angeles remained under red flag parking restrictions, limiting street parking in designated areas to ensure emergency vehicles can quickly respond.
Winds were expected to be the strongest in the western San Fernando Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley.
High winds are also a concern through Tuesday in the Inland Empire, San Bernardino and Riverside county mountains, San Gorgonio Pass near Banning, the Santa Ana Mountains and inland Orange County.
“We are expecting the worst of the winds through this afternoon, especially early afternoon,” Munroe said Monday morning. “Then we should be on a downward trend this afternoon and evening.”
Thousands in Ventura County were either already without power or imminently threatened to lose power, due to public safety power shutoffs during the wind event, according to the county’s online emergency dashboard.
Southern California Edison said about 2,000 customers in San Bernardino were without power due to the safety shutoffs, as well as about 500 in L.A. and Ventura counties, and thousands more were under alert for possible shutoffs.
A freeze warning was also issued for Tuesday morning for the Antelope Valley.
Swain says he is increasingly confident that this year will remain a relatively calm fire year, given that high fuel moisture. But he said that’s no indication of California’s future. The state is likely to continue experiencing a type of climate whiplash in the face of global warming — with extremely dry years followed by exceptionally wet seasons.
“Inevitably, the pendulum is going to swing back the other way,” Swain said. “Unfortunately, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 — these terrible fire years — I don’t think those were an anomaly or a blip. … We will be back there a few years from now, and we could be in a worse place at some point in the future.”


The first snowfall of the year always comes as a bit of a surprise, especially when it happens in August.
Snow began to fall in Alberta's Rocky Mountains Friday, as well as in several areas of western and southern Alberta.
The folks at Lake Louise ski resort shared photos as snow fell at the summit:
Here today, gone tomorrow. Check out our live webcam of a snowy summitAugust 21, 2015
... while several people in the town of Cadomin, situated in the foothills about 300 kilometres west of Edmonton, shared photos of a light skiff of snow:
There were even some snowflakes spotted in Calgary:
Temperatures across the province plummeted:
A special weather statement was issued for Calgary and areas to the north and east, calling for continued rainfall into Friday evening.
Snow in Alberta today. Tell me again why everyone is jumping ship and moving there???— Jamie Luscombe (@DaNerdling) August 21, 2015
Driving to get away from wildfires on the BC border, but apparently towards snow in Alberta. Actually considering turning back around.— Blisimo (@blisimo) August 21, 2015
While the end of summer is still a month away, it's not uncommon for Alberta to see snow in August and early September. Last year, ski hills reported near whiteout conditions the first week of September.
And let's not forget about SNOWTEMBER.
The good news, however, is that Environment Canada is calling for temperatures to return to seasonal by Sunday — meaning the snow won't stay and we still have some summer to cling to.
EARLIER ON HUFFPOST:


What's the weather like in Florida in September?
The location of Florida in the southeast of the United States close to the Tropic of Cancer means the state has a stunning climate that gives it the nickname of the ‘Sunshine State’. September’s perhaps the last of the true summer months, when you'll get temperatures still pushing the mercury over 30º. Things don't really cool down too much over ‘winter’ though.
The peninsula Florida sits on splits the North Atlantic Ocean in the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, and the state’s climate is subtropical in the north and tropical to the south. This means temperatures are high all year round, while the weather’s generally kept quite stable because there’s so much surrounding water. Rainfall’s most common over summer, although this will often fall in brief, heavy downpours or thunderstorms that quickly clear.
In iconic Miami the average high’s 31ºC in September, which only drops to a balmy 25ºC at night so you'll still be nice and warm. The sea temperature’s also warm at 29ºC, which is great for swimming, while humidity’s very high.

The winter storm warning for the area will remain in effect until 6 p.m. Thursday night.
Canceled flights are listed on a screen at Logan International Airport in Boston as winter storm conditions begin during the early morning on February 9, 2017.
Another 1 to 3 inches of snow is in store for Boston by Saturday afternoon after over a foot of snow buried the city on Thursday.
The city's Emergency Management Department also issued a hazardous travel advisory.
In New Jersey, state police responded to almost 200 vehicle crashes from midnight to before noon.
At one point on Thursday, more than 40 million people were under some sort of winter weather watch or warning.
The snow is expected to start around midnight and last through early Thursday, beginning as rain, changing to a wintry mix and then becoming snow.
Thursday morning's commute may be snow-covered, with parts of DE seeing up to 6 inches of snow, according to the latest forecast by the National Weather Service.
Officials warned residents to avoid morning travel as heavy snow can make roads slick and unsafe.
March 1888: A four-day blizzard brought 21 inches of snow, and the aftermath of it was disastrous - it killed more than 200 people. The three NY area airports - LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy and Newark Liberty - saw hundreds of flights halted and delayed.
The good news is that the storm is expected to move out quickly. Blizzard warnings have been issued for coastal southeastern MA, including the Cape and Islands, and winter storm warnings have been posted for the remainder of the state.
Video Exposes Planned Parenthood's Abortion Quotas
While the threat of violence is always there, Planned Parenthood now has another very real risk to deal with - a political one. Planned Parenthood clinics have been accused of making fraudulent Medicaid claims and health code violations.
Temperatures will be highest in the morning, peaking in the mid-20s or lower 30s.
"We are now experiencing the worst of the storm", Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement.
Transit officials will monitor public transportation conditions throughout the day and more than 3,000 staffers are ready to shovel and plow. "So persons in the warning area are strongly advised to stay indoors". Boston canceled school on Friday, too.
CT canceled most court activities on Thursday.
The storm was expected to pack a punch, but it's not a nor'easter.
This storm is moving from west to east, from land out to sea, so it can't be classified as a nor'easter.
The region did have a nor'easter on January 24.
The storm crippled travel by ground and air, with conditions deteriorating rapidly as the rate of snowfall increased over the course of the morning.
New Yorkers will experience a bit of "weather whiplash".
Forecasters expect more than a 30-degree swing in 12 hours, as temperatures will fall to freezing or below in time for the heavy snow.

Philippines braces for super typhoon
Authorities in the Philippines have evacuated more areas as the country braces itself for Super Typhoon Mangkhut.
An estimated 5.2 million people in the path of the powerful storm, locally known as Ompong, have been asked to stay indoors.
It’s expected to strike the northernmost tip of the Philippines early on Saturday, carrying wind speeds of up to 205 kph.
More than 9,000 people have been moved to temporary shelters as Mangkhut makes its way towards the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela.
Mangkhut has already torn through Guam and the Marshall Islands in the Pacific, causing widespread flooding and power loss.


The New Year has lastly arrived, and 2021 kicks off with a pleasant gentle present for these prepared to go exterior within the early morning hours on Sunday to see the Quadrantid meteor shower.
The Quadrantids aren’t almost as effectively often known as theor , however they’ve the potential to be one of the strongest showers of the yr.
The problem is that these capturing stars and brilliant fireballs danger getting washed out by the intense moon that will not be far off its full section Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Also, the height of the Quadrantids is sort of slim, with a window of just some hours reasonably than a couple of days like different showers.
But with a bit planning, you may be capable to catch the show, which has been recognized to supply over 100 meteors per hour, together with a good quantity of brilliant fireballs.
The International Meteor Organization predicts that the Quadrantids will formally peak within the hour earlier than dawn on the Pacific coast of a lot of North America, or a couple of hours after the solar is up on the East Coast. However, such predictions aren’t at all times correct, so your finest wager is just to enterprise out someday within the hours between about 2 a.m. and dawn on Sunday.

You’ll need to keep away from gentle air pollution as a lot as potential and discover a place to look at with good climate, a broad view of the sky and the flexibility to orient your gaze away from the intense moon as a lot as you may. Keep in thoughts that the present is usually higher within the northern hemisphere, the place you are in all probability going to need to bundle up to courageous winter temperatures in most areas.
The Quadrantids will appear to emanate from the area of the sky close to Polaris, the North Star, however will zip throughout all elements of the sky.
This is as a result of what’s actually occurring is that Earth is drifting by a cloud of particles tied to the asteroid 2003EH1, which could have as soon as been a comet. While the origins of these meteors is likely to be considerably mysterious, they’ll nonetheless be colliding with our ambiance and burning up in spectacular trend.
Enjoy the first huge evening sky present of 2021!


This is the official blog for Bryan Norcross, Hurricane Specialist at The Weather Channel.
By: Bryan Norcross , 11:44 AM GMT on August 26, 2012
Isaac is behaving as expected so far today. Bands of increasingly windy squalls will move across the Keys and southeast Florida through the day. The storm surge against the Keys will peak in the late afternoon when the center come over or near Key West. The tide will be near high tide then, so the water will rise in the areas that were flooded by Hurricane Georges in 1998. Perhaps not to the same level, but be ready. Heed all emergency advice.
Waves of squalls with some winds to 60 mph or more will also move over the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale metro area. The best advice is to stay inside until the storm passes.
Luckily, Isaac will only slowly organize, so no surprises in intensity are expected.
The storm surge questions remain for the west coast. The NHC has lowered their maximum estimate for southwest Florida to 4-6 feet... still extremely threatening to anyone near the water. The 3-5 foot estimate remains for areas in and around Tampa Bay. The severity of the surge in these areas will be highly dependent on timing. If the peak surge comes at high tide, it will be significant and dangerous. The question of the surge being enhanced by a shelf wave is also still open. Heed emergency advice along the west coast!
There is no obvious reason why Isaac shouldn't strengthen once it gets into the Gulf. How much it strengthens depends a bit on the exact track. If it tracks just west of the coastal shelf, the water gets very deep so that cooler water can be churned up by the storm. Over the shelf or farther off into one of the warm pools and the cooling effect won't occur. In any case, the central northern Gulf coast should be thinking about a Category 3 hurricane under the theory that you always prepare for one category higher than forecast, knowing that intensity-forecasting skill is not high.
The track spread in the models continues from last night.
See you later today on The Weather Channel.

Bangkok: As many as 64,108 people were hospitalised because of haze in Thailand’s northern provinces, while more patients are expected as a result of the air pollution, the media reported.
Suraphan Sangsawang, acting director of the Regional Health Promotion Centre, 10 Chiang Mai, said reports from 90 hospitals in the area showed that the number of patients with coronary artery and respiratory diseases has increased dramatically as the region’s haze worsened last week, The Nation reported.
Suraphan said Chiang Mai had the highest number of patients at 17,359, followed by Chiang Rai at 11,779 and Lampang at 10,228.
The volume of particulate matter with a maximum diameter of 10 microns (PM10) rose on Monday above the safe level of 120 micrograms per cubic metre in many northern provinces.
According to the Pollution Control Department, the three districts with the highest PM10 levels were Chiang Rai’s Mae Sai (276 micrograms), Lampang’s Mae Mo (213 micrograms) and Payao’s Mueng (188 micrograms).
Haze is an annual problem in northern Thailand, where wildfires and fires set by farmers burning fields after harvests choke the air with smoke.


In the United States, people fight snow masses.
Winter hits New York hard. According to the National Weather Service, about two meters of snow fell on the town of Orchard Park, south of Buffalo, on Sunday morning (local time). At times, more than 15 centimeters of snow fell per hour in some places, the New York Times reported.
According to initial estimates, a new record for the most snowfall in 24 hours could have been broken. “Something like this has never happened before,” Kathy Hochul said at a press conference on Saturday afternoon (local time).
The governor of New York had already declared a state of emergency in some regions on Thursday. On Saturday, Hochul appealed to US President Joe Biden for federal help to provide additional support to affected communities.
Driving ban and flight cancellation
The storm led to road closures, driving bans and dozens of flight cancellations at Buffalo International Airport, according to CNN. The American Football League (NFL) moved a game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cleveland Browns to Detroit on short notice.
Two people died of heart problems while clearing snow in Erie County, County Commissioner Mark Poloncarz wrote on Twitter. In addition to New York, authorities and meteorologists had also warned of the particularly dangerous storm in the US states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In Indiana, west of New York, the driver of a snowplow vehicle was in a fatal accident on Friday.
The lake effect is to blame
One of the reasons for the arrival of winter is the “Lake Effect”. Extremely cold air sweeps across the Great Lakes, a group of five contiguous freshwater lakes in the northern US, whose water is considerably warmer. Moisture rises, is carried by the air current, and then snows in narrow bands of precipitation over the land on the southeast side of the lakes.
According to the forecast, the snowfall should weaken at the beginning of the week. Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, the American harvest festival. Along with Christmas, the holiday is one of the biggest family celebrations in the US – travel volume is particularly high at this time. (SDA)


Christie declares state of emergency
A fierce winter storm, expected to drop up to two feet of snow on South Jersey, has also brought Gov. Chris Christie back to the state.
The Republican presidential hopeful, who previously said he could monitor the potential blizzard from New Hampshire, left the campaign trail Friday afternoon.
Hours later, the first flakes fell in a nor'easter that could close roads, cut power and create white-out conditions, according to the National Weather Service.
“I’m sorry, NH but I gotta go home,” Christie said in a tweet shortly after noon Friday.
“I want to make sure the people of my state feel safe and secure,” he added in a second tweet.
The governor met with Cabinet members at a “winter storm briefing” in Newark, then announced shortly after 8 p.m. he had declared a state of emergency. Christie urged residents to stay off the roads and urged those who must drive to go slowly "and please keep your distance from the salt trucks."
The Weather Service on Friday issued a blizzard warning for the tri-county area through Sunday morning; it declared a winter storm warning for other parts of South Jersey.
The agency's forecast called for 18 to 24 inches of snow in the tri-county area, up from a previous prediction of 12 to 18 inches. Winds were expected to range from 22 to 29 mph Saturday, with gusts up to 44 mph.
"Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities are likely," said the agency, which said the storm was likely to hit peak intensity during the day Saturday.
It said snow clinging to wires and trees could cause “numerous power outages,” while roads could become impassable “due to increasing snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour in heavier bands.”
"Shoveling of wet, heavy snow will be problematic for those with physical ailments,” the agency said.
The first flakes were reported falling around 4:30 p.m. Friday in Fortescue on the Delaware Bay, according to a Cumberland County spokeswoman. That area was expected to see 10 to 16 inches of snow, spokeswoman Kim Wood said.
The storm's impact was felt well in advance, with Philadelphia International Airport and Cape May-Lewes Ferry canceling all service Saturday.
The PATCO Hi-Speedline expects to run "at our scheduled 25- and 30-minute (intervals) throughout the weekend, but (we) are preparing adjustments to the departures times because of the need to run at lower speeds," said John Rink, the transit line's general manager.
Among other measures, PATCO workers were salting and brining station parking lots Friday, while snow-removal equipment was "primed and ready for use," Rink said.
"We have also prepared our 'ice train,' which will deposit de-icing fluid on our third rail," he said. Rink said PATCO will run a snow schedule with 10-minute intervals during the morning and evening rush hours on Monday.
Among other storm-related shutdowns, Camden County said its library system would close for the weekend. It said Camden County College, the Cooper River Boathouse and the Cooper River Ice Rink would be shut "for the duration of the storm event."
Rutgers University-Camden canceled Saturday classes, while Rowan University in Glassboro called off athletic events. Rowan College at Burlington County and Stockton University said they would not open Saturday and Sunday.
The icy outlook also overwhelmed plans for Winter Fest activities in Haddonfield's business district. Initially set for Saturday, the event now is to occur Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.

WILLMAR - As the saying goes, winter arrived late but in earnest.
Law enforcement agencies in the area responded to numerous reports of vehicles in ditches and accidents Wednesday as a winter storm delivered a triple punch of ice, snow and strong winds.
“Terrible’’ is how Montevideo Police Chief Adam Christopher described road conditions after he completed a trip Wednesday from Willmar to Montevideo on state Highways 23 and 7. One of the area’s worst stretches of roadway proved to be highway 7 east of Montevideo, where a number of vehicles were pulled from the ditch and one two-vehicle crash occurred.
Three people were injured in a crash Wednesday on U.S. Highway 71 near County Road 3 by the former Svea schoolhouse in Kandiyohi County. Kandiyohi County Sheriff Dan Hartog said icy roads and strong winds were a factor in a number of accidents around the county. The area south of Willmar appeared to experience the greater number of reports, but problems were widespread. The State Patrol reported a two-vehicle crash without injuries near Hawick at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
“True winter driving conditions,’’said Sheriff Hartog of the situation in Kandiyohi County. He urged motorists to slow down and use caution, and to make sure they turn their headlights on. He encountered a number of vehicles failing to do so despite wind-whipped snows that reduced visibility.
Blowing snow and whiteout conditions made travel dangerous in portions of Renville County as well. By late afternoon, the Sheriff’s Office was urging no unnecessary travel due to the conditions.
The low-pressure system that delivered the storm sent a wave of rain through the region at the start of the day. Temperatures dropped below freezing around mid-morning, turning the rain into snow and glazing the slush-covered roads with an icy coating. Winds that gusted up to 30 miles per hour in some open areas caused near white-out conditions in some locations.
The greatest snowfall amounts were reported to the west. Dawson measured somewhere between 8 and 10 inches. As of late afternoon Wednesday, Dawson Police Chief Andy Stock said no major accidents had been reported, but there were cars in ditches and at least one semi-trailer rig had jackknifed east of town.
The Dawson-Boyd, Lac qui Parle Valley and Canby school districts cancelled classes before the start of the day. The Montevideo, Yellow Medicine East, MACCRAY and BOLD school districts were among those sending students home early.
Superintendent Luther Heller said the Montevideo Schools began the day two hours late. As the morning progressed, the rain was replaced by snow squalls. Concerns about visibility as the winds picked up led to the decision to send students home right after lunch was served.
Most evening activities throughout the region were canceled.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation had spread salt in anticipation of the storm, but the heavy rains that arrived as the day began washed much of it away, said Mandi Lighthizer-Schmidt, communications coordinator for the District 8 office in Willmar.
She said snowplows were out throughout the day, and would continue to work the area highways until 10:30 p.m. They were going to return to the roads at 3 a.m. to clear them for the Thursday morning commute.

A low pressure system was centered over the Illinois/Indiana border early on the morning of May 11th and was moving towards the east. A seconday low began to form over eastern North Carolina during the late afternoon on the 11th and eventually absorbed the other low pressure becoming the dominant low. This low began its movement up the Mid-Atlantic coastline late on the 11th into the 12th. Early on the morning of the 12th the low was centered over the southern Delmarva with yet another low forming offshore. With the two lows in close proximity, a strong northeast wind developed and persisted through the evening of the 12th. The prolonged northeast flow combined with higher than normal tides caused tidal flooding in New Jersey and Delaware. There was limited moisture inland from the center of the system but an abundance of moisture was ushered into southern Delaware and Eastern Maryland. By Monday evening the coastal low began moving towards the southeast away from the region, bringing an end to the gusty winds and tidal problems.
A Flood Watch was issued at 337 AM EDT on the 11th and was in effect from late Sunday night until Monday afternoon. The watch was for Cecil County in Maryland; New Castle County in Delaware; and Chester, Delaware and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania. The Flood Watch was cancelled for all counties at 931 AM EDT on the 12th.
A Coastal Flood Advisory was issued at 515 AM EDT on the 11th. The advisory was in effect from Midnight EDT on the 11th through 500 AM EDT on the 12th for Inland Sussex County and the Delaware beaches in Delaware; Middlesex, Eastern and Western Monmouth, Ocean, Atalntic, Cape May and Southeastern Burlington counties in New Jersey and including the back bays. A Coastal Flood Watch was issued at the same time and was in effect from Monday afternoon through late Monday night. The Coastal Flood Advisory was upgraded to a Coastal Flood Warning at 334 PM EDT on the 11th and was in effect from Midnight EDT on the 11th through 800 AM EDT on the 13th. At this time a Coastal Flood Warning was also issued for New Castle and Kent counties in Delaware; Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Cumberland, and Northwestern Burlington counties in New Jersey and Delaware and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania and in effect for Midnight EDT on the 11th through 800 AM EDT on the 13th. Also, a Coastal Flood Advisory was issued for Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot and Caroline counties in Maryland, in effect for Midnight EDT on the 11th through 800 AM EDT on the 13th. The Coastal Flood Advisory was cancelled at 415 PM EDT on the 12th. The Coastal Flood Warning was allowed to expire at 800 AM EDT on the 13th.
A Wind Advisory was issued at 906 PM on the 11th for Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware; Talbot and Caroline counties in Maryland; and Atlantic, Cumberland, Cape May and Southeastern Burlington counties in New Jersey. The Advisory was in effect from the time of issuance through 400 PM EDT on the 12th. At this time a Wind Advisory was also issued for Middlesex, Momouth, and Ocean counties in New Jersery, in effect from 400 AM EDT through 400 PM EDT on the 12th. At 554 AM EDT on the 12th, a Wind Advisory was issued for New Castle County in Delaware; Queen Anne's County in Maryland; Somerset, Mercer, Salem, Gloucester, Camden, and Northwestern Burlington counties in New Jersey; and Delaware and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, in effect from time of issuance until 400 PM EDT on the 12th. At this time the Wind Advisory was cancelled for Sussex County in Delaware and Talbot County in Maryland. At 935 AM on the 12th a Wind Advisory was re-issued for Sussex County in Delaware and in effect from time of issuance until 400 PM EDT on the 12th. At 1025 AM EDT on the 12th, the Wind Advisory was upgraded to a High Wind Warning for Sussex County in Delaware; and Atlantic and Cape May counties in New Jersey. At 355 PM EDT on the 12th, the High Wind Warning was downgraded to a Wind Advisory and in effect until 800 PM EDT on the 12th. The Advisory also remained in effect for the coastal regions of Ocean County in New Jersey. At this time the Wind Advisory was cancelled for New Castle and Kent counties in Delaware; Queen Anne's and Caroline counties in Maryland; Somerset, Middlesex, Monmouth, Mercer, Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, Ocean and Cumberland Counties in New Jersey; and Delaware and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania. The remaining Wind Advisory was cancelled at 805 PM EDT on the 12th.
Precipitation was not quite as robust in most areas receiving less than 1.0 inch with locally higher amounts southeast of the I-95 corridor. However, rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches were seen across Southern Delaware and Southeastern Maryland.
Several reports of wind damage were reported in New Jersey and Delaware. Trees and powers lines were reported down across the area as well as damages to several homes and cars.

This was an interesting system as it will probably be remembered as the Mother's Day Storm 2008.
The most significant result of this system was a Coast Guard rescue off the coast of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. A research vessel was damaged and began taking on water early on the morning of the 12th. The 2 crewmen had to be rescued and taken to the hospital, where one was later decared deceased.
Heavy rain combined with high astronomical tides caused several roads to close in Southern New Jersey and Delaware. Some major impacts from the flooding were:
Evacuations took place in Kitts Hummock, Bowers Beach and Woodland Beach in Kent County, Delaware due to coastal and road flooding.
The Indian River Inlet Bridge on Del 1 in Sussex County, Delaware was closed due to flooding.
Del 9 was closed at the Reedy Point Bridge in New Castle County, Delaware.
Coastal Flooding in New Jersey was comparable to the October 2006 floods.
Beach erosion in Delaware and New Jersey due to the high surf has also been attributed to this storm.
A limited State of Emergency was declared in Cape May County, New Jersey due to high winds and coastal flooding and was in effect from 200 PM EDT May 12th through 1000 AM EDT May 13th.

From Saturday evening until Sunday morning, earthlings are waiting for a spectacular spectacle of a cosmic scale: under condition of cloudless weather in different regions of the world, it will be possible to observe the combustion of up to 150 meteors per hour due to the upcoming maximum of the brightest Perseid meteor shower.
“The most active phase will last from 17.00 Moscow time on August 12 to 5.30 Moscow time on August 13. At this time, under ideal conditions in the sky it will be possible to see a fall of 2-3 meteors per minute”, – follows from the calendar of meteor showers of the International Meteor Organization (IMO).
At the same time, as astrophysicist Sergey Lamzin, deputy director of the State Astronomical Institute named after Sternberg (SAI) of Moscow State University, specified, it is always difficult to predict the exact number of visible meteors due to the unpredictable influence of the planets on the Perseids. According to him, observers in 2017 can wait for a particularly colorful, and no different in the number and brightness of the flow.
“Unfortunately, this is actually an unpredictable phenomenon, there have been cases when experts predicted an extremely abundant meteor shower, but in fact it looked normal, and there were situations exactly the opposite: the fact is that it is still very difficult to take into account the influence of others Planets into the orbits of meteor particles, “Lamzin said.
The peak of the most popular star of the year
“Starry rain” from the constellation Perseus spills to Earth during the period from July 17 to August 24 and reaches its maximum in the night from 11 to 13 August: that’s when you can admire the most popular and brightest star of the year in all its glory. Meteor streams are spilled annually, because the orbits of the Earth and the stream have an invariable area of intersection with each other. Perseid activity is unstable from year to year: the activity of bursts weakens as the distance between the comet and the Earth increases.
In ordinary years the meteor shower is relatively remote from the Earth’s orbit and is located outside it. Periodic convergence of cometary tracks with the Earth is accompanied by an increase in the activity of Perseids. The last time this happened in 2004 and 2009. The next bursts of flow activity are expected in 2028, the Moscow Planetarium says.

For the second year in a row, the EPA's data shows that the largest greenhouse gas polluter in the nation in 2011 was the Scherer power plant in Juliette. The plant, owned by Atlanta-based Southern Co., reported releasing more than 22 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, in 2011. Heat-trapping gases from U.S. power plants fell 4.6 percent in 2011 from the previous year as plants burned less coal, the biggest source of greenhouse gas pollution, according to a new government report.

Weather: 70mph gales bring chaos to air, roads and ferries
Ferocious winds and heavy rain have caused massive disruption to travellers in Northern Ireland.
Commuters returning to work today faced gusts of up to 70mph, while ferries were cancelled this morning.
Roads were closed in Dungannon, Omagh, Cookstown, Co Fermanagh, Tandragee, Loughgall, Armagh, Keady and Newry last night due to fallen trees.
Five flights from England due to land at Belfast City George Best Airport last night were diverted to Belfast International. One flight had to return to Birmingham.
“We're taking diversions as the wind plays havoc with operations,” a spokesman for Belfast International wrote on Twitter.
Four sailings of StenaLines’ Belfast-to-Cairnryan car ferry service were cancelled yesterday, as well as two early this morning.
Sailings to Liverpool were also cancelled or delayed.
P&O Ferries suspended all sailings between Larne and Cairnryan last night.
The company said they would resume today, but added: “Passengers however should be aware that if weather front tracks slower than predicted then sailings may not resume until later.”
Both companies advised passengers to check their information lines for updates: 087 0575 5755 for StenaLine or 084 5832 8888 for P&O.
In Londonderry, the Foyle Bridge was closed to high-sided vehicles and a 30mph speed limit introduced for all other vehicles.
Earlier, a weather warning of gale force winds issued by the Met Office was extended into today.
But the outlook for the weekend is much brighter with sunny spells and highs of seven degrees.
In the Republic, Met Eireann last night warned of heavy and prolonged showers in western and northern counties, with some thundery downpours and possibly spot-flooding in places.
A red alert was issued, with severe gales predicted in Wexford, Galway, Mayo, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Waterford today and tomorrow. With high seas, the Republic is also facing the threat of coastal floods.
While disruption has been largely minimal in Northern Ireland over the last few days, people in Britain have not been as fortunate.
The south of England has been worst affected with more than 1,000 homes flooded and 12,500 properties without power. Many experienced a miserable Christmas Day and festive period as flood waters tore through homes after rivers burst their banks.
Parts of Hampshire, Kent, Surrey and Sussex were all badly affected, with thousands of people forced to spend Christmas out of their homes as heavy rain and 70mph winds battered the area.
Rivers remained swollen yesterday evening and further wind and rain are expected to hit already saturated areas today as a new storm rolls in off the Atlantic today. Some strong gusts of wind going up to 90mph are expected this morning.
Five people died earlier this week in England as commuters attempted to travel home for Christmas.

Why Female-Named Hurricanes Are More Deadly
Female-named hurricanes kill more than male hurricanes because people don't respect them, study finds
"People don't take hurricanes as seriously if they have a feminine name and the consequences are deadly, finds a new groundbreaking study."
The reasoning for hurricane names and their history (keep suggestions to yourself)
"With the approach of the June 1-November 30 hurricane season, don't waste time emailing the National Hurricane Center (NHC) pleading for your favorite person's name to be added to this year's list of storm names."


Lonnie Quinn has the Tri-State Area's latest forecast on CBS2 News.
- You promised it. Here it is.
- Oh, look at that.
LONNIE QUINN: Yeah, look, isn't that a gorgeous view of our town? Look at that right there. That's what you got outside, guys. That's what it looks like. I can't mess with a camera shot. That's it. So you've got raindrops out there. Temperature comes in at 45 degrees. Winds are northeast, but they're pretty light right now at 6 miles per hour. That's going to change as we get into your day tomorrow.
47 was the high temperature, so officially 3 degrees off the mark from where you should be. But look at how uniform the temperatures have been all day. They didn't really move at all. 44 was the low, and 47 is your high. But look, they're kind of flip-flopped, right? 44 at 2:29 in the afternoon, low temperature. 47 the high, just about 9 o'clock this morning.
Let's move forward, though, and talk about what to expect because we are still on track for this washout of a day to continue. We're going to pick up over an inch of rain for just about everybody. We are not-- notice the asterisk, the double asterisk. That's a point I'm really trying to make. We are not on track for a big snow event.
I think anybody could see a trace to an inch, OK? That's about it. Friday is not about the snow. Friday is all about cold and windy conditions. The winds kick in again. There's wind chills. I'll show you all of that.
And if you're wondering about spring, spring will start Saturday morning-- Saturday morning about 5:30. I think it's 5:37 in the morning. At that point in time, the temperature is going to be below freezing. It'll be 30 degrees in New York City. Plenty of you will be in the 20s. So you're kicking off spring. You're feeling like winter.
And if you look at the amount of rain we picked up so far, the numbers are basically about a half an inch for folks. 0.92, the biggest number for Andover. 0.08, they had a dry slot over Belmar for a bit. But look, Toms River, about a half an inch as well.
If you look at what we're currently getting, we're getting some light rain, except for the area, northern portions of Dutchess County. Some very heavy rain there. That's pushing into the Berkshires. Everybody else, it's pretty light up there. There's a couple little blips of some moderately heavy rain. That could pick up a bit as we get into the nighttime hours, and I'll show you why.
Big picture shows you a pretty decent band right here around Roanoke, Virginia. And that could cycle into the area. So remember, this low pressure system right here, this is pushing off to the east. But as it moves, it circulates like this. So it could drive that into our area. So just know, you keep your rain chances in as you go through the late night hours.
And it could even turn over to a little bit of snow. But I really want to emphasize again, a little bit of snow. Watch this. Here's how the computer models are handling everything. This is 11:00 PM. So batch of heavy rain is possible south of New York City. Big break for some other folks, but again, those could easily be flip-flopped. Just know it's a little spottier out there at 11:00 PM, but could be heavier.
Now we do start to see some of that rain transitioning to snow. Because remember, the cold air is coming in from the north. So this is where it's going to happen. And it could push a little farther to the south. Here's 3:00 AM in Manhattan. Throughout the five boroughs, we got a little bit of snow falling out there. It just doesn't really amount to too much of anything. We're talking a trace to 1 for anybody.
I talked about how the winds will be an issue tomorrow. Look at this. By the time you get to, say, Friday afternoon-- stop it right there, lunchtime-- winds are around 40 miles per hour as for the gusts. So that's going to give you some wind chills that are cold out there.
40 degrees. Will be feeling like you never get out of the 30s tomorrow. Saturday, 51. You're kicking off springtime at 5:37, but 51 is the high for Saturday, not a springtime temp. More like it on Sunday at 56 degrees. And then we're off and running, around 60 degrees for Monday all the way through Thursday of next week. That's the seven day. It's all yours.
- Happy spring, Lonnie.
- Happy spring to you too, Mo.

NANCHANG, April 3 (Xinhua) -- The death toll resulting from hailstorms and severe convective weather that has been affecting east China's Jiangxi Province since Sunday has risen to seven, local authorities said on Wednesday.
As of 10 a.m. Wednesday, 54 counties in nine cities, including the provincial capital of Nanchang, had been hit by the weather disaster, with 93,000 people affected, according to statistics from the Jiangxi provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters.
The severe weather has resulted in damage to 5,700 hectares of crops, while 12 households suffered collapsed homes and another 80 households severely damaged homes. An immediate estimate of the direct economic losses caused by the disaster has reached 150 million yuan (about 21.1 million U.S. dollars).
Provincial headquarters launched a level-3 flood control emergency response at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, prompted by the risk of river flooding due to the severe weather.
The provincial meteorological department issued alerts aimed at warning the public to refrain from going outdoors while the weather persists, and to avoid entering culverts, underpasses and other stagnant water areas in case of heavy precipitation. ■

While most common in the Great Plains of the central United States, tornadoes have been reported in every state. They can destroy homes, uproot trees, and hurl objects through the air. Minimize stress and worry by planning ahead with these tips:


One of India’s no-frills airlines has expanded the range of masks available on board; in addition to one for oxygen, it will now give passengers masks to help cope with smog in the capital which recently hit toxic levels.
AirAsia India has started to hand out the anti-smog masks, free of charge, to those traveling to Delhi from large cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Kolkata. The air in the Indian capital is so toxic that deadly particles – known as PM 2.5 – can reach deep into the lungs, causing cancer.

Now, masks will help passengers to protect themselves from pollution even after the flight, the airline told the Times of India, saying the innovation is about giving passengers “the best in-flight experience.”
The campaign, however, is limited in scope as it is set to run until the end of November.
The low-cost airline isn’t the first company to seize on Delhi’s deteriorating air. Recently, “oxygen bars” have been spotted popping up across the city to help locals breathe more easily.

Customers pay between 299 and 499 rupees (around $4 to $7) for a 15-minute oxygen session, which features several fragrances such as orange, lavender, cinnamon, eucalyptus, lemongrass or peppermint.
The city’s staggering smog levels are blamed on an increase in road vehicles, construction, and industrial activity as well as the burning of rubbish and crops outside the capital.
Municipal authorities, struggling with tackling pollution, introduced the use of cleaner fuel, restricted traffic during certain hours, and closed some of the dirtiest power plants, but they seem to be losing the fight as the air quality keeps worsening.
Earlier in November, Delhi was flagged as the most polluted major city in the world with an air quality index (AQI) of 527, according to an Air Visual ranking. This year, the air quality has been described as exceptionally bad, soaring to levels more than 20 times what the UN-run World Health Organization considers safe.

This severe, slow-moving thunderstorm in northeast Wyoming was fascinating to watch. It was showing broad rotation, and was a prolific hail producer. I had to wait for the hail to move away from Highway 112 before I drove any further. Once I went north I found hail stones 2 inches wide which would have damaged my vehicle.

NW Slopes & Plains, New South Wales/ACT
Winter isn't over as yet! New South Wales just shivered through an unusually cold night.
The Federal Government decision to shut down the Barkly region weather radar station has led to a public meeting due to be held tomorrow at 5pm in Tennant Creek.
After the wettest June in 72 years of records at Cairns, July's monthly rain was slightly below average, recording 25mm compared to 178mm the month before.


In addition, a winter weather advisory is in effect for Cook County and areas to the north of Chicago until 6 a.m. Tuesday. ABC7 meteorologist Jerry Taft said the Chicago area could get 1-2 inches of snow.
Lake Shore Drive was shut down for a while due to multiple collisions Monday night. Problems were also reported on the Eisenhower Extension, just south of Elgin O'Hare, where there was another multiple car crash in Itasca.
Police were busy responding to crashes on nearly every highway. Both the city and state said they had full complements of salt trucks out.
"Shortly before 9 o'clock, we put orders out for a full group of trucks and plows and salt-spreading equipment in the north, northwest and west suburbs with half a group in the south and southwest suburbs. We are really seeing a mix of everything, the whole gamut from sleet and freezing rain to snow," said Guy Tridgell, IDOT spokesperson.
Illinois State Police sent out an advisory to warn drivers to take extreme caution on the roads. They said drivers should avoid any sudden braking or quick lane changes.
Also Monday night, emergency crews responded when a plane skidded off the runway at Executive Airport in Wheeling.
Overnight, a new winter storm slammed into parts of the upper Midwest, dumping snow at a rate of up to 3 inches an hour in some places.
Over a foot of snow fell across parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin, virtually closing the Minneapolis airport.
"I stepped outside and said a few prayers. Hope to get home. What else can you do?" said Ray Moore who was stranded in Minneapolis.
The heavy rain pushed many rivers over their banks including the Des Plaines River which flooded roadways in Des Plaines.
On Monday morning, some freezing temperatures and light freezing drizzle created treacherous driving conditions across the northern suburbs, leading to several accidents.
With more snow expected, many Chicagoans are ready for winter to be over.
"It's always been like this since I was a kid, you know. A couple weeks ago, there was snow up to here, and now we are starting all over again," Sherman Booker.
"Like anybody, I'm ready for warmer weather, and especially this icy stuff that's coming down," said Brian Meeks.
But for some, the snow is actually an opportunity to make a living.
"It's work. Anybody who has got work is lucky now, aren't they? So it is a positive for me," said Brian West.
This is the third snowiest February on record.
