A new report by some Stanford climatologists paints a dismal picture for California's future, suggesting that our current drought is absolutely tied to human-caused climate warming, and that the frequency of these droughts will likely only increase over time.
As the Mercury-News reports, the new study looks at data from the past and present and shows the clear warming trend, and predicts that there will be, on average, more warm years that are coupled with years of lower precipitation, leading to drought conditions like we have now.
In the past, droughts occurred about one quarter of the time, as one scientist explains, with temperature and precipitation unrelated. High temps and little rain occurred just as often together as low temps and lots of rain, but that is no longer the case. We're now seeing more and more warm years, so when the precipitation cycle turns dry, we're screwed from here on out.
The report is published in the March 2 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. And looking at over 100 years of data, you see that "there were six droughts in past 20 years (1995-2014), compared to 14 droughts in the previous 98 years (1896-1994.)"
This unpleasant news arrives just as The State Water Project slightly boosted its 2015 allocations to two thirds of California's residents as well, as the Chronicle reports. They only gave water customers 5 percent of their usual allocation in 2014, and this year thanks to recent rains that will go up to 20 percent. Those customers include the Santa Clara Valley Water District and the Alameda County Water District.
And in related, horrible news, fisheries experts say that California's drought, coupled with a possible El Nino forming as the Pacific Ocean warms this season, could cause major problems for the current generation of Sacramento River king salmon. The Chronicle reports that the 2015/16 season will be a defining one after several dicey years, and an ocean that is now 3 to 5 degrees warmer than usual for this time of year.


Police in Scotland are warning people to stay off the roads as winds battering the country are expected to strengthen.
Gusts of up to 85 miles per hour (137 kph) have forced schools to shut and disrupted transport, canceling trains and forcing bridges to close.
Weather forecasters are predicting hurricane-strength winds of over 100 mph (160 kph) later Thursday afternoon.
Scottish Hydro said “thousands” of customers were without power, mostly in the west of Scotland. It says it expects the situation to “develop throughout the day” as the storm moves eastward.
The Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland says a wide area of the country will be affected and that “people could be putting themselves at considerable risk” by traveling in such weather conditions.

The vibrant magentas and bloody reds told the story before the jostling began.
Jack Parrish’s plane hurtled toward a circle of violent thunderstorms, where updrafts slingshot air into the atmosphere so fast and high that water droplets froze to hail, reflecting on radar in Kool-Aid-colored hues.
“We call them rings of fire,” said Parrish, a 36-year veteran flight director with NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters. “The reds and magentas, that is where the really bad happens.”
Download the Palm Beach Post WeatherPlus app here.
The day before the ring-of-fire flight into October’s Hurricane Matthew, the storm was a mild-mannered Category 1 that no one — computer or human — thought would deepen in the near term.
But within 24 hours, Matthew underwent a shockingly rapid intensification to a 165-mph Cat 5 cyclone that, despite heroic hurricane flights and advanced forecast models, was not predicted.
Even after months of review, the senior hurricane specialist who wrote a post mortem on Matthew calls the rapid intensification an “enigma” — a puzzle that concerns some storm experts, who fear a whittled-down budget for the landmark Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project will see further cuts under the current administration.
See the interactive Palm Beach Post storm tracking map here.
The project was launched with a $13 million budget after the historic hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005, but has since undergone reductions that shrank its budget to $4.8 million.
“There are things in the atmosphere that we still don’t understand, mysteries and variables that drive weather that we just don’t get,” said Dan Kottlowski, a hurricane expert with AccuWeather. “I am worried about government officials not understanding the problem. We as scientists have to keep putting the problem in front of them.”
For Parrish, focusing on the moment is how to keep the concerns about flying into a Category 4 or 5 hurricane at bay.
“It was a wild couple of days,” Parrish said about his flights into Hurricane Matthew. “We only do zero gravity once in a while, and it happened twice in Matthew.”
In Matthew’s post-storm assessment, National Hurricane Center senior storm specialist Stacy Stewart noted that its eye contracted to 6 miles from 34 while strengthening by an “extraordinary” 86 mph.

That happens when the air rushing skyward in circling thunderstorms speeds up, stretching the cylinder of the rotating cyclone vertically so that the diameter of the center shrinks. It’s like ice skaters going into spins. Their twirls quicken as they bring outstretched arms closer to their bodies and over their heads.
Parrish said he is most wary of rapidly intensifying storms on such missions. When a cyclone is deepening quickly, there is no easy way in or out of the eye.
“It’s hard every way,” he said. “We know it’s going to be kind of unpleasant.”
The smallest eye Parrish has been in was just three miles across. When it’s that small, there isn’t much time for data collection, he said.
“When they start to shrink up like that, there are a lot of updrafts and downdrafts and there is no easy way in. It’s hard in every way,” Parrish said.

In 2016, Hurricane Hunter Mike Holmes’ recalled his flight into 2015’s Hurricane Patricia, which in 24 hours deepened from a Category 1 storm to 207 mph.
He recalled his keyboard clapping up and down, which knocked out programs on his screen. A laptop jostled free of its storage and hurtled the length of the cabin like a missile. Crew members braced against a ricochet that tested limitations — human and machine alike.
Then, at 1:33 p.m. on Oct. 23, 2015, pilots penetrated the storm’s tightly wrapped core into an eye of blue. But it was 1 minute earlier that history was made.
Hurricane Patricia’s winds were measured at more than 200 mph. The Pacific Ocean hurricane was well beyond the magnitude of a Category 5 storm. It was the strongest, most intense, hurricane on record.
In just 24 hours, Patricia’s winds had ramped up from a modest Category 1 storm to 207 mph — a “remarkable” intensification no one had predicted, and a nightmare scenario for meteorologists entrusted with saving lives.

Governor Chris Christie has declared a State of Emergency in anticipation of the snow storm that is expected to bring high winds, heavy snow, mixed precipitation, storm surges and sub-zero temperatures throughout the state. A potential mixture of hazardous travel conditions, fallen trees and power outages and coastal, stream and river flooding beginning this evening.
Christie’s Executive Order authorizes the State Director of Emergency Management to activate and coordinate the preparation, response and recovery efforts for the storm with all county and municipal emergency operations and governmental agencies. Additionally, the governor authorized the closure of all non-essential state offices tomorrow, Friday, January 3rd.
“The impending weather conditions over the next several days will produce a variety of dangerous travel conditions throughout the state,” said Governor Christie. “I’ve authorized state officials to take all necessary action in advance of the storm, and my Administration will continue monitoring conditions throughout the remainder of the storm. I encourage all New Jerseyans to stay off the roads if possible so that our first responders and public safety officials can safely respond to any emergency situations.”


PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphians were shoveling for the first time in quite a while on Saturday, but nothing too heavy — just enough to coat the sidewalks. At least 22 flights to and from Philadelphia International Airport were canceled.
The first snowfall captured on Eyewitness News’ Skycam around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday outside of the main branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia was the beginning of a snow system moving through the Delaware Valley.
Over in Lower Saucon Township in Northampton County, heavy snowfall and slick roads made conditions difficult for drivers.
It was a similar scene on Route 309 in Coopersburg in Lehigh County.
All day drivers were urged to take extra caution after multiple accidents.
PennDOT temporarily reduced the speed limit to 45 mph on I-78 in Lehigh, Berks and Northampton Counties.
In North Philadephia, snow fell on Broad Street, near Butler and Erie Avenues.
While it was a headache for some, it was fun for others.

Many put on ice skates at Dilworth Park in Center City.
Snow switched to hail and freezing rain on Saturday afternoon in Darby.
There were mixed reactions on the wintery mix from commuters.
“I have to be careful and watch myself because of the ice. I think the ice is more of a danger than the actual snow, but other than that I’ve been mobile and able to move around,” one man said.
“The weather wasn’t too bad, it was pretty fair to me,” a woman said.
PennDOT crews have been treating the roads since Friday. They’ll continue until the end of the storm and the roads are clear of ice and snow.


It’s feeling more like January this weekend than it has most of the month. Rain is the main deal with this next event, before that, a passable first half of the weekend. Mainly sunny conditions seem a good bet Tuesday. A sprinkle or a snowflake may pass by Monday morning.

West Memphis is the largest city in Crittenden County, Arkansas, United population at the census, ranking it as the state's 18th largest city, behind Bella is part of the Memphis metropolitan area, and is located directly across the Mississippi River from Memphis, Tennessee. See a list of all of the Official Weather Advisories, Warnings, and Severe Weather Alerts for Memphis, TN. Laura and budding Marco may become 1st ever hurricane duo in Gulf of Mexico. See details.
That wasn't a questionable tornado. It was an EF2 that killed 3 people in Memphis, and was part of the deadliest tornado outbreak in two decades that killed 58 people in AR, TN, KY, AL, and MS. That said I've lived in MS for most of my life, and Memphis now, and have only seen one tornado crossing the just south of my town. Storms blow through West Tennessee, all watches and warnings now canceled. Rain, tornadoes, damaging wind and hail were in the forecast for the Mid-South region Saturday.
The tornado that plowed through Limon was one of the state's rarities, a tornado with wind speeds of more than mph. There were no deaths, but 14 people were injured and the storm caused. Outbreak produced the Candlestick Park tornado, which was an extremely violent F5 tornado or tornado family that killed 58 people and traveled mi ( km) across Mississippi and Alabama. It is one of the longest such paths on record and one of only four official F5 tornadoes to hit Mississippi.

Easter Monday washout sparks travel warning
Heavy rain could spark travel chaos for an estimated two million Brits making return journeys following the Easter weekend.
The RAC has said that more than 2 million journeys will be made on Easter Monday.
Meanwhile, the Met Office has warned of heavy showers during Monday evening in London and the South East, with clouds building throughout the day.
Up to 20mm-30mm of rainfall is expected to fall in some areas due to the heavy rain with the Met Office warning that the rainfall may impact bus and train services at times during the day with road flooding potentially increasing journey times.
Kathryn Chalk, meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “We’ll see further spells of heavy rain coming in, pushing its way northwards through Easter Monday.
“Probably a damp start, especially across Wales, central England and north-eastern parts as well with further heavy spells of rain here.
“Further towards the South, if we do see any clouds breaking up we could see heavy showers again in the afternoon.”
At the time of writing, 13 flood warnings were in place across the country and 110 flood alerts.
Guidance on the Met Office website encourages drivers to reduce their speeds, as rain can reduce visibility, and give themselves more time to brake on slippery road surfaces – suggesting a gap of at least four seconds between traffic.
The warning primarily concerns parts of south-west England, though some areas in south-east England and parts Wales – including its capital – can also expect rain. Affected regions include Portsmouth, Southampton, Bristol, Bath and Cardiff.
The lengthiest delays are expected to be between 10am and 12 noon, and drivers have been advised to wait until later in the day and travel in the evening.
The RAC predicted last week that due to Easter falling earlier this year, there could be more congestion on roads than usual. This is because the first bank holiday weekend of 2024 coincides with the two-week spring school holiday.
Some routes in the South of England are set for the worst delays on Easter Monday while those taking an Easter trip via the A303 from Ilmister to Andover could be spending twice as long on roads as normal with transport analyst INRIX saying the route could now take 2.6 hours.
Many rail links are not operating as usual on Easter Monday which could potentially drive more travellers on to the roads.
Avanti West Coast is set to be “severely impacted” by engineering work running from Friday 29 Mar to Monday 1 Apr. Avanti advises customers to travel on either of the Easter Break, but replacement buses will be available during some of its routes.
RAC spokesperson Alice Simpson advises travellers driving over Easter Monday to check their fuel, oil and coolant levels before making their journey, as well as their tyre pressure and warning lights.
Bob Pishue, a transportation analyst at the INRIX, advised drivers to adjust their departure so they are not travelling at peak hours. Stormy weather earlier in the week has already caused significant delays for people travelling to the UK.
People travelling via Dover on Friday were forced to queue for up to an hour due to stormy weather, courtesy of Storm Nelson and tighter security registrations.
Ahead of the weekend, it was estimated that more than 14 million people are set to take to Britain’s roads over the four-day break, with drivers told their planned journeys could take twice as long as usual amid what has been dubbed by the RAC as “carmageddon”.
Traffic queues stretched up to 20 miles were reported on the M4 and M5 interchange near Bristol on Friday – adding at least 45 minutes to journey times as many rushed to get away for Easter.


A major nor'easter, named Winter Storm Gail, is expected to hit the East Coast Wednesday into Thursday. Forecasts call for heavy snow, strong winds and some coastal flooding in parts of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. A mix of sleet and freezing rain could occur as far south as western North Carolina and western Virginia.
Based on forecasts, this may become one of the most impactful December storms the Northeast has seen in recent years. It's expected to impact tens of millions of people and some of the nation's most important supply chain hubs. Significant travel disruption and road closures are likely along with power outages. Most locations should see improving weather conditions by the second half of Thursday.

The Met Office has upgraded the storm warning for Friday (February 18) to Status Red for parts of southern England and Wales.
Red weather warnings are rarely issued by the Met Office; the last one coincided with Storm Arwen in November 2021, but the one before that was in March 2018.
With this, danger to life as a result of flying debris is to be expected, as well as damage to buildings and homes, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down; uprooted trees’ roads, bridges and railway lines closed, with delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights; power cuts affecting other services, i.e. mobile phone coverage; and large waves and beach material being thrown onto coastal roads, sea fronts and homes, including flooding of some coastal properties.
“The red warning area indicates a significant danger to life as extremely strong winds provide the potential for damage to structures and flying debris,” said Met Office chief meteorologist Frank Saunders
The areas on Status Red alert, on the southwesterly coast, include Penzance, extening easterly past Truro, through Bodmin, Holsworthy, around to parts of Bristol and covering Cardiff and Swansea in Wales.
Gusts could be in excess of 90m/h from 7:00a.m Friday morning to around midday.
“Although the most exposed coastal areas in the south and west could see gusts in excess of 90m/h, winds will remain notably strong further inland, with gusts of between 70-80m/h for most within the amber warning area," Saunders added.
The whole of the UK is being urged to prepare, i.e. secure garden furniture and bins, avoid parking near trees, and to remain cautious - especially if driving.
National Highways head of road safety Jeremy Philips said:
“We’re encouraging drivers to check the latest weather and travel conditions before setting off on journeys and consider if their journey is necessary and can be delayed until conditions improve. If you do intend to travel, then plan your trip and take extra care, allowing more time for your journey.
“In high winds, there’s a particular risk to lorries, caravans and motorbikes so we’d advise drivers of these vehicles to slow down.
“Drivers of other vehicles should be aware of sudden gusts of wind which can affect handling and braking, and give high-sided vehicles, caravans, and motorbikes plenty of space. In the event of persistent high winds we may need to close bridges to traffic for a period, so please be alert for warnings of closures and follow signed diversion routes.”


Storms produce damaging winds, widespread power outages, downed trees
Tuesday's storms produced dangerous winds that knocked out power to thousands and toppled trees in areas around central Mississippi.
A tornado warning was issued Tuesday afternoon for several counties, including the metro.
There were also trees down in areas of Rankin and Hinds counties. Hinds County sheriff's deputies responded to the Pocahontas area at Pinehaven and Kickapoo Roads after receiving reports of multiple trees down. There were also several reports of trees down in Clinton and in Terry.
Emergency officials in Yazoo and Warren counties said trees were down on some houses and were blocking some roadways.
Hinds County Sheriff's Office officials said there were also reports of flooding in the Presidential Hills neighborhood in Jackson.
Power lines were also down. Entergy reported 32,000 were without power in Hinds County and 11,000 in the dark in Madison County. At one point in Warren County, 9,000 were without power.
Some school districts, including Clinton and Madison County, waited to release students for the day until the storms passed.
There were no immediate reports of injuries from Tuesday's storms.

Videographer Chad Blakley shot his Feb 16 time-lapse sequence from Abisko National Park on the northern edge of Sweden, reported Reuters.
"I have spent countless nights out under the northern lights but I can say with 100 per cent certainty that the display that we witnessed last night was the most spectacular red corona I have ever had the pleasure of sharing with my guests," he said.
According to Reuters, Auroras occur when charged particles emitted by the sun during flare activity reach Earth's atmosphere and collide with its gases.
The most common colour, green, is produced by a collision of particles with oxygen molecules at an altitude of about 60 miles (97 km) above Earth.
At 200 miles (320 km), those molecules produce a rare, red aurora, while nitrogen produces blue lights.
Blakley, whose company, Lights Over Lapland, offers aurora photo expeditions to the park, says he hopes his footage will inspire interest from amateur photographers.


Formula 1 – where every second matters, especially weather matters
For the first time UBIMET attended the Formula 1 extravaganza around the world. Delivering actual and proper weather forecasts to each team via the web-portal “onTrack” was the duty of the specially trained meteorologists and technicians throughout the season. The exact weather information is an important aspect in several decision-making processes for the teams.
From Australia to Malaysia via Canada and back to Austria… UBIMET Meteorologist and Project Coordinator for Formula 1 Steffen Dietz was on the route for nearly eight months with his team to ensure the delivery of high quality weather forecasts on site and in real time.
Exact forecasts on the spotSupported remotely by several meteorologists located at UBIMETs headquarters in Vienna, who are analysing radar images, probability maps of forecasted rain thresholds and other data, the Team of UBIMET is aware of every change in weather conditions. “The high precision level of information, the forecasts and the observations made on-site, are available for every racing team at the same time”, explains Steffen Dietz.
Proper forecasts for controlling a chaotic process
Weather is chaotic and can change as rapidly as a Formula 1 car is driving: “It’s important for us as drivers, as well as for the whole racing team, to know how the weather conditions will change,” says Daniel Ricciardo, driver for Infiniti Red Bull Racing: ”it influences our race preparation, from driver kit we may use, to car set-up and race strategy. The weather is always important at all races, whether it’s from very hot races, like Malaysia, to dry races, like Abu Dhabi - to those that are more unpredictable.”Information about track temperature, rain probability, humidity and much more are essential to answer questions regarding the equipment of the driver, the possible extent of overheating of the motor or the right tire choice.While all the racing teams hope on the perfect weather conditions, which would be dry, partly cloudy and as calm as possible, UBIMET delivers the most detailed forecasts: “Based on our knowledge and exact data of weather stations located worldwide we inform each team, in detail and on time, about eventual weather changes”, says Steffen Dietz.

Further, the state government highlighted that there is a seasonal ban on fishing in sea up to June 14 due to breeding season.
The state governments were advised to effectively enforce this ban
According to the IMD, the cyclone's landfall over Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh is ruled out. However, the possibility of landfall in Odisha is under continuous watch.
Regular warnings have been issued since April 25 to fishermen not to venture into the sea and asking those at sea to return to the coast.
The IMD has been issuing three hourly bulletins with the latest forecast to all the states concerned. The Home Ministry is also in continuous touch with the state governments and the central agencies concerned, the statement said.

Runoff from the rain event on Thursday is working its way through the system leaving several waterfront communities still without access to their properties.
Water levels have been holding more or less steady for the last few hours. A definite peak has not yet been reached but can be expected today. Cooler temperatures overnight have slowed the runoff process. Temperatures of over 10 degrees forecast for today will cause much of the remaining snow and ice to melt and run off today which will keep levels up for the short term.
Once a definite decline of levels begins, Parks Canada staff will need to begin releasing water from the reservoir lakes upstream of Smiths Falls to relieve high levels on the lakes. Every effort will be made to keep the release close to the rate of decline on the Long Reach between Burritts Rapids and Manotick to avoid increasing water levels again in the communities first hit on Thursday.
Water levels on the Jock River rose through Friday causing some properties in and around Richmond to have access issues and their sump pumps running. Flooding in Ottawa South adjacent to and in Windsor Park and in Ottawa East in Brantwood Park has closed the streets and park pathway.
Weather forecasts call for 10 millimetres of rain on Tuesday and continued warm daytime temperatures. The warm temperatures will continue to take the frost out of the soil and melt the last stubborn snow and ice in sheltered areas. The rain is likely to slow the rate of recession of water levels for a brief time.
As with all of these messages, we want to emphasize the need for caution near the cold and, in some places, fast moving water. Parents need to make their children aware of the danger.
Conservation Authority staff will continue to monitor conditions and will issue updates as warranted.
RVCA Watershed Conditions Statements:
- Water Safety – High flows, unstable banks, melting ice or other factors that could be dangerous for recreational users such as anglers, canoeists, hikers, children, pets, etc. Flooding is not expected.
- Flood Outlook – Early notice of the potential for flooding based on weather forecasts, calling for heavy rain, snow melt, high winds or other conditions that could lead to high runoff, cause ice jams and/or lakeshore flooding or erosion.
- Flood Watch – Flooding is possible in specific watercourses or municipalities. Municipalities, emergency services and individuals in flood prone areas should prepare.
- Flood Warning – Flooding is imminent or already occurring in area watercourses.

On Friday, we were confident of a sunny weekend. Unfortunately, only part of that ended up being true. Saturday turned out quite nice, yet breezy, with clear, sun-filled skies. Sunday, however, was quite different with a cloudy start and rain began falling by mid-afternoon and hasn't stopped since. Just .23" was in the rain gauge as of this posting (8:30 pm CDT). Temperatures have been cool all day. Our high was just 60° at 1:30 and has fallen slowly since. We are currently at 52° and don't expect it to fall, if any, later. Monday will be mostly cloudy with a few light showers early and only around 67°. A slight chance of storms on Tuesday, increasing on Tuesday night with warmer temperatures. High around 72° during the day. The warming trend continues on Wednesday and Thursday as highs could top out around 74° and 77° respectively.

Over 1.8 lakh hectares of farm land, spread over 1,269 villages in 16 districts have been reported to be affected by hail and thunderstorm in the last few days. Chana, jowar and standing crops of vegetables have been hit. Since Saturday, districts in Marathwada and Vidarbha region have been reporting hailstorms. While the hailstorm was particularly intense over the weekend, parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada had reported thunderstorms from Monday.
Preliminary reports of the agriculture department showed that till February 13, data about crop losses due to hailstorm were being received from 16 districts. Barring Jalgaon, almost all the affected districts are from Marathwada and Vidarbha. Fresh incidents were reported from Gondia, Nagpur, Bhandara, Wardha and Gadchiroli. Chana is the main crop that stands to be affected most as it was almost ready for harvesting. The crop was planted in October-November. Depending on date of sowing, the crop is either ready for harvest or already harvested and stored.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a few places in Vidarbha would see light rains whereas dry and sunny weather prevailed over rest of Maharashtra. According to the latest IMD forecast, dry conditions will continue over the state till February 18. However, a rising trend most likely in minimum temperatures will make nights warmer than usual. Agriculture Minister Pandurang Fundkar has said that compensation would be given to farmers who suffered crop loss.

When water from water bodies such as flowing rivers and lakes, overflows in to the plain areas adjacent to the banks, then it is called a flood. A flood is caused by release of excess water from a reservoir through a dam, or through excess rains along the path of the river.
Storm is the combination of high speed winds, and continuous and heavy rains. It can be due to development of low pressure regions over the sea. The storms include also hails falling at a lot of speed, freezing cold, thunders and lightnings.
A storm is caused due to a disorder in the environment or ecosystem. Flood may be due to insufficient height or a breach in the banks along the rivers or lakes.

Indian authorities are preparing to evacuate 3,00000 people along the western coast as a severe cyclone is expected to make landfall on Thursday morning in the state of Gujarat.
Storm Vayu, which formed in the Arabian Sea, is likely to cross the Gujarat coast with gust speeds as high as 135 kilometre per hour (84 mph), the India Meteorological Department said in a statement.
It also warned the cyclone could further delay the progress of the annual monsoon rains over the rest of India, as the storm was drawing rain clouds from over the sea.

Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani told reporters he had asked for help from the military and the National Disaster Response Force for rescue and relief work in cases the storm causes large scale disruption.
Gujarat is also home to large refineries and sea ports that lie near the storm’s path, officials said.
A spokesman for Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd said it was preparing to move employees at two ports it runs in the state to safer areas.
“Our Mundra and Tuna ports will be closest to the path. The disaster management plan has been put into action and all the necessary precautions are being put in place including evacuation of staff if the need arises,” the spokesman said.
India’s biggest oil refinery, owned by Reliance Industries, is also based in Gujarat.
A Reliance executive said the cyclone is expected to weaken by the time it reaches the Jamnagar-based refinery.
“But in case the course changes or intensifies, the refinery is ready for any contingency,” the executive said, declining to be named because he was not authorised to speak to journalists.
Nayara Energy, which is controlled by Russia’s Rosneft and also operates a refinery near Reliance’s unit, said it was monitoring the situation and taking precautionary measures.

Cyclone Amphan is approaching the Bay of Bengal and is likely to be one of the biggest storms of the last ten years, according to meteorologists. Follow our special coverage of Coronavirus pandemic in India and get news updates from around the world. The Bangla word "Fani" means snake. After Amphan, the names of the three cyclones would be Nisarga (Bangladesh), Gati (India) and Nivar (Iran). The storm, which formed in the Bay of Bengal on Saturday, is likely to cross the Bangladesh coast within tomorrow night and Wednesday evening, according to a weather bulletin by BMD. The names are chosen from a list by a host of member countries part of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), a specialised agency within the UN's Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. With millions affected and over 80 dead, the cyclone battered an already suffering population from the COVID-19 lockdowns. Cyclone Amphan, the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane, was packing sustained winds of up to 170 kph (105 mph) with maximum gusts of 190 kph (118 mph) during its landfall. The region, with 58 million people in the two bordering countries, has some of the most vulnerable communities in South Asia. Cyclones that form in every ocean basin across the world are named by the regional specialised meteorological centres (RSMCs) and Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWCs). Cyclone Amphan: "Amphan" was the last name on the current list before a new one starts. Since "Amphan"-- the last name on the original list established in 2004 had remained unused -- it was selected to complete the previous list and move onto a new one, according to the IMD. It is likely to de-intensify to an extremely severe cyclonic storm when it makes a landfall. According to the US National Hurricane Center, landfall is “the intersection of the surface centre of a tropical cyclone with a coastline. Odisha Chief Secretary Asit Kumar Tripathy on Monday revealed that the State evacuated around 60,000 people as a precautionary measure. Cyclone Amphan, which is expected to hit Bengal on Wednesday, will weaken into an extremely severe cyclonic storm in the next six hours, the Met department has said. Limited period offer. Cyclonic storm "Roanu" that hit Bangladesh in May 2016 was named by Maldives. The biggest cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal in two decades with strong winds can do a large scale damage to road transport, essential goods transportation, electric poles, telephone poles, older houses, crops, etc., said IMD. Amphan made landfall near Bakkhali in West Bengal at 2:30 p.m. IST on 20 May,  buffeting the region with strong winds and heavy rains. And why are cyclones given names and who decides those?

End in sight: Louisville Metro road crews back on the roads after 11-day stretch
For the past 11 days, the Louisville Metro snow team has been working 12-hour shifts across 110 routes due to multiple rounds of wintry weather.
With another snow even blanketing Kentuckiana, the road crews are more than prepared. Their goal is simple: Keep the roads open and accessibility to those roads safe.
On Wednesday night, the crews geared up again for the third wave of winter weather in more than a week. Last week, the city was hit with an ice event.
The presence of the snow crews has also become a familiar sight across the metro.
And while the brunt of this latest storm is expected to hit south of Louisville, the metro is still forecast to get another 1 to 3 inches of fresh snow.
There's also good news: Temperatures are expected to rebound for the weekend without any chances of snow.
Check out the video above for a look at the latest efforts.


State transportation crews are treating roads across much of north Georgia in anticipation of possible snow Thursday afternoon.
Georgia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Natalie Dale said crews are treating interstates and state highways with brine in the northeastern and northwestern part of the state. The latest weather forecast calls for a wintry mix of snow and rain in parts of the state as temperatures drop this afternoon. The highest elevations could see two to three inches of snow accumulation.
Metro Atlanta should be spared that wintry mix. But Dale said crews will treat bridges and overpasses to prevent freezing overnight.
The winter weather comes less than two weeks after snowfall blanketed much of north Georgia on Feb. 8. GDOT Commissioner Russell McMurry told the State Transportation Board Thursday the department spread more than 1,500 tons of salt and 186,000 gallons of brine on 6,300 miles of roadway during that storm.
“No rest for the weary,” McMurry said as he described preparations for today’s weather.

For the municipal airport, situated just north of downtown, on the Missouri River, they held the 100 degree reading for 4 hours starting with the 1500 reading. The dew points ranged from 73 to 70. That's hot.
The high for Lee's Summit, MO airport was 97 and for Olathe, KS 98, both with dew points around 75. That's hot.
The forecast for tomorrow? Per the National Weather Service, a high of 99. Needless to say, an excessive heat warning is in effect, until 2100 CDT tomorrow.
Now, we will find out if August heat affects voting turnout like November rain.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Southern California was beginning to dry out from two days of virtually nonstop rain Sunday, although thousands of people remained without electricity in Los Angeles County and more rain is in the forecast over the next three days.
The powerful winter storm dumped 10.79 inches of rain on Woodland Hills through Sunday morning, 9.29 inches in La Canada Flintridge, 8.38 inches in Newhall, 8.11 inches in Pasadena, 6.88 inches in Burbank, 6.76 inches in Bel Air and 4.49 inches in downtown Los Angeles, according to the National Weather Service.
Mountain High received 93 inches of snow, and Mount Wilson got 40 inches.
Some highway and surface streets were flooded Saturday, and authorities advised people not to travel if they can avoid it. Skies were partially clear Sunday morning, but the NWS said travel in the mountain areas would "still be very `dicey' through the day."
The following highway closures were ongoing Sunday:
-- State Route 2 in the Angeles National Forest was closed from two miles north of I-210 to Vincent Gulch Road;
-- State Route 39 in the Angeles National Forest was closed at East Fork Road.
Several thousand people remained without electricity Sunday due to weather-related outages.
A Los Angeles Department of Water and Power worker was in intensive care after suffering an injury while working to restore power Saturday in the San Fernando Valley, the utility said Sunday.
"This accident and serious injury of our employee is a reminder that our line crews and other field personnel are truly unsung heroes who work in hazardous conditions risking their lives to keep the power flowing across our city," LADWP General Manager Martin Adams said.
The LADWP said 49,000 of its 1.5 million electric customers were still without power Sunday. Since the start of the storm Friday, crews had restored power to more than 98,000 customers.
The remaining outages were spread across LADWP's service area with some of the hardest hit communities being Glassell Park, Green Meadows, Hancock Park, Hollywood, Studio City, Chatsworth, Mission Hills, North Hollywood, Sun Valley, Tarzana, Van Nuys and Woodland Hills.
The time frame for crews to respond to an outage increased to 24-48 hours early Saturday, up from the previous 12-24 hours, when it became clear that continued wind and rain would result in additional outages even as crews continued to restore power.
Meanwhile, Southern California Edison's outage map showed 21 outages affecting more than 2,200 customers in Los Angeles County as of 4 p.m. Sunday, and five outages in Orange County affecting 665 customers.
Firefighters and paramedics performed the latest of several water rescues Sunday in a remote section of the Tujunga Wash in Sunland. Two people and a cat who were camping inside a vehicle in a remote section of the wash were rescued by helicopter after the area filled with storm water. The two people were being treated for hypothermia.
Los Angeles County health officials warned people to avoid going into the ocean near discharging storm drains, creeks and rivers until at least Wednesday due to the storms. The water might contain bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash and other health hazards.
Another storm system was expected to bring periods of rain and mountain snow to the Southland late Sunday through Wednesday. Gusty winds are possible for periods of time, especially Monday, before a warming and drying trend takes shape later in the week.
Scattered showers, isolated thunderstorms and some hail were expected Sunday afternoon and evening and early Monday, with the potential for minor urban flooding. For the first wave of the storm, NWS models suggested to 0.50 to 1 inch of rain across coastal and valley areas with 1 to 2 inches in the mountains.
The following two waves are predicted to be much lighter, forecasters said, with sunny skies returning on Thursday.
Temperatures continue to be well below normal. Daytime highs on Sunday were 54 degrees in downtown Los Angeles, 52 in North Hollywood, 51 in Pasadena and 49 in Valencia. Those numbers were expected to be roughly the same over the next few days.
Lows are mostly in the 30s, dropping to the 20s in some mountain areas and in the 40s in Orange County.
Snow levels Sunday morning were hovering in the 1,500-2,000 foot range, and were expected to increase slightly to the 2,000-3,000 foot range in the afternoon.
A winter weather advisory was in effect until 10 p.m. Wednesday in the mountains.
Winds were relatively light Sunday, but gusts were expected to reach 40 mph in the mountains and 45 mph in the Antelope Valley.
Knott's Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain reopened Sunday after both parks were closed Friday and Saturday.
This weekend was the first time downtown Los Angeles received at least 2 inches of rain on consecutive calendar days since Feb. 28 and March 1 of 1978, according to the NWS.
The weather service added that Friday was the wettest February day at Burbank Airport since records began there in 1939, beating the previous record of 4.50 inches set on Feb. 8, 1993.


Cyclonic Storm ‘Burevi’ set to landfall today evening or tonight near Trincomalee in Sri Lanka
The Cyclonic Storm ‘Burevi ’ is set to have its first landfall this evening or tonight near Trincomalee in Sri Lanka. According to weather bulletin, it is expected to move in west-southwest direction later and cross the southern Tamil Nadu coast between Kanyakumari and Pamban early in the morning on the 4th of this month as a Cyclonic Storm. While crossing, it is set to gain the wind speed of 70-80 gusting to 90 kmph.
When observed last, the Cyclone ‘Burevi ‘ has been moving north-westwards with a speed of 15 kmph and was centered at about 240 km east-southeast of Trincomalee, 470 km east-southeast of Pamban near Rameswaram and 650 km east-northeast of Kanyakumari.
It is very likely to intensify further during the next 12 hours. All the major water bodies in the southern districts in Tamil Nadu are continuously being monitored. The state revenue and disaster management minister RB Udhayakumar told reporters in Madurai, officials are ed to let off the fresh inflow of water when the lakes reach their full reservoir levels.
Meanwhile, fishermen keep themselves off the sea and have anchored their mechanized and country boats safely in view of the impending cyclone. The sea remains rough and the public are not to go near the seashores and rivers like Tamirabharani.


The annual Perseid meteor shower reached its peak this weekend, sending bright trails of light streaking across the night sky around the world.
With only a sliver of moon in the sky, conditions this year were ideal for seeing the light streaks.
Professor Richard de Grijs, an astronomy expert at Macquarie University, says the Perseid shower is not easy to spot from most parts of Australia.
"The Perseid meteor shower is usually best visible from the northern hemisphere, although we could be lucky enough down here and catch a glimpse in the pre-dawn hours," he told the ABC.
"If you're a bit further north — let's say, Brisbane or further north, across the country all the way out west too — and you're awake around 3am-ish, you might be in luck."
While last weekend was the best time to catch a glimpse, Professor de Grijs says "meteors associated with the Perseids could hit the Earth's atmosphere at any time between July and mid-September".
Meteor showers happen when the Earth moves through fields of debris floating around in space.
The Perseids — which occur every year in late winter — come from comet Swift-Tuttle, a big ball of ice and rock that sheds pieces of dusty debris as it orbits around the sun.
When the Earth passes by, those bits get caught in our atmosphere and burn up, creating the streaking lights.
The Perseids get their name from the constellation Perseus, because the meteors' paths appear to start out from this point in the sky.
Last week, stargazers in Melbourne were tricked into thinking they had unbelievable views of the meteor shower last week, however, a different explanation has since come to light.
The Australian Space Agency tweeted a more more likely cause for the steaks of light spotted in Melbourne's night sky — the remnants of a Russian rocket.
