*** WHAT'S WITH THE WEATHER? 31 DEGREES this Wednesday in TORONTO!! *** | |

RedlicoriceRedux  User ID: 12795372  Canada03/19/2012 11:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Weather's definitely been weird. I'm in Phoenix and normally our temps in March are in the mid-to-upper 80's. Due to the big jet stream dip over the weekend, we just had two days of cold rain and sleet, with temps barely going above 50ºF. Our north country got a ton of snow, too. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8769940 Very strange. We're supposed to get back to normal by Wednesday, though... Let's see if the sun activity settles down by Wednesday. |

Changing weather patterns preceded by huge wind storms, Remember the freak tornadoes not to long ago. Just chewing the cud, the sun doesn't look any higher than it should, does it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12786780 So ya 31 degress is only about 30 above normal. Has this heatwave been going on as long as the string of Solar Flares? My wife and I were just discussing this possibility.. Just before this heatwave we had snow squals with white out conditions(8-9days ago)which lasted for about 20 minutes an then as fast as it started it was clear and sunny with temps rising daily ever since. So we speculated that the solar flares altered the position of the jetstream which is allowing warm air from the south travel farther north... |

| Vermonster User ID: 8786725 United States03/19/2012 11:04 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I spoke with someone tonight who agreed that this weather was the literal definition of "unbelievable." Normally in March, they tap the maple trees at the end of the month. Well, this year, they tapped in the middle of February. We got virtually no snow, very little cold temperatures, and lots of rain and ice. Yesterday and today capped out in the 80's and, until the end of the week, it's forecasted to do the same. We're lucky to be in the 80's in JUNE, let alone March. We always get these surprise spring snowstorms, but I'm thinking we won't this year. And the sun has been so HOT. In an average year, when the sun shines in March, you still have that bitter chill in the air. This year, we're wearing t-shirts at night and most folks have donned shorts and tank tops during the day. A warm spell is normal, but this is unreal. |

It hit almost 90F today......and it isn't even spring yet. Our winter was EXTREMELY MILD. This summer is going to be EXTREMELY HOT. The weather all over the planet is acting up. For those who have been living under a rock.....starting in 2011, and getting worse and worse.....the weather ALL OVER the planet has been VERY unusual. Some say this is just the beginning. Personally, I think we are in for one hell of a ride. It isn't just the weather acting up, folks... I'm in Atlanta as well -Pollen count is record high -temp is record high -bees (carpenter, bumble, yellow jacket, wasps...) I have never seen so many ever... -everything seems to be running ahead at least a month either a scorching summer or a really early fall/winter time will tell |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 12805428 United States03/19/2012 11:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | lets think of the sun as a stove, on this stove is a pot of water... the sun goes through phases of more activity or less activity... sometimes the sun boils the pot over and that extra energy may be directed towards earth...because auroras are seen mainly at the poles, that would be a good indicator of where the "boiling over or energy" ends up at for the most part...now if there is a temperature imbalance, it usually leads to a pressure imbalance, and pressure imbalances create winds... perhaps the cme's are playing the most part, maybe this is known for a long timebut ignored for climate change scam...it must be ignored on purpose to try and scam people... |

Despite an increase in global temperatures, the UK experienced one of its coldest winters in the last 160 years, in 2009. Lack of normal solar activity results in a phenomenon called blocking, where jet streams over the Atlantic get lost in an anticyclone before reaching Europe. If lack of solar activity affects the jet stream, it stands to reason that higher than normal sun activity would also have an effect. High Solar Activity Depending on where the solar flux is and far it extends, it can reach Earth's upper atmosphere; the flux can cause the Earth's magnetic field to shift or warp. This shift in the magnetic field causes a subsequent shift in the jet stream. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have a direct effect on solar flux."

| IJumpInIt User ID: 11511435 United States03/19/2012 11:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Gulf Oil false flag has really screwed up the entire world. The jet stream got slowed down and that causes ripple effects. Quoting: Amy_A It was 80 degrees today in SC and all the flowers are blooming. The temp is a month off in my area. Peace to all I was wondering the same thing about how possibly this crazy weather has anything to do with the BP Oil spill from 2010. Upon looking for any info about the effect on the Gulf Stream I discovered it has in fact shut down (links at bottom). So now I wonder what kind of effect this might have on the Atlantic Conveyor Belt of water flow and the effects on our weather. First link - Thread: ALERT!!! GULF STREAM SHUTTING DOWN BECAUSE OF OIL SPILL!!! AND IT'S HAPPENING FAST!! Second link (from 2010) - [link to www.associazionegeofisica.it] Third link - [link to eddy.colorado.edu] - Select from under the heading "Gulf of Mexico Data" the "Near Real-Time Velocity Viewer" link On the "Near Real-Time Velocity Viewer" page, first see the 3rd-from-bottom picture from 9/1/2005 titled "Historical Mesoscale Altimetry". This was from before the BP spill. Then look at the next picture up - the 4th from bottom to see the same location picture except from 11/12/2011 titled "Realtime Mesoscale Altimetry". Notice the Gulf Stream not working as it used to. Thanks BP. Now for the question though - how would this affect the Atlantic Conveyor Belt ocean currents? Between the melt-off of ice and the BP-induced shutdown of the Gulf Stream, this would explain the cold winter in Europe, but not necessarialy the warmth of the eastern USA/CANADA. Thoughts anyone? .02  |

Despite an increase in global temperatures, the UK experienced one of its coldest winters in the last 160 years, in 2009. Lack of normal solar activity results in a phenomenon called blocking, where jet streams over the Atlantic get lost in an anticyclone before reaching Europe. If lack of solar activity affects the jet stream, it stands to reason that higher than normal sun activity would also have an effect. High Solar Activity Depending on where the solar flux is and far it extends, it can reach Earth's upper atmosphere; the flux can cause the Earth's magnetic field to shift or warp. This shift in the magnetic field causes a subsequent shift in the jet stream. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have a direct effect on solar flux."

There has been 7 CME's that have occurred over the last 14 days... That's quite a lot. There's a good chance the CME's altered atmospheric pressure and heat up the atmosphere a bit. I don't doubt that BP is responsible for the damages they have created though,... No jetstream, you say?.. What's weather like now, compared to before BP's GOM spill? i didn't say no jet stream i said "gulf current" which is in the water and affects europe more than the jet stream which is in the "air"... air can be heated faster than water but water affects temperatures to... it is warmer here than last year at this time...i hope there is no major volcanic activity, that may well be the thing no one is prepared for, the stage is almost set for it now... and you should hope it doesn't |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7334965 My wife and I were just discussing this possibility.. Just before this heatwave we had snow squals with white out conditions(8-9days ago)which lasted for about 20 minutes an then as fast as it started it was clear and sunny with temps rising daily ever since. So we speculated that the solar flares altered the position of the jetstream which is allowing warm air from the south travel farther north...

So maybe the Jet Stream is messed up due to the solar activity and the Atlantic Conveyor Belt is messed up by the BP-oil spill? Together this may explain the weird weather. |
