28th July - Today's News: Record High Temperature in Moscow
Monday night was my warmest in over a year and with a minima of 18.7c the 4th warmest in my records (back to 2003). Last night was a tad better at 11.9c.
Still, daytime temps haven't been too bad, not like in the far east where Beijing is experiencing its longest heatwave in a decade whilst so far at least 66 die in Japan heatwave. Or indeed Russia where Muscovites have experienced their all-time heat record as drownings rise, bogs burn and a scientist says hundreds may die as smog blankets Moscow.
After 25 consecutive dry days in July, rain-free Vancouver close to city record
On Monday, Montana had its deadliest tornado since 1923
If Apophis misses in 2029/2036 (and even if it hits its too small to cause global damage) then there's always another potentially hazardous asteroid might collide with Earth in 2182 I probably won't be around then to see it though.
Converging weather patterns caused last winter's huge snows in US - maybe next winter it'll happen here? I do so want to see a snowdrift again before I die ....
Storm Elves and Sprites recorded on video
Asia's most devastating droughts reconstructed
Climategate datasets to be made public - which should at least shut a few people up! Whether they should have been readily available beforehand is another matter. In retrospect probably yes. Though I'm sure had they been so, certain people would simply have found some other way to make a nuisance of themselves in their tireless (and futile) attempt to discredit science.
Accepted theory explaining frequent eruptions at Italy's Stromboli volcano questioned
Dozens die in China bridge collapse amid flooding
Spacequakes rumble near Earth
And finally, the Chinese sum up the global weather situation as unbearably heat and cold hit northern, southern hemispheres
