13th August - Today's News: 'Blocked' Jetstream to Blame for 'Freak' Weather
'Blocked' jetstream to blame for freak weather in Russia and Pakistan - and indeed the cool wet summer parts of Britain have been experiencing
Some heavy showers and thunderstorms in parts of England yesterday (yeah, we missed them in Evesham as usual) leading to floods in Greater Manchester after heavy rain whilst heavy rain causes river Wyre in Lancashire to flood.
And to put that into perspective, two major peaks due in Indus river in Pakistan, the death toll from flash flooding in India rises to 185 whilst 24 more die in China's flood-hit north-west.
Fire close to Russian nuclear center grows
Geologists reconstruct Earth's climate belts between 460 and 445 million years ago
Arctic ricks offer new glimpse of primitive Earth
The US swelters as heatwave lengthens whilst NOAA's monthly report show July hotter and wetter than normal in US. It's so hot in Illinois that there are calls for an August 'snow day' for Chicago public schools.
Partly as a consequence of this, Lake Superior reaches record temp whilst in Europe, Bulgaria registers record high sea water temperatures as well, thanks to the Russian heatwave.
Extended solar minimum linked to changes in sun's conveyor belt
Sea level changes feel heat from below
Greenland ice drilling hits rock bottom
Neptune 'dead zones' hold more rocks than asteroid belt
Way back in the early days of the solar system Jupiter swallowed a super Earth
And there's no snow for Queensland as temperatures stay too high
