1st September - Today's News: Record Hot Summer for Parts of USA, Japan, Arabia
Last day of summer yesterday (meteorologically speaking) and finally the sun has come out! It's ended up my coldest August on record though, mainly due to the lack of high daytime temps (and some rather cool days near the end of the month). Probably wettest too although records there only go back to 2007. August almost over and finally the sunshine arrives and across the country it was the coldest august for 17 years. So, a cool summer here (although overall warmer than 2007, 2008 and 2009!) but in the USA, Houston weathers its hottest month on record and this was New York's hottest summer too while across the NE the numbers confirm it: summer was a scorcher.
2010 summer 'hottest in 40 years' in the Arabian Gulf as well while Meteorological agency say Japan experienced hottest August since 1946
Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere, Perth runs dry as rain goes to Victoria in weirdest of winters
Over the weekend Hurricane Earl gains strength in eastern Caribbean and today Hurricane Earl churns towards US east coast - expected to arrive within a couple of days. Whether it makes landfall or just clips the coast remains to be seen.
Taiwan caught between two tropical storms
Swarms of marine turbines could 'tap the Gulf Stream' - or maybe not.
In Pakistan, flood spares Thatta as waters recede
Cold empties Bolivian rivers of fish - though exactly how culpable the cold weather actually was remains a moot point.
The Clovis Comet impact hypothesis loses its sparkle
New insights into pyrocumulonimbus clouds
Dramatic climate change is unpredictable - and "may be due to an accumulation of different chaotic influences". Slowly they're catching up ..... !
A change of opinion as climate 'sceptic' Bjorn Lomborg now believes global warming is one of the world's greatest threats.
21,000 people evacuated as Indonesian volcano continues to spew ash for miles around
South Sudan's Aweil region swamped by floods
Vancouver breaks all-time rainiest August day record
Animals point to ancient seaway in Antarctica - and the possibility that the WAIS totally collapsed during the Eemian interglacial (hence sea levels so much higher then)
