27th August - Today's News: Cup of Tea Saved Blacksmith From Tornado
When a tornado hit Great Livermere in Suffolk on Monday, a cup of tea saved my life (the blacksmith's life that is, not mine!). Meanwhile, picture and report of a nice funnel over Stanford le Hope in Essex from earlier this month, with a typically misleading headline.
There's an excellent discuss and site report on the Suffolk tornado on Ukweatherworld
Well, over 62mm of rain in the past 4 days here in Evesham, and with a maxima of just 14c yesterday was the coldest August day in my records. Although the overnight minima was 12.2c and therefore warmer than average ..... Anyway, no surprise to see that flooding hits South Wales after torrential rain
However, we had nothing compared with Ahaus in Germany which apparently had 153mm of rain yesterday (although the German media report suggests 115mm)
Having had a lean season so far, Australian ski resorts expect a rush after biggest dump in decades
Canada in track for mildest year ever
Death toll rises in northern Turkey landslide
A NASA/NOAA study finds that El Ninos are growing stronger - but is that causing global warming, caused by global warming, or unconnected at all? Significantly, lead author Tong Lee says "It is important to know if the increasing intensity and frequency of these central Pacific El Niños are due to natural variations in climate or to climate change caused by human-produced greenhouse gas emissions" - in other words we don't know. But I bet some of the ant-science mob think they do ....
Seems we not all going to die in 2012 (or whenever) after all; solar max claims overstated - yeah, I could have told you that!
Is it time to blame climate change for extreme weather? Er, no ....
Hurricane Danielle becomes category 4 - but continues to keep well out in the Atlantic
