Last one of thr33 …
We've had a run of substantially similar phases:
Apr 14 12:29 Apr 21 18:20 Apr 28 12:18
http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/phase/phases2001.html
Now we have a datum to go by for anomalies in them:
The weather forecasts on the TV this morning are predicting some misty weather ansd later in the week some rain.
The last time the spell(s) hit normality, there was a fairly large earthquake, an attempted tropical storm and some pretty nasty tornadic stuff in the USA.
There is thus more due.
Points to look for besides minor/temporary changes in your weather locally are a gap of about 12 hours in the times between significant earthquakes world wide and of course the changes expected in Low systems in the North Atlantic chart.
If the MetO is on the ball and the weather goes to what it should be -as it did a few days back, then the culprit is storms, the quake will be a result of the divergence, I presume.
Re Tornadoes.There are always going to be reports of them from now on till high summer and then a few more till the season peters out.This is the link to watch out for them on:http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wwa/Better take advantage of the breathing spell that that chart shows. It won't last. Good luck all.
Oh; hang on. This is a new spell and things are going on as they aught to. I take it nothing untoward is happening over in Iceland. There's little chance of finding out until next week.which reminds me, I owe a previous blog a comment from the Smithsonian archive.Anyway, no tropical storms reported nor expected by the look of things.
According to the Met Office we had an exceptionally warm day today. I woke up to a damp overcast with wet pavement. Not all that warm and not sultry either.No major quakes and nothing more than a 7 hour lapse in the list. No tornadoes and… ah, forgot to look for tropical storms…Back soon.
There is no way tat anyone in their right minds would mistake this spell for either of its predecessors.OTOH there are no massive queues waiting for planes to fall out of the skies for them. And there are no massive oil well explosions. There have been no lapses in seismic activity either; ditto so far for storms.In short were the snail on the thorn and god in his heaven…Wait they are, he is…Unless you live in Louisiana.Bathed in oil, we see what happens when investment bankers work hand in hand with big oil.Oddly these rednecked christians never seem to make the link between ruining the planet and the demands put on society by god himself.Maybe they are Jewish?

T+84 (from Sunday 2 May 2010) looks interesting. 3 1/2 days time, bearing in mind the change of spell with all the seismicity that involves on the 6th (T+84.)It appears they know something. So it must be storms then.Which is what the picture shows.Earthquakes show up as occluded fronts off the other side of the Mid Atlantic Ridge and a squashed set of isobars.Oh!Whoops!
The Canadian chart shows a massively elongated High reaching almost to another similarly large High in the Arctic:You know what?I really hate the way I have to subvert Opera to get a picture posted in the comments section.Someone write and tell the jokers to do something about it will you?

OK. I placed some stuff on usenet. Here is my input over several messages at sci.geo.earthquakes:[quote-Weatherlawyer]All change, to more of the same by the look of it. FNMOC is showing an interesting High building up off Canada but instead of going to the Davis Straight, it loops around a long lasting very high Low. And toward the end it looks to give a picture for Derechos. Of course that's at the long end of the range. The phase would be for tornadoes if the systems had a little more life in them. Let's just hope they aren't severe. Hang on, nothing severe in this lot…. That means some bad winds blowing. Tell me what'd I say? Tell me what'd I say now mamma? You got folks in Omaha? Wake em up in Arkansas. Who knows what or where the case might be. No need to spread alarm unnecessarily. Or not as the case may be. Hey, hey, oh, oh, hey. Tell me what'd I say? Tell me what'd I say? Tell me what'd I say?[/quote]I had no idea what would happen next. For a while there, it seemed that nothing dramatic would
More of the same:
By serial phases I meant such that induce the so called negative anomally -which is no more than a placing of the dominant anticyclone over Greenland. By stating the spell is on song, I mean it differs for m the others in the series because it IS SUPPOSED to behave like that. I don't believe the others are. It's just a quirk of the sonics involved -IN EACH CASE.Hmmm…
I already knew this stuff and forgot it. When the Met Office is on the ball with stuff I say about the lunar phase, the basic code stuff being correct too, it's generally storms.And when it's only me that's right, quakes.
And then I promptly forgot again.
And oil wells exploding.Curiouser and curiouser:
So I got this one:
Well that is about it.There is a little more on the site:http://groups.google.co.uk/group/sci.geo.earthquakes/browse_frm/thread/b77bb40dfb34aa4c?hl=en#But that is it, by and large. Too many people hurt for me to have enjoyed myself with it. It's a crowning triumph that is prone to me pulling the carpet out from under myself wit natural disasters.Too bad.

6.1 M. 2010/05/03. 10:28. 29.6 N. 141.1 E. Izu Islands, Japan.IIRC, there is a set of quakes in the list from the previous comment that will form a line with this one. Of course that is definitely going back well past my memory faculties.Unless I have forgotten something recently.I'll have to sit down with a globe and work on it.
I wonder if it will be on the same Rhumb line as this:http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/100402_rpts.html
