Winter Storm Xyler snowfall totals from April 26 through early April 28, 2019.
Winter Storm Xyler brought accumulating snow to parts of the northern Plains, upper Midwest, Great Lakes and interior Northeast during the last weekend of April 2019.

Xyler was a mid-spring clipper-like low-pressure system that swept across the northern tier of the United States from the northern Rockies through South Dakota and Nebraska, then the southern Great Lakes. The northern side of Xyler had just enough cold air to work with to produce unwanted snow across the northern Plains, upper Midwest, Great Lakes and interior Northeast from April 26 through early April 28.

Winter Storm Xyler was named during the late-afternoon hours on April 26, when winter storm warnings were issued for southern Minnesota and southern Wisconsin, including the Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin, metro areas. Those warnings met our criteria for winter storm naming, at least 2 million people located in winter storm warnings.

The world's fourth most populous country Indonesia looks set to move its capital city away from flood-prone, sinking and overcrowded Jakarta to elsewhere on the Asian archipelago, according to the country's planning minister.

"The president chose to relocate the capital city to outside of Java, an important decision," Planning Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro said of disputed President Joko Widodo's proposal and campaign promise.

The minister cited examples such as Brazil, Australia and Kazakhstan which all, at one point, moved their capital cities. The official presidential election results are due on May 22 and Widiodo's rival Prabowo Subianto has also claimed victory.

Reality hits global warming protesters
The same headline keeps appearing that this place or that place is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, but its every country on Earth with the same headline. So every place on Earth is 2x the rest of the Earth go figure the propaganda. Record late snow in Japan and Chicago with a winter storm ripping across the USA.

Floodwaters triggered by Cyclone Kenneth's heavy rains rage in parts of Mozambique, causing homes to collapse

Rescuers raced to help people caught in fast-rising floodwaters in Mozambique's cyclone-hit city of Pemba on Sunday, as houses collapsed in one neighbourhood and heavy rain raised fears of worse to come.

More than 160,000 people have been affected in the largely rural region, many left exposed and hungry.

"Help us, we are losing everything!" residents of the northern city shouted at passing cars as the rushing waters flooded their homes. Women and girls with buckets and pots tried to scoop away the torrent. But in vain - the water poured into doorways.

In the worst-affected neighbourhood of Natite, homes have begun to collapse, the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a tweet.

"We are unfortunately expecting devastating floods," it said.

Temperature has preceded CO2 concentrations on Earth for the last 450,000 years, but that somehow slipped under the radar, and now revisiting the Climategate emails the Medieval Warm Period was equal to today's temperatures if not warmer. But bogus climate charts are emerging across social media showing otherwise, plus rocket tests in Norway are explained by Jim Lee at Climate Viewer.

NASA scientists warn of 'perfect storm' as cosmic rays reach record high; Earth facing a mini Ice Age

MINI-ICE AGE warning, solar minimum
MINI-ICE AGE warning as solar minimum hits ALL-TIME HIGH - 'It's a PERFECT STORM!'
The solar minimum is well and truly here after scientists recorded an all-time high in cosmic rays, meaning Earth could face a 'mini Ice Age'.

Some ten years ago, scientists noticed an all-time high in cosmic rays - rays which originate from deep space, not to be confused with solar rays. Now, scientists have noticed cosmic rays are back on the up as the Sun goes deeper into a solar minimum. The Sun follows cycles of roughly 11 years where it reaches a solar maximum and then a solar minimum.

During a solar maximum, the Sun gives off more heat and is littered with sunspots. Less heat in a solar minimum is due to a decrease in magnetic waves.

Fewer magnetic waves equates to the Sun being slightly cooler, and experts are expecting the solar minimum to deepen even further before it gets warmer.

With less magnetic waves coming from the Sun, cosmic rays find it easier to penetrate Earth's atmosphere and are more noticeable to scientists.

Comment: Despite the continual raging of unhinged idealogues about the 'global warming' threat, growing numbers of scientists are conceding that the real climate change threat is another ice age, precipitated by cyclical cosmic forces - and even they aren't telling the whole story.

Hail carpets the desert in Saudi Arabia, April 3rd 2019
A bizarre freak weather phenomenon has struck the Middle East, unleashing heavy snowfall, extreme floods and "apocalyptic" dust storms.

The mysterious and extreme weather has caused bizarre 'ice floods' to sweep across deserts in Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. The freezing plunge in temperatures has perplexed meteorologists in a region that is typically basking in scorching sunshine at this time of year. Last week, several parts of Tunisia were hit by snow and torrential rainfall, causing fatalities.

Floods and colder temperatures were felt throughout the Levant, as rain led to severe flooding in Riyadh, and hail, thunderstorms, and flash floods struck the UAE.


At the same time, nearly one hundred villages have been evacuated in Iran due to an extreme rainfall deluge and subsequent flash floods.

Large parts of Saudi Arabia have been submerged in snowfall, sparking wonder amaze local residents and concern among scientists.

Four people have died and four others have been injured after a crane collapsed onto a street in Seattle, slamming into a Google office building under construction and trapping people inside cars.

The collapse took place on Mercer Street in downtown Seattle on Saturday afternoon. Four people were already dead when rescuers arrived at the scene, Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins told a press conference.

The death toll includes two crane operators and two people who died in separate cars after the crane wreckage crumpled their roofs. Three people were taken to hospital and one was treated at the scene.

Four German ski tourers were killed by an avalanche last Friday in the eastern Bernese Alps, the police reported on Sunday.

The group of skiers set off at 9am on Friday from the Finsteraarhorn mountain hut, north of Fieschertal in canton Valais, heading to the Konkordia hut above the Aletsch Glacier.

After being swept away by an avalanche on Friday, their bodies were recovered on Saturday after the warden at the Konkordia hut alerted the police.

Bad weather delayed the rescue effort and the four bodies were only found on Saturday afternoon by the Goms and Air Zermatt rescue services below an avalanche.

Several avalanches were observed on the route taken by the skiers above 3,000 metres altitude, the Valais cantonal police said on Sunday.
