A two-hour storm unleashed 54mm (2.1in) of rain on Sunday night in Paris, the equivalent of 27 days of rainfall.

Weather services say 49.2mm fell in one hour, the French capital's heaviest July deluge on record.

Flooding closed 20 metro stations and three were still shut as commuters made their way to work on Monday morning.

Parts of Switzerland were hit by violent winds and hail storms that also caused flooding at the weekend.

Heavy rain began in Paris at 21:00 (19:00 GMT) on Sunday night and Méteo France said the amount that fell was higher than the previous record of 47.4mm set on 2 July 1995. Rain continued to fall heavily on Monday in Paris.

Some areas of the west and around Paris had seen more than a month's average rainfall between Sunday afternoon and 08:00 on Monday, it said.

Dr Roy Spencer has released the June 2017 UAH satellite temperature set, but it shows a 0.23C drop from May 2017 temperatures. This is incredibly strange as the Northern Hemisphere is heading into summer and S. Hemisphere isn't into winter yet, yet record cold sweeps the continents of the southern part of our world. Also a new report out detailing the effects of solar forcing as we enter the grand solar minimum, and its a drop of temperature, TSI, all spectral wavelengths of light and record increases of galactic cosmic rays that will bring the thousand year storm as the common occurrence. I hope you are mentally prepared.

ICE FLOES
Incredibly the coldest temperature ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere was July 05, 2017 at Summit Station on GREENLAND. Additionally the mass surface ice budget is blowing away all records from the 1981-2010 averages. This was not predicted in the IPCC climate models, but all we still get are stories of microbes being unearthed in melting permafrost that will wipe out humanity. If this were true then the Nomoli figures from Sierra Leone could never have been created 17,000 years ago as it was warmer then and there would have been more microbes released from the permafrost.

Frost damage
There are so many crop losses happening globally, but the media focuses for less than a millisecond and back on to the next propaganda story. This is a list of losses I have been watching over the last month, Georgia peach crop loss, S.E. USA peach crop loss, fruit losses in USA and Europe, chickpea crop in Canada, frozen corn on the stalks in late June in the Dakotas, frost, hail, wind and drought seem to be the common theme globally this year. Asia and Australia are experiencing losses as well. Watch your food price skyrocket by the end of 2017, and the media will still be asking why instead of covering the effects of the intensifying grand solar minimum.

Kenyans on Tuesday evening took to social media to celebrate a rare case of snow falling in the East African country.

Photos and videos shared on social media showed whitish substance on the streets of the town of Nyahururu located in the country's Laikipia County.

The Kenyan Meteorological Agency, however, clarified and explained that the incident was a case of rare hail storm and not snow. ''For it to snow temperatures are usually below 0°C," they explained.
The event in Nyahururu is a hail storm. Such storms occurs when there is abrupt convection and rain clouds form too fast.

Transit bus lies in a sinkhole in Veracruz
A massive sinkhole swallowed a public transit bus during heavy rains this morning in the city of Veracruz.

No one was hurt when the bus fell into the big hole while it was parked at the roadside in the Oasis residential area. Four nearby houses were evacuated initially and at least 20 more since because the rain hadn't stopped and the sinkhole was getting larger, said Civil Protection officials.

One said that 125 millimeters of rain fell between 8:00am and 1:00pm today.

Residents of at least 10 other houses in other parts of the city were also evacuated for fear they would collapse due to sinkholes.

A 5.9-magnitude quake on Monday (Jul 10) rocked a central Philippine island still reeling from a deadly tremor last week, though there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, seismologists said.

The US Geological Survey said the moderately strong quake struck Leyte island near Ormoc, a city of about 200,000 people, at 9.41am at a relatively shallow depth of 12.7km.

A 6.5-magnitude quake stuck the region on Thursday last week, killing two people and leaving 72 others injured.

Large areas of Leyte, home to some 1.75 million people, and some parts of the central Philippines were still without electricity this week due to damage to a Leyte power plant.

The Philippines lies on the so-called Ring of Fire, a vast Pacific Ocean region where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Seven endangered right whales have been found dead in the Gulf of St. Lawrence since June.
The carcass of a seventh North Atlantic right whale has been found off the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, reports Radio-Canada.

The Canadian Coast Guard discovered the dead whale near Havre-Aubert on Wednesday night.

Quebec's marine mammal research network, known by its French initials GREMM, confirmed to CBC's French-language service that it was not previously aware of the carcass.

Tonya Wimmer, with the Marine Animal Response Society, said the whale is a male, and it was badly decomposed. She also said it isn't clear yet what caused the whale's death, The Canadian Press reported.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans told CBC News in an email that it is investigating the whale carcass to determine if it is a new one or a carcass that has been previously identified.

Six other North Atlantic right whales, which are an endangered species, have been found dead in the Gulf of St. Lawrence since June.

A minke whale is dead, despite desperate attempts by officials to steer the creature out of a harbor in Chatham, officials said.

Chatham Harbormaster Stuart Smith said a property owner along Oyster Pond River, an estuary flowing to the harbor, reported the 18-foot-long whale was dead in the river early Friday morning.

A team from the International Fund for Animal Welfare has been sent to retrieve the carcass so a necropsy can be performed to determine the cause of death, spokeswoman Melanie Mahoney said.

Smith said he was first notified around 6:30 a.m. Thursday that the whale appeared to be stuck in Stage Harbor.
