As Iran is suffering from severe drought, its officials are struggling to explain the disastrous weather conditions. An Iranian general believes Israel is behind the cloud and snow theft, but meteorologists cast their doubts.

Brigadier General Gholam Reza Jalali, head of Iran's Civil Defense Organization, accused the Islamic Republic's old regional adversary, Israel, of taking the lead in "suspicious" climate change in the country. The general says researches have proof that Tel-Aviv, with some allies, are putting a crimp in precipitation on Iranian soil.

"Foreign interference is suspected to have played a role in climate change," Jalali told a news conference on Monday as cited by Isna. He added that Iranian research centers can "confirm" the claim.

Comment: While the capabilities of weather modification is still up for debate, what is clear is that all over the world the climate has dramatically shifted where a variety of extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common, and that includes record breaking drought and epic flooding:

Snow in British Columbia July 02, 2018 and the news article covers heat in Ontario devoting a few sentences to the snow coverage in an article about snow cover in July, but the other 5 paragraph to how warm it is elsewhere. Ski resorts with honest journalism calling snow through their stories, heat not mentioned once.

Hudson Bay ice anomalies continue with ice measurements and food / fuel prices up which means now more than ever you need to take measures to grow your own food to keep costs low in your life.

Incredible zonal wind event dragging dust storm from Africa from the Gulf of Mexico to Chicago then up into Canada swirling to Hudson Bay.

Shocking footage shows a man being mauled by a wild bear after it fatally attacked a couple in India, before a desperate mob kills the animal by beating it with long sticks.

Baipilli Urvasi, 50, and her husband Tirupathi Rao, 55, were mauled to death when the bear pounced on them in an orchard in south India.

When villagers in Yerramukkam, in Andhra Pradesh, moved in to attack the bear, in a video reminiscent of the Leonardo DiCaprio film The Revenant, the huge beast can be seen fighting back.


Comment: This event was originally reported on the 10th of June (minus the video) with the following headline: Woman killed by bear, 7 others injured in Andhra Pradesh, India.

There is still snow and ice in N. Canada. While the weather has been warmer the past couple weeks...the very cold spring in N. Quebec and N. Labrador has left some snow on the ground here in the first week of July. The ice on Hudson Bay is slowly melting, but the bay is still mostly ice covered.

Here's another view of the snow and ice in the Arctic. There is still a little ice left on Great Bear Lake and inland lakes northwest of Hudson Bay are still frozen. Barrow (Utqiaġvik) had a high of 41 yesterday. The average high at Barrow in July is 47.

Huge hailstones smash up car in Krasnodar, Russia - Filmed from inside

car smashed
Mother Nature can be very destructive, and she has no qualms about wrecking havoc on you or your vehicle. This video captures the harrowing time that a driver has in his Lada while a hailstorm annihilates the vehicle's windows.

The situation starts badly when this video begins, and things only get worse from there. There's a lot of hail coming down from the beginning, but the ice balls are small enough that they don't seem to harm the vehicle. The hailstones continue to get even larger, though, and at 1:44 into the clip, several pieces are large enough to crack the windshield. The driver is understandably upset and constantly yells about what's happening.
