Frost damage to French vineyards

Article out from Bloomberg claiming that French Vineyard losses are because of the warmest and driest conditions since the 1300s. I trace back recent cooling over the last four years that questions that plus going back to 1445 in wine production through France, something doesn't fit historical timelines of civilization.

Extreme weather to cut French wine output by 12% this year

French wine production will fall 12% this year after vines were damaged by spring frosts, drought and hail, but quality will remain generally good, the agriculture ministry said on Tuesday.

In its second estimate for 2019, the ministry forecast production of 43.4 million hectolitres, down from 49.4 million in 2018 when output had benefited from good weather condition.

Last month the farm ministry put French output in 2019 in a range of 42.8 million to 46.4 million hectolitres.

A hectolitre (100 litres) is the equivalent of about 133 standard wine bottles.

In many vineyards, flowering occurred in rainy and cold weather, while heat and hail have also contributed to a decline in production potential, the ministry said in a note.

However, the situation will vary by region.

Record-breaking heatwaves in June and July affected some regions in the south, such as the Gard, Herault or Var, causing burns on the grapes and production losses, it said.

August snowfall in Himachal Pradesh, India points to the possibility of early winter

snow India
The parts of upper Himachal have received several spells of snowfall paved way for early onset of the winter season this year.

While everything is normal in lower parts of Himachal, the upper parts are witnessing frequent spells of fresh snowfall which is not normal in August. Rohtang pass and Baralacha pass have received fresh snow two times this month.

The snowfall even affected the traffic at Baralacha pass, even the parts of Lahaul-Spiti district, including district headquarter Keylong, experienced rare snowfall on August 18 that flattened pea crop in some areas.

The peaks of Pir-Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges have received snow multiple times this month. Although most of the snow melted away very fast, it has triggered a sudden dip in the temperature at high altitude areas. The snow covered green patches on the peaks. Himachal agriculture minister too had said that unexpected snowfall in August had damaged pea crop at some parts of Lahaul-Spiti.

Adapt 2030 Ice Age Report: VEI 5/6 Eruption - Blocking high N. Hemisphere mean exceptional cold early

Shiveluch volcano eruption

Largest eruption in more than a decade occurred in Russia on the Kamchatka Peninsula with Shiveluch pushing ash to 70,000+ feet. This will for sure have a regional cooling effect along the latitudes along 50-60N and at the same time the Canadian SIPS put out the long rage forecast for a blocking high that will deflect cold Arctic air all winter south over N. America, Asia, and Europe. This is it, the feedback loop is in full play. Coldest in two centuries on our door step as we step down further into the Grand Solar Minimum.

Look at the video. This is NOT hail.

24 Aug 2019 - Video was taken this morning (Saturday) in the Eastern Black Sea Youth Camp in the Dรผzkรถy district of Trabzon, Turkey.

The August snowfall surprised and amazed residents. Some were shocked.


Comment: We think Ice Age Now called this one wrong. It sounds like hail in the video. However, it's snowing in August all over the world
