As predicted by the South African Weather Service (SAWS), parts of South Africa have been hit by an intense cold front yesterday and today (Wed and Thurs 10-11 June 2020).

Many Capetonians awoke to a scene that looked like snow... but was in fact bucket-loads of hail.

Whilst in other parts of the Western Cape, residents were treated to mountains of actual snow.

SAWS posted a satellite image of the cold front over the central interior of SA this morning. The weather service announced "very cold temperatures" across the western, central and southern parts of the country, and warned of heavy showers still being possible over the Western Cape with snow on the mountains.

Ontario's first official tornadoes of the year cut a path straight through the London area on Wednesday evening.

A dark funnel cloud outside Glencoe, Ont. was captured on video. It shows the storm swirling and throwing up dust. It downed power lines, felled trees and damaged buildings.

Less than an hour later, at about a quarter to nine, a tornado touched down in Thames Centre.

Environment Canada has confirmed two tornadoes touched down as a line of severe thunderstorms moved through the area, leaving thousands without power for hours.

Tornado warnings had been issued for both areas as the evening went on.

Massive plasma discharge over Washington D.C leaving an air glow for a fraction of a second. If the glowing air lasted for seconds or minutes ancient peoples would have left petroglyphs of the event, I found several. Also these same sets of carvings show a micronova from our Sun with Squatter Man, so are we witnessing another repeat of ancient events over the USA Capital?
