New electrical phenomenon termed "Green Ghost" appears in Earths atmosphere with plasma ropes, record south latitude noctilucent clouds and naked eye Jellyfish Sprites. The economy is collapsing at the same time so it appears we are in a cycle witnessed before as planets are lining up as 79 A.D in 2024. Global events match heavenly body timelines.....

Farmers up north are counting the cost of a freak hail storm on Sunday that has all but destroyed this year's fruit harvest. Estimates so far point to over €20 million in damages in just one borough.

As the Algarve suffered simply a cloudy afternoon that 'looked like rain', areas around Viseu and Fundão, Castelo Branco, Belmonte, Covilhã and Penamacor experienced the full horror of hail, driving rain and wind.

Motorways were brought to a halt, there was localised flooding, but worst of all was the damage to this year's fruit crops, including vines.

This was actually the 3rd time in four early summers that the north has been hit by devastating, short-lived storms.

Cyclone Nisarga
IMD predicts heavy rainfall and strong winds with a speed of 90-100 kmph in the coastal districts of Maharashtra and Gujarat on June 3
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) warned that Nisarga Cyclone, which has turned into a depression in the Arabian Sea, will hit Maharashtra and Gujarat on June 3.

According to a Hindustan Times report, since 1891, no weather system has turned into a cyclone and made landfall near Mumbai or along the Maharashtra coast during June.

Which means that Nisarga Cyclone could be the first tropical cyclone in 129 years to hit Maharashtra in the month of June.

The Nisarga cyclonic storm is brewing in the Arabian sea near Lakshadweep at the moment.

Experts quoted in the report said that only two depression, 1948 and 1980, have come close but never turned into a tropical cyclone during June as per records.

Once this system intensifies into Cyclone Nisarga, it will be the second cyclone over North Indian Ocean this season this year, the first being Cyclone Amphan.
