      <description>Solar Cycle 25 continued to defy expectations in March, with activity ramping up in the "post-peak phase". On March 16, Active Region 4392 produced an M2.7 flare, triggering an R1 radio blackout over the Atlantic, Africa, and southern Europe, and a vivid auroral display visible at mid-latitudes. On March 26, the AR4403 unleashed an M3.9 flare, and the month closed with a dramatic exclamation point: an X1.4 flare from AR4405 on March 30, the strongest event of the month. The eruption prompted forecasters to issue watches for G3 (strong) to G4 (severe) geomagnetic storms - a development that also raised concerns for NASA's Artemis 2 mission, scheduled to launch just days later. March 2026 brought catastrophic flooding and severe storm activity spanning nearly every continent:</description>

      <description>It seems like Solar Cycle 25 still has some surprises in store with sudden high-level activity despite being "post-peak". An X1.9-class flare erupted on January 18 at 18:09 UTC from AR4341, classified as the strongest of the month, triggering an R3 radio blackout and followed by a fast coronal mass ejection (CME) traveling at around 1700 km/s toward Earth. This led to a severe S4 solar radiation storm on January 19 — the first such event since 2003 — posing risks to astronauts and polar flights, while producing vivid auroras visible globally. The spikes in solar activity have influenced this month's seismic activity, amplified storm intensity, and contributed to atmospheric instabilities worldwide. January 2026 saw extreme weather, including record snowfall in North America and unseasonal cold snaps in Europe, alongside devastating floods and landslides in Asia and Africa. Seismic activity included multiple magnitude 6+ earthquakes in Mexico, Japan, the Philippines, and Pakistan....</description>

      <description>December 2025 witnessed escalating solar activity within Solar Cycle 25. Early in the month, a full-halo coronal mass ejection from an M8.1 flare on December 6 led to a strong G3 geomagnetic storm on December 9, enhancing auroral displays. Mid-month featured an X1.1 flare on December 8 — the most intense of the period — along with multiple C- and M-class flares. Activity intensified late, with an M5.1 flare on December 27, an M4.2 on December 28, and peaking at an M7.1 on December 31, accompanied by potential Earth-grazing CMEs. Sunspot clusters and coronal hole high-speed streams contributed to minor geomagnetic disturbances throughout the period. We can anticipate additional extreme weather, earthquakes, and increased solar activity over the next few months. December 2025 was marked by severe flooding and landslides in Southeast Asia, resulting in over 1,500 fatalities across Sri Lanka and Indonesia, alongside notable seismic activity, including a 7.6 magnitude earthquake off...</description>

      <description>November 2025 featured intense solar activity, with sunspot region AR4274 producing multiple X-class flares, including an X5.1 on November 11 — the strongest of 2025. These events launched coronal mass ejections that triggered a severe G4 geomagnetic storm on November 11-13, the year's most powerful, sparking stunning auroras visible across North America (as far south as Florida) and into Europe. Radio blackouts disrupted communications, and high-energy fluxes increased significantly, leading to heightened seismic activity, intensified rainfall patterns, and atmospheric instability worldwide. November saw notable volcanic and seismic activity, including eruptions at Kilauea in Hawaii and Hayli Gubbi in Ethiopia, alongside heavy rainfall that triggered widespread landslides and flooding in Southeast Asia and Africa. Typhoons affected the Philippines and Vietnam, leading to massive evacuations. Severe hailstorms and unseasonal cold snaps impacted various regions, while meteor...</description>

      <description>A severe solar storm mid-month, driven by coronal mass ejections, produced auroras visible as far south as the southeastern U.S. and triggered brief radio blackouts. Multiple M- and C-class flares hit Earth from late September into early October, with low to moderate levels by late October and a slight chance for M-class events. The "X-flare factor" reemerged mid-month, alongside geomagnetic disturbances that may have influenced atmospheric patterns, triggering seismic releases, intensified storm systems like Hurricane Melissa, and unseasonal weather anomalies this month. We can anticipate similar events over the next few months. The increased seismic and volcanic activity continued to wreak havoc in October:</description>

      <description>August, saw a stark decrease in sunspots (133) compared to July (210), yet this decline is not unusual as solar cycles can exhibit fluctuations even during the peak phase. The decrease may indicate a transition phase within the solar maximum, where activity can vary significantly. Yet, this month's solar activity set the stage for increased geomagnetic activity in early September, including a G3-level geomagnetic storm that resulted in stunning auroras across various regions, including the United States. Considering the erratic solar activity and significant geomagnetic storms we can expect more extreme weather in the upcoming months.</description>

      <description>A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29, marking one of the most powerful seismic events recorded globally since 2011. The quake triggered widespread aftershocks, including a 6.0 magnitude tremor in the Pacific Ocean, and generated tsunami waves up to 19 feet high, prompting warnings from Japan to Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast. The earthquake also caused significant geological shifts, with the southern part of the peninsula moving southeastward — a displacement comparable, though more modest, to that seen in Japan's 2011 quake. Local officials reported no fatalities, only a few injuries, and limited damage to infrastructure, primarily due to the region's earthquake-resistant buildings and low population density. The Kamchatka earthquake had profound volcanic repercussions, activating seven volcanoes simultaneously for the first time in nearly 300 years, according to the Russian Academy of Sciences.</description>

      <description>June 2025 opened with a moderate geomagnetic storm (G2-class) on June 2, triggering auroras visible in half the U.S. and parts of Canada. While solar activity was quieter than in May, the cumulative stress on Earth's magnetosphere from solar winds, cosmic rays, and atmospheric ionization is amplifying terrestrial upheaval. We had it all this month: Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, deadly floods, unprecedented hailstorms, sinkholes, freak summer snowstorms, and scorching temperatures. Again, we cannot discard the possibility that the erratic activity could be caused by the electric interaction between our Star and its twin.</description>

      <description>Since August 2024, solar cycle 25 has had an erratic intensity decrease, with a sudden peak in May, with up to 136 and 166 solar spots. A significant activity compared to the current official peak of 156.7 sunspots. The activity in May was highlighted by an X2.7 flare, the strongest of the year to date, multiple M-class flares, and a prominent coronal hole in the Sun's southern hemisphere. The flares caused radio blackouts across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and auroral displays at mid-latitudes, visible further south than usual. Right now, the general activity decrease data forecasts a possible solar minimum between 2029-2031. So far, the unusually cold temperatures and even snow in summer may continue or even extend further into the season.</description>

      <description>Solar Cycle 25's post-peak phase of sustained but declining activity started this month, yet X-class flares and geomagnetic storms indicate activity is still high, with medium levels of sunspots, so a rebound cannot be completely discarded. This activity is reflected in the extreme weather down here in April, from unseasonable snowstorms and catastrophic floods to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Arctic air plunged into mid-latitudes, triggering cold snaps and heavy snowfall in regions expecting the warmth of spring. In Seoul, South Korea, cherry blossoms mingled with the first mid-April snow since 1907, while the Alps were buried under eight feet of snow in just three days. Minnesota reeled from a 15-inch (38 cm) blizzard, and Turkey's capital, Ankara, faced icy roads after unexpected snow. These anomalies, also hitting Ukraine, Poland, and New Zealand, with surprisingly cold temperatures for Spring, highlight erratic weather patterns and the winter lingering on further and...</description>

      <description>A shallow 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar near Mandalay, killing more than 5,350 people, injuring nearly 8,000, and destroying thousands of buildings, including Mandalay's royal palace and the Ava Bridge, with the damage exacerbated by the country's ongoing civil war and compromised infrastructure. International aid from neighbouring countries such as China, India and Thailand poured into Myanmar to help with the relief effort. In Thailand, the earthquake was felt in 77 provinces, prompting evacuations and causing temporary disruption to transport and services. The low-frequency seismic waves caused a 33-storey high-rise building under construction in Bangkok to collapse, killing 51 people and leaving dozens missing. The tremor was felt in eastern India, particularly in Kolkata and West Bengal, causing minor structural damage but no reported fatalities. In Bangladesh, tremors were reported in Dhaka and Chittagong, leading to evacuations and temporary power cuts,...</description>

      <description>Japan experienced an extraordinary snowfall that put the country in the global spotlight as a record-breaking cold front hit Hokkaido, Japan, dumping 120 cm (4 feet) of snow in just 12 hours, disrupting travel and driven by a powerful cold front that swept through the region. The Polkus base also recorded an astonishing 6 meters of snow, one of the deepest in the world in recent years. Resorts such as Happo-One in the Hakuba Valley also boasted massive bases, with depths approaching 5.5 meters (18 feet), while Tengendai Kogen later reached 7.2 meters (23 feet) by the end of February. This record-breaking accumulation was part of a broader wave of extreme winter weather, driven by phenomena like the Siberian Express, which funneled cold air and heavy snow across Japan. Meanwhile, Mammoth Mountain in California received 91 cm (3 feet) of snow in a single day, while Montreal broke its snowfall record with 75 cm (29.5 inches) over four days, prompting residents to stay indoors.

      <description>Southern California saw one of its most severe wildfires in history. Ignited by hurricane-force Santa Ana wind gusts, below-average humidity, and record drought, fires erupted across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties. The Palisades Fire on the outskirts of Malibu and the Eaton Fire in Pasadena were the most ruinous, consuming over 37,000 acres together, scorching over 12,000 structures, and claiming the lives of 24 individuals. Over 200,000 residents were forced to evacuate as flames engulfed neighborhoods, including high-value areas, causing an estimated $250-275 billion in economic losses. Foreign crews assisted firefighting personnel in battling the fires for weeks, where containment was restricted by the relentless wind. The fires permanently impacted the region, leading to a wholesale rebuilding process. It's important to mention that several property insurers in California cut coverage or stopped offering new homeowners policies...</description>

      <description>December closed a year of significant extreme weather events, with an interesting increase since the Solar Cycle 25 peak officially started in October. To this point, Solar Cycle 25 with its 191.44 confirmed sunspots will break recent records of activity, even the one of 1954-1958 Solar Cycle 19 with 285 sunspots. Interestingly enough, Solar Cycle 24, was one of the weakest solar cycles in the last century, with a peak sunspot number of 116.4. This is an unusual activity difference and has sparked interest and research within the scientific community. Some hypotheses suggest that this could be part of a longer-term solar cycle variation or an extended solar minimum with a few peaks before a stark decrease.</description>

      <description>An Arctic blast brought several intense winter storms and heavy snowfall to northern Europe, causing widespread disruption and travel delays. Countries such as Sweden, Finland, and parts of the Alps saw significant snow accumulations, with some areas receiving up to 27 inches (70 cm) of snow. Meanwhile, Ukraine experienced record-breaking snowfall, with some areas seeing up to 31 inches (79 cm) of snow. This extreme weather event was driven by a powerful cold front that swept across the region, causing road closures, power outages, and challenges for transportation and emergency services. The heavy snowfall also had a significant impact on agriculture and infrastructure, affecting rural areas already struggling with the consequences of the military conflict.</description>

      <description>Spain faced unprecedented flooding as severe storms hit the Magro and Turia river basins, triggering the overflow of river banks, inundating towns and villages, and causing significant damage to infrastructure, including many roads and bridges. The Valencia region was hit hard, with rainfall of up to 1.3 feet (40 cm) in some areas. The unexpected downpour caused widespread devastation and took more than 200 lives. Paiporta was one of the worst-hit towns. Many residents were trapped in their homes or vehicles, and emergency services were overwhelmed. It took days for rescue operations to reach all affected areas. Despite the disaster, stories of solidarity and heroism emerged. The lack of timely intervention by the government triggered a wave of cooperation across Valencia and neighboring counties, providing basic needs such as food and water, and helping with the cleaning efforts. Similar to what happened in North Carolina.</description>

      <description>This hurricane season is shaping up to be one of the most intense of recent years with many powerful storms that displayed rapid formation, fast intensification, and incredible amounts of damage due to heavy rain and floods. Here's a summary of the most significant storms in September: Hurricane Francine rapidly intensified into a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 100 mph (155 km/h), making landfall in southern Louisiana, bringing torrential rains and severe flooding, causing widespread damage, submerging homes and infrastructure, and resulting in $1.5 billion in damages. Fortunately, there were no fatalities. Storm Boris reached wind speeds of 75 mph (120 km/h) and rainfall of up to 14 inches (360 mm) in some areas of Central and Eastern Europe, causing the Elbe and Danube rivers to overflow, submerging entire communities, collapsing bridges, damaging homes, and sweeping away cars.

      <description>Rainy season in the northern hemisphere is breaking records again pointing to an accumulation of cometary dust, volcanic particles, and electric imbalance of our Earth electric field. After battering the Caribbean and parts of southeastern Mexico, Hurricane Beryl dumped heavy rain and flooding in Texas, knocking out power to nearly 3 million homes and businesses. Vermont and New England were also hit hard by the remnants of Beryl, with more than 6 inches of rain in 24 hours causing flash flooding that affected large areas.</description>

      <description>Solar activity continued to intensify throughout May, triggering the most powerful geomagnetic storm over two decades, disrupting power grids, telecommunications, air travel, and GPS services. But these effects were overshadowed by stunning auroras seen far to the south, dazzling millions of witnesses around the globe. It was the most intense display in 500 years! While some countries in the northern hemisphere, such as Mexico and India, experienced extreme heat, parts of the southern hemisphere were hit by early heavy snow and the northern hemisphere by unseasonably cold temperatures for May.</description>

      <description>As we reach an early peak in the current solar cycle, anomalous extreme weather and geological phenomena are intensifying alongside social and geopolitical unrest. A rare quadruple solar flare exploded almost simultaneously on 23 April, followed by an X-class solar flare on 30 April, causing widespread radio blackouts across the Pacific region. This activity could be responsible for some energetic events in the last part of April: USA: Unusual tornado outbreak in at least 5 states. Guangzhou, China: Unusually strong tornado kills 5, injures 33. Saudi Arabia: Heavy rainfall and widespread flooding. An unexpected drop in temperatures in some parts of the northern hemisphere led to unusually heavy snowfall in mid to late April. Unseasonably cold weather is expected to continue into May. However, el Niño caused extreme heat, and dry conditions in parts of North, Central, and South America, affecting crops and leading to water rationing in some countries, such as Mexico and Colombia.

      <description>An X-class flare that split into two simultaneous explosions - known as a sympathetic solar flare, triggered a coronal mass ejection that slammed into Earth, causing the biggest disruption to our planet's magnetic field in more than six years. The last time the Earth experienced such a strong geomagnetic disturbance was in September 2017. The resulting geomagnetic storm reached severe (G4) status, causing communications disruptions around the world and increasing the potential for major earthquakes. It's worth noting that this peak in the solar cycle has come earlier than originally predicted, and as solar activity decreases, so do temperatures on Earth. As we have mentioned many times before, the climate and Earth changes are strongly influenced by solar activity and the electrical interaction between our star and the Earth. And it's interesting to observe that even when the sun is at its peak, we see record snow and low temperatures around the world:</description>

      <description>Lahaina, Hawaii; Valparaiso, Chile; and the Texas Panhandle were been hit by wildfires with suspicious origins, unusual patterns of spread, and extremely destructive effects. Theories and speculation took over social networks: from arson to Directed Energy Weapons. But to what end? Land grab, to instill fear in the population? Only time will tell. "I have witnessed and observed some extraordinary damage in our state. Could be caused by hurricanes or tornadoes, and frequently when you see the aftermath of that damage, there's some symbol as of a structure that is still there. When you look at the damages that have occurred here, it's just gone. Completely gone. Nothing left but ashes on the ground. Some early, and I will categorize as premature assessments, show that there are about 400 to 500 structures that have been destroyed. There's no way to say for certainty that's gonna be the final number because there's still the ongoing assessment process." - Texas Governor, Greg Abbott....</description>

      <description>2024 started with a bang: A magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck western Japan, destroying and collapsing buildings, causing fires, and knocking out infrastructure on Japan's main island of Honshu just as families were celebrating New Year's Day. More than 33,400 people were in evacuation centers and at least 200 buildings collapsed. Some 30,000 households were without power and more than 110,000 were without running water. The death toll rose to over 200, with more than 100 still unaccounted for. Strong aftershocks buried more homes and blocked roads vital for aid deliveries. Record freezing conditions caused widespread disruption around the world in January. In the US, all 50 states were hit by heavy snowfall at the same time this season; 55% of the continental US was covered in snow - an unprecedented event. This caused widespread travel disruption, thousands of canceled flights, power outages, and damaged infrastructure nationwide.</description>

      <description>As Solar Cycle 25 is about to reach an unexpected peak, we observe an increase in electrical phenomena such as air-spirals, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. A massive solar storm that nearly reached "X-class" status hit Earth on the first day of the month, causing some minor radio and internet disruptions worldwide. This was followed by one of the largest solar flares since 2017 on December 15, which temporarily knocked out radio communications on Earth, affecting even the higher frequencies. "These impacts were felt from one end of the Nation to the other," said the NOAA. The strong and persistent magnetic storms have also affected the ozone hole in the southern hemisphere, which remains unusually large for this time of year when it normally shrinks. It has remained at a size of about 15 km2 to become the third largest after November 30. At the same time, record cold weather in the stratosphere produced polar clouds earlier and farther south than usual, with people from all...</description>

      <description>Record snowfall from northeastern China to the northeastern U.S., and unusually heavy rains and floods wreak havoc worldwide in November. Meanwhile, at the COP28 climate summit: 200 countries struck a breakthrough climate agreement, calling for a transition away from fossil fuels in an unprecedented deal that targets the greatest contributors to the planet's warming. It's not news that the green agenda is a big scam to make its proponents richer, siphon off taxpayer money, and push policies that undermine people's freedom. But as we have said before, nature has other plans. This November has been no exception in terms of historic snowfall records: Anchorage, Alaska: Snowiest November since records began in 1953. Northeast China: Record snowstorm forced airlines to cancel flights, halted trains, and closed schools and roads. Northeastern US: Unprecedented 40 inches of snow from upstate New York to parts of New England. Mongolia: Heavy snow and blizzards cover 60 percent of the...</description>

      <description>Comment: UPDATE 14 Nov 2023 YouTube appears to have "terminated" the entire SOTT Media channel - which archives 10 years' worth of monthly Earth Changes Summary videos - after some jealous 'extreme weather upstart channels' claimed copyright on several seconds' worth of footage used in several 2023 Earth Changes Summary videos. Fair Use by an all-volunteer staff working for a non-profit organization apparently means nothing to ruthless corporate mercenaries who are only in it for the clicks and notoriety. Unless or until our channel is restored on YouTube, SOTT Summary videos will be posted on our Odysee channel. As we approach the midpoint of Solar Cycle 25, which has had the lowest solar activity in about 200 years, we are experiencing cooler-than-average temperatures and unseasonable snow across the globe.

      <description>The wildfire season around the world came to an abrupt end in September with sheets of water and widespread flooding. Furthermore, the increase in electrical phenomena, such as rare tornadoes, waterspouts, severe storms, and lightning, was evident this month. In the United States, Hurricane Ida made landfall near Corpus Christi as a Category 1 storm with sustained winds up to 75 mph. The resulting high tides caused extensive coastal flood damage from Texas to Louisiana. Meanwhile, in India, heavy monsoon rains triggered severe flooding and mudslides that claimed over two dozen lives across the country. In South Africa, a similar weather system brought record-breaking rain which led to widespread power outages as well as road closures due to landslides. The incredible amount of water and unexpected hailstorms also damaged a significant amount of crops in the Northern Hemisphere, as in the case of Valencia, Spain, where 54,000 acres were destroyed, causing losses of 43 million euros....</description>

      <description>So-called historic wildfires in the U.S., Greece, and Canada filled corporate media headlines while blaming "global boiling." However, the annual number of wildfires for 2023 remains average. In Greece, the annual average did increase moderately, and arsonists were to blame. Social media was flooded with convincing points and speculations, blaming the globalist psychos' minions for starting the fires in order to spread fears of man-made climate change to push Net Zero policies throughout the Western world, and also, to take advantage of the aftermath to buy land at a fraction of their original price. Accusations of land-grabbing grew even louder after the Lahaina fires when private companies "generously" offered to buy the affected land. But then, Governor Josh Green, said he would not allow the land to end up in private hands, but that the government could buy them. Is this good news for the people of Lahaina? Or will the land, once handed over to the government, end up in the...</description>

      <description>Despite hysterical disinformation from the mainstream media, average July temperatures around the world were in line with previous years and were actually lower in some countries in the northern hemisphere. It's worth noting that global warming alarmists blame hot temperatures for the raging wildfires around the world, but even if there has been a slight increase, some have been reported as arson (almost all of them in Greece for example), and others could have been caused by the increase in thunderstorms and isolated lightning strikes. In lesser cases, meteorites and overhead explosions can cause forest fires, in addition to outgassing. Increased accumulation of conductive dust (volcanoes, comets, etc.) or rain promotes electrical discharges between higher layers of the atmosphere and the ground, which can manifest as lightning, intense tornadoes, waterspouts, more severe storms, or hurricanes. Something we can see quite clearly this month. Here are some of the most remarkable...</description>

      <description>Record rainfall and flooding around the world marked this month, but some rare snow events should be highlighted: Some parts of Jasper, Alberta, received more than 4 inches of rain and more than 20 inches of snow during the week of the summer solstice. In Jasper National Park, two roads were closed and 60 visitors were rescued after becoming stranded. In western Canada, many ski resorts were blanketed with unusually heavy snow for June. The same system dropped 6 inches of snow at Tamarack Resort, Idaho, and Beaver Creek Resort, Colorado. America's Mountain was also hit by a sudden blizzard that dumped a record amount of snow for June, bringing all traffic in the area to a halt as visibility dropped to zero in a matter of minutes. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, the country's largest agricultural region braced for a surprise wave of snow and ice that caused lasting damage to crops and livestock. Torrential rains also caused flooding in the same area, leading to road closures and air...</description>

      <description>The warm-mongers blame the residual activity of La Niña for the record cold and snow in April in some parts of the northern hemisphere. But as much as they would like to blame la Niña, there has been an ENSO-neutral state for some time now. In addition, there is data suggesting a 60% chance of a transition to El Niño in May-July 2023, and that it could trigger a new spike in global temperatures. So, if things get warmer in some parts of the world and the media and "climate authorities" blame it on global warming, pay no attention to them. It's El Niño. We would like to remind our readers that the global climate is primarily controlled by solar activity, not by human activity or man-made C02. The same applies, of course, to phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña: It is not out of the question that there are physical links between energetic solar eruptions and El Niños. Whether these lines of reasoning turn out correct or spurious is of no import regarding the practical results of...</description>

      <description>Extreme weather continues to batter California. Heavy rains, flooding, hurricane-force winds, and tornadoes left hundreds of thousands without power and prompted evacuations from the hardest-hit areas. To top it off, the state reported the second snowiest late winter on record and the third snowiest month on record. The anomalously heavy snow buried Southern California mountain communities under 12.5 feet of snow and caused the indefinite closure of Yosemite National Park, which received 15 feet of snow and broke a decades-old snowfall record in the process. Utah also recorded its snowiest late winter, breaking a record set in 1983. Snowbasin Resort in Weber County officially had its snowiest month on record. And the same system that affected parts of the West Coast also hit southern states with snow, flooding, golf-ball-sized hail, and tornadoes, leaving more than 1 million without power and killing at least 13. And the northeastern U.S. also got its share of extreme weather, as a...</description>

      <description>A devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck southern Turkey and northern Syria on the morning of February 6. A second major earthquake of 7.5 magnitude struck the region 9 hours later, causing further severe damage and destruction of buildings. On February 20, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Hatay, and on February 27, a 5.6 magnitude earthquake centered in Malatya also caused many damaged buildings to collapse and increased the death toll. More than 150 aftershocks were also recorded. 46,000 people in Turkey and 6,0000 in Syria lost their lives, and at least 1.5 million people are now homeless. More than 160,000 buildings have collapsed or been severely damaged. It's hard to know the true number so far, it could be much higher. The immediate damage is estimated at $34 billion - or about 4% of the country's annual economic output. But the indirect costs of the quake could be much higher, and recovery will be neither easy nor quick. Just for the record, a prediction model based...</description>

      <description>The start of 2023 has been marked by heavy snow, unseasonably cold temperatures, and wetter-than-expected weather for the season. All this while the manufactured food and energy crisis continues to deepen in the West, thanks to the deluded globalist psychopaths. Extreme weather hit California pretty hard this month: A bomb cyclone, severe flooding, mudslides, power outages, walls of snow in Soda Spring, and a magnitude 4.2 earthquake with an epicenter in offshore Malibu. Denver, Colorado, saw 13 inches of snow this month, making it the 15th snowiest January on record. Jackson County registered -5°C, and the Purgatory ski resort recorded 23 inches of snow in 24 hours. Northern Arizona got more than two feet of snow in 48 hours. It was the 25th largest snow event and broke the single-day snowfall record on Sunday. Nevada was hit by winter storms that brought heavy rain, high winds, and significant snowfall at higher elevations. Las Vegas desert was also covered in white, a strange...</description>

      <description>This past month of December, a couple of serious blasts of Arctic air spread across the continental U.S., Canada, and parts of Europe and Asia, shattering records. More than 250 million were affected by the freezing temperatures... and winter had just started. Forecasters believe that man-made climate change has empowered La Niña, triggering the so-called Greenland Block (A powerful area of high pressure in the Northeast Pacific and lower-than-normal air pressure over the western Pacific). They even propose this is the main factor for the record freezing temperatures in the northern hemisphere this winter. Yet, we know better now: The sun defines climate, and the global cold trend may increase over the coming years. Warm-mongers also highlighted that sea ice in Antarctica reached its lowest extent on record at the end of December. Yet, in the long-term Antarctic sea ice still shows an increasing trend. In addition, the overall snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere is the...</description>

      <description>This month was marked by early snowfalls in the Northern Hemisphere and late ones in the Southern Hemisphere, along with 2 possible meteorite impacts, and unusually strong floods. According to NOAA, snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere is the second-highest for November in the past 17 years, extending from Minnesota to Siberia. Extensive snow cover early in the cold season is not a good sign, as air masses can deepen in later months. So far, the trend points to a persistent cold and harsh winter. Bad news for the US and the EU as they are unprepared for a harsh winter, thanks to the ruling pathocrats' (and similar crazies) beyond stupid, society-damaging economic decisions of late. This, of course, is part of a larger "strategy" to impose a global totalitarian regime. And nature, of course, responds to the widespread suffering caused by it. The northern part of the US is already experiencing a fast drop in temperature, and significant snowfalls disrupted traffic and power....</description>

      <description>Record rains and devastating floods hit at least 19 countries across West and Central Africa killing thousands and displacing tens of thousands. Over one million acres of cropland have been destroyed worsening the burgeoning hunger crisis. This has been considered one of the deadliest disasters in the region. "The rainfall this year is exceptional. There have been sustained rains since the beginning of the season, since August, September, and even until October now, it continues to rain," said Kousoumna Libaa, a climate specialist. Nigeria experienced its worst floods in a decade, taking the lives of at least 600, while tens of thousands of livestock were lost to the waters and waterborne diseases. 18 of Nigeria's 36 states were affected. In Cameroon, flood waters caused significant damage in the northern region, destroying crops and houses, and Chad's government declared a state of emergency after the floods affected more than 1 million people. Some farmers have lost close to 75%...</description>

      <description>Hurricane Ian hit Florida as a furious Category 4 storm taking the lives of at least 100. The strong winds and floods destroyed hundreds of houses and businesses and left hundreds of thousands of people without power. Some residents of island communities were cut off from the mainland. Ian caused the most significant hurricane loss in Florida history, with total economic damage of $100 billion. Sheets of rain and record-breaking floods continue to wreak havoc around the world, but in parallel, volcanic and seismic activity in the Ring of Fire peaked in September: 7.6 M earthquake in Michoacan, Mexico (September 19) 7.6 M earthquake in the Eastern New Guinea region (September 10) 7.0 M earthquake Southeast of the Loyalty Islands (September 14) 6.9 M earthquake in Taiwan (September 18) 6.9 M earthquake in the Central Mid-Atlantic Ridge (September 4) On September 19, 1985, an 8.1-magnitude earthquake killed 10,000 people in Mexico City.

      <description>Heavy rain, floods, and huge hail continued to wreak havoc worldwide in August. The solar minimum has triggered three consecutive years of La Niña and stronger monsoons in Asia, bringing wetter and colder conditions in some parts of the world, and drier and hotter conditions in others. Yet, this pattern also predicts a significant impact in the northern hemisphere during the winter, with colder temperatures and more snow precipitation. One-third of Pakistan has been hit with non-stop rains and floods for the most part of this summer. The catastrophic monsoon rain and floods are unprecedented in scale and scope. So far, 33 million people have been affected and the country's agriculture, a pillar Pakistan's economy, has been overwhelmed. Nearly half the cotton crop has been lost. In Afghanistan, several provinces across the eastern, central, southern, and western regions were also hit by heavy rains, resulting in flash floods and landslides that caused the deaths of more than 180...</description>

      <description>As the solar minimum deepens, we feel the impact down here in the form of record rainfall, huge hail, raging floods, localized heat waves, and unseasonable snow. The diminished solar activity has also contributed to the weakening of the magnetosphere, meaning that (among other things) more cosmic rays pass unimpeded through the upper layers of our atmosphere, seeding clouds. But that's not all, we need to remember that the accumulation of volcanic and cometary ash and dust particles contributes to clouds formation and promotes precipitation, so we have a perfect mix for record-breaking rains and floods. When we add in decreasing temperatures in higher layers of the atmosphere, huge hail and unseasonable snow make a lot of sense. Furthermore, the jet stream continues with its unusual 'meandering' including creating a 'double flow' that has been causing pockets of heat. As we have been repeating for some time, we are reaching a global weather pattern that points to an eventual global...</description>

      <description>Unseasonable snow in the Northern Hemisphere continued to make headlines in June. High parts of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Hampshire got up to 16 inches of snow, disrupting travel. There were unprecedented summer snowfalls in central Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan that dumped historic accumulations in Samangan province, killing cattle and damaging seasonal crops. 1,000 people died, and 1,500 were wounded after a 5.9M earthquake hit eastern Afghanistan, compounding the struggle in a nation already affected by a food crisis. China's Sichuan province was hit by a shallow 6.1M earthquake that took the lives of at least four people and wounded 14 others. Extreme storms, floods, and landslides wreaked havoc around the world this month. Half a million people have been affected by the heaviest downpour in 60 years, triggering floods and landslides in Guangdong, China. The record-breaking event caused the evacuation of 177,600 people, destroyed 1,729 houses, and damaged 27.13...</description>

May 2022 had it all - blistering heatwaves, deadly deluges, unseasonal snowfalls, and terrifying tornadoes. Your government reassures you that the climate going haywire is 'fixable' and 'predictable', but how are green taxes and energy blackouts going to stop volcanoes erupting and meteors falling?</description>

      <description>Over the last few years, winter has continued to gain ground over spring, and this time is no exception. A late winter storm blasted the northeastern United States with high winds and snow, sending temperatures plummeting and making travel hazardous. The Ohio River Valley experienced the heaviest snowfall that blanketed parts of Nashville, Tennessee, and Cincinnati. Parts of Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, North Dakota, and California also reported unseasonable snow throughout the month. Moreover, sudden temperature drop and blinding snow showers caused a 60 vehicle pile-up on Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, causing the death of 6. Much of the UK remained in sub-zero conditions later this month due to a sudden blast of arctic air that brought snowfalls as far as south London. Travel and power experienced disruptions in the northern parts of the county. Untimely snow also reached parts of Greece and Turkey several times this month, including on the first day of...</description>

      <description>Heavy snow, freezing rain, and ice hit much of the Central, Eastern, and Southern U.S. this month. Hundreds of thousands suffered power outages, and 5,200 flights got canceled. Brazil was hit by an unprecedented amount of rain during February, affecting millions. Mudslides and floods hit the city of Petropolis killing at least 152, flooding rivers in Rondônia displaced thousands, and roads turned into rivers in Umuarama. A cold front brought heavy rain and strong winds to Haiti and Dominican Republic. Rain fell for 36 hours, and several rivers have broken their banks. Nearly 3,444 homes were affected, and 2,500 families were displaced. Parts of Quito, Ecuador, were devastated by the heaviest rain in almost 20 years. 40 times more rain fell than predicted by the forecasts. The deluge triggered a landslide that destroyed houses, carried away dozens of vehicles, and claimed 24 lives. At least 20 people died, and more than 55,000 others were displaced after Cyclone Batsirai slammed...</description>
