This year the weather over the North Atlantic has shown us a remarkable
amount of new things to learn more about.

This month is interesting in that these phases:

Should have provided the opposite effects to what occurred. When such a
phenomenon arrives in a positive NAO cycle, the phenomenon will end with a
large magnitude earthquake and/or (in its season) a North Atlantic Hurricane.

It would seem that these events turn into volcanic activity elsewhere
when the NAO is negative. Of course, as with all aspects of the humanities,
the truth is strikingly obvious once you see it.

And only a fool would jump to conclusions and promulgate them in the
face of adversity. But...

For want of suitable data to prove or disprove it, the evidence at
first sight suggests that: When an hurricane does occur during a
negative NAO, then the track tends toward the north rather than heading
for the USA.

That may be why the southern regions of the UK are like the doldrums
for cyclones. It is well known that despite a propensity toward flat
calms, the equatorial oceans seldom get cyclones of any considerable
strength.

They are caught between two worlds as it were. Likewise the south of
England lies between the two most virulent cyclonic regions in the
North Atlantic: Iceland and Biscay.

Scotland has vicious gales all the time. The Home Counties: once a
century. So what is the reason for the UK seldom getting earthquakes
and never getting volcanic eruptions? (Come to that, what is so special
about Italy?)

Is it possible to answer these riddles?

Perhaps?

Of course!

But not just yet,

....maybe.
