I'm just collating today's BOM charts (and subject to the usual
waivers) it looks like there is a surge in the tornado strikes for
this spell.

It is not repeated in today's North Atlantic though, so...

The lunar phase is a perfect one for thunderstorms. (Also no longer
shown on the North Atlantic today.)

What is shown on the MetO's chart run is a northerly High moving to
southern Europe, allowing dying Lows to pass through an anticyclonic
sandwich (with the other High sitting on the shores of Norway.)

Activity seems low on the NEIC list so far today.

The main reason for posting with this headline is that the belt of
stormy weather that surrounds Antarctica is holding off from the
coast.

The black palls of depression that Do hit the line don't seem (to me
at least) to contain much threat of earthquakes. It is of course
summer so there is no daylight on the dark side of those storms.

So presumably the precipitation is lifting too soon?
That's enough for the dullards on here to struggle with for now. I'll
post my reasoning on the finding in a subsequent *post.

I haven't looked at previous charts to check but when I first started
posting them it was Winter and the belt of Low pressure surrounding
the continent was set up in a manner that looked identical to the
stator plates of a small electricity generator.

The above set looks more like a couple of knotty windings.
No dark masses break the continuity.

There are a few well formed cyclones in the pot but they look
harmless.

The darkest has been there since the last spell. It is off South
America, on the Antarctic Peninsula. And it is a signal for storms.

Signals for earthquakes are much larger, darker and circular. And they
are short lived.

They tend to come in as quickly as is reasonable and more or less
intact from their sub-tropical source. And large ones recieve an
injection from their opposite number at an angle that contrasts
sharply with the normally slow track in.

The latter runs straight in from the eastern side of its originating
continent and perpendicular to Antarctica.

These things almost always occur in pairs on opposite sides of the
continent. They do this regardless of what they signal, storms or
earthquakes.

(Explain that with Weggener.)

The tropical storms (slated for dispersal later today and tomorrow are
still ongoing according to the Antarctic charts. But not according to
the MetO ones)

That sounds contradictory. But the stand-off with stroms happens at
the start of the affair.

Once the precipitation makes the coast as a cyclone,the stream lines
in the cyclone run across the continent to join with other cylones. It
is the direction of the closest isobars (seen as black lines) that
indicate what sort of storm there will be.

The collections of charts will be posted on he
