Clm, quiet and overcast = problems for someone somewhere.

The BBC weathergirl on Friday promised rain for bank holiday Monday.
Well it looks like it might be raining thisavy. I'll just take a toddle
around my locale to see what the avian genuses think.

It has een an interesting month tectonically. A fair bit of volcanicity
as well as the earhtquakes. Lots of sixes and a tremor not even placed
on the Neic sites that killed one miner and trapped 2 more in a
goldmine in Oz:

Brant Webb, 37, and Todd Russell, 34, were trapped April 25 by a
cave-in that killed another miner. Webb and Russell apparently were
saved by a slab of rock that fell onto the cage of their cherry-picker
and prevented smaller rocks from hitting them after a small earthquake.

In January, 14 miners died in two accidents at mines in West Virginia.
In Mexico, 65 miners died in February after an explosion trapped them
underground. However, in Canada, 72 potash miners walked away from an
underground fire and toxic smoke in January after being locked down
overnight in airtight chambers with oxygen, food and water.

You ain't seen nothin, yet.

There is a change of spells due with the lunar phase on Friday, 5th
May. At least two fine spells. Not that there will be much difference
in the SW of England.

(Or not as the case may be.)

What will be interesting is that the present (similar) spells have run
for a number of weeks and there is always a heightened period in the
change over of such runs, when storms meteorologic or seismological
tend toward the extreme.

Mags 7.9; 5.1 and 5.4 Tonga. God damn it. There is a lot to learn.

Either that, or it all arrived early. IIRC we have about 8 Mag 7+
quakes each year. We've had two so far. I wasn't paying much attention
to the first one but this one came with a bout of cold windy weather
followed by a really nice day.

Keep an eye open for such changes for the next one, somebody, will you?
My computer always goes down or something stupid happens when I aught
to be concentrating. I'm not much good at paying attention at the best
of times.

Such as today perhaps?

Looks like being another scorcher. It started out cool and dull.
Nothing like the near gale we had a few days back though. Anyone
looking at the Atlantic map?

Anyone there?

Hello.

This is Weatherlawyer calling earth... hello...

http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wwa/ Posting of Tornado watch and
interestingly, in the next state, winter storms. Or I haven't quite got
the right idea with the codes for that map. Pink is for Winter Weather
Advisory, is it not?

Anyway, the new phase -only lasting a week or so, is for fine weather.
The BBC weatherforecast is not so optimistic and have also slated misty
weather. And we all know what that means, don't I?

It's not unkown to have another 7+Mag quake in the same week or so as
another. And tat Tonga site is still ringing loud and clear. More
likely for a mag 7 or higher to strike on the oter side of the earht
though. Still I must say, those so called aftershocks are somewhat
persuasive.

More likely for a mag 7 or higher to strike on the other side of the earth though.

I have just remembered that the other side of the planet from Tonga and
the Fijian Islands is smack dab in the middle of Hurricane territory.
Nothing in the news at the moment unless you count a ship in trouble.
It doesn't soun like the sort of thing that happens with muzzy thinking
though.

The likely tornadic / thunder-storm activity has moved from NW to
Central Texas. But no more forecasts of mists on the TV.

So it is probable it was a false alarm.
