http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclips...se2001gmt.html Apart from the British weather enjoying the first real summery spell of the year, this pattern seems to be a repeat of last weeks spell. Even down to a super cyclone in the Asian Pacific. Next weeks spell should be a classic anticyclone with the time of the phase at 05:01 on Oct 11th. Unfortunately, if there is another super cyclone, the weather will be wet. (If it is a super-cyclone involved, the chances are that the time of the phase the harmonic knocks back to will be 1 o'clock. But then again the present cyclone has not knocked the harmonic back 4 hours. 10:06 should read 04:06. But wait.... that's another one of those tricky harmonies.) Good 'ere innit! |

A beautiful run of some of Britain's finest faded a little once the typhoon "Krosa" hit the beaches. A MetO forecast for tomorrow (Tuesday the 9th of October) gives a trough from a very deep Low in the Atlantic: http://85.214.49.20/wz/pics/brack1.gif There is still 3 days left on this spell and although things are in the sixes on the NEIC site: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/...quakes_all.php they are sporadic at best (worst) so there is a major quake or something in the system. (Tornadoes probably but of course there is that lining up along the longitude which is indicative of another volcanic eruption. (I wonder if I would go and look at the records if I was getting paid for this. I think I would do it without pause.)) In short I have no idea what is going on. There is always an hiatus in the middle of a spell whatever the spell. It is rather similar in nature to the eye of a storm. I think the good weather will hold over and if I am lucky change into a perfect anticyclonic spell for the duration of the next one. |

God dammit, summer started here in April and still hasn't ended. Tomorrow's high temperature is expected to reach 95 degrees (just 24 degrees above average.) The month of August was the hottest ever recorded, a full 8.9 degrees above normal, the month of September was 6.8 degrees above the mean temperature.

There isn't a place under the sun that is finer for studying all earth's sciences and as far as hot weather goes, wherever you are, you can keep it. By the way a small matter for your cogitation whilst you are thinking about weather: How hot does it get at night where you live and why? How much does the air between you and the sun get heated during the day and how? The Gulf Stream sweeps away millions of cubic miles of seas surface water every hour, day and night. The warmer end of the solar spectrum can reach down as much as 100 feet in clear water and the blue end can go 200 in similar circumstances (if I remember correctly.) So how does the Gulf Stream work exactly and why does the water under that surface remain so cold so long? Simple stuff for a teacher of your calibre but I think it's best we stick to basics for now if you are going to educate me. Thank you for your consideration. And now I must go and look out the window for it is Tuesday. I await the gathering storm with eager trepidation. |

It's a small price and it will keep your fingers quiet for a spell. Call me and I'll book a passage for you, A passage where exactly? To Louisville Kentucky my man, it would do you a power of good to see real weather events, tornados, heat storms, severe thunderstorms (derechos) and even snow and ice storms during the winter. I know the UK sees a variety of weather, but I've been there many times, I've never been impressed or learned anything new or interesting about weather patterns when I've been there. I was there for nine days one time and the the temperature never varied more than eight degrees and there was constant drizzle. It's a pretty boring and predictable place in the scheme of things. However, don't get me wrong, that can be a good thing too. For instance, you wouldn't have to deal with severe thunderstorms and the damage they cause. On 13, July, 2004, a derecho developed just north of the Ohio River and swept through here leaving a path of destruction in it's wake. Half the people in this city (300,000) lost power. Winds were clocked as high as 100MPH (non tornadic) and many people were without power for weeks. Then there was the freak snow storms of 1994 and 1998, both dumped over 16 inches of snow and the former brought with it a cold Canadian high, which caused temperatures to dip to -36 (F) in some places. The 1998 storm dumped two feet of snow whilst closing roads and stopping travel for many dies, several deaths resulted. You can read about the super tornado outbreak, April of 1974 I believe, many F-5 tornados, one which drove right through this city, killing dozens and injuring hundreds; although the worst tornado developed over a small town in Ohio, do some reading. It should be noted that this was the single biggest outbreak in history and affected many states. Now THIS is weather, Mr. Weatherlawyer! Read and enjoy, you may even become aroused. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Outbreak The United Kingdom is the centre of the world at the moment. There isn't a place under the sun that is finer for studying all earth's sciences and as far as hot weather goes, wherever you are, you can keep it. Thanks, I will and see above for some weather trivia. As for the other aspects of the UK, I was quite pleased with the country as a whole. Sure beats the hell out of France and Italy (two places that I will never visit again.) How hot does it get at night where you live and why? Do you mean how hot does it stay at night? Typically, daytime is the when it gets "hot." That all depends on the time of year, average low temperatures range from around 23 in January, to 70 in July. However, this can vary significantly, depending on weather patterns, precipitation and other obvious factors. Being in a relatively small city, the urban heat island is not a big factor although we live in an area that was built on a swamp, the entire city. This is why we had such a massive TB problem in the earlier part of the 20th century, look up the Waverly Hills Sanatorium some time, but not before bed. Taking that into consideration, and the fact that we are near the Ohio River, it stays quite humid throughout the entire summer. It's not unusual to see temperatures of 80-85 degrees at 2am with a modestly high heat index. Your question was really not specific enough to answer with any detail, I need more details! Attention to detail should be the key to anyone's life, counsellor. How much does the air between you and the sun get heated during the day and how? That question is foolish, there are too many factors involved, and if you like to ponder such rubbish, be my guest. The continuous fusion of hydrogen into helium keeps the sun warm enough for me to grow flowers and plant my vegetables, that's all that matters. Fortunately, light travels at 186,000 miles per second so it doesn't take the morning rays all that long to arrive although when it's overcast, that can present some problems. The Gulf Stream sweeps away millions of cubic miles of seas surface water every hour, day and night. The warmer end of the solar spectrum can reach down as much as 100 feet in clear water and the blue end can go 200 in similar circumstances (if I remember correctly.) So how does the Gulf Stream work exactly and why does the water under that surface remain so cold so long? Now that's a more reasonable question and something I'm willing to take a shot at. Since I'm in the medical field, I don't spend much time (anymore) thinking about such things but it is an interesting topic and I'll try to answer it off hand. By the way, you have no sense of humor what-so-ever. When I made the statement that I would give you lessons regarding meteorology, it was a joke. It's clear that you have a lot of time on your hands and are very knowledgeable, if I had the time to post 30 times per day, doubtless I too would play a weatherman on the internet. That being said, if you are indeed a lawyer, you're in the wrong field. I'm sure the UK would love to have someone with your splendid qualifications and seemingly endless knowledge about not only weather, but astronomy and geology as well. Now, back to your question. Off hand, I would say that because the Earth moves counter-clockwise, the combination of the viscous fluids, air and water, produces a pumping action that moves the water of the south Atlantic westward. Surface water in the north Atlantic is chillded by winds from the Arctic. It becomes more dense, which probably causes it to sink to the ocean floor (ya think?) To replace to the cold water, the Gulf Stream moves warm water from the Gulf of Mexico to the North Atlantic. In short, it is driven by surface wind patterns and differences in water density. I read this, probably about four or five years ago, so don't take pot shots if I'm a bit off here. I work 50-60 hours a week and don't have 100 hours a week to ponder such things. Hope I answered your question and in turn, taught the teacher a lesson or two. heh Thanks for the interesting questions though, it's been a pleasure. And now I must go and look out the window for it is Tuesday. I await the gathering storm with eager trepidation. Yes, is there a rain shower off in the distance that is threatening your golf game? I understand London is supposed to pick up an inch (or less) of rain, is that what you consider a storm? A year ago, we received 11 inches in one night and I lost half my basement due to flooding. As I said, it would do you a power of good to spend some time in a climate with some variety. Even the highlands of Scottland would probably be better for meteorlogical studies than the UK, which has very little in the way of interesting topography. It's far too close to the ocean (and too far north) to make for an interesting place to study weather first hand.

This area would be located just south of Lake Superior (the largest of the great lakes) in northern Michigan. Ironwood Michigan is a good place to start as they average around 160 inches of snow per year. If you travel just south of Ironwood, around 60 Kilometers, the average snowfall is only around 70-80 inches. Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake but Lake Baikal actually holds a lot more water, beautiful lake. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

I read this, probably about four or five years ago, so don't take pot shots if I'm a bit off here. I work 50-60 hours a week and don't have 100 hours a week to ponder such things. Hope I answered your question and in turn, taught the teacher a lesson or two. heh Thanks for the interesting questions though, it's been a pleasure. And now I must go and look out the window for it is Tuesday. I await the gathering storm with eager trepidation. Yes, is there a rain shower off in the distance that is threatening your golf game? I understand London is supposed to pick up an inch (or less) of rain, is that what you consider a storm? A year ago, we received 11 inches in one night and I lost half my basement due to flooding. As I said, it would do you a power of good to spend some time in a climate with some variety. Even the highlands of Scottland would probably be better for meteorlogical studies than the UK, which has very little in the way of interesting topography. It's far too close to the ocean (and too far north) to make for an interesting place to study weather first hand. You need to find a mountain or be four or five hundred miles away from the coast! You really need to get a grip on your paragraph spacings if you intend to be widely read. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.t... e171cbb2be55 |

Even down to a super cyclone in the Asian Pacific. Next weeks spell should be a classic anticyclone with the time of the phase at 05:01 on Oct 11th. Unfortunately, if there is another super cyclone, the weather will be wet. (If it is a super-cyclone involved, the chances are that the time of the phase the harmonic knocks back to will be 1 o'clock. But then again the present cyclone has not knocked the harmonic back 4 hours. 10:06 should read 04:06. But wait.... that's another one of those tricky harmonies.) Good 'ere innit! A beautiful run of some of Britain's finest faded a little once the typhoon "Krosa" hit the beaches. A MetO forecast for tomorrow (Tuesday the 9th of October) gives a trough from a very deep Low in the Atlantic:http://85.214.49.20/wz/pics/brack1.gif There is still 3 days left on this spell and although things are in the sixes on the NEIC site:http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/...quakes_all.php they are sporadic at best (worst) so there is a major quake or something in the system. (Tornadoes probably but of course there is that lining up along the longitude which is indicative of another volcanic eruption. (I wonder if I would go and look at the records if I was getting paid for this. I think I would do it without pause.)) In short I have no idea what is going on. There is always an hiatus in the middle of a spell whatever the spell. It is rather similar in nature to the eye of a storm. I think the good weather will hold over and if I am lucky change into a perfect anticyclonic spell for the duration of the next one. No major storms no NAO negativity and no major earthquakes. My forecast is in tatters. Something deep is waking. A major series of high Mag quakes did IIRC bring about a major negative oscillation in the North Atlantic. So what on earth is going wrong here? There seems no rhyme or reason to this spell. I hate this czjd. |
