Where extreme weather happening in one category or another is not NEW, for there to be multiple and continous occurences is a red flag. Add to this the magnetic diffusion coming from the core of the Earth, heating of the Earth's oceans from the bottom of deep rifts upwards, and slowing rotation, and you've got indications that we're due for another passage of the 12th Planet. Check out the Weather Watch page at:

where Troubled Times has summarized the truly atypical weather for the past couple years. Details, available on linked pages, of course.

.........

This Weather Watch indicates recent activity only, since 1995. Data is summarized by year, with more detail and a cumulative extreme weather map available on the year's individual page. The trends can therefore be seen if one year and then the next is examined, in turn. This Weather Watch only reports activity that can be considered truly unusual. Typical weather, no matter how extreme, is not listed here. This is to show the recent trends, without clutter.

• During 1995 the millennium trends of weather extremes began in ernest, with more severe drought, rain, snow and cold. Antarctica's Larsen ice shelf disintegrated. More hurricanes were named than ever before. It was the hottest year on record, following the hottest decade, with over 500 dying in a Chicago heat wave. Record snowstorms were recorded from Scandinavia to Buffalo, NY. Australia's Big Dry broke records while the deserts in the Sudan continued to encroach, while many areas worldwide such as New Jersey were experiencing drought for the first time. Deluges, such as the one washing away 10,000 head of cattle in China's Guangxi province, occurred.

• During 1996 world records on all fronts were broken. There were more major hurricanes than ever before recorded. Heat record were broken across the US. China's Qinghai province was devastated by the century's worst blizzard, while the US East Coast was also buried in record snowfalls, the wettest year on record. Drought continued to be experienced for the first time in many places worldwide, such as Slovenia. Record breaking deluges occurred, such as the 17 inch rainfall in Chicago and deluges causing horrendous flooding over many provinces in China.

• During 1997 a pattern of large areas being affected by severe weather, happening simultaneously in many parts of the world emerged. Deluges continued, with the US West Coast battered by record flooding, while and Europe suffering extreme cold. Antartica continued to melt.
