Earth Changes Bulletin Update As Of September 8 2004

You have heard of the Weather Report?  Here exclusively is this week’s  "Earth Report" - a short review of the “big picture” about how the dynamic changes in the Sun and the Earth are effecting our lives more and more intensely, with the latest prognostications and predictions for weathermen, farmers, investors, businessmen, and every man.

ONCE AGAIN!!!

BEWARE HURRICANE IVAN

It has intensified rapidly into a Category Four and may be Category Five when it slams across Jamaica and Cuba.  Florida may be hit, or is it the Gulf Coast or the Carolinas…..

WATCH CAREFULLY!!!  The good news is that it is likely to mute down into a Category Three or Two by the time it slams into North America, but, like Frances, this storm is unbelievably HUGE and will blow long and hard and dump a foot of water over already flooded areas.

 

THE COSMIC FORCES BEGAN TO RISE IN INTENSITY ON THE EARTH PLANE THIS PAST WEEK. ALREADY

A RESURGENCE FROM THE SOLAR VORTEX PUSHED WEATHER AND HUMANS TO EXTREMES AND THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT FOR A TEMPESTUOUS SEPTEMBER.  BUT AL QAEDA’S SPONSORED MURDERS OF RUSSIAN SCHOOL CHILDREN IS LIKELY A TERRIBLE MISTAKE AND THIS TEMPESTUOUS FALL MAY MARK THE BEGINNING OF ITS END.

 

On the geophysical front,  FOR THIS AMAZING GLOBAL WARMING YEAR, the CURRENT peak of sunspots will probably hit 100 plus to produce VERY WET LATE SUMMER STORMS .  The El Nino trend weakened in the charts of August 8-29, calling it in doubt for 2005, but an anomalous huge patch of warming water between Hawaii and California will no doubt force Fall weather in North America into chaotic, unpredictable patterns.  Meanwhile, Earth’s tectonics remain calm.  Volcanism remains largely muted but activity is picking up slightly with the resumption of activity in Etna.  Only two shape-shifter quakes struck in the Great Rifts of the ocean bottoms this past week. But seismic activity in Japan, with a 7.2 and a 7.4 mag quake on the same day surprised everyone and shred the syzygy paradigm.

 

On the geopolitical front, AS As the Imperial Faction continues to lose its control of the Iraqi street and the hypnotic mindlock on the American public which led to the Tragedy of Iraq, vigorous efforts and stupendous sums are being expended on manufacturing FEAR AND THE WILL TO VIOLENT REACTIONS.  The boldness of this starkly Hitlerian strategy is jaw-dropping  But will it work?….THAT is not easy to determine.  BUT NO DOUBT ALQAEDA WILL DO ITS BEST TO MAKE IT WORK. THE BOMBING OF THE SCHOOL CHILDREN IN RUSSIA, IN THIS GLOBAL VILLAGE AGE, IS AS GOOD AS A “MESSAGE” DELIVERED DIRECTLY IN AMERICA. Among both the Americans and the Russians, the will to violence is much strengthened by this action and we may see many more of them during the next two months.  Keep in mind always that the one goal of the terrorists in these campaigns is to goad an escalation in violent reactions and attacks on Islamic targets. Violent over-reactions are the one sure method the terrorists have to keep Islamic peoples fragmented and too isolated to form up a united front to directly oppose the terrorists.  The one sure method for destroying the terrorist movement is to help the Islamic community forge a common front to oppose both the crudities of western interference and the barbarism of the jihadists.

Program Thesis:

What are we trying to do with the Earth Changes Bulletin?

Most news media do not handle technical and scientific subjects like geology and earth sciences very well.  They don't understand the causes and effects of activities in the Sun and Earth.  Accordingly, they often do not understand if, when, how, why to report earthquakes, volcanic activity, global warming effects  The treatment often sounds absent-minded, poorly qualified, and frequently contains various technical errors.  Seldom is the treatment entertaining and genuinely educational.

Based on new scientific principles which have emerged during the past thirty years, many of the dynamic activities of the Sun and Earth can be linked together to see how a range of effects are linked together.  This makes it possible to paint "the big picture" into a perspective which explains many diverse events and processes, especially climate and weather patterns such as global warming and El Nino. From the "big picture", long range predictions can be made for weeks and even months ahead.  The result is sophisticated cutting-edge information which is objective, balanced, astute, relevant, and can be easily seen and appreciated by lay audiences.  The perspective is generally global, seldom parochial. For the framework of concepts, terms, and current conditions which are used or described in the these Bulletins, see the Earth Changes 2003 Almanac Calendar.

SPONSORING:

THE COMING ECONOMIC COLLAPSE OF 2006, which puts today, tomorrow, and the trends together into the Cayce 25 year economic cycle which will “bottom” in 2006/2007.  Click here to download

 

THIS BOOK STILL COOKS AND IT WILL COOK THE POLITICIANS AND THE ECONOMY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO 2008:  This synthesis is far ahead of the daily digests in all halls of the internet media: so far (since may 2003) the track record on this set of predictions for 2003-2008 is running 100 per cent.  If you have not purchased this book, you will remain ignorant of the main dynamics which are rapidly changing everything. 

 

LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2004: 

All projections are on track.  This month and next more probable than not are the last months of the last bubble in this 25 year leg of the long term economic cycle.  When equities begin to slide this Fall, they will hunt up and down sporadically as the chaos deepens through 2005.  Absolute Bottom will be found in 2006 or in 2007 and a very slow increase (not driven by Bull speculation) will probably begin to manifest in 2008.  In the interim period, most of the “Fortune 500” will disappear in their current form and their remnants will reappear as vastly different companies..

 

LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF AUGUST 11, 2004:  Once again, the Collapse 2006 book TRACKS the unfolding real dynamics, except that the forecasted events are tending to manifest three to fours months earlier.  All economic indicators for this July 2004 are DOWN except of course the BIG ONE is UUUUUP (you know what it is, don’t you?).  Yes of course, OIL is climbing rapidly, partly based on a 34% increase this year in world demand created largely in ASIA.  The progressive devaluation of the PETRO DOLLAR is now unfolding rapidly, despite the best expressed intentions of the House of Saud to hold dollar price stability for their partners, the Bush Family.

 

LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF JULY 21, 2004 – Several important  economic factors and/or indicators are now declining – IF TWO MORE MONTHS OF DECLINES ARE FOUND IN THE KEY FACTORS,  IT WILL BE MORE PROBABLE THAN NOT THAT THE DJI HAS PEAKED AND IS NOW HEADED PROGRESSIVELY DOWN.  ACCORDINGLY, SEPTEMBER 2004 WILL REVEAL WHETHER THE 25 YEAR ECONOMIC DECLINE HAS FINALLY HIT.  IF THE MESSAGE IS “YES”, the Kerry-Edwards ticket most likely will win decisively and the Republican control of Congress most likely will be “cracked”.  But there is room for considerable movement in all positions among large numbers of people and it is clear that many events in this fast-paced, unpredictable year could deflect ALL expectations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOUSEKEEPING

 

Some portions of this week’s update was prepared one day early on Tuesday, August 17, others one day later than usual, on August 19.

 

MANDEVILLE IS ON THE RADIO EVERY WEDNESDAY WITH

Alex Merklinger (Millennium Radio) show at 6 PM Arizona Time (also 6 PM Pacific Daylight Saving Time).   Regular Weekly Update For The Earth Changes Bulletin.  To find Iway archives and stations, see Millennium Radio Network

 

 

 

Begin Synopsis

 

 As stated in the “Coming Economic Collapse of 2006”, the nature of human politics reflects the communication abilities of the human species.  As we transform the media, as we have been on the Iway, we will transform human politics and the entire Earth.  Making the way for the New Earth is operationally equivalent to making a new Media on the Iway. Not that that is all that there is to it.  Not by a long shot…but IT IS one of the essentials we need to dissolve the blockages and dance around the tyrannies.

 

 

SPIRITUAL WATCH

How to converge and express the spirit of mass transformation into manifestation, HOW to be, IS the question. How to do is the praxis of the time.  Examining this question, probing it, is the chief trendline of this year.

 

A great turning towards peace is underway in the hearts and minds of a great mass of humanity, EVEN AS the merchants of dominance, hate,  revenge, and violence appear to crow even more loudly on the world stage or can be found eagerly arranging a major increase in the tempo of bombs explosions to murder and maime even more people.   A consciousness is gathering greater focus to dissolve away the entire Bush-Alqaeda continuum of absolutism and militarism and replace its brutalities with profound movement en masse towards peaceful solutions.

 

Look for it.  Greet it.  Nourish it with love.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED: 

 

BREATH FREE. Let go of everything which is disturbed, distorted, or weird.  Let go of everything which is forced, contrived, hidden, manipulative, and/or constrictive. Keep flowing with the rising tide of spiritual energies which are filling many thirsty souls.  The old patterns are falling away.  Transition continues. Embrace new relationships which are trying to form in your life if they are honest and straightforward and provide a new openness. Forget the fears of the unknown, embrace all that which lifts your life into the light of a greater understanding and relationship with the all.

 

EVERYTHING IS WORKING OUT DIFFERENTLY THAN PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY FEARING OR PROJECTING.  IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE SO.  In a short while, some will come forth giving witness to a great energy which has come into their lives, literally, as if the hand of God was upon them.  This is becoming more and more apparent and these words will have greater meaning by the end of the year.

 

 

 

The “Great Purification” predicted by the Hopi, Maya, Q’ero, and many others continues.  How amazing that these ancient oral traditions could tune into last year and this one to advise us that this was a period of profound historical turning involving

The Great Purification

of the Earth? For additional discussion, see the commentary of May 19, 2004 and the commentary of June 16, 2004.

 

THE NEW BASIS IS GESTATING….

THE time to link the spiritual communities of the Earth. The Whole Earth. IT HAS BECOME URGENT TO LINK THE SPIRITUAL COMMUNITIES WITHIN A BROAD MOVEMENT WHICH PROVIDES NEW CURRENTS OF SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP.

 

 

FOR THE MOST PART: Steady as she goes. A slow acceleration in the shifting of the poles has been underway for perhaps the past 100 years and the last three decades has shown an increase in the rate of acceleration.  This has appeared to accelerate even more during the past decade.

 

 

POLAR MOTION

What is happening to the motion of the Earth. For the overall summary of the status of polar motion CLICK HERE.  To see the current graphs of polar motion, CLICK HERE. Scroll down the page until you get to the black and white graphs with show the x and y coordinates of the North Spin Axis on two separate graphs.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED:

The Y Max point, reported three weeks ago, has been passed and the North Spin Axis appears to moving fairly normally after giving us a bumpy peak.

 

AS OBSERVED IN PRIOR WEEKS:  We have passed the “Y Max” last week. Y Max is the point in the spiral track of the North Spin Axis when it is moving as far to the left on the XY chart of polar motion which is maintained by the IERS agency in France.  “Y Max” is where the North Spin Axis is titled as far as it can go towards North America down Longitude West 90.   The motion towards “Y Max” may have caused the increased movement of the North American Tectonic Plate to produce the interesting quake activity of the previous weeks.

 

As the Spin Axis begins its return towards the X Axis, the seismic activity may mirror what happened as it was moving outwards.  This may occur during the next Full Moon or New Moon in September.

MAGNETIC POLES – SHIFTING

What is happening to the magnetic fields of the Earth.  No real change during the past year:  a magnetic pole shift is not something to be very concerned about within this decade at least.

 

Currently, there is little of note.  Despite many claims, there are no apparent trends which will hold up to historical analysis of many different regions of the Earth.

 

 

 

 

Asteroids

As of June 04,

NASA’S

ESTIMATE:

“Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs  (asteroids) are on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time.”

 

 

PLANETS & ALIGNMENTS
(all time coordinates here and elsewhere are in UTC unless otherwise noted, dates for planetary alignments are derived from Home Planet Software using PC graphics, due to limitations of software and graphics display, actual timing may be off as much as three days, for scientific work, use a professional ephemeris for exact dates).  For background and the current information on planetary alignments go to the Earth Changes Almanac Calendar.  The Almanac lays out the planets and the lunar phases for entire year in advance to allow you to find the best and worst periods of weather, earthquake activity, ethereal “lunar” influences, etc.

For the remainder of 2004, see the August 25 EC Update

 

TODAY’S MOON

 

We are still in Lunation #1010 with the next New Moon on September 14 at 14:28 UTC.  As of September Day 8, the Moon this day is North of the Equator (in its North Node) 24 days past the New Moon.  It is now approximately 405,000 KM from the Earth. It is still 29% of the Full Moon (visibility or phase).  The next Perigee is Sept 22, about 5 and a half days before the next Full Moon.

 

SEISMIC SYZYGY WINDOWS

 

Since September 8 is the Apogee of the Moon, seismic activity should null out at the lowest levels through to about September 11.  Thereafter, seismic activity should gradually pick up in tempo and magnitudes through to September 16, hold steady or dip for a few days, then increase suddenly on about September 20 through to September 24 for the Perigee, thereafter dip again, and then perhaps increase somewhat once again for the Full Moon on September 28.  September’s seismic activity should be somewhat weaker over all than August’s.  The next two strongest seismic syzygies for 2004 will be the New Moon of November 12 (Perigee within less than two days) and December 12 (Perigee within 20 hours).

 

For describing the peak danger periods for the most damaging earthquakes. these Perigee syzygies I will define arbitrarily as

 

November 10 – November 16

 

December 10 – December 15

 

Jim Berkland, the originator of using syzygy to define the most active periods of seismic activity has a more complex method for computing dates and you may want to use his methods for greater precision.  For details see the Syzygy website  

 

(Perigee = the Moon’s closest approach to the Earth during its monthly orbit which increases gravitational influence of the Moon by as much as 15%; Apogee = the Moon’s greatest distance from the Earth during its monthly orbit).   (Berkland has a more complex formula for syzygy and his dates are often different.)  For details see the Syzygy website.

 

THE NEXT PLANETARY ALIGNMENTS

For any “Home Planet Software” charts of the planets which are shown here or through URLS which are provided on this page, you can decipher which planet is which by counting the orbital rings if you do not know the signs which denote the planets. Mercury is 1 closest to the Sun, Venus is 2, Earth is 3, Mars is 4, Jupiter is 5, Saturn is 6, Uranus is 7, Neptune is 8, Pluto is 9, and both Planet X and Nibiru are bogus.

 

The three closest inner planets have been and will be in very close angles to each other Mercury will align with Venus on September 8.

 

LIST OF ALIGNMENTS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2004

 

September 8, 2004

Mercury | Venus
Most of the planets in general now begin breaking apart widely, the "Summer Knot" become  untied. From About September 10 onwards,  Mars and Jupiter will be in a slow forming virtual alignment

***September 28, 2004

***Mars is in near alignment with Jupiter as Mercury catches up to form a nearly a straight alignment with Mercury, within 5 degrees, with all other planets widely dispersed
***October 1, 2004

***Mercury | Mars | Jupiter perfected

 

PLANETARY ALIGNMENTS FOR THE NEXT 10 MONTHS

For the next 10 months, four particular periods stand out for their potential to induce major reactions in the solar atmosphere and pull out huge ionic storms, high sunspot counts, and major effects on the Earth’s weather.

 

The Summer Knot  July 27 through September 8

 

Major ups and downs in the sunspot counts, at least three major storm fronts betwixt now and September 15 or so.

 

The Triple Whammy September Surprise September 28, 2004 - October 1, 2004

 

Mercury | Mars | Jupiter in a triple alignment

Spots peak about the Fall Equinox and Weather turns into chaos by about October 1, followed by extreme Fall flooding by the middle of October in the usual places.

 

The Apogee Six Way Cluster Bomb

 

At or near the Earth’s Apogee (closest approach to the Sun) Mercury will once again align progressively with the inner planets during a 30 day period.  Expect an INTENSELY STORMY WINTER.

December 30, 2004  Mercury | Jupiter
Venus and Mars still close and Earth near Saturn alignment
January 13, 2005  Mercury & Mars close couple to
Venus | Pluto and Earth | Saturn
January 27, 2005  Mercury | Venus with Pluto close couple

 

The Spring Grand Alignment

Jupiter | Earth | Mercury | Sun | Venus

 

Beginning by about March 7, at least major peaks in the sunspot count should produce three major waves of early Spring storm fronts.  The largest peak should form up about the Spring Equinox and the largest storm front should blow in about the time of the Grand Alignment

 

March 14, 2005  Mercury | Saturn
Spring Alignments begin in three main spirals
March 21,2005  Mars | Pluto with a spiral forming in
Mercury | Earth | Jupiter and another in Venus | Uranus
March 30, 2005 Jupiter | Earth | Mercury | Sun | Venus
form a virtual straight line through the solar system with Mars and Pluto still closely coupled. Observers on Earth will only be able to physically see Jupiter rising on the Eastern horizon just after sunset and Saturn close to the Mid-heavens in the Western half of the sky. In the very early morning Mars and Uranus visible

 

Summer Ping Pong

 

June 7, 2005  Venus | Saturn with Mercury moving up in close alignment, followed on June 10 , 2005 with Mercury forming a triplet with Venus and Saturn as Earth couples with Pluto and
Mars | Neptune.  The timing of these alignments between these planets is not exact, the electromagnetic balances of the solar system will shift in a complex way, probably producing a number of ups and downs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PLANET WATCHING  

For background and the current information on observable planets.

 

 

 

 

 

SUNSPOTS

The events in the solar atmosphere which impact weather and climate patterns, the magnetic field and auroras, including forecasts for the week, month, and year ahead. CLICK HERE for background information.  

To follow the numbers below, click here to view the Solar Cycle 23 Chart. Or, get the data in a NOAA Table.

 

The Sunspot Count on September 7 was 95 AND RISING RAPIDLY after climbing steadily from 11 on August 31.  The Solar Flux rose from 87 to reach 120 on September 7 AND IT IS STILL RISING RAPIDLY.

 

Date        Flux   Sunspots  Area

2004 09 01   90     12      180     

2004 09 02   94     25      260     

2004 09 03   97     25      270     

2004 09 04   99     28      390     

2004 09 05  103     59      340      

2004 09 06  107     82      390     

2004 09 07  119     95      480     

 

MORE PROBABLE THAN NOT:  Spots and flux counts will rise at least for today.  After that it is the cosmic wheel of destiny for the next additional few days.  Peak could be well over 150 today, tomorrow, or the next.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY PREDICTED:  the alignment on September 8, 2004 between Mercury | Venus should bring another high spike in the Sunspot Count, at least as high as 160.  This peak should form up about September One and bring late Summer storms no later than September 10.

 

AS WE CAN SEE, this sunspot peak formed up relatively late for the planetary alignment of Mercury | Venus.  Since the nominal date of the alignment may be “off” by as much as two days (due to computational and display limitations of “Home Planet Software”, the peak could form up anytime during the next five days and be within the general pattern of timing correlation which we have seen many times this past couple of years.

 

MONTHLY AVERAGES IN SOLAR CYCLE 23
These numbers are reported by Jan Alvestad

Over all, the sunspot average count (ISSN) for February 2004 was 46.0. March 2004  was even higher with the ISSN average count at 48.9  April’s count was radically lower at 39.3.  The May 2004 average count of 41.5 was SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN in April.  June 2004 was higher still with an average count of 43.2. and July took as even higher to an average count of 51.  August’s count dropped the average to 40, which returns us to the point on the general curve which we reached during April 2004.

 

 

 

 

SOLAR ACTIVITY

As reported by NASA/NOAA unless otherwise stated.  (Sudden surprises and huge storms are always possible even during sunspot minima periods such as the one we are currently headed into).  Descriptions and numbers are based on numbers as given by iway sources at about 1:00 – 3:00 PM Arizona Mountain Time (which does not have daylight savings time).

 

The Solar Wind was robust at 382.3 km/s this day while pushing a density of 0.8 protons/cm3”.   

 

General consensus: some volatility, more expected

 

The Fluxgate Chart at the University of Alaska (which measures magnetic disturbances in the Earth’s atmosphere created by solar winds and ion storms) showed only a couple of relatively small disturbance today in a solar sea which is composed of very small chops defining a long plateau. (as of this time, about 2 PM Mountain time US). To see the Fluxgate moment to moment, CLICK HERE.

 

NASA AURORA WATCH: NASA reminds us “Northern autumn is the best time of year for geomagnetic storms and auroras. And even though it's still summer in the northern hemisphere, some beautiful auroras have already appeared over Alaska… Earth is inside a weak solar wind stream flowing...”

 

NASA PREDICTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 8:  During the next 24/48 hours, probability for an M-class solar flare is at 15% and for an X-class solar flare is at 1%, with a generally 5% to 30% probability for minor to severe geomagnetic disturbances during the next 24/48 hours, depending upon latitude (higher the latitude, higher the probability). 

 

Jan Alvestad reports:  “The geomagnetic field was quiet to active on September 7. Solar wind speed ranged between 412 and 495 km/sec under the influence of a fairly low speed stream from coronal hole CH112...Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 118.9. The planetary A index was 16 (STAR Ap - based on the mean of three hour interval ap indices: 16.1)...At midnight there were 3 spotted regions on the visible disk. The solar flare activity level was low. A total of 2 C class events was recorded during the day...One or perhaps two closely spaced regions are approaching the northeast limb and could rotate into view late today or tomorrow. M class flares are possible...September 5-7: No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed. A full halo CME was observed after the C2 event behind the northeast limb on September 7...A recurrent coronal hole (CH112) in the northern hemisphere was in a geoeffective position on September 3-6.”

 

Jan Alvestad predicts:  “The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on September 8-10 with the possibility of a few active intervals on September 8 due to coronal hole effects.“  Alvestad also predicts a 0% probability of coronal holes, a 0% probability of CME’s, and a 20% probability of M and/or X Class Flares.

 

 

 

 

 

WORLD WEATHER SUMMARY

Those who have been following the patterns have seen that the correlations between sunspot peaks and major storm fronts coming in off the oceans to track across the continents is roughly pretty good, sometimes very much exactly on the mark.  Accordingly, our “sloppycasts” (approximate continental weather patterns) this past few years have proven out to be fairly worthwhile.

 

 

CONDITIONS WILL GATHER GREATER FORCE AS SUNSPOTS CLIMB,

 

FRANCES MAY JUST BE THE FORERUNNER OF WHAT IS TO COME WITH IVAN.

 

MAJOR STORM FRONTS AND EXTENSIVE FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED IN MANY AREAS FROM ABOUT SEPTEMBER 12 THROUGH TO SEPTEMBER 20.

 

WE CERTAINLY CALLED THIS CORRECTLY FOR THE U.S. AND JAPAN:  AS OBSERVED LAST MONTH:  weather patterns are tweaked out into chaotic extremes which fit no averages or generalities.  Forget predictions, expect anything.  THIS CONDITION WILL PERSIST THROUGH SEPTEMBER, CHAOS ALTERNATING WITH PERIODS OF CALMING. CONSIDER THIS STILL ON AS THE STAND PAT PREDICTION OF SEPTEMBER 2004..

 

EARTH WEATHER PREDICTION FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS

(Northern Hemisphere) This “sloppycast” is based on sunspot counts, planetary alignments, and visual data shown on satellite and radar.

 

BEWARE HURRICANE IVAN

This is more probable than not a Category Five Grand Slam into the Jamaica, Cuba, and thence up into the Gulf States or into Florida as a Category Four or Three.  LIKE FRANCES, THIS HURRICANE IS OF RECORD-BREAKING SIZE AND WILL DROP A PRODIGIOUS AMOUNT OF WATER.

 

WATCH THE SUNSPOTS, ON WHICH ALL THINGS IN THE WEATHER TURN.  IF THE NUMBER GOES UP AGAIN FOR TODAY AND FOR TOMORROW, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SPENDING TIME ANYWHERE ELSE BUT FLORIDA.

 

STAND PAT:  IS ANY PATTERN ANYWHERE NORMAL?  Nope.   I can’t keep up with it and therefore won’t.  MORE OF THE SAME.   No predictions will call the tune for any area.  More extremes during the next 30 days will be quite “normal”.

 

EARTH WEATHER PREDICTION FOR FALL SEASON

(Northern Hemisphere) This “sloppycast” is based on sunspot counts, planetary alignments, and visual data shown on satellite and radar.

 

WILD AND WOOLY:  The output of the Sun is currently too volatile and unpredictable to give very good predictions.  Accordingly, expect 50% probability of anything.
