Stupendous Wave Barmouth Wales 3 Jan. Moral Don't sit beside the sea during a WeatherAction R5+ storm even if MetOffice didnt expect that much 

On 03 Jan 2014, shaun faulkner wrote in blog below
"Had to go back to net weather just to point out to those enquiring about your success. After suggesting using this recent storm prediction as a test of your performance... that despite all the naysayers. You were right again while MO didnt have this storm yesterday morning. 
WA comm: ie MetO 1day ahead forecast did not have storm of Jan3. 
Which net weather users were delighted to point out their models had no evidence of such a storm and considering how soon it was supposed to be they wrote ur predictions off as dramatic headlines. Even regular posters here saying ah well piers cant get it right all the time. 
Seems to me this storm today is in your give or take 2 day time frame of new year**. 
Serious lightning and hail here in south wales today. More heavy rain too with some powerful gusts of wind. Awesome Piers
**WA Note: THANKS SHAUN! The R5+ 31st-2nd+/-1d includes 3rd or as you say that gives 1Jan NYDay +/2d for a substantial storm which is what happened.

Piers says: "Thanks, Shaun, Craig, Matthew and all for monitorings and comms. As Craig's piece below showed the MetO expectation was top gusts 50-60mph ~1st (that might have been upped later of course as 'maybes' but we are talking main printed contentions here when MetO had something to say compared with what WA had said WEEKS before).  
Blog reports below and Twitter feed reports @Piers_Corbyn and some copied below show MetO winds were substantially topped as we warned they would be both in the R5+ (1st+/-2d in extended form BOTH on 1st Jan and 3rd Jan) and the R4 before 29-30th Dec +/-1d. 
"We've had tremendous feedback on this storm period, which is another triumph for WeatherAction. Not only were our wind warnings Br+Ir a stunning success but also all our solar + geophysical forecasts were confirmed in this R4-R5 pair top Red periods: - Extra active earth facing sunspots amd Coronal hole, aurora, and major quake-volcano events. The extreme local turbulance (quasi tornadic events) high gustiness, ferocious waves, large (on English measures) hail was also significant especially on 3rd which is very pleasing. 
Our 45d ahead prospect for more N'ly flow & snow ~1Jan  was, on 30th, withdrawn (for 1st) and postponed till later and not in 30d forecast where an extra column of comment and Auroa-solar news was inserted to explain why. 
A couple of blog comments which don't seem to be aware of this - which was blog posted as information here first -  and/or which give away or imply things about future forecast content have not been published.
"As we warned snow will come soon."

(Effects of) R5+ (31st-2Jan +/-1day) continue 
Snowmageddon USA and Rainmageddon UK & Eire continue:
  • Earth is still in fast solar wind blast from Coronal Hole (3 Jan Pic below ) which was Earth facing ~1Jan in middle of R5+
  • MORE FEROCIOUS EXTREME damaging wind and rain/snow storms now heading for Ir+Br & NW Europe and USA (Snowmageddon) 3rd and 4th Jan.  These events should be considered as part of R5+ (highest possible danger) 31Dec-Jan2(+/-1day) and are likley to be as intense and damaging as our Oct 28th Br+Ir+ Eu storm but note storm tracks not the same.
  • UK Govt holds weather emergency 'Cobra' meeting but do not invite WeatherAction - preferring to not know what will develop and the public to suffer rather than put the noses of Met Office - BBC - CO2 warmist sect out of joint. Meanwhile Piers Corbyn is getting more and more invitations to Radio interviews on the storms and what next.
    • Piers says: The situation is insane. Standard meteorology cannot cope with what is going on. The MetO have - as we warned - consistently underestimated storm dangers in our R5 and R4 periods and we can give a clear view on where this is all leading and for how long. Despite their 'concerns' about green energy surcharges (aka theft) the govt continue with the CO2 green lie. They have only shifted the green energy theft into taxation and in reality don't care about the ongoing public suffering in these storms. If they did they would involve WeatherAction NOW to get a better measure of reality and take legal action against electricity companies failures to re-connect electricity in good time, end the nasty behind the scenes subsidy arrangements they have with them on handouts to better-off housholds for self-serving green measures, and indeed end all green surgcharges AND TAXES now"
  • ANOTHER group of savage solar active region (AR1944...pic below Jan 3) now emerging which will become Earth-Facing ~Jan 10th (weather period 7-12th)  marking WeatherAction's next R5.  The Met Office - BBC havn't got a clue about the significance of this, do not want to know and do not want the public to know. WeatherAction subscribers to Br+Ir, Eu and USA forecasts ALREADY KNOW.
    • The new very large and deep Atlantic Low heading for Br+Ir in current standard models for ~7th or 8th or 9th is part of this serious time window 7-12th. In view of public speculation subscribers will get an update comment soon on this storm prior to WeatherAction further public comments.
  • One would have thought the crane blowing onto the Cabinet Office roof in Piers' Oct 28th storm (predicted 23 weeks ahead*)  which the MO underestimated in strength would be a 'wake-up call'. 
  

2 JAN 2014 HAPPY NEW YEAR and Best wishes to all!
Thank you for all support and feedback in 2013. We have made great advances last year and with your backing we will make more in 2014, Thank you! 

As can be seen from twitter @Piers_Corbyn and other reports; WeatherAction solar, auroral, stratospheric warming and weather event forecasts are going very well in this first weather period of the year 1-3Jan - which overlaps / extends last period of 2013 and includes the very important R5~31st to Jan 2. 
  • Note the X-ray and proton flux graphs below are auto-updating and show a major increase in Solar Flare activity - on the edge of X flare level from late on 31st and on 1 Jan
  • Further extra warming of parts of Upper stratosphere and wave pattern confirmed 1 Jan - in line with WeatherAction trial for main effect ~ 28Dec - 1Jan
  • Amazing twitter feed confirmations coming in of N/E USA  Snowmageddon WeatherAction warnings in our extension of last period 2013 to First period 2014 (1-3Jan) - see loaded USA forecast. R5+ ~31st Dec - 2nd Jan 
  • Top winds in Eire+Brit 1 Jan exceeded MetO as WA warned and higher winds still likely in R5+ / weather period 1-3rd Jan 

Antarctic Too much Ice Crisis News:

The Green Fools are fleeing! So when will the grip of the ice loosen? - See below 

Embedded image permalink

Piers says "The Ice will weaken as winds change in WeatherAction's next big circulation change which is around ~17JAN so maybe by 20th or so they could have another go at getting the ship(s) out. We base this estimate on the fact that the world weather system is just that - a world system. Major changes in the NH circulation and Jet stream have correspondences in the SH. [Follow reports from our New Zealand & Australian subscribers and you can see that]. Subscribers to WeatherAction Eu /Br+Ir or USA will have noticed major changes in circulation through 17-20th and I estimate it is 80% likely this also means DIFFERENT winds in Antarctica which should do the business. 

Of course when this happens the Warmist liars in BBC and the intellectually strained Independent, Guardian and New York Times will doubtless say the wind change is a sign of their lost Global Warming cause being redeemed. 

I urge all who support evidence-based science and accountable policies THIS YEAR to give these fraudsters, spongers and thieves NO QUARTER WHATSOEVER. We have to make 2014 so uncomforable for them and their lie machine that they would wish they could return to the sanctuary of an ice-bound ship or a Russian jail to escape the wrath of the people who are now suffering - and some dieing - under rising fuel charges and hiked food prices and taxes which are a direct consequence of the insane policies these green parasites have foisted upon the world".

PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS FORECAST AND COMMENT WITH ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Thank you.



30 Dec 19:30hrs
New Years Day and thenabouts - Piers
Subscribers are wondering so this is to let you know that our first period in Jan 45d has been changed*** in some aspects in transfer to 30d and nothing else in Jan has changed. We are not in the business of short range forecasts but we can apply solar factors to MO short range models and/or - in this case - modify emphasis on aspects of our long range forecast in this particular time window (1-3 Jan). 

(added 2 Jan) ***THE change reduced Br+Ir Northerly flow and snow risk in 1-3rd - but NOT reducing snow risk to zero - and kept serious storm warning and all those upper atmosphere and solar event forecasts (ALL being confirmed). 
There is still snow to come in January and specifically as the general cooling we expected in the first few days of Jan Br+Ir (Full 30d forecast) takes hold some snow (other than Scottish mountain snow) is likely in later R%+ related storm waves in 1-3rd Weather period and MO maps are now suggesting this posibility.

Guest Current Weather Commentary from CraigM350
(see also User Comms entries below main BlogPost)
FEATURED

A Stormy New Year then Snow?

The purpose of this post is to show things as they stand ahead of a very active period of weather, which subscribers to Weather Action have know of since mid November. Piers Corbyn said

falls in our new R5+ period [top level warning] so we expect it will be more significant and potentially damaging [intense] compared with normal conditions than the storm of 23-24th Dec for example and we expect significant snow [Northerly flow] in it’s wake


Piers says: I recommend Craig's piece. There wil be further comms in the 30d Jan forecast on early Jan. Right now it is very pleasing that our warned (from 6 weeks ago) increase in solar activity has come on cue and extensive aurora are now deemed likely by short term solar observers  ~2-3 Jan so watch out for breaks in the Northern night sky.

Piers says "On 28th around 2pm The MetOffice showed, on BBC News 24, a new Low heading for SW Eire and said they didnt expect it to be as significant as recent Lows. However it falls in our new R5period so we expect it will be more significant and potentially damaging compared with normal conditions than the storm of 23-24th Dec for example and we expect significant snow in it's wake".

Special Extra item from Piers Corbyn added at front end of this Storm blogPost

WHY ARE WE GETTING ALL THESE STORMS?
Prepare for even more dangerous storm events including 'smowmageddon conditions' in parts of Britain / Ireland and Europe!
"December has been unusually stormy, as predicted in our WeatherAction forecast, in Britain+Ireland, parts of Europe and USA (also as we predicted) and around the world. 
The reason is certain persistent solar influences and their lunar modulation - specifically a swarm of Top Red, R4 and R5, weather action periods which have covered a much higher propertion of the month (~2/3) than normal and the very active and wild Jet stream which is also related to the greater incidence of R4s and R5s and the Mini Ice Age circulation patterns now dominating the world.  
The R periods and wild behavior of the Jet Stream are driven from above and are associated with extra and extreme changes in electrical and magnetic activity above the stratosphere and in the ionosphere and the solar wind of charged particles coming from the sun and events on the sun itself**
[**Note Ideas such as 'temperature contrasts drive the Jet Stream' are totally inadequate to explain or predict events. Such a picture cannot explain the relationship between Earth weather and events in the ionosphere, magnetosphere, the solar wind and on the sun and the simultaneity of extreme storm events across earth and their ~coincidence with (radio) storms on other planets. Indeed such a low-level Earth atmospere centred view, notwithstanding certain feedbacks, is akin to suggesting the movement of tree braches causes winds.]

This extreme agitation of the atmosphere and increasing storminess is NOT going to go away but will increase again along with extra solar activity, and auroral displays particularly around the turn of the month and again in January.
Extreme and dangerous weather is predicted by WeatherAction's Solar Lunar equations particularly from around Dec 31st to Jan 2nd (an R5period) {as WeatherAction forecast 6 weeks ahead and is in 30/45d forecasts}.
This will include severe storm force damaging winds (Force 11) in Northern and Western parts - gusts of 90-100mph and more - with blizzard or 'snowmageddon conditions' in Scotland and North parts of England, Wales and Ireland likely, more flooding, and wind driven North Sea storm surge threats to English and Dutch North Sea coasts in the wake of the storm (enhanced by New moon 1st Jan).
Further information about January is in the 45d forecast.
Thank You"

Xmas day Report and Re-warning:
AMAZING! match between WeatherAction Forecast 6 weeks ahead for ~27th Dec and Met Office short range.
"This storm is in another of our Red Warning R4 periods. This will be big and dangerous - with STRONGER WINDS THAN METO WILL EXPECT FROM eg 26th. There is more to come after this one too", said Piers Corbyn astrophysicist WeatherAction, on 24/25 Dec.

WeatherAction detailed forecast issued on 14 Nov for the period 25-27th Dec said 

Likely possible weather map scenario: 
Deep Atlantic 'dartboard low' heads for Scotland probably passing over on ~27th.....

YOU NEED to subscribe to WeatherAction if you dont already! 



24th Comment Brit+Ire+Eu
Forecast users will have noticed that while our forecast for ~21-24th Dec (LOW confidence, 70%) correctly predicted very mild conditions Br+Ir and less mild later in N/W, the winds were underestimated. 
Nevertheless (and well done Rohan winter subscriber, Croydon - see Comms previous blog) forecast users applied the WeatherAction Rule that WHATEVER the forecast outcome detail in an R4 or R5 the standard Met forecast winds will need enahncing - That was confirmed.

What are WeatherAction Long Range forecasts?
WeatherAction Long-Range forecasts are entirely different from all others.
They are produced using scientific advances in understanding predictable aspects of particle-magnetic effects from the sun which, along with lunar factors, change world weather systems in ways which have generally happened before. Through this approach WeatherAction can predict many key changes on the sun and associated changes in circulation, the Jet Stream and weather events with independently proven skill and unrivaled reliability (See Forecasts/ Accuracy button). Standard Meteorological approaches of forward projection of the present state of the atmosphere acting upon itself fail beyond a week or so ahead because they ignore external solar influences and so will never succeed.  

WeatherAction LongRange forecasts are not 'early' substitutes for short range forecasts.  
They are intended to help decision making well ahead of events for which advance planning, like booking harvest machinery or gaining advance knowledge of likely energy prices, is a NECESSITY - in situations for which short range forecasts would be too late.
For this reason WeatherAction does not normally give detailed Short Range updates because such are 'too late' for the use of subscribers; although for major events we do comment on how short range standard meteorology forecasts are likely to be in error on occasions. FOR MORE SEE AN EARLIER BLOG:

Hi Piers As Dermot from Tasmania said it would be great to have a Australia New Zealand weather action forecast. I know farmers here would subscribe by the hundreds if you could help. Currently New South Wales and Queensland are in a terrible drought. The drought is effecting farmers around here I live with cattle being shot because no feed and no water.Some farmers are shooting their cattle and then themselves.I subscribe as a believer in you.

Frosty morning, temp -1˚C at 7.30, not a breath of wind under clear sky and sunshine until about 10.30 then cloud moving in gradually from the W, cold SW wind picking up, slight rain starting around 4pm. This got more intensive and by 7pm it was lashing and went on into the night, temp stayed at 5˚C most of the day, then rose to 6˚ by 10pm.

Asim depending where cold comes from affects who gets snow. In 2012 the S/SE saw snow & freezing conditions whilst the rest not so. S does best from continental sourced air (often from Siberia) rather than more Northerly (Arctic).. Much depends on the source of the cold winds - even a NW can bring snow if the polar air is cold enough or if the precipitation is strong enough. But as to what is coming you have to SUBSCRIBE +++ Quite a few model members going for a pattern change around a week's time. Cold is in the mix and almost all models are going for a drop in temps (n.b. to avg/below av) only a small percentage go for something of note but the signal is growing slowly. The strat warmings are moderate but could well throw something in the mix as the core of the polar vortex gets put under pressure and not only moves but is stretched (think of a bath water going down plughole is a vortex-subject to waves when you jump in the water=change of shape+location)

Another day of grey skies and rain on the Downs. The strong wind was absent this time. The wet weather has left a legacy as the railway embankment has collapsed at Ockley on the line between Dorking and Horsham.

Piers - very windy here. Gusts to 165kmh this week. Need your media input in Australia. Look at this from today's Sydney Morning Herald: David Jones, head of climate analysis at the Bureau of Meteorology, said 2013 record temperatures are a clear signal of climate change. ''If you took away the global warming trend, we probably could not have seen a year this high,'' Jones said late last month. Karoly agrees. None of the simulations of nine major models generating 13,000 years of natural variability produced the record temperatures without an increase in greenhouse gases. ''In simulations for the period of 2006 to 2020 with natural variability and human influences, including increases in greenhouse gases, such records occur approximately once in every 10 years,'' Karoly said. ''Hence, this record could not occur due to natural variability alone and is only possible due to the combination of greenhouse climate change and natural variability on Australian average temperatures

There were frequent heavy showers overnight but by the time I left for the station it was blue sky but a biting wind. Blue sky over London until lunchtime with the wind picking up to blow strongly enough to howl at the windows. Not gusts but long spells of wind. Then the rain poured down before then turning to hail. Passed fairly quick and was the start of numerous blustery showers all over London. Very much colder than yesterday. I note that the solar wind speed is still up so more of the same to come until it subsides to its resting speed.

Hi Piers, Just my own observations but it looks like a similar January to last year in terms of timings i.e. Jan 2013 had an R5+ sometime during 17th – 20th preceded by an SSW.

Dittos on UV x-ray blast observations. Informal blog discussions with solar scientist Dr. Leif Svalgaard reveal mainstream doubts (or won't admit?) x-ray blasts contribute significantly to TSI measurements. My investigations thus far cast serious doubts on TSI capacity to capture all solar activity in solar "constant" data sets. If people across the world observe a short-term UV warmth blast, get a mild tan from it, but scientists say it isn't measureable - I have a problem with that. Short of attributing motive, this needs further examination. Active region 1944 may very likely give us another opportunity to register more UV blasts on Earth from x-ray flares, so if people could pay attention for the next 10 days and see if it happens again, we could contribute to a deeper understanding of transient solar activity. Recent USA weather maps and conditions - extreme cold/snow - were precisely foretold by Piers, which ought to be pretty mind-blowing to the uninformed, you'd think.

BTW "No Quarter" is part of the message of my new "The Electric Weather Channel" YT video out soon - are we not on the same page? It's time for the world to turn the page and terminate CAGW forever as it is an invalid premise without predictive power. When the dust clears, the warmists will have a lot of long-delayed soul searching ahead of them. For 10 years I have worked towards a thorough understanding of electric weather, thinking I was the only one in the world who knew about this, until I found WeatherAction. A realization came upon me in early December 2013 that I did not discover electric & magnetic weather effects caused by solar action, Piers Corbyn did.
