Early July: Heatwave Potential

I think the problem some had is they hadn't to work outside in the heat and full glare of the sun, remember it is the temperature in the shade that is measured.
It has been a killer, will be happy to get things back to normal, and if cold out, then just do some exercise and work up a sweat
It did cool down on the 15th and it was lovely, won't miss oppressive heat.
Some will miss it but each to their own. I just want some thunderstorms and the source of life...some water to fall.
I know one elderly person who went to the doctor as they were feeling ill, it was the effects of the heat.
Sky news says 650 people have died in heat related deaths so far over there so far, 41% in the London area.
It will be nice to have temps just reaching the low 20s.0 -

2011 he predicted a summer, but we had Volcano events during the summer of 2011 in Iceland and Africa which undoubtedly effected the weather for the summer of 2011
If you can find more predictions from him for 2006 to 2008 do post.
He is selling on his website a spreadsheet that will tell you exactly what the weather will be like on any given day of the year up to 2019 (for a couple of hundreds bucks) which he worked out by looking at the Moon:
If he could do that then he should have been able to work out when a volcano would erupt by looking at Saturn or Mars or the bottom of a stone in a field, because both methods involve the same level of logic.
Not that it would have mattered, because the eruptions of Grimsvotn and Nabro certainly didn't have any major impact on the climate. The last eruption that had an impact on the climate was the massive Pinatubo eruption in 1991 (a VEI 6) which released the most SO2 since Krakatoa. Pinatubo resulted in a temperature drop of just half of 1 degree. Are you seriously trying to tell me that the much smaller eruptions of Nabro and Grimsvotn in 2011 had so much of an impact that it resulted in Ireland having it's coldest summer in 50 years? Because if that was the case the summer after Pinatubo erupted in 1991 should have been the coldest summer since the last Ice Age here.
But whats the point in arguing? How can someone believe in the science of SO2 from eruptions blocking solar radiation but also believe that a lad in New Zealand can look at the Moon and tell you what the weather will be like on the 23 of March 2018 in Ireland, for a fee of course (unless you get to hear it on the radio or in the tabloids promoting his subscription based website).0 -

It's a shame that it seems it will be going out with a whimper instead of a bang too, as the models are showing the most of the energy for thunderstorms next week shifting eastwards to Wales and England, away from us.
Agreed Maq, Its been an amazing spell. Today was our 14th day over 23c in a row of which 12 have been 25 or above. It could be a long while before we see stats like that again. It would have been great to end it on a high with some massive storms but i guess we can't have our cake and eat it too
A big thanks to you Maq for all your posts during the spell. They have been very informative and educational.0 -

I've debated this with other folks already. and certainly don't want to go over this again.
Nabro and Grimsvotn effects on the summer of 2011 and winter of 2011 are uncertain, but scientists are saying even small volcano eruptions, have the potential to change the global climate.
Grimsvotn Erupution occurred relatively close by to us on May 2011.

The 217 dollars is just for one year! Is it that you pick a year and when that year arrives he will give you the weather for that particular year. No where else on his site has he predictions beyond 2013-2014
I'm uncertain hes claiming to know the weather up till 2019. Its ambiguous the way its written. You could be right, but i ain't sure.0 -
