Vibration looks the answer but why aren't the others affected?

What is causing this Egyptian statuette to move at a Manchester museum? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/weirdnewsvideo/10137556/Manchester-Museums-mysterious-spinning-Egyptian-statuette-caught-on-camera.html

The last conclusively above average month, i.e. one that was above 1961-90, 1971-2000 and 1981-2010 averages was August 2012! I remember November 2003 to October 2005 on net.weather and the "when are we going to see a below average month?" question being asked.

16th May 2005, the day, the BBC Weather centre introduced the new graphics. Remember the kick up over the angle the UK was at?

Good view of the glow to the north now.

My email has been referred to the Climate Science Enquiries team. I'm finding it very hard not to be very cynical by these predictions going off past predictions that have gone awry. Remember Dr Viner and how snow was going to be a rare thing etc etc. That comment was made in early 2000 and 13 years later.......then he said it will cause chaos in 20 years times because we won't be use to it. Well guess what Dr Viner, snow has caused chaos for years in this country! Just read you history! Then we had NASA solar experts saying this solar maxima is predicted to be very active etc back in 2006. Then 3 years later after some kind of denial and saying nothing to worry about, it is not unusual when activity didnt seem to be increasing, it became what is going on?! Can we really predict such complex future events that involve so many variables?

1954, 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1960 were very wet summers.

I have done, so we hopefully get an answer to this.

Will someone give me a logical reason why spring and autumn 2011 are not in that list of UK's run of unusual seasons? Oversight? http://metofficenews.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/meeting-on-uks-run-of-unusual-seasons/ Facts on recent unusual seasons in the UK All facts are based on UK figures in the national records dating back to 1910. Spring 2013 – mean temperature of 6.0 °C; 5th coldest on record; coldest since 1962 (ie coldest in 51 years). March 2013 – mean temperature of 2.2 °C; joint 2nd coldest on record; coldest since 1962 (ie coldest in 51 years). Year of 2012 – 1337.3 mm of rain; 2nd wettest year on record; the wettest since 2000. Summer of 2012 – 379.2 mm of rain; 2nd wettest on record; wettest since 1912 (ie wettest for 100 years). June 2012 – 149.0 mm of rain; wettest on record. April 2012 – 128.0 mm of rain; wettest on record. Winter 2010/11 – mean temperature of 2.43 °C, which is 1.3C below the 1981-2010 average; December 2010 – mean temperature of -0.18 °C; coldest on record. Recent summers – six out of seven recent summers have had above average rainfall, with only 2010 being average. Three summers (2012, 2011, 2007) have seen the triple ‘disappointment’ of having below average temperatures, below average sunshine, and above average rainfall.

Putting my cynic hat on here and it is down to the way that news report was written but would they be having their meeting if the above mentioned didn't happen? What I mean that report doesn't mention spring 2011: warmest on record, autumn 2011: 2nd warmest on record? Would they have a meeting to try and explain those seasons or would they say "it's part of global warming effect" Are they going to identify those factors that caused those extreme seasons? It seems the report is written as though they are looking into seasons that seem to contradict the effects of global warming? Maybe I'm just being very cynical.

The weekend of 17th/18th June 2000 was a scorcher for many places but it is largely forgotten Temperatures recorded on 18th June 2000 Barbourne: 32.0C Leeds Weather Centre: 31.7C London Weather Centre: 31.4C Northolt: 31.0C Heathrow: 30.8C Blackpool airport: 30.0C Nottingham: 30.0C Carlisle: 29.6C Rhyl: 29.1C Manchester airport: 29.3C Glasgow airport: 26.0C It didn't last long although temperatures got into the low 30s in the east, the next day it turned cooler.

27th February 2005: I remember having a little ding dong with John Holmes that Peter Gibbs was wrong to say winter 2004-05 was the driest since 1962-63.
