  1. Well its been a long netweather since a made a post or blog I think the last post I did was back in february And that was back then when all those storms hitting the uk. So then where have i been? Well I decided to go on the sidelines and a long time and even left netweather for a few week's without even saying goodbye. So eventually I decided to come back and do this blog and because there some interesting weather may be coming up soon. I did not leave because winter was over or because there was no more interesting weather,I just wanted a break from posting and other things. But now I am back. By skulltheruler.
  2. A 6.3 magnitude earthquake has struck off the south coast of Japan, 13 kilometers north of the city Kunisaki-shi, located on the southern Kyushu Island, according to the US Geological Survey. The epicenter fell at a depth of 82.9km, striking off the coast at the intersection between Kyushu, the main island of Honshu, and Shikoku,at 2:06 a.m. on Friday (1706 GMT on Thursday). A 6.3 earthquake is capable of causing ‘serious damage’, according to the USGS,while earthquakes measuring between 6.0 and 6.9 on the Richter scale can be felt up to hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter. The quake struck 36 km south-south-west of the city of Hikari, western Honshu, which has a population of over 50,000 people. No reports of damage or casualties have immediately followed. The USGS has released a pager ‘green’ alert, meaning that “there is a low likelihood of casualties and damage.†While there have been local TV reports of fire in Shunan city, on the east coast of Honshu, they state that it is not dangerous. The Shimane Nuclear Power Plant, located some 250 kilometers northeast of Shunan also confirmed that there have been no abnormalities caused by the quake. No tsunami warning has been issued. The earthquake struck shortly after the third anniversary of the Fukishima nuclear disaster, when a quake measuring a staggering 9 on the Richter scale struck Miyagi prefecture, causing a series of tsunamis that spawned deadly, 20-30-meter waves, sparking the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, claiming 16,000 lives and making a further 2,600 disappear without a trace. http://rt.com/news/japan-quake-kyushu-tsunami-646/
  3. Winter wettest ever, says Met Office The UK has had wettest winter on record - 486.8mm of rain - beating previous 1995 record, Met Office says With a week still to go in the winter, the UK's rainfall record for the season has already been broken. The incessant storms and rainfall over the past two months have made this the wettest winter since records began in 1910. According to provisional figures from the Met Office, the UK received 486.8mm of rain between 1 December 2013 and 19 February 2014. This beat the previous record of 485.1mm of rain set in 1995. The amount of rainfall recorded in Wales was also a new record for the winter. There have also been new record winter totals in east Scotland, southwest England and south Wales. The southeast and central southern England region broke the winter record on 11 February with a total of 439.2mm, smashing the previous one that had lasted since 1914-1915. Most of the UK is also on target for a warmer than average winter, the Met Office said. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26280219
  4. Even though its just under 2 weeks away its a worrying sight to see the storms coming back on the charts. This is just under 7 days from now.Which looks a bit tight at the moment should be cleared up as we get closer.

  7. I am sad to say to this but someone has died in this storm.......... A man thought to be in his 70s has been killed at Bremhill near Calne while trying to remove a tree which had brought down power cables, say Wiltshire Police. They say he is believed to have been electrocuted. Edit:More INFO Back to the breaking news about the death in Wiltshire. Police say they were called to reports of a fallen tree in Bremhill at 15:10 GMT. Ten minutes later, on their way there, another call came in saying a man had been injured. Sadly, he was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been told.

  19. Amber warning of Wind Issued at: 1333 on Mon 10 Feb 2014 Valid from: 1200 on Wed 12 Feb 2014 Valid to: 0600 on Thu 13 Feb 2014 A vigorous area of low pressure is expected to move northeastwards across the UK later on Wednesday, clearing eastwards early on Thursday. This is likely to be accompanied by a swathe of gales across many parts of England and Wales which may be severe in places. The public should be prepared for the the risk of disruption to transport and possibly also power supplies. This warning should be viewed in the broader context of the Yellow Wind Alert. A vigorous area of low pressure is expected to move quickly northeastwards across the UK later on Wednesday. At present computer models are suggesting a variety of possible tracks for this system across the UK. Hence there remains uncertainty regarding its exact track and hence the areas more likely to be affected by the worst of the winds. However, current ideas suggest that southwest Britain could bear the brunt with gusts of 60-70 mph widely, perhaps with gusts over 80 mph in exposed areas. Please monitor the website as this alert may be adjusted as new information become available. Local Authorities affected and associated warning levels Bath and North East Somerset, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Isles of Scilly, North Somerset, Plymouth, Poole, Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon, Torbay, WiltshireI think a red warning is possible now if this keeps up.
  20. Yellow warning of Rain Issued at: 1235 on Mon 10 Feb 2014 Valid from: 0015 on Tue 11 Feb 2014 Valid to: 1300 on Tue 11 Feb 2014 Further spells of rain, heavy at times, and accompanied by strong winds and coastal gales, are expected during Monday night and into Tuesday morning. The rain should clear eastwards by around the middle of Tuesday. The public should be aware of the risk of further disruption due to flooding. This is an update to bring forward the end time of the warning. Another area of low pressure and its associated fronts are likely to affect the UK during Monday night and into Tuesday, bringing a further spell of heavy rain and strong winds, particularly to southern areas from the west. There remains some uncertainty in timing of the frontal system, but 10 to 20 mm rainfall is likely quite widely, with over 30 mm possible across parts of South Wales and southwest England. With ongoing flooding in some places, any further rain will only add to the problems. Very gusty winds may be an added hazard in places.
