Heavy dark clouds to the west and southwest of me are now slowly approaching. Nothing electric yet but a heavy shower should at least be on the menu! Karyo -
I hope so as otherwise all this sticky weather will be for nothing! I hate high temperatures and sweat! lol
-
Cloudy and sticky in Manchester! I can see some towers to the west of me but so far I only managed a few drops of rain. Hoping for a bang later! Karyo
-
Thanks John.
-
Do we know the magnitude? I am not good at reading those graphs! :-(
-
Well done! I haven't reached that level yet. Karyo
-
Yes, Jon Frinman has just added some info on his blog too. http://www.jonfr.com/volcano/?p=1245#comments Karyo
-
That's true and several other islands in the canaries such as Palma and Tenerife, have unstable slops/volcanic structures. Karyo
-
The tsunami was caused thousands of years ago! The most recent eruption (about 300 years ago) didn't cause a tsunami or a major disaster. Karyo
-
I agree and personally prefer average temperatures to hot. I just posted the link to show that current CFS projections don't support a heatwave in August despite the high pressure. Karyo
-
Yes, but it also shows an absence of above average temperatures for the UK and northwest Europe. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/lanina/images3/euT2mMon.gif Karyo

An earthquake swarm of 400 + earthquakes took place earlier today on the canary island of el hierro. http://twitpic.com/5um4vi This was mentioned by one of the posters on Jon Frinman's blog. This is the western most island in the canaries and it is believed that thousands of years ago a volcanic explosion caused a landslide and a massive tsunami. The last eruption was in the 1700s so this could be interesting! Karyo
-
At least we agree on the fascinating nature of volcanoes! Oh, and I didn't realise I need a 100% fluency in english to post here! Karyo
-
A volcanic eruption today will affect many more people than 100 years ago, simply because there are more of us around now.They have shaped the world we live in and will continue to do so. I find volcanoes (and their effect on weather patterns and climate) fascinating. The same goes with harricanes, tornadoes, snow and storms. It's what I like and I am unapologetic about it! Time to check on Katla again... Karyo
-
I know very well the potential of a large Katla eruption. If it's going to happen, I'd rather it happens in the summer to block some sunlight. I suppose the proximity of Katla to the UK may make some people nervous but there are some much more dangerous volcanoes around the world, capable of more significant eruptions than Katla. Karyo
-
I hope you are wrong as this will mean an autumn or winter eruption which will have minimum impact on blocking sunlight! I hope for an eruption before the end of this summer (time is running out fast) Karyo
-
Katla is definately keeping us interested! Karyo
-
Thanks for the update. It's interesting that Mount Lokon is erupting from the side! It's a frequent offender so I wouldn't expect a large eruption from it. Karyo
-
It goes without saying! The bigger the better! lol
-
I so want Katla to give us a major eruption (>VEI4) but preferably after Tuesday morning as I am going on holiday! Karyo
-
Impressive detail!
-
Thanks John, that's very informative! I still can't believe that we don't have any photos etc. from the ground! :-( Karyo
-
Indeed, but I can't see them moving any closer to us. :-(
-
I can see the storm clouds to me west/northwest! So near but yet so far. Karyo
-
If only the thunderstorm from Liverpool can shift towards Manchester! Still sunny here but I can see the clouds to the west. Karyo
