Forecasters believe that man-made climate change has empowered La Niña, triggering the so-called Greenland Block (A powerful area of high pressure in the Northeast Pacific and lower-than-normal air pressure over the western Pacific). They even propose this is the main factor for the record freezing temperatures in the northern hemisphere this winter. Yet, we know better now: The sun defines climate, and the global cold trend may increase over the coming years.

Warm-mongers also highlighted that sea ice in Antarctica reached its lowest extent on record at the end of December. Yet, in the long-term Antarctic sea ice still shows an increasing trend. In addition, the overall snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere is the second-highest in the past 17 years.

Arctic and antarctic ice and snow increase and decrease in yearly cycles connected to larger cycles of solar activity. As the solar-minimum sets in, we can expect an overall increase in ice and snow cover.

The arctic blasts engulfed the US, coast-to-coast and top-to-bottom. 60% of the US was affected by freezing temperatures, and 2 million were left without power. The pattern flipped to warmer temperatures at the end of the month, just to welcome another forecasted polar vortex in January.

Most of Canada, from British Columbia to Newfoundland, was also hit by extreme cold. Airports canceled thousands of flights, and power outages affected more than 300,000 just in Quebec and Ontario.

The UK was pummeled by the ‘snowiest period in 12 years’ lasting a month. The government outlined plans to go ‘lights out’ in January after National Grid warned there could be blackouts due to an expected energy crisis.

It was also a time of extremes in France and parts of Switzerland with significant snow at higher altitudes, and heavy rain lower down. Even if there was a warmer trend in some parts of Europe this month, the forecasts point out to a colder January.

Parts of Moscow were covered by over 12 inches of snow this month, something not usually observed until the end of winter. The last time a similar depth of snow was recorded in Moscow in mid-December was in 1989 and 1993.

And Mexico City also got its third snowfall in 82 years, affecting primarily high-altitude areas.

Floods triggered by sheets of rain continued around the world this month, including:

Philippines – Heavy rain caused 51 deads and the displacement of at least 46,000. 17,300 acres of crops were wiped out.
Southern Thailand – 21 inches of rain in 24 hours.
Northcentral Vietnam – 13 inches of rain in 24 hours.
Namibia – 3 months’ worth of rain in 24 hours.
South Africa – Countrywide floods.
Baghdad, Iraq – Non-stop rain for 45 days.

And at least two died and 11 were injured after a strong 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of northern California. Thousands were left without power. 80 aftershocks have rattled parts of Northern California since the event. The largest aftershock was a 4.6 magnitude quake in Rio Dell, one of the hardest hit areas.

There were unprecedented summer snowfalls in central Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan that dumped historic accumulations in Samangan province, killing cattle and damaging seasonal crops.

1,000 people died, and 1,500 were wounded after a 5.9M earthquake hit eastern Afghanistan, compounding the struggle in a nation already affected by a food crisis.

China’s Sichuan province was hit by a shallow 6.1M earthquake that took the lives of at least four people and wounded 14 others.

Extreme storms, floods, and landslides wreaked havoc around the world this month.

Half a million people have been affected by the heaviest downpour in 60 years, triggering floods and landslides in Guangdong, China. The record-breaking event caused the evacuation of 177,600 people, destroyed 1,729 houses, and damaged 27.13 hectares of crops.

Meanwhile, unusually heavy floods and landslides affected over 2 million people in the provinces of Hunan and Jiangxi in China after days of heavy rain. At least 32 died, 2,700 houses collapsed, around 286,000 people were evacuated, and 76,300 hectares of cropland were heavily damaged.

In northeastern India and Bangladesh, at least 18 people died, and 2 million homes were destroyed as massive floods ravaged the area.

Furthermore, lightning in parts of Bangladesh killed at least nine people.

At least 17 people died after heavy rain caused flooding and landslides in Meghalaya, Assam, and Sikkim, India. Parts of Meghalaya recorded more than 31 inches of rain in 24 hours, leaving a broad path of destruction. 150 people died, and 200,000 were displaced. In Assam, 5 million were affected by heavy floods of overflowing rivers.

Strong winds and thunderstorms, heavy rain, floods, and hail wreaked havoc across France from June 3rd to 5th. 65 departments across the country were affected, thousands of homes lost power, and at least one person died in flood waters in Rouen. 15 people were injured across the country.

For the first time in more than 20 years, Météo-France issued orange level alerts for almost all departments in the country.

Huge hail also left a mark around the world this month. Texas, Wisconsin, Mexico City, Germany, Italy, and Budapest, were the most affected.

All that, and more, in this month’s SOTT Earth Changes Summary for June 2022

At least 15 people died and 1.7 million were affected by heavy floods in Shanxi province, China, one of the country’s main coal producing areas. At least 60 coal mines suspended operations amid a power supply crisis. An estimated 190,000 hectares of crops have also been destroyed, suggesting a very harsh winter for the province.

More than 150 people died in devastating floods across India and Nepal after 100-year record rains triggered flash flooding and landslides.

Typhoon Kompasu set off flash floods as it barreled over south China and the northern Philippines, leaving at least 26 people dead. The storm made landfall in Hainan, China, two days after relentless rains triggered massive flooding in the area.

At least 26 people were killed in southern India after heavy flooding left towns and villages cut off. Several houses were washed away and people were trapped in the Kottayam district of Kerala state.

Parts of northwestern and southern Italy were hit by a new European record rainfall, turning streets and squares into rivers and lakes, and causing at least two deaths.

A “bomb cyclone” and an “atmospheric river” triggered floods in California, Washington, and Oregon. Strong winds caused power outages affecting 400,000 people. New York and Connecticut got their share of record-breaking rain, with 3 inches in one day.

The northern hemisphere is already reporting early snow in anomalous quantities for late autumn.

Alaska, Canada, Switzerland, Greece, and Finland reported heavy early snow during this month, but the US was the most affected, with parts from the western to the southern states covered in white.

South Dakota reported 27 inches of early snow in 24 hours, while nearly 90 runners had to be rescued after snow halted an ultramarathon in Utah.

Kinnaur, and Kashmir, India were hit by heavy rain and snowfall too, blocking roads and killing at least 6 people, including 3 trekkers in the Kinnaur district.

A shallow magnitude 5.9 earthquake hit southwestern Pakistan early, killing at least 20 people and leaving 300 others injured. It was followed by a magnitude 4.6 quake in the same area two hours later.

La Palma volcano in the Canary Islands blew open two more fissures this month. The increased lava flow reached the sea, sparking fears of toxic gas clouds.

Increased sightings of meteor fireballs around the world have been reported throughout 2021, with a Canadian woman getting a very close encounter after a meteorite ripped through the roof of her home and landed in her pillow, barely missing her.

A major solar flare erupted from the sun on Thursday (Oct. 28) in one of the strongest storms of our star’s current weather cycle. Let’s pay attention to electrical phenomena in the upcoming months.

Food production and distribution are collapsing in many countries around the world, mainly caused by earth changes and worsened by the elite’s Great Reset. Now, what would happen if all the amount of water falling during the past months came down as snow? Not a pretty picture, huh?

Pay attention, and prepare accordingly.

China’s Henan province has taken the strongest hit so far, lashed by historic rainfall and floods since July, causing the death of at least 71 and affecting 12 million people.

States on both the east and west coast of India got battered by record rainfall and flash floods too. In Gujarat, 1.6 million residents were affected and 7,000 were evacuated. In Odisha, heavy rainfall affected 2.3 million people in 4,964 villages, 7,500 houses were damaged, and around 130,000 hectares of agricultural land were destroyed.

Storm Ida unleashed heavy rain, flash floods, hail, and tornadoes across the NE of the US, killing dozens of people and causing widespread damage. New York City and New Jersey were hit by record rainfall, trapping residents in flooded basements and cars.

Mexico also got its share of extreme weather with unprecedented amounts of rain and floodwaters in the southern and central parts of the country.
All this while a 7.0M earthquake rattled major cities from Guerrero to Mexico City.

A rare 5.9 magnitude earthquake shook Australia’s southeast, damaging buildings in Melbourne. It was Australia’s largest earthquake in recent years. At the same time, a series of gripping cold fronts triggered late snowfalls in the east coast and Victorian highlands overnight, while Adelaide was hit by severe hailstorms later on… Nature seems to be responding promptly to the rabid, totalitarian measures enforced in Australia.

The Cumbre Vieja volcano in La Palma, one of Spain’s Canary Islands, erupted on September 19. For nearly two weeks, sheets of lava burned through farmland, roads, and homes on the southwestern part of the island. After the several strong explosions, four new fissures of lava have opened. Around 6,000 people have been evacuated, and about 400 properties had been destroyed.

As the Earth’s atmosphere gets charged, we also notice an increased number of people, cattle, and buildings being hit by lightning, as well as other electrical phenomena in the sky as red sprites, blue jets, and noctilucent clouds.

Something big is going on folks, there are clear signs of increased electrical phenomena and global cooling. Are we already in an ice age?

Again, pay attention to reality and prepare accordingly.

While all eyes last month were on the most extraordinary build-up to a US election, Earth Changes continued apace.

The curtain-raiser in October 2016 was Hurricane Matthew, which left a swathe of destruction across Colombia, the Caribbean and the US East Coast. The strongest North Atlantic storm in a decade, Matthew was also the strongest storm ever recorded so close to the equator, dumped so much water that it broke rainfall records wherever it went, and cost over $10 billion in damages. Haiti, where over 1,600 people were killed, bore the brunt of it.

Extreme weather is so ‘normal’ now that South Carolina last month recorded its seventh ‘1-in-1,000-year’ flood event in just 6 years, beating rainfall records set in… September 2016. While much of the US saw record-breaking warm temperatures for October, copious amounts of snow across Russia meant that the northern hemisphere’s snow cover extent by late October was second only to that recorded in 1976.

We also have a dozen mind-blowing meteor events in this month’s video, a reflection of what we suspect is another end-of-year uptick in ‘space visitors’. As we reported at the beginning of the year, fireballs have significantly increased over the last decade, and the skies become especially ‘illuminated’ during the latter half of each year.

These were ‘the signs’ in October 2016…

No matter the season or ‘normal’ climate, these days vehicles, homes and people are being washed away in deluges – the world over – on a regular basis. Forget “one month’s average rainfall falling within hours” – last month, TWO MONTHS’ average rainfall fell within a day and turned parts of southern Japan into inland seas. In the US, Utah experienced its worst ever flash-flooding, and the entire Eastern Seaboard was soaked with up to a foot of rain. This month, we also have clips of deluges in Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Norway, Thailand, Sierra Leone, and New Zealand, along with powerful storms hitting Brazil and Taiwan.

Spectacular volcanic eruptions in Japan, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Indonesia foreshadowed a massive 8.3 magnitude earthquake struck off Chile, sending a 4.5 meter tsunami crashing into the coast and causing widespread damage. Hailstones the size of footballs fell in Naples, Italy. Brisbane, Australia, was blanketed in up to 4 inches (8cm) of hail, while a gigantic hole opened up on a nearby beach and swallowed a campsite. Meteor fireball sightings continue their meteoric rise, with spectacular sightings last month over Bangkok and Los Angeles.

Wildfires continue burning up much of California, which last month saw its ‘third-largest’ wildfire in history as whole towns were consumed and tens of thousands of residents were forced to flee. The other major outbreak of wildfires on the planet in September occurred in Indonesia, from where a smoky haze enveloped much of southeast Asia for the second time in three years. ‘Slash-and-burn’ farming is being blamed, but the fires occur in peatlands that release lots of methane, leaving us wondering if the primary fuel source for these fires is coming up from below.

Extreme weather also hit the Middle East, which was engulfed in an ‘unprecedented’ sandstorm that stretched from Iraq to Cyprus and south to Saudi Arabia. A tragic and incredibly symbolic event occurred in the heart of Islam’s ‘holy city’ on the 14th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, when a powerful and unusual thunderstorm descended on Mecca and winds blew a large construction crane belonging to Bin Laden Construction onto the Grand Mosque. 111 people were killed and hundreds more injured.

These were the signs of the times in September 2015…
