Arctic ice extent is now more than at the same time in the record year of 2012.
Who'd have thought it given the melt rate of recent months.

Still I suppose it is not so surprising considering the stationary cold trough of recent weeks. Be intersting to see the effect on our summer. And the eventual minimum come September. Any predictions?
Lower, higher or the same as 2012?

In the mid-summer madness of Dawlish a sloppy little village famous for its gaily viaduct, beneath which the dawlish are said to troll with laments such as: last week's Ice decline waily waily...
....it is often difficult to discuss the predicament caused by the lack of Arctic ice upon the weather or not of the Northern Atlantic. For instance; can a Low be warmer than an High and if so, is there a relationship between ice and open water that is known to have any affect whatsoever on the September issue from heaven?

Doubtless we are all agog and magog even, about the finality of weather control finally hitting home in China:

According to a statement released by the government, the National Meteorological Center has issued a yellow warning of rainstorm on June 20 and China Meteorological Administration (CMA) activated a level four emergency response at 18:00 LT on June 20, requiring all relevant meteorological sectors attached to CMA to enter the emergency position immediately and put corresponding meteorological services in place.

The potentially affected areas such as Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou are expected to sustain or adjust the emergency state according to local realities. Southeastern Henan, central-eastern Hubei, central-southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu, northern Hunan, northern Jiangxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang, eastern Chongqing, and northern Guizhou were expected to experience heavy rain on June 20 and 21.

Between 100 - 180 mm (3.9 - 7 inches) of rainfall are expected in southern and western Anhui, eastern Hubei, and western Zhejiang. The maximum expected hourly rainfall is 70 mm (2.75 inches).

IIRC my forays into this hallowed academy these are the monthly equivalents to a wet winter. It's a good job China is a very big place otherwise it woud be washed away with such a shower of **** as comprises their government. God help them, poor buggers.

Does anyone know anything about directed energy weapons such as Monolithic Microwave circuits affixed to Maxstar Sattelites:

Or are all the flowerpots on here whistling whilst they work on income data?
