Interesting and informative video below.

Funnel cloud or a weak tornado ? ....not sure what the difference is.

Sporadic thunder and lightning here. Storm looks to be off to our north west heading towards Newbury.

Let it snow!! Enjoying the September sun but looking forward to the winter snow....please!

I'd love to get back to Austria this winter......but not booked anything yet. Not feeling confident about Covid this winter and consequently non EU British travellers being banned from Austria again.

New York and New Jersey being hit by major flooding tonight. A result of tropical storm Ida. State of Emergency declared.

Thanks for this Crimsone......looks like my sister in Titirangi would be getting wet if she was going out anywhere. At least the lockdown is keeping most people at home. Are you in Auckland or elsewhwre?

And the many thousands of families sleeping in tents at the 250 + campsites in Cornwall.

Looks like the many campers in Cornwall will have a disturbed night's sleep! Definitely a need for extra guylines and pegs, especially for the more exposed clifftop sites. The Seaview Tipis look particularly precarious!

A winter hurricane (southern hemisphere) for Uruguay??

Yes, including this ........ An enormous ‘mega comet’ is flying into our solar system | New Scientist WWW.NEWSCIENTIST.COM Astronomers have found a large object entering our solar system – it could be an unusually large comet or even a minor planet, and it will get nearly as close to the sun as Saturn by 2031

I though Brexit would prevent these unwanted imports! I want the promised "sunlit uplands".

Likewise, just had a very loud rumble here....but doesn't appear to show up on detectors.

Or look to Lake Taupo, New Zealand. The Taupo Eruption (around 180AD ish) was the most violent eruption known in the world in the last 5000 years. Mark Bebbington, a Professor in Geostatistics at Massey University, has looked at the probability of another Taupo eruption..... between 0.5 and 1.3 per cent within the next 500 years. "So we're unlikely to see an eruption in our lifetimes," he said. "On the other hand, the same could be said of winning Lotto, and sometimes the low probability comes up."

Looking really grim in E Australia.....keep safe everyone. NSW flooding: people flee their homes overnight as extreme rain wreaks havoc | Australia weather | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Residents along Hawkesbury River told to evacuate in the middle of the night as NSW braces for another day of wild weather

Looking wet for E Australia!!...reckon you'll need a brolly.

Fagradalsfjall volcano?? latest photo......

Arghhh!! torture.....Very envious Carinthian! Kiwi family have really missed their annual Austrian ski trip - Hotel was brilliant and refunded our money very promptly and we're looking forward to rebooking for next year. Hope you manage to get out on the slopes to enjoy the plentiful powder.
