    The BBC seem to have missed this freak weather event as part of "the Earth is on fire" series, can't think why.

    A rare winter storm coated Baghdad in snow Tuesday morning for only the second time in the Iraqi capital in the past century.

     

    Still, they have given Greta her own show show so we shouldn't be short of expert input on how the Earth will end soon.

    It means nothing that somewhere got a freak cold event. In the end the last few years have been the hottest in recorded history with many heat records broken every year across the world. Just because somewhere gets a rare snow event doesn't change the global trend.

    Think metoffice wind speeds been pretty bang on clearly bbc forecast been way overdoing wind speed. Seen worse during normal winter weather fronts here in the south. Winds have dropped of more than anything since this morning. 

    Yeah the metoffice has been more accurate here

    First of two ‘arms’ went through. Peak rain rates over 100 mm/hr but only lasted about 5 mins - they’re scooting along as expected.

    Lighting is more ‘veiled’ than during the top-tier 2014 events and thunder much quieter.

    Some powerful wind gusts though!

     

    In the end, five bouts of torrential rain, most intense one reaching nearly 150 mm/hr, with the final one being the most noisy thunder-wise due to a lower cloud base (it was a back-built one).

    8/10 for me.

    Same thoughts I had compared to 2014.
