There is a theory that it is more easily spread and more deadly to Asian ethnicities due a to a genetic difference in a certain protein in the lungs. That doesn't explain the limited spread in adjacent countries though, because it can't be more dangerous to the Chinese only surely.

No that's due to the roughly hourly updates - but the graph shows daily points - the last point creeps up each day.

Some sites will show you the sun altitude at noon, when the angle is 25 degrees or higher there's something of a stepchange in the amount of energy getting through the atmosphere, below 25 degrees far more is reflected away. Here that's 25th February but I guess some places further south are already there. e.g. *change to your location Sunrise and sunset times in York WWW.TIMEANDDATE.COM Calculations of sunrise and sunset in York – England – United Kingdom for February 2020.

Enforced Organophosphate warble fly treatment most likely

This is probably jumping to conclusions, one of the earlier BBC reports said cases were first picked up at another location, the crowded market would be a good place for initial spread though.

The daily change reaches +4 minutes during first week of Feb and by the end is near the maximum about +4:20 That's here it will be more subtle further south I guess

It is those, I'm at a loss why media reporting today won't say the Hotel (a self catering apartment at StayCity near York Barbican in Paragon Street) or the fact they are Chinese Nationals presumably on holiday. The trouble is the days before they would be mixing with hundreds of others of course

It's far more to do with them being unable to afford or be permitted to use insecticides. The green fascists would rather see them starve than state the truth.

We had gusts yesterday and overnight well over 50mph with no warnings, the forecast was 35mph

Deja vu

Is that Mytholmroyd next week or now?

Naive population would be better term. In reality assuming no vaccine is produced dramatically change the odds the infection spread very rapidly at first, however various mutations spring up with different severity. The more severe versions make the host so unwell they stay home and might die, only immediate family are at special risk. The less severe mutations people don't die and are unwell for a shorter period. They are more likely to spread the less deadly version. They recover and are largely immune form similar strains including the most serious versions. This gives a natural selection pressure towards milder strain as the number of potential hosts suddenly falls below thresholds just as should happen with vaccination if it's done effectively

I did get that set-up for mine but the fan seemed to seize up after a couple of years, they aren't cheap so don't intend replacing - the fan itself isn't too bad but no telling if something else hasn't stopped too.

Since the recordings were made just down the road at Glaisdale I guess it might have been felt here but I didn't notice anything despite being awake. The 2008 Market Rasen one was much bigger (5.2) but further away, it did give us quite a marked jolt followed by gentle shaking for a good minute - enough to rattle items indoors. Anyone not asleep (it was shortly after midnight) ought to have noticed it but local geology can have marked effect either deadening movement or enhancing it..

They will reduce the chance of accidental direct transmission in water drops e.g sneezing - either way.

It's probably not worth spending anything on it, those were always budget stations would be lucky to get 2 or 3 years out of them. Having said that a lot of the internal components are inexpensive off the shelf items and can be swapped out with moderate knowledge and basic tools, you might be able to make one good one out of two 'dead' ones acquired for peanuts or better free.

This started to become an issue a few years ago with the result that if you change your T/H sensor now you might not be informed (I wasn't) by vendor. Basically older VP2 stations will need a significant -0.5C offset if you get the current sensor. There are probably a few of the older ones floating about so care needed. Luckily less than three months data affected here before correction made, it's not realistic to backdate the correction though.

Didn't actually record any rain yesterday here, but there was some horizontal drizzle. A gust of 62mph was highest in a while but fairly normal stuff 2 or 3 times a year here and it was only one brief gust.

It got down to -2.7 here and frost persisted out of the sun all day, but air briefly reached 7C. It has been the nicest day in weeks nonetheless. Roads and other hard surfaces have largely dried up after the wind and lower humidity yesterday particularly.

How would they explain the warming before 1950 which was similar to the last 30 years or so

This evening afternoon there's a slightly unearthly yellow glow from a cloud layer illuminated from below. Clouds are quite high with some breaks to the west.

Windy and 8.3C was the high here today I feel so cheated. It was very unwise going out to the beach which was supposed to be warmer than Athens.

The lightest evenings often have some patchy cloud, which reflects sunlight for quite a while after sunset - rather like a natural lantern.

Well kind of, here the December mean is at 5.1C ( +0.7C), compare to 2015 which was +2.5C - hardly notably mild. I don't suppose other areas are much different on the departure from normal.

The late 80s winters had several periods overcast with winds from the deep SW and very mild, for days on end
