Mere end 600.000 hektar brændte på 9 dage i Californien og tvang en evakuering af mere end 100.000 mennesker. Skovbrandene var forårsagede af ekstraordinære og usædvanlige lynnedslag, som fokuserede på San Francisco Bay området. De fleste af lynnedslagene skete inden for en kort tidsperiode, og med meget lidt nedbør; et fænomen som er kendt som tørre lyn. Denne begivenhed omfattede omkring 11% af det gennemsnitlige årlige antal lynnedslagsaktivitet for staten.

Nej, det er ikke global opvarmning som nogle medier har erklæret det for værende, men en blanding af forhold, såsom tørre vejrforhold og elektriske udladninger, en anden begivenhed som kan føjes til konsekvenserne af en meget ladningsfuldt atmosfære.

Det bør nævnes at de ekstreme vejrforhold har forværret flugten fra Californien over det sidste årti. Omkring 5 millioner Californierer har forladt staten med et netto befolkningstab på mere end en million mennesker. Startende i m1990erne så har Californien tabt flere indbyggere til andre stater end den har vundet.

Colorado blev også ramt af den største skovbrand i statens historie. Branden i Pine Gulch har brændt 139,006 acres og har efterladt rancherne med lidt til intet at græsse for deres kvæg og bekymrede om langtidseftervirkningerne.


And at least 1,216 fires ravaged 8,778 hectares of forests in Algeria. The North African country has experienced more frequent forest fires in recent years but the causes have not been disclosed... negligence? coal traffickers? more lightning strikes? meteorites? Who knows, but something unusual is going on.

Sheets of rain, unusually heavy floods, landslides and huge hail continued to destroy houses, basic infrastructure and crops around the world this month... impacting the lives of dozens of millions.

In Asia alone, 17.5 million people suffered the consequences of the record monsoon floods. Nearly 700 died and thousands have been displaced. China, Bangladesh and India continue to be the most affected.

South Korea has suffered from unusually heavy downpours for more than 2 months now, marking the country's longest and worst ever monsoon season. Now, the strongest typhoon of the year is on its way to the Korean Peninsula, so the deluge is unlikely to abate anytime soon.

Are you wondering about snow? Ask Australia, South Brazil, and South Africa... well, you could say that it's normal as they are still in winter (barely), but what about Yunnan, China; Dagestan, Russia; the Alps and Pyrenees in Europe... A little taste of what's to come?

Given the amount of water falling out of the sky, if things get colder, we may have to prepare ourselves for an extended winter.
