Due to warmer than normal weather at source of the Tsangbu River near Langtang Lirung the rock barrier that was at the end of the glacier there ruptured sending floods down the river valley with many deaths resulting from this, probably in the thousands. The area being more mountainous and northerly has seen an averege temperature increase double that of more southerly latitudes in recent years and there are maybe another 20 similar sites around this area in the Himalayas in a similar condition that could have the same effect.<\/p>\n<p>04\/08\/2026 &#8211; 5.9 magnitude rare earthquake at Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>03\/08\/2026 &#8211; Volc\u00e1n de Fuego in Guatemala, 10 miles west of Antigua, has erupted for the 9th time since 2015. It started growing about 8,500 years ago when the previous volcano there collapsed and seems to have had a peak in around 1765 before slowing down again, but recently has surpassed that level by a fair amount and still increasing.<\/p>\n<p>16\/07\/2026 &#8211; Solar activity still staying higher than normal. Nearly 188 days of this in this band. We have had quite a lot since 31\/12\/2023, 53% of the time since then.<\/p>\n<p>25\/06\/2026 Two major earthquakes hit Venezuela. 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude 23km south-east of Yumare. Northern Venezuela sits on transpressional bend on three plates similar to the San Andreas fault that only sits on two, and hasn\u2019t really had a slip for ~125 years, so it\u2019s been building up for some time. The longer the stress builds up without release the larger the effect. At the moment we are only seeing first reported numbers, but there is a likelihood of being ten or more times those as people are only now being reported as missing. It has a median of about 67 years for major quakes events the last notable movement in 1967 which was quite small. The Caribbean plate is moving eastwards at about 0.87\u201d a year compared to the South American, so around 58 feet normally before a slip, but if catching between cycles could be around 70-90 feet. But because of the three smaller plates that comprise this, that are 0.2\u201d, 0.4\u201d and 0.3\u201d a year there is a considerable twisting effect.<\/p>\n<p>17\/05\/2026 &#8211; An outbreak of the rare Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus has occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in the last few weeks where it\u2019s Ituri province which borders Uganda and South Sudan, known for its mining and movement and people around it. So far, there has been 246 cases and 86 deaths from this disease there, but mostly from the Zaire strain for which there is a known vaccine. Ebola was first detailed in 1976 and on average there has been an outbreak in the area around every 3 years, the second worst between 2018-2020, during Covid times, killing around 2,300 people, the worst being 2014-16 when there were around 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths.<\/p>\n<p>14\/05\/2026 &#8211; Solar activity still staying higher than normal. Nearly 150 days of this in this band. We have had quite a lot since 31\/12\/2023, 57% of the time since then.<\/p>\n<p>06\/05\/2026 &#8211; There is a possibility that the virus on the MV Hondius may be a form of Hantavirus called Andes Virus (ANDV), commonest in the Patagonian area of Argentina, which can lead onto HPS, the more dangerous of the two effects associated with the virus, and there have been reports that it can spread person to person, a reason why the close quarters on a cruise ship could enhance it&#8217;s effect and spread. The virus&#8217; reservoir in the wild is normally the long-tailed pygmy rice rat (Oligoryzomys longicaudatus) or the long-haired grass mouse (Abrothrix longipilis), species common in southern rural Argentina and Chile. Although it can be a dangerous disease it&#8217;s not normally very transmissible unless in very close proximity.<\/p>\n<p>05\/05\/2026 &#8211; The ship MV Hondius, after a long trip to the Antarctic area with a number of stops on the way has had now three people die from the hantavirus disease. Hantavirus, a disease mainly spread by contact with small rodent, like field mice aerosols or droplets from their faeces, urine, saliva, or blood has been around for many years and is not usually passed from person to person. It was named after the Hantan River in Korea, a fairly common disease close by where 3,400 soldiers died from the disease in the early 1950\u2019s, many after they returned within 1-8 weeks after exposure from Kidney and Heart problems. In humans, hantaviruses can cause two forms of the disease: a haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), the former between 1-15% fatality and the latter up to 60% fatality depending on the immune response, possibly due to a cytokine storm like the 1918 flu. It was the disease that Gene Hackman\u2019s wife died from at Santa Fe, New Mexico. There is a link to higher than normal rainfall causing rodents to leave their normal habitat and seek shelter in human developments, in 1993 the enhanced El Ni\u00f1o event seemingly linked to this. The itinerary of the MV Hondius started off from Ushuaia in Argentina before stopping off at various islands, Melchior, Wilhelmina Bay, Danco Island, Paradise Bay, Pl\u00e9neau Island, Petermann Island, Damoy Point Hut, the Schollaert Channel, maybe also taking in Charlotte Bay, Port Lockroy, Neko Harbour, Guvern\u00f8ren and the Lemaire Channel, normally being a 10 to 11 day cruise. The first emergency evacuation was on the was on April 27th. Due to the time to infect, three people dying, and a number of other people seeming to be infected, requiring a reasonable length of time it\u2019s like that the infection was either already on the ship, at Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, which is known for its substantial rainfall, which has been much higher than normal, or on the route to the ship and somehow people had come into contact with small rodent spoor.

Nearly 145 days of this in this band. We have had quite a lot since 31\/12\/2023, 56% of the time since then.<\/p>\n<p>19\/04\/2026 &#8211; Solar activity still staying higher than normal. Nearly 142 days in this band. We have had quite a lot since 31\/12\/2023, 56% of the time since then.<\/p>\n<p>13\/04\/2026 &#8211; Micro-asteroid 2013 GM3 discovered in 2013 and watched for 12 days, was supposed to have intersected with earth&#8217;s orbit at a lunar distance tomorrow, but seems to be at half this distance by latest projections. Because it was only observed for 12 days the uncertainty parameter or condition code was set at 7, which in real terms could equate to the sun&#8217;s distance from earth, but it&#8217;s possible for 2013 GM3, a 22m asteroid traveling at around 80,000mph with a mass around a quarter of a million tonnes, it could come as close as 5,400 miles to earth, 2\/3rds of an earth&#8217;s diameter or missing by 3 minutes in a 7 minute window of passing.<\/p>\n<p>12\/04\/2026 &#8211; Solar activity still staying above normal levels but not high for the past 5 days. I would still say that we are still in nearly 139 days of this band.<\/p>\n<p>11\/04\/2026 &#8211; Avian flu prevention zone is still most of the UK with higher risk areas comprising about 10% of the total.<\/p>\n<p>07\/04\/2026 &#8211; Grey seal attacks on porpoises seem to be on the increase. We have seen Killer Whales increase their attacks on boats in the last few years, and it is possible that the stress put on the sea from commercial over-fishing fishing has had a knock on effect with some of the more intelligent sea dwelling creatures. Although attacks on humans are yet unknown, this cannot be guaranteed, with grey seals showing extra predatory behaviour, and possibly even cannibalism of their own kind. Male Grey Seals can be up to 4 times the weight of an average human, so the threat to an average person could be like an adult to a 4 year old child in bulk.<\/p>\n<p>07\/04\/2026 &#8211; Solar activity still staying higher than normal. Nearly 134 days in this band. We have had quite a lot since 31\/12\/2023, 55% of the time since then. I&#8217;ve changed the methodology of working out higher than normal solar activity to include high X-Ray values as well as proton outputs, so the figure has changed from 53% to 55% being 27 days of high x-ray, but minimal proton output, something that usually preceded things like larger flares and aurorae by a few days.<\/p>\n<p>18\/03\/2026 &#8211; Around 5,000 students in and around Canterbury, Kent are being given the MenB vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>16\/03\/2026 &#8211; Two students died and over a hundred in hospital, with 13 confirmed cases over a three-day period, from bacterial meningitis causing septicaemia in the Canterbury, Kent area. Broad spectrum antibiotics, and up until recently mainly the MenACWY vaccine, which is normally given to the 14-25 year age group in such cases, usually at the age of 14, to give some protection against the meningitis A, C, W and Y strains, were being given to thousands. The MenB vaccine has been given to babies since about 2015, 11 years ago, so there is a possible current gap of protection against the B strain between 12-21 years of age. But, the meningitis strain causing the problems seems to be a group B infection, having reduced quite a lot with the rest of the strains, but still around, type B now accounting for 80% of cases, the biggest incidence of this in the world in India and mid Africa, the increase in it recorded in the UK in 2021-22, shortly after Covid finished, so there may be some connection such as an increased susceptibility, especially with a measles connection than has been claimed to wipe out immunities, and is unusual because of the speed at which it happened, many cases suddenly appearing rather than slowly. A private double dose immunisation in the UK costs around \u00a3240. With the US-Iran war people carrying the strain may be now immune to it, but a new population not. It&#8217;s likely that this was from a single person in a single large close quarters social event, a node being at the Club Chemistry, <span class=\"addr\"><span class=\"bb\" title=\"15 Station Road East\"><span class=\"bb-child\">15 Station Road East<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0Canterbury, CT1 2RB<\/span> from around 2 weeks ago where patient zero may have attended. This needs to be treated with caution and quickly, everybody on the alert.<\/p>\n<p>16\/03\/2026 &#8211; Solar activity still staying higher than normal. Nearly 116 days in this band. We have had quite a lot since 31\/12\/2023, 53% of the time since then.<\/p>\n<p>03\/02\/2026 &#8211; Possibly we will have a major solar event from sunspot AR4366 in the next couple of days. High x-rays, so a likely spike in the next 2 days.<\/p>\n<p>03\/02\/2026 &#8211; Solar activity still staying slightly higher than normal. Nearly 89 days of this, the longest period for a long time. So far we have had ending 10\/1\/24, 23\/1, 29\/1, 17\/2, 12\/4, 16\/5, 9\/6, 21\/8, 30\/10, 16\/11, 23\/4\/25, 7\/6 and 3\/2\/26.<\/p>\n<p>26\/01\/2026 &#8211; Outbreak of Nipah virus in West Bengal, India. Nipah is found commonly in old world fruit bats, the megabat species found in tropical and sub-tropical areas that included the &#8216;flying foxes,&#8217; although the bats seem immune to it, producing antibodies against it. Transfer to humans is rare, but usually through an intermediary such as pigs, who are very prone to infection from it, then through human to human contact.<\/p>\n<p>17\/01\/2026 &#8211; 2nd highest burst of solar radiation I&#8217;ve recorded.<\/p>\n<p>17\/01\/2026 &#8211; Solar activity still staying slightly higher than normal. Nearly 72 days of this.<\/p>\n<p>22\/12\/2025 &#8211; A large \u2018sink hole\u2019 seems to have appeared on the Llangollen canal near New Mills Lift Bridge in Whitchurch, Shropshire. But, it doesn\u2019t look like a standard sink hole, being on a bend, the opposing areas bending and the flatness of the bottom suggests that it was more of a bank collapse, the side wall being weakened and the bottom going out with the collapse, possibly due to lack of maintenance and inspection. There seems a small sink hole to the left of the picture, but I would think not the major cause, but one of an ongoing problem. If it is, then the wetter weather with climate changing for the UK suggests more earthen embankment constructions may follow, maybe the Toddbrook Reservoir dam in Derbyshire in 2019 an early warning sign of such things failing.<\/p>\n<p>13\/12\/2025 &#8211; 2 more days of higher than normal solar activity. With the recent band it seems to have changed things a bit. The previous data suggested that the peak of solar activity had passed and that the solar maximum had too. But this change suggested a new larger peak possible in May 2026 or shortly after, which agrees with the original idea of a peak around 28\/06\/2026.<\/p>\n<p>11\/12\/2025 &#8211; 6 Midlands hospitals have declared a critical incident level from H3N2 A influenza (subclade K), bringing the total to 16, far apart as Cornwall to Basingstoke and Plymouth to Lancashire, but still only half that of the peak of admissions in 2023. The problem is that the rise appears quicker, having risen by 50% in the past week, and earlier, many medical staff saying they have never experienced this sort of rise, so it might exceed the past totals.<\/p>\n<p>10\/12\/2025 &#8211; 36 Days of continuous higher than normal solar activity.<\/p>\n<p>01\/12\/2025 &#8211; 27 Days of continuous higher than normal solar activity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_981\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-981\" class=\"size-full wp-image-981\" src=\"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/HPlus-screen-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/HPlus-screen-001.jpg 800w, https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/HPlus-screen-001-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/HPlus-screen-001-768x345.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-981\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot<\/p><\/div>\n<p>30\/10\/2025 &#8211; JetBlue flight 1230, an Airbus A320, traveling from Mexico to New Jersey, which landed at in Tampa at 14:19 EST, experienced a sudden drop in altitude on 30\/10\/2025 that was probably down to the sun\u2019s radiation that is a lot higher at altitude, affecting its electronics that cause a number of injuries. It\u2019s no surprise that with the high levels of solar radiation we have been experiencing at the moment that Airbus are hastily upgrading about 6,000 aircraft, and this is a thing that probably applies to many aircraft manufacturers. It\u2019s said to be just a precautionary thing, but the speed and scope of the recall suggests otherwise, something that is suddenly becoming noticeable with the change in the current sun\u2019s environment. It\u2019s probable also linked to the latitude of the aircraft and the time of day. If the radiation can affect covered and shielded electronics then there may be a problem with the effect on people in those planes.<\/p>\n<p>Offline for a while. Things haven&#8217;t been going too well, but hopefully will get to some level of normality so I can continue with this site.<\/p>\n<p>09\/09\/2025 &#8211; Strong radio burst from the sun lasting 19 days. Previous maximum length having been 5 days.<\/p>\n<p>24\/08\/2025 &#8211; Axial seamount on Juan de Fuca Ridge 300 mile West of Cannon Beach, Oregon seems to be expanding quickly. This volcano might produce quite an eruption given the recent place movement that cause eruptions and earthquakes at Kamchatka. The Kamchatka quakes were recorded as very strong effects 9 minutes later shaking instruments near the Axial seamount, a tsunami wave arriving there 6.5 hours later.<\/p>\n<p>07\/08\/2025 &#8211; Largest wildfire in France since 1949.<\/p>\n<p>07\/08\/2025 &#8211; Earthquakes in New York and multiple ones in Southern California<\/p>\n<p>06\/08\/2025 &#8211; Alpha-gal syndrome, an elevated immune response is spreading quickly from tick bites around the world and now found on all continents. This can cause allergic reactions as the alpha-gal sugar molecule is found in many meats and dairy products, gelatin&#8217;s and some medical products that us animal sources such as heparin, although conjugated oestrogen is not so common these days.<\/p>\n<p>05\/08\/2025 &#8211; 7 volcanoes so far have erupted in Kamchatka region. This is the first time for 300 years.<\/p>\n<p>03\/08\/2025 &#8211; Krasheninnikov erupts for first time for 600 years<\/p>\n<p>03\/08\/2025 &#8211; Snowfall in New South Wales. First since 1985.<\/p>\n<p>30\/07\/2025 &#8211; 8.8 magnitude earthquake off east coast of Kamchatka peninsula. The eastern side of Asia does seem to be showing a lot more seismic activity than usual, a cluster starting around 17 days ago, and a gradual escalation in the past 3 months to the large one around Kamchatka, maybe continuing for another week, whereas the eastern side of the Pacific is showing quite a reduced level compared to normal. The world normally shows around 60,000 earthquakes a day, maybe 250 of them significant, but the recent 350 significant ones are a bit unusual and quite a bit more than average. If the pacific plate has released a lot of pressure on the western side, especially to the North there is a chance that the eastern side may also slip upwards suddenly. So far there have been 6 major earthquakes in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Some earthquake stats for Asia, most of them being in the east.<\/p>\n<p>22 x 4+ earthquakes on average in the past year, 116 in the past 2 days<\/p>\n<p>2.4 x 5+ earthquakes on average in the past year, 134 in the past 2 days<\/p>\n<p>0.15 x 6+ earthquakes on average in the past year, 10 in the past 2 days<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still within fairly normal long-term levels unless it continues for more than a week.<\/p>\n<p>21\/07\/2025 &#8211; Confirmed 22 whales died in the San Francisco Bay in 2025, mainly grey whales. Numbers of grey whales have decreased by about 32% over the past 6 years, or 48% over the past 9 years. Normally they live for around 60 years and travel around 12,000 miles to their breeding grounds, diving to the sea floor and sucking up algae, but the change in ice levels along their path seems to limit the availability of this algae, and routes taken for migration have shown a loss in sightings, some completely. There is some support that the whales use the earth&#8217;s magnetic field for navigation and strandings occur because of recent solar activity, a large correlation seen between sunspots and strandings, the sun still at a high level of activity overall and may be for another year or two.<\/p>\n<p>15\/07\/2025 &#8211; With all the ladybirds around, being large swarms of them over the weekend in Burnham and Weston Super Mare you do wonder where they all went to. This morning I did my usually walk along the shore and found what I estimated as tens of millions of them mixed in with the seaweed. They were mostly on the seaweed line so likely went off shore, perished and were washed in.<br \/>\nI think it is more than being just a larger amount of things like aphids to eat as there doesn\u2019t seem to be the infestations of their prey that would prompt such large numbers, requiring a similar swarming event, but likely more because their lifecycles have been accelerated due to what\u2019s called a second quick heatwave within weeks of each other prompting hatching.<br \/>\nIf their cycle is disrupted too much by similar events we might find that fewer ladybirds survive until the following year due to numbers not being spread evenly among food supplies for them with a potential population collapse. This could prompt a sudden increase and advantage for the pests and our own food supplies and gardens.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-972\" src=\"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092227.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1512\" height=\"2016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092227.jpg 1512w, https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092227-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092227-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092227-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1512px) 100vw, 1512px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-973\" src=\"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1512\" height=\"2016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092212.jpg 1512w, https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092212-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092212-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20250715_092212-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1512px) 100vw, 1512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>05\/07\/2025 &#8211; Bluetongue now extends to the whole of England and moving at around 5 miles a day. It is now July with a possible 3-4 month expansion level, so it&#8217;s like that half of Wales and Scotland with their large sheep populations may be infected by the end of the year, and probably all by next year. This suggests Ireland starting in a couple of years and being similar by 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>04\/07\/2025 &#8211; Covid XFG, Stratus and XFG.3 a hybrid or recombination versions of Covid, are expanding quite quickly in the UK with people now advised to stay home if they contract it. With this development there is a possibility now of a recombination mutation developing with long term more serious variants that could still be at large by someone being infected by both. Depends on how specific the mutational species needs to be, MERS in the middle east would be a nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>24\/06\/2025 &#8211; Sub-station electrical fires. We have been seeing quite a few stations catching fire within the last couple of months. There is a possibility that this could be due to sabotage, but considering that maybe as much as 40% of the UK&#8217;s infrastructure is 50 years old or more, maintenance and repairs postponed to maximise profits for power companies, and a move to &#8216;green,&#8217; but very fickle powers sources, it&#8217;s getting closer here to the sort of outages in Spain and Portugal that also nearly took down a few countries systems on the peripheral. In every area resilience is being compromised on cost, people trying to make or save money by cutting function.<\/p>\n<p>07\/06\/2025 &#8211; Cases of Covid NB.1.8.1 have doubled in the UK since march to around 6%, with a 6% increase in deaths from it.<\/p>\n<p>07\/06\/2024 &#8211; Bluetongue so far hasn&#8217;t been detected in gloucestershire, worcestershire, staffordshire, derbyshire, cheshire, durham, or cumbria yet, but this is likely within the next couple of months, so restrictions on sheep and goats are likely after this.<\/p>\n<p>07\/06\/2025 &#8211; We have now had a lot higher than normal activity from the sun since February with brief lulls. The latest high activity started 9 days ago. We will see if today, the 16th, or the 20th also has a peak activity that should give some idea as to the period of growth.<\/p>\n<p>25\/05\/2025 &#8211; New variant of covid known as NB.1.8.1 appearing in China and found at US airports. This new version although more similar to the latest ones seems about twice as virulent as previous ones. The proportion of serious cases seems about double and people testing positive seems slightly over double. If you compare pre-Omicron with post Omicron values that were around a quarter, you get an estimated risk rating of maybe as high as half. With the provision and uptake of vaccines having reduced dramatically there could be a major event developing.<\/p>\n<p>24\/05\/2025 &#8211; Bluetongue is on the move again in the UK. Now discovered in Lancashire.<\/p>\n<p>22\/05\/2025 &#8211; According to recent research an 8.0 magnitude earthquake along the Cascadia fault line could cause a major tidal wave to hit the West Coast of the US within the next 50 years. On average there has been a major shift in the Cascadia Fault around every 246 years, with the last major earthquake along this line in about 1700.<\/p>\n<p>21\/05\/2025 &#8211; Today an asteroid 2025KF, about 18m in diameter, getting onto the weight of the titanic, but travelling 1,000 times the speed, came within two days advance notice of its direction and passed about 9 earth diameters that could have taken out central London. A rough estimate of the effect would be the equivalent of a 2-megaton nuclear device, similar in power to something like the Russian Poseidon Underwater Nuclear Drone.<\/p>\n<p>23\/04\/2025 &#8211; We have now had around a 60 day band of higher than normal solar activity.<\/p>\n<p>19\/04\/2025 &#8211; Still quite a few new premises infected with bird flu, areas constantly leaving and joining the list of them.<\/p>\n<p>09\/04\/2025 &#8211; Austria closes 24 border points with Slovakia and Hungary after foot and mouth outbreaks in those countries. Hungary first had a case on march 7th and Slovakia on march 21st.<\/p>\n<p>03\/04\/2025 &#8211; 8th day of higher than normal solar activity. A NOAA, from it&#8217;s predictive model suggests we have passed solar maximum in august 2024, but we may be in for up to 2 years of additional effects. But there have been instances of double peaks, with some suggesting the peaks of 2023 and 2024 were that already. The problem is that the prediction from that model suggested a peak of around 125 would occur sometime around July 2025, but around August 2024 it already had reached a peak of 156, 25% above the figure that was expected around a year later. From the heightened levels of solar activity after august the is a good chance that the evidence of a maximum from the models might have been only because of higher than normal predicted figures than expected happening so far. The solar maximum being suggested because the models rather than the data says so.<\/p>\n<p>29\/03\/2025 &#8211; Major 7.7 magnitude earthquake near Mandalay in Myanmar about in the middle of the Sagaing Fault that runs down through the centre of it and skirts the IndoBurman Ranges. This is the 7th 7+ earthquake in the last 100 years on this fault, but this time affected nearby Thailand and caused damage in Bangkok which is much farther south, so the results from earthquakes are rare, major movements mainly affecting the more northerly zone of Thailand where the Sunda and South China plates meet.<\/p>\n<p>21\/03\/2025 &#8211; Fire at substation at Heathrow Airport closing it for the day. The coincidence of March being an important cargo month, the end of the UK tax year when firms are offsetting tax and budgets, it being a friday, one of the busiest days leading into the weekend and the reliance of such a single route logistic is very worrying in this time of unusual infrastructure damages. Thi doesn&#8217;t just affect the UK, but the whole world through other dependencies where necessary rerouting and rescheduling disrupts many areas. If it does turn out to be because of a 50 pence resistor, capacitor or relay it suggests nothing has been learned about resilience planning in 60 years since the North East US outage.<\/p>\n<p>15\/02\/2025 &#8211; Bluetongue has now been additionally detected in Devon and Somerset, so with the onset of milder weather it&#8217;s likely to continue its spread to other parts of the country around Easter time. Bird flu continues to be a major problem in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>14\/02\/2025 &#8211; Single Measles outbreak in the Texas rises to 48. The last outbreak was last year in Illinois last year. Measles is highly contagious, with about a 90% infection rate for the unvaccinated if exposed to it and rates for vaccination have fallen quite dramatically tending to loss of crowd immunity levels around the world.<\/p>\n<p>08\/02\/2025 &#8211; Outbreak of H7N8 bird flu in Victoria, Australia<\/p>\n<p>31\/01\/2025 &#8211; Bird Flu, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPIA H5N1) 2.3.4.4b-D1.1 has been found in dairy cattle in Nevada by the APHIS service of the USDA and also Arizona, the worldwide stain H5N1 2.3.4.4b being the most common elsewhere in the world. So far, only one human death has been attributed to the D1.1 genotype, but this detection on dairy cattle rather than a freak one-off event. This may suggest that there is a definite evolution of the virus to infecting other forms of mammals including humans and has become the main variant is the US in wild birds, domestic poultry and mammals. If this continues in this trend then we couldhave a similar or worse position that we had with covid-19. To date, most of the 67 human cases of H5N1 since 2022 have happened in the US last year, with goats, pigs, cats and in cows becoming endemic. At the moment it has all the hallmarks for a possible epidemic, with a possible potential for it becoming airborne through particulates, a change being the main mutation that would allow this to happen. In the past 3 1\/2 years it has killed maybe 280 million birds, but about 40,000 sea lions and elephant seals have died from it.<\/p>\n<p>29\/01\/2025 &#8211; Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is on the increase in the UK and could cause a major problem. It can mimic flu with its symptoms of cough, runny nose, asthma flare-ups sore trhroat and shortness of breath and is more prevalent in older people.<\/p>\n<p>28\/01\/2025 &#8211; Bird flu again is making the rounds in the UK taking over importance from bluetongue that probably because of the cooler weather has slowed in it&#8217;s spread. As the weather changes and becomes warmer this may change drastically.<\/p>\n<p>27\/01\/2025 &#8211; Flooding again in various parts of the UK after the severe storm \u00c9owyn. Herminia added extra water on top of already saturated fields. At least there were no storm surge combinations with high tides this time, most being in the north. If the jetstream polar front jet has a large amplification and to the south coinciding with tides and moon then we could have a problem similar to December 2013-2014 in the Somerset levels.<\/p>\n<p>22\/12\/2024 &#8211; Bluetongue has now been detected in: Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Dorset, East Sussex, Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, London, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Warwickshire, West Sussex, Wiltshire and East Yorkshire. It still looks like it is moving around 5 miles a week, so unless a severe winter happens it&#8217;s likely it may reach Wales around May 2025 and Scotland this time next year, both large sheep raising areas.<\/p>\n<p>21\/12\/2024 &#8211; Bluetongue has now been additionally detected in a number of places in East Dorset<\/p>\n<p>17\/12\/2024 &#8211; Bird Flu, Influenza H5N1 continues to travel around the UK found now in most areas. The highest potential for cross species transfers and possible onward transmission to humans probably comes from Norfolk, East Yorkshire and Humberside as this has the highest concentration of Bird and Pig farms.<\/p>\n<p>24\/11\/2024 &#8211; Bluetongue has now been additionally detected in City of York &amp; Wiltshire<\/p>\n<p>17-18\/11\/2024 &#8211; Two undersea fibre optic telecoms cables severed in Baltic sea, one linking Finland and Germany and the other Sweden and Lithuania in Swedish waters. In the past a Chinese vessel leaving Russia was linked to damage of a Finland-Sweden-Estonia comms cable as well as a Finnish-Estonian gas pipeline last year. The Nordstream pipelines were definately explosive devices in September 2022. If you count Shetland, 7 such events in 3 years, after little before, is a bit statistically suspicious. Either somebody is starting to use this as a form of hybrid tactical strategy, or people who are operating the ships have become very careless and complacent. Both would be very concerning, as major vital gas and oil pipelines could be at risk.<\/p>\n<p>13\/11\/2024 &#8211; Bluetongue has now been additionally detected in North Yorkshire and moving westwards across Berkshire.<\/p>\n<p>12\/11\/2024 &#8211; Large number of swans and other water birds found dead in the Grand Union Canal in London, England. They seem to have all died from Botulism. Botulism is being poined by the Botulinus Toxin, a neurotransmitter inhibitor and muscular blocking agent that the bacteria Clostridium Botulinus produces mainly when it is stressed by a lack of oxygen. It is a common bacteria, present in many things, but usually only produces the toxin when it is allowed to propagate then confined, so an open air occurrence is odd.<\/p>\n<p>10\/11\/2024 &#8211; 16th day of higher than normal solar activity. So far we have had ending 10\/1, 23\/1, 29\/1, 17\/2, 12\/4, 16\/5, 9\/6, 21\/8, 30\/10 and 16\/11.<\/p>\n<p>09\/11\/2024 &#8211; Bluetongue has now been additionally detected on and in: Isle of Wight and Oxfordshire<\/p>\n<p>09\/11\/2024 &#8211; Skynet-1A, a satellite launched in 1969, has unusually moved from its normal location that was about 140 degrees from where it is now, about 22,000 miles. Nobody seems to know why this is and is unexpected. This is on top of the Boeing Intelsat 33e satellite, part of its EpicNG system that seems to have shattered into something like 500 large pieces on October 17th, 23 days ago.<br \/>\nThis is not singular occurrence as the Chinese satellite Yunhai 1-02 did the same on 18\/03\/2021 and was just put down to a collision with space junk, close calls such as with the Electronic Intelligence satellite Cosmos 2082 that was part of the 18 ELINT satellites that Russia launched quite common as all the upper stages were also mainly left in similar orbits. You do wonder if all those \u2018discarded stages\u2019 were just discarded and some may have been still active.<br \/>\nAlternatively it could be a symptom of a Kessler Syndrome where it becomes no longer safe to travel into space or position something there.<br \/>\nAn intentional Kessler effect may be something that a society that is falling behind in technology and the space race may promote in a denial of access way. If they can\u2019t have space security over their country, they will make sure nobody else can. Then again, it may be no coincidence that since the Skynet-1A has basically moved in position very close to the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly, this may be the main cause. In which case, if things get worse with it, all satellites and maybe the ISS may move into danger. Since most rocket launched for efficiency are around this area it could eventually unless moved to area of much lower efficiency mean the end of mankind&#8217;s space race window.<\/p>\n<p>02\/11\/2024 &#8211; Bluetongue has now been detected in: Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, East Sussex, Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, London, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Warwickshire, West Sussex and East Yorkshire. It&#8217;s not sure the expansion is due to just more rigorous testing, or that it is expanding at a rate that seems to be about 5 miles a week. If the latter is the case then it could be about this time next year that it could reach the sheep areas of Wales, unless it contracts a lot over the winter period and possibly about 5 years to reach the same in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>02\/11\/2024 &#8211; 8th day of higher than normal solar activity. Probably the 10th this year.<\/p>\n<p>16\/10\/2024 &#8211; 11th day of higher than normal solar activity, today being extremely high. It may be a continuation of the last period, extending it to 45 days, or a new one, making it the 9th.<\/p>\n<p>01\/10\/2024 &#8211; 30 days of higher than normal solar activity. This is the 8th such period this year, march and may events being very significant, with the solar maximum still something like 9 months away. The probability is now it may be a much larger event than we have seen in the past.<\/p>\n<p>21\/09\/2024 &#8211; Bluetongue detected in Kent and East Sussex.<\/p>\n<p>08\/09\/2024 &#8211; Bluetongue detected at Withernsea, near Hull, Humberside.<\/p>\n<p>01\/09\/2024 &#8211; 5 bluetongue infected premises and 2 counties, Norfolk and Suffolk in the east of the UK with restricted movements so far. It is found in sheep and red deer, where it can be very severe and up to 90% mortality, cattle, goats and usually spread by virus infected midges with the warm weather. If warm weather is more common it is likely to spread automatically to other areas. Incubation is around couple of weeks and animals dying generally do so within a week, but survivors taking months to recover. In the UK and Denmark it is mainly BTV-8 that has maintained a continual path from North Africa, through Northern Italy and Eastern France in the past 25 years as suitable conditions for the host have arisen in those areas. Although it was first specified in South Africa 100 years ago. It is related to the rotaviruses African Horse sickness and Epizootic haemorrhagic disease, so possibly it may evolve and cross over to horses and humans through saturation.<\/p>\n<p>24\/08\/2024 &#8211; 13 Cases of West Nile Disease detected in Spain. West Nile virus is particularly dangerous for people over 50 and those who are vulnerable and\/or have conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer, being spread by infected mosquitoes.<\/p>\n<p>23\/08\/2024 &#8211; The Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland seems to becomeing more active after 600 years, similar to a number of other places around the world.<\/p>\n<p>20\/08\/2024 &#8211; Unusually high numbers of Parvovirus B19 and erythema infectiosum, a viral infection from it recorded in Europe and America. There is a possibility that widespread infections by Covid may have sponsored weaknesses that are allowing such diseases to infect easier and get a foothold where they normally wouldn&#8217;t. We seem to be finding this with Mpox, Oropouche, malaria, japanese encephalitis, buruli, Langya henipavirus and possibly Bird Flu (H5N1), Pig flu (H1N2), with Scabies, Measles, Scarlet Fever, Duke&#8217;s disease, Rosealla and Rubella all showing rises. Though it may be just down to failing medical services.<\/p>\n<p>16\/08\/2024 &#8211; Covid seems to be rising again confirmed from values found in wastewater and hospitalisations around the world. Direct tracking has all but stopped in every country with every government assuming it is all over and finished with, no longer vaccinating efficiently, or at all in many cases to deal with an ongoing problem. Covid seems to have other ideas.<\/p>\n<p>14\/08\/2024 &#8211; Mpox in Africa tending towards a 60% increase this year as new strains such as Clade IIb are evolving. Mortality on average seems to be around 3.3%, nearly twice that of early Covid-19, but the differences between clade I and clade II seem to suggest that the more dangerous clade I is about 5-10 times the level of clade II, most of the mortality, about 75% being among those under 15, those with compromised immunity, or a history of severe eczema or pregnant. The method of transfer seems to be close physical contact, but aerosol droplet driven like covid. 1st Case of the more dangerous version, Clade 1 confirmed in Europe. So far no cases of clade I have been reported in the U, although there have been 30,000 cases of clade II. In Africa, the main vector seems to be small rodents and monkeys.<\/p>\n<p>11\/08\/2024 &#8211; In the last two months 19 cases of the Oropouche virus have been found in Europe from people that have travelled to South America. It is spread by insect bites that included midges and mosquitoes. About 9,000 cases have been seen in South America this year, together with the first deaths, so it appears to be changing. With warming climate in Europe it probably is only time before it becomes endemic here.<\/p>\n<p>11\/08\/2024 &#8211; 21 days of higher than normal levels from sun.<\/p>\n<p>06\/08\/2024 &#8211; 11 days of higher x-rays than normal levels from sun.<\/p>\n<p>05\/08\/2024 &#8211; Two Common Dolphins dead in Thames River, London. Usually common dolphins do not venture up the river, but there have been 5 this year that did and died.<\/p>\n<p>28\/07\/2024 &#8211; Accrington in Lancashire invaded by up to 3,000 seagulls. It is about 30 miles from the coast and 53.75 degrees north.<\/p>\n<p>19\/07\/2024 &#8211; Problems today at Microsoft and Crowdstrike that caused total outages at airlines, rail companies, banks and card payment systems, media, and healthcare around the world.<\/p>\n<p>11\/07\/2024 &#8211; 65 Pilot Whales stranded on the Traigh Mhor Beach on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. None are likely to survive.<\/p>\n<p>13\/06\/2024 &#8211; 9 days of higher than normal levels of activity from sun, the fourth such occurrence this year totalling 92 days out of 167 or 55%. Solar maximum should be around 380 days away.<\/p>\n<p>05\/06\/2024 &#8211; 3 days of higher than normal levels from sun.<\/p>\n<p>30\/05\/2024 &#8211; 2 days of higher than normal x-ray levels from sun. It&#8217;s very likely that if there is going to be a major CME that is very disruptive we will have 2 days advanced notice from a prior X-Ray burst.<\/p>\n<p>24\/05\/2024 &#8211; 16 days so far of continuous higher than normal solar activity, the third such occurrence this year totalling 69 days out of 144 or 48%.<\/p>\n<p>24\/05\/2024 &#8211; Human infection of H5N1 bird flu shows notable mutations suggesting a higher potential for human infection. Recent mutations showed changes in the PB2 gene that seem to be linked to the ability for increased replication and virulence in mammals. How humans will deal with a new and relatively unexposed to virus is unknown. Previous tests on mice also suggested a good possibility of enhanced level infection due to mutation. There have been virus particles found in meat sent to US abattoirs with the suggestion that the virus be eradicated by cooking meat to a well-done level. So far the virus has not passed onto pigs, a sign of an immediate threat.<\/p>\n<p>12\/05\/2024 &#8211; 11 Cats have died from H5N1 in Texas, possibly from ingesting untreated cow&#8217;s milk.<\/p>\n<p>10\/05\/2024 &#8211; High solar activity. Possible CME fitting evening of 10\/05\/2024.<\/p>\n<p>09\/05\/2024 &#8211; Very high X-ray level from Sun.<\/p>\n<p>25\/04\/2024 &#8211; 12 days of higher than normal x-ray activity from sun.<\/p>\n<p>25\/05\/2024 &#8211; 160 Pilot whales stranded on Toby Inlet beach in Western Australia of which 26 died. 100 Pilot whales died after stranding on Cheynes Beach, Albany, Western Australia on 25\/07\/2023. 320 Pilot whales died after stranding on 22\/09\/2022 in Tasmania. 360 Pilot whales died after being found on 21\/09\/2020 stuck on a sand bar in Tasmania. 50 Pilot whales died on Traigh Mhor beach in North Tolsta, on the Isle of Lewis on 16\/07\/2023. 14 Sperm whales were found beached on King Island, north of Tasmania on 20\/09\/2022. All this may be linked to a disruption of magnetoreception and changing magnetic fields in the world.<\/p>\n<p>24\/04\/2024 &#8211; H5N1 influenza virus has been detected in cows and milk in the US. It has now been detected in wildlife in mainly red foxes in the east of the US and skunks and mountain lions in the west, most above the 40th parallel, but most mammals including humans have had cases. Most of the dairy cattle infections are with older cows in Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico that are below the 40th parallel. About 1\/3rd of milk samples have trace of the virus. At the moment pigs seem not susceptible to the virus, but chickens definitely are. Pigs could be a possible direct vector into humans, being a lot closer related in compatible structure having possibly developed together, especially if they are in close proximity to chickens, which is a possibility that happened with the various waves in the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak. A crossover or breakthrough evolution may not conform to the vaccines that are being developed and with uncontrolled movement may spread very quickly and out of control.<\/p>\n<p>23\/04\/2024 &#8211; 4 major coronal mass ejections observed. Likely to hit on 25\/04\/2024.<\/p>\n<p>19\/04\/2024 &#8211; 6 days of higher than normal solar activity.<\/p>\n<p>14\/04\/2024 &#8211; Higher than normal solar activity.<\/p>\n<p>14\/04\/2024 &#8211; 5 days of regular pulsing solar activity.<\/p>\n<p>06\/03\/2024 &#8211; Back to normal level after higher than normal solar activity for 45 days.<\/p>\n<p>03\/03\/2024 &#8211; 43 days worth of nearly continuous higher than normal solar activity, suggesting a real build up. The unusual band started on 22nd January. A normal higher intensity band lasts for maybe 2-5 days, but we have had 11 day band at the start of January and checking back a slightly unusual 14 day one in November. It could be that this is normal for the run up to a solar maximum, the last one in April 2014 when recording was not so advanced and the previous one November 2001, but it implies that the sun could during this time have a higher base line for affecting earth, very large flares in 2003 and in February 2022 knocking out 40 Starlink satellites.<\/p>\n<p>09\/02\/2024 &#8211; A return to higher than normal solar activity, not really disappearing since 20 days ago. AR3576<\/p>\n<p>06\/02\/2024 &#8211; 17th day higher than normal solar activity. Dipped for a few hours on the 5th.<\/p>\n<p>05\/02\/2024 &#8211; Radio blackouts in Australia ans SE Asia<\/p>\n<p>29\/01\/2024 &#8211; Both proton and x-ray levels from sun much higher than normal.<\/p>\n<p>24\/01\/2024 &#8211; Wetter and warmer weather due to changing world climate has meant that diseases like malaria, japanese encephalitis and buruli, carried by such creatures as mosquitoes are moving farther north and south in areas, so that areas that have rarely recorded it like Canada, the UK, Southern Australia and South Africa may see cases and a return to places it&#8217;s been eradicated.<\/p>\n<p>23\/01\/2024 &#8211; Very high solar activity. Common most interval still 41 days. Second most common interval now 38 days, averaging 40.57. Next risk point about 01\/03\/2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">10\/01\/2024 &#8211; We are now on the 11th day of higher than normal solar activity.<\/p>\n<p>02\/01\/2024 &#8211; A Polar Bear died from H5N1 in Alaska. Previous mammal crossovers but not as far as deaths were November in Brown Bears and April in Foxes, more southerly ranging animals. In the UK, cases in birds have been detected throughout, luckily crossover cases are rare, but with large numbers in commercial flocks and close human and other commercial animal proximity it may be a matter of time before something bad emerges. It seems to be now passing the antarctic penisula with elephant seals dying in large numbers, so there is emerging a massive risk for birds such as Penguins populations. Because of the cold they are always under stress, but an epidemic combined with a slowly disappearing habitat due to climate change may give rise to severe effects.<\/p>\n<p>01\/01\/2024 &#8211; Scabies on the increase in the UK in humans, especially in children and the young. It is caused by the same sort of mite, Sarcoptes scabiei that causes mange in dogs, cats and cattle.<\/p>\n<p>01\/01\/2024 &#8211; 7.5 magnitude earthquake in Ishikawa, Japan.<\/p>\n<p>22\/12\/2023 &#8211; Chronic Wasting Disease or CWD is on the increase in various states in the US. It seems related to BSE as they seem both to occur from malformed proteins called prions. At the moment no crossover with humans is known and it occurs in mainly wild deer. Areas that have infections seem to keep on getting further infections and expanding even after a period of them disappearing, so the odds are in favour of something in the environment or close contact, the likeliest being from animal waste contaminating an area. Deer are unlikely to eat each other or from being fed common contaminated protein feeds, this having been investigated. If this is the case then a crossover with humans may be down to simply waste from an infected animal occurring in a human consumed crop.<\/p>\n<p>16\/12\/2023 &#8211; Unusually high proton emissions from sun. Most common interval between these seems to be about 41 days, so risk point 26\/01\/2024.<\/p>\n<p>16\/12\/2023 &#8211; Anthrax cases in Africa on the increase.<\/p>\n<p>27\/11\/2023 &#8211; New strain of Pig flu (H1N2) discovered in a human in North Yorkshire. Human infections of this are rare, only about 50 cases worldwide in the past 18 years which may suggest some general adaptation or weakness caused by the presence of another disease.<\/p>\n<p>27\/11\/2023 &#8211; Unknown disease that resembles cellulitis has killed 14 people in South Western Uganda. The outbreak seems similar to one that killed 13 people in that area 16 months ago.<\/p>\n<p>26\/11\/2023 &#8211; Covid Omicron EG.5.1 (Eris) seems to be one of the most common forms with others like BA.2.86 and HV.1 still developing. So far none of the strains show any sign of being a breakout event and becoming more dangerous or serious. But they are all still present and doing the rounds maybe with a cumulative long term direct or indirect effect.<\/p>\n<p>23\/11\/2023 &#8211; Large outbreak of pneumonia type illness in children in Northern China, possibly due to mycoplasma pneumoniae.<\/p>\n<p>15\/11\/2023 &#8211; Infections and deaths through antobiotic resistence seems to be running at an increase of about 4% a year at present. This in itself may trigger a breakout type affair and a resurgence of obsolete past diseases within maybe 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>10\/11\/2023 &#8211; Hundreds of earthquakes new Fagradalsfjall volcanos, iceland, suggesting imminent long term eruptions. There have been many extra events happening around the european plates also suggesting a new era of activity, possibly a worldwide situation.<\/p>\n<p>05\/11\/2023 &#8211; High proton emissions from sun.<\/p>\n<p>01\/11\/2023 &#8211; Tick borne diseases such as Lyme Disease, Encephalitis seem to be increasing in europe as the climate warms. There have now been recent cases of tick based Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>05\/10\/2023\u00a0 &#8211; A thousand songbirds crash into windows at lakeside exhibition centre in Chicago, mainly palm and yellow-rumped warblers. In the US it&#8217;s reckoned that 500 million birds crash into glass a year, but the normal night for the venue would be about 7. If you count the number of large buildings there are, it would normally average maybe 1 a day, but being on the lakeside 10 would not be unusual.<\/p>\n<p>25\/09\/2023 &#8211; Unusually high proton emissions from sun.<\/p>\n<p>17\/09\/2023 &#8211; Outbreaks of diseases such as Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya and Yellow fever are becoming more commonplace in the world. This may simply be down to the concentration on Covid or the global reduction in healthcare knock on effect it has caused. In every country healthcare seems to be becoming less efficient or available.<\/p>\n<p>04\/08\/2023 &#8211; New variant of Covid, Eris, starting to replace Omicron in UK.<\/p>\n<p>25\/07\/2023 &#8211; 90 Pilot Whales stranded on Cheynes Beach, Albany, West Australia. Whale strandings seems to be becoming more common.<\/p>\n<p>25\/07\/2023 &#8211; 2 northern bottlenose whales stranded at Fife, Scotland. A cold whale, they are not usually found so far south.

The cats showed signs of severe systemic infection with things like lesions on their hearts, brains, eyes and lungs. It was noted and suggested that the virus had 2 mutations that made it easier to transmit to mammals.<\/p>\n<p>23\/06\/2023 &#8211; New case of MERS in Abu Dhabi.

It is between 200-700 light years away. An estimate of a similar distance supernova from about 2-3 million years ago and accumulations of radioactive iron on the sea bed suggests that there might be little effect if it did happen, but again this is an assumption as nobody was around to tell if it did.<\/p>\n<p>11\/06\/2023 Mayon Volcano, Philippines, erupting. Last time 2018.<\/p>\n<p>11\/06\/2023 &#8211; Large numbers of dead fish wash up on Quintana and Bryan beaches of Brazoria County, Texas, said to be because of water temperature above 70\u00b0F.

At the current rate it is possible that it will no longer function as a water source in 100 years and the areas that currently rely on it in the West of the US and Mexico, (California, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Baja California and Sonoramay) may become unviable. The East of the US may become a lot wetter and prone to more severe storms, especially the central Tornado corridor and coastlines that may flood and be affected by bigger storms surges.<\/p>\n<p>16\/04\/2023 &#8211; Fresh water leaking from the Cascadia Megathrust in the Pacific Northwest suggesting that tectonic and fault movement may be likely to increase.<\/p>\n<p>30\/03\/2023 &#8211; As the world warms up we may find that species benign in a colder environment start to cause problems as they evolve and adapt to life in a warmer one. Another prospect is that the worlds currents, cycles and gyres and the air patterns above them will probably change, leading to advantage and disadvantage to previously farming intensive practices and positions. Deserts may become arable plains and arable plains deserts.<\/p>\n<p>30\/03\/2023 &#8211; Avian flu (H5N1) is being found in more wild mammals in the UK that have high exposure to infected birds.<\/p>\n<p>29\/03\/2023 &#8211; Thousands of starfish, mussels, razor clams and crabs wash up on <b>Saltburn-by-the-Sea beach in similar area to 25\/10\/2021.

When in hospital treatment has also altered in a similar proportion, suggesting that risk of major complications including death has altered by about half this proportion, 45% greater risk and 10% since last year.<\/p>\n<p>18\/12\/2022 &#8211; China is continuing to show an increasing infection rate with BA.5.2.1.7, also known as BF.7, and with the large population in that country who are still unvaccinated there may be a large chance of a combinatory variant occurring stealthily under the guise of less problematic ones. A SARS\/Omicron variant outbreak would probably not be good, as we would possible not know for a long time, after which it may have been in circulation, preventing it from being contained.<\/p>\n<p>17\/12\/2022 &#8211; About 1,200 people seem to be dying a week in the UK more than should for this time of year considering the mild weather and the low figures for Covid.<\/p>\n<p>16\/12\/2022 &#8211; Japanese Encephalitis, a mosquito borne disease that infects animals and can infect humans seems to be spreading as the world warms up and new areas are starting to appear in more temperate climes.<\/p>\n<p>15\/12\/2022 &#8211; Bird Flu (H5N1) is still spreading and has now been found in Herefordshire in UK. So far Wales has been mainly free, but with birds migrating due to the winter from the continent this is unlikely to continue. It is still mainly in the East of the UK, but has been found as far south as Torquay, Devon and as far north as Banff in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>15\/12\/2022 &#8211; Very strong x-ray emissions from sun.<\/p>\n<p>08\/12\/2022 &#8211; Deaths from Strep A infections in children now at 15 in UK, 7 in the last week, with infections of scarlet fever now at 23,000 compared to 2,300 a year ago.

Next point around 24\/02\/2023.<\/p>\n<p>04\/12\/2022 Bodies of 1,700 seals found off Caspian Sea Coastline. In the past there have been outbreaks of canine distemper virus (morbillivirus, related to measles in humans) in 1997, 2000 &amp; 2001 and a higher level of zinc and iron in the bodies that may be related to pollution and a resultant destabilising effect.<\/p>\n<p>29\/11\/2022 &#8211; Mauna Loa erupting after 38 years relative inactivity. Kilauea, 20 miles to the east has been erupting since 29\/09\/2021.

Usually thinking that things will sort themselves out. But I have noticed with the increasing complexity of our society and that events seem to be concentrating rather than taking a normal standard path. For example; More Zoonotic events and outbreak have happened in the past 100 years than in the previous 1,000, although we have been much better at fighting and controlling them, but breakthrough events are becoming more common, especially in the past 20 years, covid just being one that managed to get through all defences, quite easily, and probably being worse due to political influence and suppression, a thing that is increasing rather than being sorted out. With the fall of the iron curtain and Chinese integration and production war was 10 years ago extremely unlikely ever to happen again except for a few minor and local skirmishes. Nuclear war was impossible and a relic of the past. They are now very much on the cards and possibly being worked towards by many countries, each trying to rock the boat and gain a massive advantage. Maybe they will take the war into space and place nuclear missile stations and platforms on the moon to threaten the earth, wiping out any ship from another country that comes close, closed but to somebody from their country. The systems in the world are fragile and have many disruption and key continuity and supply points that are open to damage and officials are making them more fragile, regarding provision for resilience as an unnecessary expense. Resilience is considered not profitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>06\/09\/2026 &#8211; Anak Krakatau volcano, the new volcano that started forming after the Krakatoa eruption of 1883 has been sending clouds of ash up distrupting aircraft flights around the area as far as Jakarta in Indonesia. 06\/09\/2026 &#8211; Many areas around the ring of fire are showing increased numbers of earthquakes suggesting major movements are [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=271"}],"version-history":[{"count":375,"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1157,"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271\/revisions\/1157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doomwatch.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
