Britain to shiver in temperatures ‘colder than the South Pole’ as health chiefs say more than 1,500 people a week could die from killer freeze

Warning of ice forming on untreated surfaces

A cold snap that has left dozens dead across Eastern Europe will reach Britain by the weekend.
Temperatures are set to plunge far below freezing point making the country even colder than the South Pole. Forecasters are expecting overnight temperatures of between -8c (18f) and -10c (14f) on Friday.
The McMurdo research facility in Antarctica is currently recording -6c (21f) at night. The bitter cold has forced some countries to deploy their armed forces and set up emergency accommodation.
Health chiefs have also started warning that as a result of the freezing conditions, more than 1,500 people a week could be killed by the weather.
To help deal with the extreme cold, the Army has been put on standby. Around four inches of snow and ice could cover part of the country after a high pressure system hanging over Scandinavia which is pushing raw winds towards the UK.
seems like a scene from ‘the day after tomorrow’, where the north atlantic current comes to a standstill and stops warm winds from reaching UK
Cyclone Thane uprooted more than 2 crore trees in Cuddalore district. Disposal of trees will take atleast another 6 month’s due to shortage of manpower and other reasons.

Hi guys, nice to see you all keeping the blog active, during the dry winter days….Missing chennai much… Hope to be back soon…
As Martin pointed out, its freezing cold here right in Bad Homburg, Germany now…Temperature shows -13C currently….
Forecasts predict -20c over the weekend…. But this year there was much less snow…only four snowy days as of now…
Not fun then
Lots of spas in Bad Homburg. So, winter can be fun there – if you can afford the place (great window shopping though!)

“Radar Operation Suspended for Annual Maintenance”
IMD Chennai is cleverly utilizing this period of “nonsense weather” to do Patti and Tinkering of radar in order to make it efficiently work during pre-monsoon cyclone in April !!! 😀
According to a series of studies being done by meteorologists, there would be a 26% fall in annual rainfall in the next few decades in Kerala with, predictably, serious consequences
That 26% is not going anywhere..it will shift to Chennai! 😀

mauritius escaped by an inch,,,.giovanna (>120knts ,933mb) going to be a deadly cyclone of tis year 2012 for africa…big threat for madagascar approaching..
http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view.php?id=77149
cyclone giovanna is a strong cat 4 storm.From latest satellite and MIMIC its clear that its going through an eyewall replacement cycle like cyclone funso.This will make system to weaken slightly or show a flat intensifcation trend for next few hours.Once the cycle is completed it will intensify again.

Wet phase approaching so lets see what happens……….
Wet phase? Trust me chances of rain arriving before April are remote. Even rain in April is not guaranteed
kea that cant happen because its a la nina and mjo activity is good even during the driest month there maybe a few showers due to this so lets keep our fingers crossed… by the way are you going the models?… if so then dont go…. go by the mjo activity also la nina tends to bring good rainfall during these months for us…. 😉
Hey jupi…r u talking about weather in Jupiter??? LOL 😀
