Two countries that rarely see tornadoes, the UK 및 일본, have both been hit with storms this week.  The Japan tornado wiped out power to over 20,000 가정, injured 20 people and killed one person.  Fortunately no significant damages were reported in the UK tornado.  In other news, Flint, 미시간, a place no stranger to tragedy, was deluged by rain earlier this week.  Flood waters were up to four feet (1.2m) in some areas of a state highway that was forced to close.  Nepal has also seen flooding this week resulting in the deaths of no fewer than 20 사람들.

One of the predicted effects of global warming on human life is the increase of crop damage.  The hail damage to crops in Lake City, 미네소타 is perhaps a data point in this disturbing trend.

While most of the United States is under the effects of a heatwave, with May temperatures more on par with June, the BBC predicted that 영국 will have temperatures colder than those on Christmas Day.

The week started off violently, with three people dying from lightning strikes in the Bengal region and another 17 에 India,  It is unusual to hear of this level of lightning fatalities, which was mentioned in last week’s newsletter.  Additionally in India, bad weather is blamed for the sinking of a ferry.  Norfolk, UK was doused by rain this weekend and fortunately there were no fatalities reported there.  While the heavy rain has flooded some parts of England, claiming the lives of a man and his dog, it is not enough to counteract the drought that envelopes the country.

Heat waves seem to be sweeping the globe, 및 Europe is no exception, seeing record-breaking heat, sometimes nearly twice what is expected (in Celcius) in many places.  Where the average temperatures for this time of year are about 15ºC (59ºF), the temperatures are nearly 30ºC (86ºF).

In other news, a tornado struck the south of France this week, a very rare event indeed.  Fortunately, the damage it caused was minimal.

Whereas the USA and Canada saw winter return with a vengeance in mid-to-late February, by the middle of March it experienced far more erratic weather, 와 droughts, heat waves, 폭풍 and then, just as suddenly in some areas, more snowfall. Meanwhile, the cherry blossom trees of Washington, DC bloomed weeks early due to the unusually warm weather. Indeed, Spring’s early arrival allowed farmers in New Jersey to get into the fields two weeks early but forced them to deal with an increase of crop-eating insects due to the mild winter. Overall, it was a very warm March, with dozens of record temperatures being set.

In other parts of the world, the warm weather had troubling effects. In Morocco, droughts caused the country’s cereal harvests to falter. Northern Mexico experienced its worst drought in 71 년, causing a severe shortage of food and water across the country. Meanwhile, Vietnam braced itself for Tropical Storm Pakhar, 및 Fiji experienced flash floods. 그러나, just when it had seemed that Spring had come for good, citizens of western Serbia experienced large snowfalls, and in Scotland snow fell just days after record-breaking heat waves.

Thus, to call the weather over the past six weeks “erratic” seems like an understatement. It’s a period that has seen record heat waves and snow storms, and droughts and floods, often in the same places.
