So I just took a look at the temperatures for last 30 days in northern Norway and divergence from normal is just mind blowing: I have never ever seen such a huge divergance from the normal. The average temps have even been on a decline sine june as if wall arrived there already. Your glaciers will cover pastures etc again. And of course it will all be due to Man's fossil fuel use....

The average temps have even been on a decline sine june as if wall arrived there already. Been fairly cold in Finland. Nothing like the last few years when it was hard to keep the house cool by opening the large amount of ventilation at night. Potentially we might have to put the heating on and it only went off at the end of June. All the other years since we came here in 2009 it was off by end of May or thereabouts. The wife said the other day it was the coldest July she had even known in Helsinki.

The big chill in southern Queensland has delivered what could be the state's most significant snowfall in 30 years. The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) said up to eight centimetres has been recorded around Eukey and Stanthorpe on the Granite Belt. Senior forecaster Sam Campbell said the falls started about midnight and continued until as late as 5:00am. "It's a difficult thing for us to keep track of how much snow actually falls in some of these places. Often they're quite isolated and we don't have reliable observations," he said. "But what we can say is we had a record of five centimetres falling in 2007 and nothing significant in our records between then and 1984, so it's entirely possible that these are the best falls seen in Queensland in over 30 years." www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-17/thick-snow-blankets-southern-queensland/6626630and: Snow has coated parts of New South Wales overnight, as the weather bureau warns of wild weather across the state. The Blue Mountains have seen significant falls, with snow in Katoomba, and locals have estimated about 10-15 centimetres at Blackheath. Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Sean Carson said parts of NSW had seen up to 20 centimetres of snow overnight. External Link: NSW train snow "It's all been driven by this ... cold air drifted up from western NSW," he said. "Now that it's moved onto the coast it's winding up into a pretty big low pressure system. "It has turned to rain there this morning so maybe conditions will gradually ease through the morning as the temperature rises." Residents Rebecca and Patrick McCormack from Grabben Gullen, near Crookwell, said the power was out because powerlines were down in the district. Mr McCormack said it was the worst snow they have ever had and they would be feeding their cattle by hand today. www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-17/snow-coats-parts-of-nsw/6626632

Well that fizzled out for us ... In a week, we went from one typhoon that hit us much harder than expected, to being projected to take a direct hit from a CAT 4 typhoon ... then the projected path started drifting eastward, then it started to weaken ... Nangka has already passed its closest to Busan. It finally decided to drift way east and take a path northeast of Hiroshima and turn up the Japanese coast line. It was weakened to a tropical storm by the time it got to Japan. It was windy yesterday and the day before like it is with an approaching typhoon, then just as it was supposed to get to us, the wind calmed down, and it didn't even rain on us today.
Both last weekend, and today, we got something different from what we suspected because the path of the typhoons drifted east as they approached, though. That made the one last weekend hit us much harder than we expected, and this one just fizzled on us.
The next active one is Halola which is currently a tropical storm, but is strengthening toward Cat 1 strength right now, but it is MUCH too far away to project what it's going to do in relation to East Asia.

Last week, we had 6 tropical storms and typhoons active in the Pacific, and 1 in the atlantic. This week, we have one tropical storm and one tropical depression in the pacific, and that is all. The tropical storm (Halola) was typhoon strength at one point, but it has weakened to tropical storm. it is projected to get back to category 1 strength by Tuesday, but it seems like I've been watching it projected to get back to Category 1 strength for several days.
Whatever caused those last two storms to brush Korea seems to be bringing this one on the same path. If it stays true to the last one, though, it will continue like it's going to hit us, the veer off to the east. It's still too far out there to project the path exact, but it is moving much faster than the last tropical storm, so we could see action yet again this weekend. The difference is: Behind this one is nothing.
Reading back through the thread, someone was talking about record levels of tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific, and honestly, at that time, it looked like that, but it is all going quiet.

Is there any meteorological reason for the current lack of activity or last week's flurry?
