Weather in the media is hardly confined to articles that you approve of. Different articles appear all the time, so different people post them in this thread which is called "Weather in the Media: NEWSPAPERS ARTICLES etc." not "Sensible weather stories in the media". Besides, if it was called the latter, their would be no posts in here.
Freak hailstone storms have been blamed by the National Roads Authority (NRA) for a spate of traffic accidents and road closures on a €207 million stretch of motorway. In a letter to Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Carey, the authority’s programme and regulatory manager Gary Lynch has attributed incidents along the M18 route to intense hailstorms. Mr Lynch was responding to Mr Carey’s concerns over the high number of incidents on the route between Crusheen and Gort. The road first opened to traffic in 2010. Mr Lynch wrote that “there would be a particular problem associated with hailstorms along the M18 which seem to be more frequent along this route than at other locations throughout the national road motorway network”. He wrote: “It was such a hailstorm on January 13th, 2015, which resulted in skidding accidents and the closure of the road for a time by the gardaí.” An earlier hailstorm on the M18 route near Newmarket-onFergus in February 2014 resulted in five separate car crashes during a 10 minute period that resulted in Gardaí, six units of the fire brigade and two ambulances arriving at the scene. Intensity - Mr Lynch said “it is worth noting that some of the hailstorms recorded had such intensity that at one time they caused the road temperature to drop by approximately 5 degrees Celsius in a 30 minute period”. Mr Lynch discussed the conditions experienced on the M18 with the head of forecasting at Met Éireann, Gerald Flemingwho “noted that these localised, short and intense hail showers are virtually impossible to predict or forecast even with Co Clare being well covered with the Met Éireann station and radar at Shannon”. Mr Lynch said that “with this in mind, the only action for a road operator when faced with these conditions is to implement operations to mitigate the hazard for the road user as far as frequently practicable . . . On many of the days that hail has occurred, the gardaí have taken the decision to close the road – in some cases as a precaution and on others in relation to the response of incidents on the network
The UK will be HOTTER than Bondi Beach with a five-day heatwave starting on Monday - smashing the record for the hottest day of the year. Forecasters predict temperatures to reach 23C before they soar to 28C - bringing revellers the country's hottest ever early super-summer. Sun-starved Britons are expected to flock to the beaches over May bank holidays and festival goers will bask in the glorious sunshine over Glastonbury from June 24 to 28 and other major events including Wimbledon from June 29 to July 12 and the FA Cup final on May 30. The Met Office said Wednesday is shaping up to be the hottest day of the year so far beating the 71.4F (21.9C) recorded in London on Friday. Roasting air sweeping in from the Mediterranean on Tuesday will lift temperatures higher than Mallorca, the Costa Del Sol and even rivalling Bondi Beach, in Sydney, Australia (24C).
One man was killed in the severe summer storm which swept across much of the Netherlands on Saturday. The man died when a tree was blown down and hit the car he was sitting in next to the Bilderberg hotel in Wolfheze near Arnhem, news agency ANP reported. Other people were injured in Amsterdam, Apeldoorn and Rotterdam, broadcaster Nos said, and there was severe disruption to public transport. Winds of up to 110 kph battered the country on Saturday afternoon, with the strongest gust – 121 kph – registered at the port of IJmuiden. Weather bureau Weeronline said the gales were the strongest recorded in the summer since official records began in 1901.
Wherever you live or happen to travel to, never complain about the heat and humidity again. In the city of Bandar Mahshahr (population of about 110,000 as of 2010), the air felt like a searing 165 degrees (74 Celsius) today factoring in the humidity. [Iran’s heat index is literally off the charts, and this is what it feels like] Although there are no official records of heat indices, this is second highest level we have ever seen reported. To achieve today’s astronomical heat index level of 165, Bandar Mahshahr’s actual air temperature registered 115 degrees (46 Celsius) with an astonishing dew point temperature of 90 (32 Celsius).
Climate scientists warned temperatures in the Pacific have increased by THREE degrees Fahrenheit in recent weeks as ocean winds have weakened. The so-called El Nino phenomenon, which has a huge impact on the world's weather, has only been stronger twice before in recorded history - the last time in 1997, when a series of violent 100MPH Atlantic storms slammed into the UK. And experts claimed this year's El Nino is STILL strengthening and could soon break all historical records with the extreme weather patterns lastng until next Spring - meaning Britain could face one of the worst winter storm seasons in living memory. Meteorologist Leon Brown, of The Weather Channel UK, said the super-strength El Nino could even dislodge the jetstream, leading to more unstable weather in the UK this autumn. He said: "A more mobile weather pattern through winter increases the risk of a wetter, stormier season in the UK. “The biggest impact of El Nino is around the tropics as we have started to see with a greater number of tropical storms “However it is a very powerful phenomenon and has knock-on effects across the globe in America, Asia, Australia and Europe. “There are signs that this year a significant El Nino is building. We think it could drive a strong jetstream which can lead to a more mobile weather pattern and very changeable and stormy weather as we head into winter."

Trillions are being spent on the completely wrong scenario, an independent veteran meteorologist implies. Instead of warming, we need to worry about the coming 125-year cool period, which has already begun. A former National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist has spoken out in a just released 49-minute video that looks at climate change and what lies ahead. The recent cold winters and expanding polar ice caps are ominous signs of a global cooling that has already begun, maintains David Dilley, now President and Founder of Global Weather Oscillations, Inc. Claims of warming have not been properly founded. Photo right: David Dilley, Global Weather Oscillations Dilley has forty-two years of professional experience in the meteorology and climatology and many publications. He was with NOAA for twenty years. Not only is the government wrong with its claims of a coming warming, Dilley accuses the federal government of fiddling with global temperature data with the aim of producing a false picture of what is going on. In his must-see video presentation dubbed “Is Climate Change Dangerous?“, he examines the many drivers and factors behind climate change and why we need to focus on the real problem of a coming cooling.
