UNITED KINGDOM: DECEMBER 2015 WAS THE WETTEST MONTH OF ALL TIME..!

It’ll come as no surprise that the Met Office announced today that December 2015 wasn’t just the wettest December on record, but also the wettest calendar month on record for the UK.

Copious amounts of rain fell during December 2015, as three named storms – Desmond, Eva and Frank – affected the UK and Ireland.

The storms not only brought heavy rain and flooding, but severe gales, which caused disruption to travel and power supplies.

Thousands of homes were flooded in Scotland, northern England and Ireland as flood defences failed to cope with the abundance of rain flowing through the river systems. -

Kuwait has become the latest Muslim nation to renounce ties with Iran

Kuwait has become the latest Muslim nation to renounce ties with Iran after it recalled its ambassador to Tehran, following the Islamic Republic's rift with Saudi Arabia

The state-run Kuwait News Agency reported the news. A source at the Foreign Ministry blasted Iran for its alleged violations of the commitment to provide security to diplomatic missions – an accusation Iran has always refuted.

Kuwait’s move is the latest in a series of decisions taken by those siding with Saudi Arabia in its fall-out with Iran – a situation which began after the execution by Riyadh of a prominent Shia cleric, along with 46 other people. This was followed by condemnation by Iran, and later by angry Iranian protesters storming the Saudi Embassy in Tehran.

This led to an international outcry over Iran’s alleged unwillingness to ensure the safety of diplomatic missions on its soil.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has issued a statement on the latest developments, condemning Saudi Arabia's actions.

"Saudi Arabia cannot hide its crime of beheading a religious leader by severing political relations with Iran," Rouhani was quoted by Reuters as saying, citing IRNA, after a meeting with Danish Foreign Minister Kristian Jensen in Tehran.

"We believe diplomacy and negotiations are the best way to solve problems between countries," Rouhani added. “Regional countries can save the region of terrorism dangers through unity.”

The move by Kuwait follows the decision by Bahrain and Sudan to sever all diplomatic ties with Iran, and the United Arab Emirates to limit the number of Iranian diplomats allowed within its borders.

Sudan has now given Iranian diplomats two weeks to leave the country, AP reports. This comes a day after Khartoum informed Riyadh of its solidarity with Saudi Arabia on the Iranian matter and announced the expulsion of Iran's ambassador.

The international community has been urging both sides to make efforts at de-escalation, among them Russia, who offered to act as a neutral mediator between the two.

The same suggestion was made by France.

The escalating spat between Iran and Saudi Arabia could derail all efforts at solving the problem of Syria, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told BILD in an interview on Tuesday. He expressed a wish that both sides would focus urgently on solving their differences and then on working together to find political solutions to crises like Syria and Yemen. The region, he said, requires Tehran and Riyadh to be “responsible players”.

VIDEO: Momotombo volcano in Nicaragua erupted with Strong explosion

A strong explosion occurred this morning at 04:22 local time at the volcano, covering much of the summit cone with incandescent ejecta. 

The lava flow effusion and continuous strombolian activity had stopped in early December, followed by only high-temperature degassing, sporadic minor explosions and the growth of what might have been a small lava dome. A more intense phase of activity seems to have started yesterday. Early on 2 January, small ash emissions occurred, followed by more, still weak explosions in the early afternoon of yesterday. The strong explosion this morning might have involved a small pyroclastic flow on the NE side of the volcano, reaching about 1.5-2 km length. Whether or not this activity is sign of a new batch of magma arriving at the vent, and leading up to more intense activity to come, or result of more superficial processes, e.g. surface pressure released beneath the recently emplaced lava occupying the summit is unclear. No damages were reported to have occurred from this morning's explosion.

VIDEO: Guatemala' s Fuego volcano erupts sending ash up to 24,000 feet high

According to Guatemala's volcanic monitor, Insivumeh, thick ash was sent up to 24,000 feet high because of the eruption.

It caused new lava flows and loud explosions, however none of the mainland has been greatly impacted.

This comes after an eruption that began last week intensified for the volcano, which lies about 30 miles southwest of Guatemala city.

The eruption has had no affect on any flights at the country's main international airport according to Reuters.

TWICE THIS TIME..!! MYSTERY ACTIVATION ON SEA BUOYS IN NORTH PACIFIC..

AGAIN Today we see Alarm activations on the Sea Buoys in the Northern Pacific. 

First activation started on the Buoy furthest to the North East. Alarm started Sunday Morning.

Second activation started on the Buoy furthest to the North East. Alarm started Monday Morning.

A similar incident happened on Christmas Day. 

I have electonic background and by looking at these numbers. There is no way the sea has risen or fallen by these numbers in them very short periods of time. It seems like a fault on the equipment..

BUT it is near impossible for 2 devices to become fault at the very same time. I have 10 years experience in the Security Systems Industry. There has to be a cause..

Maybe something in the air.. Interference from a higher electromagnetic in that certain area of the world? who really knows..
