WEATHER DYNAMICS Geomagnetic storms are more frequent during the solar maximum and around the spring and fall equinoxes, when the alignment of the planetary fields increases the frequency and intensity of geomagnetic storms. SolarCycle 24: 2013 x 2014 x 2015 x 2016 x 2017 THE LOS ANGELES WILDFIRES Jan 1, 2025 – G4 CLASS GEOMAGNETIC STORM: 2025 is off to a good start. Auroras spilled across the Arctic Circle, spreading as far south as Mexico, Colorado and Arizona during an intense geomagnetic storm. January 5–6, 2025 – EXTREME USA BLIZZARD A significant and expansive winter weather event produced blizzard conditions across the High Plains, as well as a long swath of accumulating snow and ice storm to the eastern half of the United States. January 7 to 31 2025 – THE LOS ANGELES WILDFIRES – A series of 7 destructive wildfires affected the Los Angeles area. The fires were exacerbated hurricane-force Santa Ana winds, which in some places reached 100 miles per hour. The wildfires killed at least 29 people, forced more than 200,000 to evacuate, and destroyed more than 18,000 homes and structures. OKLAHOMA TORNADOES May 17, 2013 – M3 Class solar flare and geoeffective CME May 20, 2013 – TORNADOES KILL 24 & INJURE 212 when an EF5 tornado ravaged Moore, Oklahoma, and adacent areas, with peak winds at 210 miles per hour, part of a larger system which produced several other tornadoes across the Great Plains over the previous two days, including five that struck portions of Central Oklahoma on May 19. The ionized rotating planetary core transforms the momentum of moving charges into dipole moments which increases the momentum of orbiting ions in the direction of core rotation and powers the west to east movement of planetary weather systems and high velocity jet streams, ionized by sunlight. |
