My husband
came across this on some weird website, but Joe Bastardi is a real
meterologist. I always like to hedge my bets, to grow some veggies that
like wet weather and some that like it dry. That way I get something to
complain about no matter what, as my DH says. We've been watching all this
weirdness with the sunspots anyway. Looking back, we've had two very low
lows and two very high highs, with the last high producing overwhelming sunspot
activity. Meanwhile researchers looking at the currents inside the sun
said they'd never seen so little activity and predicted lower activity in the
sun for the next 20 years or so. So while you northerners are planting
melons, you might plant a few more Brussels sprouts. If we could just
predict the weather, we'd always be growing the right thing for the
right year, spraying at the right time...

The
almost total lack of solar
activity means that things are
getting cooler here on earth, and weather expert Joe Bastardi is predicting "a
year without a summer" for the Northern Plains and the US Northeast.
This is because the jet stream has remained unusually far south this spring. This is causing lower temperatures and fewer thunderstorms north of the stream, and means, that if it does not move north, areas now north of the stream will have fewer thunderstorms and also a very mild summer. |
