Road in UK is ripped up and twisted by 'unexplained underground movements'

A ripped up road could cost millions to repair after mysterious underground movements left it so warped it looks like it had been hit by an earthquake.

A section of the B4069 near Lyneham in Wiltshire has been so badly damaged the tarmac has completely snapped or is at a 45 degree angle.

Wiltshire Council say the road has been closed since February 17 - but some drivers are still trying to use it according to police.

The earthquake-like damage has been caused by unexplained underground movements which will now be investigated.

Wiltshire Council are waiting on a report from geotechnical specialists before moving forward with repairs so they can understand what has resulted in the topsy-turvy topography
Local residents claim the subsidence has been getting worse over the last year and a landslip was inevitable.

Wiltshire Council said it is now waiting for a report from geotechnical specialists before taking further action.

Dr Mark McClelland, Wiltshire Council cabinet member for transport, told BBC Radio Wiltshire: 'It could costs hundreds of thousands or up into the millions [to fix].

'There is significant damage to the road. It could be up to 12 months in total. It's not something that can be resolved in a matter of days or weeks.'

Remember this name:#Coningsby. With 40.3C in this historic day it's now the British station with the highest temperature on records, barely beating the official stations of London,also above 40C. 29 stations above the previous national record. -

It’s been 11-days since the UK endured its 48-hours of heat, since that toasty plume of African air rode anomalously-far north on the back of weak and wavy meridional jet stream flow and sent climate extremists into record-breaking fits of bed wetting hyperbole (which they must surely now be embarrassed about).

Britain, and also large parts of Northern France, have seen a pause in summer this week — very cool temperatures for late-July have invaded vast swathes with lows of 2.9C (37.2F) logged on Wednesday morning at Sennybridge, Wales — the nation’s coldest late-July reading in decades.

But according to master shillers theguardian.com, “the UK is no longer a cold country”:

The UK has been enduring some truly anomalous early-season chills, with snow blanketing all four home nations.

The Scottish glens plunged below -15C (5F) over the past few mornings, which, in record books dating back to the 1800s, makes it the UK’s lowest temperatures for Dec 11 and 12 on record, besting the 14.7C from 1967 and the 15C from 1981, respectively.

Needless to say, the MSM is refusing to touch the historical nature of the freeze, instead opting to focus on aspects such the disruptive snow–which is also unseasonable, and the concerning energy implications–more on that later.

London, for example, rarely sees accumulating snow in December, let alone during the first half of the month, but this was the scene on Sunday evening across the capital:........

UK AVALANCHE
The New Year has brought unseasonable warmth to Central Europe –the result of a low solar activity-induced ‘meridional’ jet stream flow, not a taxable human excretion– but this localized treat looks set to be short lived as polar air prepares to descend down from what continues to be an exceptionally chilly Scandinavia/NW Russia.

The UK broke long-standing cold records last month, and heavy snow clipped most parts, particularly the highlands of Scotland.

So much snow accumulated, in fact, that a powerful avalanche was triggered on Ben Nevis late last week; an event that plunged one climber some 2,000 feet to his death on the mountain’s North Face, while seriously injuring another.

Hull Pot
Stunning footage shows a 60ft deep waterfall transformed into a lake after heavy flooding.

Hull Pot, one of England's largest natural holes, was swamped with surging water as storms rolled through the Yorkshire dales on Tuesday (10 January).

Runner Brian Stallwood, who filmed the clip, said he was shocked to find the cascade had disappeared, quipping: "Lake' Hull Pot this evening - who nicked the waterfall?"

Hull Pot, which measures 300ft (91m) long by 60ft (18m) wide, sits on the western side of Pen-y-ghent, one of the mountains that feature in the famed 'three peaks' challenge.

Across the UK, heavy March snow is closing roads and schools and grounding flights — even in southern England.

A spring-delaying freeze is gripping the UK this week, with a record-challenging -14C (6.8F) posted in Scotland this morning.

The Met Office has issued a myriad of weather warnings for both cold and snow which extend across the majority of the country.

This Wednesday morning, sizable flakes have been noted in London:




Even the southwest city of Bristol has seen snow, with its airport grounding all flights due to the polar conditions.

“The Bristol Airport teams are working hard on snow clearing operations, but the snow continues to fall,” reads a statement.

New research reveals that more than half of people living in Scotland are spending their time in the cold and dark for fear of rising household bills during the ongoing ‘cost of living crisis’.

The report found that 51% of people across the country are having to keep lights and heating switched off, despite the recent sharp drop in temperatures, in a bid to save money.

With some 64% of Generation Z who work from home having to do so in the cold, with the lights off, while those aged 65 and over the most concerned about the energy issues, highlighting the cross-generational impact the crisis is causing.

Gas and electricity bills have soared over recent months and the UK government’s Energy Bills Support Scheme is set to end at the end of March, putting further pressure on households.

Monday will see the onset of May, yet winter-like lows and heavy snows are besetting the Northern UK, particularly Scotland, leaving mainstream meteorologists frantically flicking through their AGW Party handbook for answers.

“Weather not climate” is a copout: The anthropogenic global warming theory called for “no more snow”, yet here we are in late-April with the UK Met Office, king of the warm-mongers, admitting, “It feels like the return of winter. It’s hard to believe four months ago it was Christmas and now we’re seeing festive scenes on the hills and mountains.”

The Met Office says temperatures in urban areas should hold above freezing–barely–but that any rural spots away from the coast could see readings as low as -8C (17.6C) or colder; temperatures that will rival/best the lowest readings ever logged in the UK for the time of year.

For reference, the all-time lows for April 27 and 28 currently stand as -6.1C (21F) and -7.8C (18F), respectively, set at Glenlivet in 1956.

These unseasonable and record-breaking lows will plague the UK until at least the May Bank Holiday weekend, state official forecasts, as brutal air from the Arctic rides anomalously-far south on the back of a low solar

A 2.5-magnitude earthquake in the Derryveagh mountains - the joint largest onshore earthquake ever recorded in Ireland - was felt in Buncrana and Desertegney at the weekend.

The tremor was registered throughout County Donegal with some residents reporting that the earthquake shook their homes when it occurred at a depth of approximately 10 kilometres at 12.30am near Glenveagh National Park on Saturday.

The Irish National Seismic Network (INSN) operated by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) said it had received reports that the event was felt throughout the Donegal area and was recorded by seismic stations operated by the DIAS in Mayo, Tipperary, Louth, Galway, Dublin, Cork, Kerry and Wexford.

The earthquake was also detected by several Raspberry Shake seismometers operated in Ireland by citizens and schools in Antrim, Sligo and Dublin.

DIAS received felt event reports from all over Donegal including at Buncrana and Desertegney in Inishowen.

The earthquake is the joint largest onshore earthquake ever detected by the INSN, according to a catalogue of seismic events that dates back to 1980. An earthquake of magnitude 2.5 was also recorded in Donegal on January 26, 2012.

I have spent a bit of time living in Ireland, on and off, and got used to not feeling the odd shake- or worse- as we do in NZ!

The UK Met Office insists 40C summers will soon to be commonplace. And so by their calculations, the persistently chilly July just gone was made all the more extraordinary. It was a historically cold month and there’s still no warm-up in sight.

The Met Office are keen to blame the jet stream for the UK’s miserable summer, and they’re right to.

That band of fast-flowing air some 6 miles above our heads has indeed ‘buckled’ and is indeed responsible for funneling polar air over not just the UK but the majority of the European continent, too, which has resulted in a host new low temperature records across many nations, as well as heavy summer snow in the Alps.

A 400-mile icy wall is expected to hit the UK next week with eight days of snow to fall across the country.
New weather maps show the snow bomb striking Scotland and Northern England the hardest, whilst the mercury is also set to plummet to as low as -5C.

Much of the United Kingdom awoke to a very snowy Thursday morning, with inches blanketing all four home nations.

The north copped a healthy coating of late-season snow, as you might expect during an influx of Arctic air.

But so too did the south.

Here's a shot of south Devon, England during the early hours of March 28:


And here's Dartmoor (also in SW England):

Rare Easter snow hasn't just been confined to the UK.

The likes of Malaga, Spain have also been hit.

The southern municipality, located on the Costa del Sol of the Mediterranean, received a blanket of fresh snow this week following a dramatic drop in temperatures. Whilst rain hit the low-lying regions, Malaga’s higher altitudes saw a deluge of spring snow.

Accumulations were noted in the Sierra de las Nieves, Sierra Tejeda, Sierra Bermeja and the Torcal de Antequera National Park.

Snow was also visible from the cities of Ronda and Granada.
