Watch the skies and land and oceans

"Watch Africa"

This anomaly is related to the "African blob" discussed in this session:
We have a separate thread for volcanos, but I'm leaving a note here because this one is definitely related to the blob.


Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano just woke up after 10,000+ years of sleep.
 
I suppose this fits here...


Flights disrupted as Airbus requests modifications to thousands of planes​


Airbus has warned flights will be disrupted after it requested immediate modifications to thousands of planes over the discovery that intense radiation from the sun could corrupt data crucial to flight controls.

Airbus said the problem was discovered following a recent "incident" in the US involving an A320 family aircraft and apologised for disruption to passengers.

The incident, which happened on 30 October, involved a JetBlue Airways A320 making an emergency landing in Florida, after a sudden drop in altitude. At least 15 people were reported to have been injured.

The sun was very active back then, and it was comet 3I/Atlas discharging the solar capacitor.

Just some posts from back then in October:



The X flares arrived on Earth just in November.

And the sun is still officially active by all standards, only that they don't know why it is so asymmetrically active. Something out there is discharging it, other than 3I Atlas.
 
There's another blob in that area of the world, so increase surface temperature seems to be a factor.


Meteorologists say current extremes of weather in Southeast Asia could stem from the interaction of two active systems, Typhoon Koto in the Philippines and the unusual formation of Cyclone Senyar in the Malacca Strait.

It's the first time a cyclone ever forms in the Malacca Strait, since historical records began.


Cyclonic Storm Senyar, referred to as Tropical Depression 34W after its crossover, is an exceptionally rare and very deadly tropical cyclone that brought heavy rains, catastrophic flooding and landslides to the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra in late November 2025. The thirteenth tropical depression and third cyclone of the 2025 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Senyar developed in the Strait of Malacca from a low-pressure area that formed on 22 November. The disturbance headed westwards and intensified into a depression and then a deep depression on 25 November. It then further intensified into a cyclonic storm before making landfall on northern Sumatra near midnight on 26 November, and then paralleled the Sumatran coast as it weakened and made a second landfall in Peninsular Malaysia. It was the second tropical cyclone documented in the Strait of Malacca after Tropical Storm Vamei in 2001, and the first to form there since the beginning of reliable records.

Senyar's remnants moved over Malaysia and emerged back into the South China Sea on 28 November, after which the Japan Meteorological Agency began tracking it. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center also resumed advisories, stating that it had moved into the Western Pacific basin and regenerated.

Senyar caused heavy flooding and landslides across central and southern Thailand (especially Songkhla province), peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra, Indonesia, killing over 600 people in the three countries. At least 343 deaths, 937 injuries and 316 missing persons were reported in Indonesia, all of them in North Sumatra, West Sumatra and Aceh Provinces. Thailand also recorded 263 fatalities across 14 provinces, including approximately 200 in Songkhla alone, although some officials claim a much higher figure.
Death toll is rising.

Straight of Malacca:

The video shows bright green bands shining above the Earth's surface at an altitude of about 400 kilometers.

Incredible flood in Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka. At least 1,300 casualty.

Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka


The director-general of Sri Lanka’s disaster management centre says the country is facing a “humanitarian crisis of historic proportions” as more than 1.1 million people are displaced by floods and landslides.
Indonesia’s forests in ruins - Floods and landslides in North Sumatra carried away millions of cubic meters of felled timber, officials said, sparking public concern that illegal logging may have contributed to the disaster.

Batang Toru, the lush forested area, has turned into a wasteland of broken logs and shattered homes. Roads have vanished, replaced by rivers of sludge.
