This unusual and depressing weather forecast for the Amsterdam area of North Holland was found on the Buijenrader (cloud radar) website last weekend. Constant heavy rain started in October 2023 in this area. 12 months later it has proven to be a record-breaking wet year in Ireland, the UK and Western Europe, with no signs of the downpours stopping anytime soon! (For our American visitors 10 deg C is 50 deg F)
In April 2023, England was drenched after the wettest 18 months since records began in 1836. England has experienced its wettest 18 months since records began, leaving farmers struggling to plant crops in waterlogged fields and transport networks disrupted by flooding. The wet weather continued with September 2024 being the wettest month ever in the last 10 years, but it's not just a UK pattern.
In July 2024, Euro News reported that Germany had recorded its wettest year, with an increase of 35% in precipitation.
The first half of 2024 was the wettest ever recorded in the Netherlands, where I live. According to figures from Weeronline, a total of 570 millimetres of rain fell in the Netherlands in the six months from January to June 2024, way above the average of 362 millimetres, and significantly more than the previous record of 501 millimetres, which was set in 2016. Rainfall was especially high in April and May when new monthly records were set, and in January and February.
Death Spiral
But what happened in Spain in the last couple of months is not just unprecedented but also super-frightening when you consider the power, strength and destruction localised flooding can bring—It is not only awesome—But worryingly unstoppable and is a merciless killer and destroyer of infrastructure without compassion. And we just don't know how worse it will get, but it will as the planet warms. In some areas of Spain, more than a year of rain fell in less than a day on the 29 of October 2024. 100s' died with many still missing. These unprecedented downfalls carried on well into November destroying hundreds of miles of Polly-tunnel and glasshouse farming in Spain which will affect Europe for the next year.

Credit NASA. An unusual weather pattern developed over Marocco and its neighbour Spain in late October 2024. The weather pattern, shown above on the NASA satellite shows a massive cloud system swirling anti-clockwise above the two countries, this system lasted for days and brought unprecedented flooding to parts of Spain.
Jump forward to this week . . . I received an email from my old friend from Florida, Hawkeye, who, as you may know, is still recovering from Hurricane Ian two years ago. She has also experienced five hurricanes in the last three months, three floods in six months, and several tornadoes. As you can imagine, she is at her wit's end. The email was about cloud seeding, below is a snip of the email:
What triggered the floods in Spain...? What's admitted in the news are some links I found through a simple Google Search saying cloud seeding is to blame for those torrential rains that caused these floods that Gary has posted here . The Japan Times and Morocco National News said it! Google 'Morocco cloud seeding' and read it for yourself! It says Spain is blaming Morocco for their recent flood event due to Morocco's cloud seeding, that the cloud seeding caused abnormal amounts of rain to fall.

How cloud seeding boosts rainfall — and why that’s controversial—Japan Times
Intrigued, I did some more digging . . . I went back to NASA, this time the Earth Observation Site. I found a global rainfall graph for October, the month catastrophic rainfall began to hit Spain—(The results for November are not yet complete), but what I did find was astonishing, see below.
Morocco, North Africa is the tip of the Sahara Dessert, is not known for its rainfall, neither is Spain, however, in October 2024 Morocco and Southern Spain recorded more rainfall than the Central and South American rainforest, which is incredible! By the way, the Moroccan government, despite admitting cloud seeding in October have denied the floods in Spain were caused by the seeding experiment.
Dessert Floods
Also in late October, Saudi Arabia’s Al-Jawf region experienced its first snowfall in 'recorded history.' Heavy rains and hail preceded the unprecedented snowfall. The Saudi Press Agency highlighted that the significant precipitation beginning last Wednesday led to snow and created waterfalls, revitalizing the valleys and infusing the region with life—This week, Saudi's neighbour Yemen has suffered unprecedented flooding—But is this part of another, more sinister story? In April 2024 Dubai hit the news for all the wrong reasons.
Cloud seeding causes Dubai April floods?
Dubai is situated on the coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and is usually very dry. But while it receives less than 100mm (3.9in) a year of rainfall on average, it does experience occasional extreme downpours. In the city of Al-Ain - just over 100km (62 miles) from Dubai - about 256mm (10in) of rain was recorded in just 24 hours. A "cut off" low-pressure weather system, which drew in warm, moist air and blocked other weather systems from coming through was the main cause. "This part of the world is characterised by long periods without rain and then irregular, heavy rainfall, but even so, this was a very rare rainfall event," explained Prof Maarten Ambaum, a meteorologist at the University of Reading here.
UAE could use AI to increase cloud seeding . . .Coincidently just yesterday Time Out reported that the United Arab Emirates could turn to Artificial Intelligence (AI) to increase cloud seeding missions and rainfall levels across the country, it has been revealed. The UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science revealed the plans at an event held at the headquarters of the National Centre of Meteorology in Abu Dhabi. There, it was revealed AI could be used shortly to boost the amount of rainfall in the arid UAE. Cloud seeding is a hot topic in Dubai and the rest of the country as most of the rain that we get comes as a result of it. Full Story Here
What's Behind These Global Floods And Droughts
Floods and droughts cover our planet, so what is causing more floods, is it cosmic ray increases, Hunga Tonga volcano eruption or something else like cloud seeding? Droughts are another thing being seen massively across Earth, what is causing a disruption in rainfall? I do believe a massive cycle is here again in the civilization cycle.Recent Posts

Gary, I take online natural health/healing classes and someone posted this: "they want fewer of us because in 2011 they learned of discoveries allowing people to live 1000 years at peak health like a 40 year old and they want only those they want in that era and don't want anyone who has short lives to be on the planet because the short lived people would be jealous. All the people doing the bad deeds, unless they are invited into the 1000 year club, then they are slated for culling as well after they are no longer useful to the agenda." 1000 Year Club?
Hi LT . . . Jared Kushner—"I think that there's a good probability that my generation is, hopefully with the advances in science, is either the first generation to live forever or the last generation that's going to die," Kushner said. "So we need to keep ourselves in pretty good shape."
Hmmm, you may well be onto something LT!
