    Mt Sinabung, located in Karo district, North Sumatra province, Thursday erupted at 7.20 a.m. local time, causing 386 seconds of tectonic earthquakes in some nearby areas.
    Chief of National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said here that following the eruption, the volcano spewed ashes 3.5 thousand meters into the air, while discharging lava 1 thousand meters to the mountains southern region.
    Earlier on Wednesday, the volcano spewed ashes 1.5 thousand meters into the air and causing six tremors, 20 volcanic earthquakes, and one tectonic earthquake.
    In Wednesdays eruption, since 12 p.m. local time, the volcano spewed ashes 700 meters into the air, while releasing lava 1 thousand meters to the east and the southeast.
    Following the eruptions, the agency announced that the volcano remained active and was in the highest stage of warning.
    The agency further called on the community living near the volcano to stay at a radius of three kilometer in the mountains southern and southeastern regions and at a radius of four kilometer to the north and east areas.
    Apart from remaining in the safe location, the agency also urged the people to stay vigilant over the lava eruption, as the dam in the nearby Laborus River could be cracked by the lava flash flood discharged from the crater.
    Mt Sinabung has erupted continuously for the past months.
    Earlier in May, the volcano discharged lava and ashes four kilometers into the air.
    The eruption, which constantly occurs for the past seven years, had displaced some 2 thousand families living near the volcano.
    Up until today, thousands of families still stay in the temporary shelters set up by the government.

    The activity comes asEarth is entering a stream of solar wind flowing from a massive coronal hole on our Sun.

    At least two people have been killed and more than 100 have been injured after a strong earthquake struck Greek islands and Turkey's Aegean coast early Friday morning, authorities said.
    Buildings on the Greek island of Kos sustained structural damage from the earthquake, the city's mayor, Giorgos Kyritsis, told state-run Greek media.
    "The buildings affected were mostly old and were built before the earthquake building codes were introduced," Kyritsis said.
    The coast guard announced the island's port was part of the structural damage.
    Giorgos Halkidios, a government official for the island of Kos, said more than 100 people were injured in the quake.
    The 6.7-magnitude earthquake was centered six miles south of Bodrum, Turkey, and 10 miles east-northeast of Kos, according to the U.S. Geological Survery.
    According to Turkish disaster officials, more than 20 aftershocks have been recorded.
    The BBC reported a small tsunami occurred on the Turkish coast.
    Greece and Turkey lie in an especially earthquake-prone zone.

    Last nights quake was the only the 7th of July and only the 54th of 2017 in what is likely to be the lowest yearly amount of major quakes since the 1940's.

    The quake comes as Earth is entering a stream of solar wind flowing from a massive coronal hole on our Sun

    They consume food of 10 elephants or 2,500 people and can travel up to 130km in one day. Biblical plague of locusts hit Dagestan Russia

    Spine-tingling footage shows a swarm of locusts traveling across a road in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan, where swaths of land have been infested by the plague.
    The amateur video, filmed through the windscreen of a moving car, shows what at first seems to be a sandstorm looming on the horizon.
    However, as the car approaches, the dense cloud turns out to be a chaotic mass of giant bugs making their way across the road.
    The infestation of locusts prompted local authorities to declare a state of emergency in parts of the republic last month, with some 114,000 hectares of agricultural land affected.
    Despite measures being taken, such as fumigation from tractors and planes, the locusts have been eating their way through the republic's farmland since early summer, destroying crops and grazing. "They devour everything.
    They destroy green fields and there is nothing, just bare ground.
    There are the greens over there, which they have not yet reached," a local resident told Ruptly video agency.
    "It makes no difference for them: trees, shrubs or grass.
    If they devour it all, the cattle will have nowhere to graze.
    We would not know what to do then."
    According to the UN's Agriculture and Food Organization, an average swarm of locusts can consume the same amount of food as 10 elephants or 2,500 people, as well as being able to travel distances of up to 130km in one day.

    NOAA Report: Globe had 2nd warmest year to date and 3rd warmest June on record: Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice coverage remains small

    The latest NOAA monthly report on our planets climate reveals it was the 2nd warmest year to date and 3rd warmest June on record, carrying a trend which begun at the end of 2014, 2016 was the hottest year ever with 2015 a close second.

    Our climate has changed and I can't understand why people say otherwise, everyday, The Big Wobble headlines climate records and extremes from around the world.
    Throughout history records have been broken, I get that, however, every month now appears to be extreme.

    Here in Holland it is now the holiday season and a time when Dutch families jump into their cars or campers in hoards and head south to France or Spain, I myself have made the trip many times, when the destination is completed car or camper is covered with thousands of dead insects which are very difficult to clean off, I spoke to a friend today and he said his car was almost devoid of insects after his journey down to southern France, which leads the question, where did they all go?
    This week The Met Office claimed the storm above Cornwall on Wednesday morning produced almost 150,000 lightning strikes in a two hour period which is by far unprecedented and smashed the old world record by a country mile.
    The old record was a mere ten thousand lightning flashes which lit up Hong Kong's night sky over the weekend (Jul 9-10-16) during a thunderstorm that lasted for twelve hours.
    Last week a TRILLION-ton iceberg which is the equivalent of a 64-storey tall building broke free and has reduced the size of the Larson C ice shelf by about 12 per cent.
    On the same day The Big Wobble reported warped roads sinking buildings eroding river banks, slanting spruce trees as permafrost in Bethal Alaska is deteriorating and shrinking.
    The number of countries which have suffered record breaking heatwaves recently is too many to report along with the wildfires which is a deadly spin-off from the heat.

    Below are some highlights of NOAA's report.
    In terms of Earth’s seasonal change, June is a significant month: It marks the summer solstice for the Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice for the Southern Hemisphere.
    It also means the calendar year is half-over, and it’s time for a climate check-up.
    Let’s dive deeper into our monthly analysis to see how the planet fared for the month and the year to date.


    Climate by the numbers June
    The average global temperature set in June 2017 was 1.48 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 59.9 degrees, according to scientists from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.
    This average temperature was the third highest for June in the 1880-2017 record, behind June 2015 (second) and a record-breaking June 2016.
    June 2017 marks the 41st consecutive June and the 390th consecutive month with temperatures at least nominally above the 20th-century average.
    Year to date | January through June 2017 
    The year-to-date average temperature was 1.64 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 56.3 degrees.
    This was the second-warmest for this period, 0.29 of a degree behind the record set in 2016.

    Other notable climate events and facts around the world last month included
    Below-average sea ice at the poles continues
    The average Arctic sea ice extent (coverage) for June was 7.5 percent below the 1981-2010 average, the sixth smallest for the month since satellite records began in 1979.
    The average Antarctic sea ice extent was 6.3 percent below average, the second smallest on record for June behind 2002.
    Warmer-than-average lands and oceans
    The globally averaged land-surface temperature (fourth warmest for the month of June) and the sea-surface temperature (third warmest) ranked second highest on record for the year to date.
    Africa and Europe lead the continents in warmth rankings Africa had its warmest June on record; Europe, its second (tied with 2007); South America, its third (tied with 2005); Asia, it’s eighth; North America, its 10th; and Oceania, its 50th (tied with 1927).
