1 EUROPE MARCH 2014 Scandinavia and most of N + Central Europe often wet with storms in N/W in first half of March. Then fine warm and sunny till near month end when NW europe turns cold and wet. Med & S/SE Europe mostly fine & warm EUROPE Regional Weathermaps MAR 2014 SLAT9B Prod 26 Feb 2014 from choices of 16 Feb Hot / heatwaves in S/E Europe from 2 nd week (Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey). Most stormy/windy spells: MAR ~1-2 nd (R4), ~10-12 th (R5), ~14-15 th (R5), th (R5). NW Russia frequent cold wintry blasts. Basic approx pressure developments 1-16 th Mobile Lows and strong Westerly flow in Scandinavia and much of Continental Europe. Mostly Low pressure West Siberia. High pressure Med & SE Europe th Large High pressure dominates Europe, Lows largely blocked to West 28 th -April1 Deep Low scandinavia / N Europe. High block Ukraine & S Russia V long meanders in Jet Stream in accordance with mini Ice Age circulation. The changes in circulation giving these often extreme weather patterns will be driven by changes in the Solar-Lunar factors which govern the behavior of the Jet stream and are predictable by WeatherAction s revolutionary Solar-Lunar-Action-Technique (SLAT9B) months ahead and nothing to do with CO2 changes - the Climate Change theory - which is delusional and fraudulent. The wild extremes are consequences of the Wild Jet Stream / Mini Ice Age (ie on average significantly colder) Climate decades the world has entered. Standard Meteorology will run into serious problems this month in SLAT main Red (R4 & R5) periods during which short range standard Meteorology forecasts for precipitation will generally need to be doubled and strong wind / tornado / thunder risk enhanced. Weather Action & Piers Corbyn accept no liability for any loss howsoever arising from use of forecast information. Application of forecasts is entirely at the user s risk. None of this forecast may be published or circulated in media or web or used in production of other forecasts without agreement of Weather Action & Piers Corbyn. Media use is welcome but may only be from specific issued quotes to the newspaper or media concerned or issued displays on People in the sun at a cafe in Goerlitzer Park in Berlin's Kreuzberg district on February 22, 2014 part of continuing spring-like temperatures up to twelve degrees Celsius in the region.

Below part of WeatherAction th Feb Feb Bursts of Spring confirmed Euro users were pleased with our correct forecast of Springlike weather at times, said Piers Corbyn of WeatherAction. Our important SLAT9B (6Feb) shift to increase penetration of fronts eastward mainly in top active (R5, R4 periods) was also confirmed.
