³Little Ice Age (Maunder-Dalton) circulation patterns are emerging and more rapid world cooling is taking over,² says astrophysicist Piers Corbyn.

³The Sun¹s magnetic field is getting into a muddle as one half of it changes out of step with the other and this muddled behavior is likely to become very marked in MAY,² says Corbyn, of WeatherAction.com.

³The sun is entering a Œmuddled¹ magnetic state. This strange behavior was pointed out by Japanese researchers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and the Riken research foundation* who say this was the sort of behavior which probably took place during low periods of solar activity in the past** and which drove the world into a cold state of longer winters, cold Spring months and lousy summers.

³At the same time independent observers have noticed an increase in Little Ice Age type (Maunder-Dalton type) weather events and circulation patterns around the world such as more extreme hailstorms and cyclonic cold weather in Britain and Ireland with the Jet stream shifted well south***.

³These changes and findings increase our confidence in our forecast made two years ago of general world cooling and our specific forecasts for individual months and regions such as for an exceptionally cold May this year in central and east Britain and West Europe ­ and which comes with the present very warm weather in East Europe which we predicted 4 weeks ahead.
