Wind gusts of up to 86 kilometers an hour are also expected to lash Skåne, Halland, Blekinge and Öland in the south.
  • An earthquake in Rakhine State has caused underground water temperatures to rise, setting off volcano eruptions of mud and small amounts of lava. A mud volcano erupted on November 26 on a small hill one mile west of Bawyabaya village, about 32 miles from Kyaukphyu. The eruption sent magma and lava 15-feet into the air, and about 5 acres of nearby land was covered by magma.

  • Strong winds and heavy snowfalls will snarl traffic in south-western Finland on Friday as a winter storm hits the coast. The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) has issued a storm warning, and thousands of households have already lost power. Some 7,500 households are suffering blackouts in southern and south-western Finland 
  • Violent storm force winds battered Ireland today, causing chaos for commuters. The gales brought down trees and led to some flooding in conditions worse than Hurricane Katia last September. The “destructive” winds howled from early today and reached speeds of up to 130kph, knocking over bins and blowing debris around the capital. Drivers and pedestrians were warned to be wary of loose debris and the possibility of falling trees as conditions worsened throughout the morning. And while the gales are to ease tonight, Met Eireann predicted they would return again next week. Christmas shoppers were left to cling on to their bags as winds whipped violently through Dublin and other parts of the country. AA Roadwatch called on drivers to “take extra care” on exposed routes, particularly those in high-sided vehicles. “It's already stormy through parts of Leinster affecting Dublin, Wicklow Town and Tullamore in Co Offaly,” AA said this morning. The gales reached speeds not seen since the tail end of Hurricane Katia hit the country last September. Met Eireann blamed the conditions on “a violent storm in our sea area”. 
  • 88 people died today by the fire that broke out in a hospital in the eastern Indian city of Calcutta (Kolkata). Upset and angry relatives destroyed hospital property shouting slogans against authorities for not having enough fire safety measures. The fire had also engulfed the ICU and relatives claim that they were the ones who rescued most patients and that help arrived much later. The hospital announced that the family of those who have died will be paid Rs 5 lakh as compensation. Reports said many bodies were moved to SSKM hospital. Fire Services Minister Javed Khan said the fire spread because of stocks of highly combustible material
