One of Baba Vanga's chilling predictions 'comes true' for the UK just days into 2024
Baba Vanga, whose full name was Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, was an attributed mystic and healer who claimed to have foreseen the future - including the September 11 attacks
One of Baba Vanga's predictions for 2024 appears to have already come true for the UK just days into the New Year.
The attributed mystic and healer, who claims to be able to see into the future, predicted a worsening climate, with several terrifying weather events likely to wreak havoc throughout the year.
Yesterday, Brits woke to snow in some areas yesterday, however, a "rare" weather phenomenon - freezing rain - hit the northeast of England. Last week, Storm Henk brought devastating floods that saw thousands evacuated from their homes as rivers across the country broke their banks. The named storm brought 94mph winds and claimed the lives of two people, a man in his 50s and an 87-year-old woman.
Baba Vanga, whose full name was Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, alluded to such events, in addition to other phenomena around climate change, including earthquakes and tsunamis.
Japan has been ravaged by several quakes this year already. A record 7.6-magnitude earthquake first struck on New Year's Day in the Asian nation, and many aftershocks have been felt since. It was reported these had caused a tsunami last week.
The freezing rain in the UK, rarely seen the Met Office says, posed a danger to Brits, forecasters said. The Met Office explained: "It can produce striking effects, as the raindrop spreads out momentarily across the surface before it freezes, encasing the surface in a layer of clear ice. However, it is not just these eye-catching scenes that the freezing rain can bring; the weight of the ice can sometimes be heavy enough to bring down trees and power lines, and the glaze of ice on the ground effectively turns roads and pathways into an ice rink. The freezing rain can also prove extremely hazardous for aircraft."
Precipitation first falls from a cloud as snow before descending through warmer air and turning to rain droplets. However, on rare occasions, freezing rain occurs when it then falls through cold air again before landing on the ground. The Met Office goes on: "This means that they are still falling in liquid form, even though their temperature has fallen below zero. When this ‘supercooled’ droplet hits the ground (which is below zero too) it spreads out a little on landing, and then instantly freezes, encasing the surface in a layer of clear ice. This is why it is called freezing rain."
Baba Vanga has also predicted the assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin by "a fellow countryman" in 2024. While the war in Ukraine rages on, the death of the Russian leader is said to plunge the world into greater uncertainty. She also warned of terror attacks across Europe, while an unnamed "big country" will carry out biological weapons attacks in 2024, according to some interpretations of her predictions.
Economic experts should be warned the mystic also foretold of a huge economic crisis in 2024. She said that rising debt levels and escalating geopolitical tensions risk plunging the global economy into chaos.
